“That’s Gotta Hurt”
Daily Darwin – Darwin’s High Biker Brigade
Darwin chortles a bit as he points out the obvious – the Darwin Biker Brigade member had to have been “high” to have gotten on that tall puppy. He also recommends that you hold on to your own genomes when the rider goes for the dismount. He doesn’t want you to bust one of your ‘onliest’ nuts laughing at the result of said ‘dismount’.
Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

Beto’s Campaign Going Down The Crapper
From Breitbart, “Beto O’Rourke Campaign Claims Breitbart Reporter Ejected to Protect Black Students.”
The flailing 2020 presidential campaign of former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) claimed Wednesday that a staffer ejected Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak from a speech at Benedict College, a historically black college, to protect black students.
Oh, and speaking of “crappers”, here’s Beto’s latest ploy for relevance.
Bye, Bye Kirsten
Politico reports, “Gillibrand exits presidential race.“
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York dropped out of the presidential race Wednesday evening, pledging to help the eventual Democratic nominee beat President Donald Trump next year.
“We wanted to win this race,” Gillibrand said in a video posted on her Twitter account. “But it’s important to know when it’s not your time, and to know how you can best serve your community and country.”

Making Kids Great Again??
As reported by the American College of Pediatricians, “Research on Disciplinary Spanking is Misleading.”
In recent years, some medical organizations and many media outlets have claimed that disciplinary spanking causes emotional harm in children that predisposes them to aggressive behavior when they are older. Although parents sometimes misuse or over-use spanking, does science really show that ordinary spanking of persistently disobedient children causes irreparable harm? The answer may be found by examining the quality of the research behind this claim.
It turns out that most research against spanking uses methods so flawed that such studies would be rejected if they were being used to halt a medical procedure, such as chemotherapy for combating cancer. The anti-spanking research suffers from three major fallacies or defects that invalidate its conclusions. These flaws are evident in a recent summary of research on spanking by Dr. Elizabeth Gershoff and her colleague, Dr. Andrew Grogan-Kaylor.1 This publication is an update to Dr. Gershoff’s previous meta-analysis that summarized decades of spanking research,2 and which is the source cited most often by anti-spanking proponents.3
