Klee Brasserie Serves Breast Milk Cheese
You may remember when pushing for breast-milk foods for people was a publicity gimmick done by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals--see below). Well, this time it's real.
"Iron Chef" Daniel Angerer said necessity is the mother of invention--and in this case the source of milk. He had and wife Lori Mason had a freezer full of her breast milk, and were running out of room. Rather than waste it, he decided to serve cheese made from it with figs and Hungarian pepper at Klee Brasserie.
Of course some people are shocked. Even the New York City Health Department advised him to stop serving it. They didn't have a law against it, but you know if they work hard enough they can make up--I mean find--something.
It's actually odd that it would seem odd. People think nothing of swallowing bodily fluid from a fat, four footed creature that regurgitates matter from its stomach, then chews it and shallows it and regurgitates it again. But humans drinking a drink that's specifically designed to fill the nutritional needs of humans? Horrors!
And if it starts with getting adults to consume breast milk, it won't end there! Before you know it, they'll be having teenagers, preteens and young children doing it. Can you imagine the atrocity of having babies breast feeding?

"After eleven months in office, Barack Obama has hardly revolutionized – or even altered – the major dysfunction that confronts our system. A man of obviously good values – read his books and speeches – he has yet to show convictions. He has tinkered to keep terrible problems from getting much worse – a kind of political plumber without access to equipment that would redo the entire system."
Parents, moralists and media are curently attacking Sexting, or sending nude, semi-nude or sexually-explicit images and videos of yourself over phone and the Internet. They're even going after cybersex, or sexually-explicit conversations in chat rooms. Naturally, the biggest concern is when it's done by "young people."
Remember Australia, which used to be such a cool place to visit and live? Well, censors and social prudes are continuing to wage their glorious battle to make the country sterile and oppressed for visitors and natives alike.

If you remember 1990s American television, you likely remember Miyam Bialik as Blossom. Blossom was the teen who hung around with Six and had a clueless brother named Joey. Now Bialik is becoming known for alternative or holistic parenting.
Yep, we guessed it. Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, was seen alive in a video after he was murdered. Who would have thought it? We would have thought it. Look Below.
We weren't going to even mention this, but....
As of right now, it's been seven weeks since the death of "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson died at age 50. He's been the focus of tremendous media attention, and received what was called "the biggest celebrity send-off of all time," watched by 1 billion people.
The most effective censorship is the censorship you don't know about. If what you can learn is controlled by a government, corporation, religion, you won't know what you're missing. You will likely believe what you're told.
Portions of this were lifted from our report on Gary Gygax, who died a year ago.
In case you aren't an American who has or works with young children, you may not know what all the fuss is about.
If you saw it on FOX News it must be true, right?
Gary Gygax, who with Dave Arneson created Dungeons & Dragons which transformed the worlds of both gaming and fantasy, died at age 69. As Steve Jackson wrote, without Gygax and Arneson, the roleplaying game industry might never have happened, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy likely wouldn't have been made.
Is Pluto a planet or not? Many astronomers are up in arms over the declaration of the International Astronomical Union that Pluto, along with a couple other heavenly bodies, are not planets. Pluto has been considered the ninth planet since its discovery in 1930, so why the change? Is it because scientists discovered that Pluto didn't fit the established definition of a planet?
