Selfish Gene, Horny Gene!

September 30, 2006

foley.jpg   Congressman from Florida (Mark Foley, R) would get a prison sentence based on the laws he himself helped to enact!! Anti child exploitation law that is!!!

From tales (and traces!!) of a Blow job in oval office to governor of New Jersey looking for and engaging in gay sex in pit stops and now a congressman, a crusader for teenage protection against sexual exploitation being caught doing just that, one wonders how low the ”moral high ground” of this country can go?!!!

Where is the outrage from Falwell and Robertson and alike? Hopefully they are not having their own chat session on the Internet!!! At last we may now know what was behind the ferocious hurricane season and god’s wrath last year in Florida!! ( I am talking on behalf of evangelists! ;-) )

Here is congressman with username Maf54 chatting to a teenage boy on Internet:

Maf54: You in your boxers, too?
Teen:   Nope, just got home. I had a college interview that went late.
Maf54: Well, strip down and get relaxed.

Another message:

Maf54: What ya wearing?
Teen:  t shirt and shorts
Maf54: Love to slip them off of you.

And this one:

Maf54: Do I make you a little horny?
Teen:   A little.
Maf54: Cool.

Obviously the language gets much more graphic, too graphic to be reported by media! 

Federal authorities say such messages could result in Foley’s prosecution.

You guessed it, a committee is investigating the allegations and the cover up!!

Mathematician says no to a Million dollars!!

Poincare conjecture solved!! 

Grigory Perelman from St. Petersburg has challenged the Creator and explained to him the ABCs of the Universe. The world has not been turned upside down, but offered Perelman the Fields Medal, often described as the “Nobel Prize of mathematics,” and a million dollars. But, surprising the world once again, the genius has turned down all worldly blessings, and retreated to his tiny apartment on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, which he shares with his mother.

My guess is that the fellow spent too much time in the 4th dimension trying to solve this problem that does know how to get back to our earthly 3 dimensional world and spend the money!! ;-)  

Here is what it’s all about: Good luck!!
