Delusions

I'm lying in bed. Its the afternoon and I'm slipping in and out of sleep. My temperature is high, my body is aching, my tongue is hanging loose and I dribble slowly onto the pillow, causing an ever increasing damp patch.One potato, two potato, three potato, more. Yes, sir please may I have more. WHAT!!! DAMN IMPUDENCE!! NO YOU CAN'T. If you go down into the woods today...you're in for a big surpri

Today's column continues my review of Dr. Benjamin Wiker's venerable opus, "10 Books that Screwed up he World and 5 others that didn't Help" (Regnery, 2008). My critique will be of the legendary English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809-82) and his famous treatise on the origins of mankind, "The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex" (1871).ShareThis

Would America find it a shocking news revelation if a white supremacist organization had members supporting Ku Klux Klan terrorism? Would the FBI go to white supremacist political groups to fight the Ku Klux Klan, or seek white supremacist leaders to convince KKK members to change their thinking? But when it comes to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Taliban, and Jihadist organizations around

Nearly one in three children admitted to pediatric intensive care will experience delusions or hallucinations, which put them at higher risk for post-traumatic stress symptoms, according to a new study of children's experiences in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The study is believed to be the largest ever conducted on children's memories of PICU. The results confirmed the clinical experience of the study's first author, Gillian Colville, BSc, MPhil, a clinical psychologist, and underscore the need to look at this issue more closely. "I have worked for 16 years in pediatric intensive care and have seen a considerable number of children in distress, but have found that there is very little in the literature about children's experiences," said Ms. Colville. To determine whether she w

April 11, DailyMailA woman plunged to her death from her bedroom window after suffering paranoid delusions caused by a tick bite, an inquest heard.Jan Linton, 56, was bitten when she stayed on a friend's nine-acre estate in France.Within six months she was acting "very strangely" and claimed the police were "out to get her", Westminster Coroner's Court was told.It is believed she had contracted Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness which is notoriously hard to diagnose in its later stages and can cause psychosis and delusions.She died instantaneously from multiple injuries after falling three storeys from a window in her flat in West Brompton, South-West London, in January.Six months earlier she was bitten by a tick while working on land around a house owned by her friend of 20 years, Rhian

Their President makes a habit of regularly telling other countries what they "must" do. "At the same time," he said recently, "the regimes in Iran and Syria must stop supporting violence and terror in Iraq." It's especially important to him and his officials that other nations not "interfere" in situations where, as in Iraq, they are so obviously "foreigners" and have no business; no fingers, that is, are to be caught in other people's cookie jars. Their Vice President made this point strikingly in an exchange with a TV interviewer: "Q: So what message are you sending to Iran, and how tough are you prepared to get? "Vice President: I think the message that the president sent clearly is that we do not want them doing what they can to try to destabilize the situation in

Lies, Illusions, Delusions and The Truth by Manoj SharmaPeople reveal their true identity most accurately, in the lies they tell behind closed doors to themselves, more so than the lies they attempt to cover up in the publics eye.There is a state of mind present in the early stages of unconsciousness of all in all human beings; a state of mind in which we conveniently lie to ourselves to, strangely, hide the truth from ourselves. Some call this a defense mechanism, a convenient pretense and/or an artful fake. Whatever the name we accord to it, the truth is it the individual ego's attempt towards self-preservation.The individual's ego, hiding in the shadows, having convinced the host that it does not exist, does this by creating an illusion than it deems more conducive to its aims.

I have made a conscious effort these past few months to avoid calling people “ugly.” There actually are some very wonderful human beings on this Earth who just happened to end up getting the short end of the stick genetically. For that reason, I have tried to slow down when it comes to making fun [...]

A quiet morning (thankfully) on the spurious transfer rumours front although the name of Djibril Cisse turned up yesterday which is right in from the leftfield, totally unexpected. And tosh and piffle. Whilst that was going on, it seems that Liverpool are signing everyone we have been linked with, or at least Florent Malouda, Samuel Eto’o and Daniel Alves. Gosh, I’m jealous. In fact the only thing that I am envious about is the speed and decisiveness that Manchester United have acted with in this transfer window, their business being for the most part done and dusted before everyone has had a chance to pack their bags and go on holiday. That is the benefit of having a Director in place to do the deals whilst the Guv’nor puts his feet up on a beach somewhere. At this point, you could argue that we would be in the same position was DD still at the club but historically, Arsenal have never acted this quickly to do their ‘business’ before the end of May.

It is my darling husband’s birthday today. He is now 32 years old and in the prime of his life. As I like to remind him, it’s all down hill from here. (I’m supportive like that.) Today is the day where I should write loving words about the man I married, and thank his mother for getting busy oh so long ago. But I did that last year. Go read it if you need a refresher on redneck romance. This year, I’ve decided to cut the crap, eliminate the mush and get straight to the point. Happy Birthday Boo. I love you. Since Boo is out of town, I’m not really busting a gut worrying about what to buy him for his birthday or whether my bush has been trimmed or the legs stripped of the small forest that likes to grow down there. All I really have to do is remember to phone him, sound sexy and talk dirty to him and I should have it made. Got to love a birthday that easy. So, first thing this morning, before even my morning java, (when my voice is at it’s thro

Jews at the Holocaust-denier convention in Tehran? Sensationalist more than outrageous. They should have said "some fringe moonbat Jews not typically representative of Jews", but that's hard to fit in a headline, and doesn't have the same draw. BBC nitwits. Although I have to say I fell for it, and am linking it, so it had its intended effect of drawing traffic. It's just journalistic grift, and I got snookered. Next time I'll know better.The real horror in it is the propensity of fringe types of any religion to use their own scripture to prop up their kookiness when anyone knows you can make statistics or scripture serve any way you like, as with terrorists for example. There's even a passage on it in the Bible when Satan does just that. I always cringe when I even hear the word "Satan", it's so arcane a concept, so problematic, so ill-used by the same wacky gang. (Big words from the great Shaitan, I'm sure).To clarify, lest you think I draw a parallel between these anti-Zionis

From Keeba's Korner: Keeba Kornered & Kaptured in KaptivityDelusions that are forced to appear realIt is unfortunate that so many, too many fail or refuse to watch news reports. Whether it is religious reasons, lack of time or loss of interest, one might find of interest what the new laws the government has forced upon the people. While I am so sure that many are troubled with, unemployment being an all-time high since 1953 and increased oil prices since the days of slick Willie; some people may feel a need to find and adhere to other distractions. Many worried folks not knowing if they'll have a place to lay their head or where their next meal is coming from, may have tried to do something with their time and make use of current resources. (Whatever they might be). Notwithstanding, some still deciding if food and other necessities are more important than having medication or a roof over their heads. As for desires, well, they are outdated and have hence become a thing of the past;

Secretary of state Condoleezza Rice gave an interview to ABC news defending the Bush presidency. She said that the idea that the Bush presidency is one of the worst in history is "ridiculous". She said "I think generations pretty soon are going to start to thank this president for what he's done." Then she announced that the Easter Bunny is doing it with the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus has Tivo
