The Science Of Kissing...

Who ever know that making out could be so complicated? I mean, for a guy all it usually takes is a decent meal or a bouquet of flowers. Women are so complicated...

From telegraph.co.uk:

Couples who share a passionate kiss this Valentine's Day will enjoy sensations of relaxation and excitement because of a complex series of chemical processes, as well as their love for their partners.

The study showed that women need more than just a kiss to experience the same chemical high as men - with additional features such as a romantic atmosphere of dimmed lights and mood music also required.

Wendy Hill, professor of psychology at Lafayette College, Pennsylvania began the research to find out why the mundane physical activity of rubbing lips can elicit such a gratifying emotional response.

Her team tested the levels of two hormones, cortisol and oxytocin, in 15 couples before and after holding hands and kissing.

They found that kissing reduced the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in both sexes. But levels of oxytocin, a hormone linked to social bonding that they expected to be boosted by kissing, only rose among the men.

The scientists have since replicated the tests in more intimate settings, to see if the less-than-alluring environment of the university health centres where the original research was carried out hampered women's hormonal surge.

The final results will be presented at the annual conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago this week.

"This study shows kissing is much more complex and causes hormonal changes and things we never thought occurred," said Prof Hill.

"We tend to think more about who we are kissing and how it feels, yet there are a lot of other things happening."

It is not clear how kissing provokes such hormonal reactions, but some scientists believe they are triggered by the exchange of pheromones – chemicals our bodies release to attract sexual partners – in the saliva.

This interaction may also have health benefits. Helen Fisher of Rutgers University, New Jersey, said: "If you share your germs with somebody, you're boosting your internal defence system."
This is not the first research to analyse the physical effects of kissing. In 2007 British scientists measured the brain and heart activity sparked by passionate kissing, but found it was less intense that the stimulation produced by eating chocolate.

Romantic love has also been shown to have a close link to neurological activity, with scans showing that it has similar effect to cocaine on our brains.

GOP October Surprise Has Arrived!!!

WASHINGTON, DC - In a shocking reversal, the Alien has switched his endorsement from Barack Obama to John McCain.

With major implications for the U.S. presidential election, political kingmaker the Alien has changed his endorsement amid furor. Both political camps are buzzing about the implications, as the Alien has correctly predicted the winning president in every election for the past 28 years.


Ongoing investigation points to Cindy McCain as being the cause for this historic shift in allegiances.

Uncovered photos suggest that in a last ditch effort to help her husband’s failing campaign, Cindy McCain seduced and then blackmailed the Alien for his endorsement.

At a recent McCain rally, inside sources say Cindy McCain disappeared with the Alien after sharing several champagnes with the notorious intergalactic lightweight. Ms. McCain’s alien-like good looks and natural blood temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit may have proved too much for him to resist as she reportedly put her cyborg husband into sleep mode and worked her charms.

This is not the first time the Alien, who sources say is no prude, has been in political “hot water.” During the 2004 election he was photographed in a hot tub with Laura Bush and Teresa Heinz Kerry. As the Alien is now married with children the release of these photos could be devastating for him.

What impact this news will have on the election has yet to be determined. Swing state voters, who will decide this election, have the highest rate of alien abductions and UFO sightings and are known to vote in accordance with supernatural forces.

Scoreboard: John McCain-13.....Barack Obama-1

I've Been To Russia A Few Times...Can I Be Secretary Of State?

Trust me, I'll be eminently more qualified that Sarah Palin on anything having to do with foreign affairs.

This is one of the worst talking points I've ever seen. It's from a recent interview with McCain:

Q: Well, you say you're sure that she has the experience, but again, I'm just asking for an example. What experience does she have in the field of national security?
McCain: Energy. She knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. She's a governor of a state where 20% of America's energy supply comes from there. And we all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue. We've got to stop sending $700 billion of American money to countries that don't like us very much. She's very well versed on that issue. And, uh, she also happens to represent, be governor of a state that's right next to Russia. She understands Russia.

And nobody questions John McCain's judgement? Good God! Now, let's ignore McCain's ridiculous assertion that Palin knows more about energy than anyone else in the good ol' US of A (I mean, really, WTF?!) and take another look at the last sentence of his statement. Apparently, because Palin is Governor of Alaska, and Alaska is separated from Russia by the Bering Strait, this somehow translates into Palin understanding Russia, and thus having national security experience. Never mind the fact that Palin has never actually been to Russia, and didn't even get her first passport until 2007! I've been unable to ascertain whether Palin took any elective courses in Russian language, history, literature, or politics at any of the four colleges she attended while pursuing a degree in communications. But this does not matter, because McCain has assured us that Palin "understands" Russia, something that very few people, whether scholars or government officials, can claim to do (in fact, it brings to mind a certain quote by Winston Churchill).

But this wasn't the first time that the McCain campaign used this talking point. Cindy McCain had this to say when George Stephanopoulos claimed that Palin had no security experience:

C. MCCAIN: You know, she — the experience that she comes from is with what she’s done in the government.

And, also, remember, Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So it’s not as if she doesn’t understand what’s at stake here.

I think my brain just exploded.

The Problem With McCain's Energy Plan...

After pimping his wife Cindy as the next potential "Miss Buffalo Chip" at the Sturgis biker rally, John McCain proceeded to lay out the following jewels of wisdom: “We’re not going to pay $4 a gallon for gas because we’re going to drill offshore, and we’re going to drill now. We’re going to drill here. We’re going to drill now!”

Johnny says let's drill everywhere and anywhere possible! Never mind that the oil companies already have leases on thousands of acres of oil-producing land that they choose not to drill (until gas goes to $7.00 a gallon), let's give them more land that they can sit on. Let's turn back the hands of time by 100 years. Interestingly enough, I found these photos online of what the USA will look like if John McCain has his way.




This is what Huntington Beach, California looked like in the 1920s. John McCain wants it to look like this again...


Maybe those windmills off Martha's Vineyard won't look so bad afterall...

McCain Respects Women

I was looking at the Sturgis schedule and noticed that you have a beauty pageant and so I encouraged Cindy to compete. I told her, with a little luck, she could be the only woman ever to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip...John McCain at the Sturgis, South Dakota Biker Week where women compete nude in front of thousands of men.

Well...McCain does think his wife is a trollop and a cunt!

John McCain On Iraq

Senator "100 years in Iraq" has given a VERY clear picture of what counts as success in Iraq and when he would allow American troops can leave Iraq:

"Success in Iraq is the establishment of a generally peaceful, stable, prosperous Democratic state, that poses no threat to its neighbors, and contributes to the defeat of terrorists. It's the advance of religious tolerance over violent radicalism. It is a level of security that allows the Iraqi authorities to govern, the average person to live a normal life, and international entities to operate."


International entities? Like Exxon-Mobil, Halliburton, KBR, and Blackwater?

Cindy & John McCain/Food Network Scandal

News is breaking that John and Cindy McCain are blaming an intern for lifting recipes from the Food Network website, crediting Cindy McCain for the recipe, and then posting them on McCain's webpage.

So if this report is true, anyone care to guess what Cindy McBudweiser's favorite recipe is?
