Don't shoot the messenger, but you can thank your lady parts for feeling sexy in red. Believe it or not, they're thought to be the subconscious reason women want to make their lips even redder with lipstick. Enter the red revolution.
In the 1920s, dark red lipstick was a popular symbol of independence. (So much better than burning a bra or paying a check!) God love Elizabeth Arden for rocking the boat and colouring our worlds with the introduction of new shades.

Women Fighting and Dying in War, Despite Combat Exclusion Policy
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7806-Women-Fighting-and-Dying-in-War-Despite-Combat-Exclusion-Policy
On June 25, 2005, Jimenez was riding in the back of a truck carrying 14 female Marines near the Iraqi hotbed of Fallujah. The all-female unit was tasked with searching and questioning Iraqi women at security checkpoints, ensuring they were not armed with explosives. Since females were not allowed to sleep at the checkpoints as their male counterparts were, every day the women would be driven to and from an American base, making them a visible target each time they hit the road. It was only a matter of time before their luck would run out, and that night, it did.
A car approached their convoy, moments before it ran straight towards the women's truck. Packed with explosives, it detonated on impact, enveloping all 14 women in a deadly fireball. Most of the women were severely burned. Two women died immediately, one later that night, in what would become the deadliest attack on servicewomen since 1991.

Jewish Worshippers, Soldiers Clash In West Bank
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7805-Jewish-Worshippers-Soldiers-Clash-In-West-Bank
The Israeli military says soldiers have forcibly removed dozens of Jewish worshippers who refused to leave a holy site inside a Palestinian city in the West Bank.
An estimated 1,600 worshippers entered the city of Nablus early Monday for nighttime prayers at a site believed to be the tomb of the biblical Joseph. The visit was coordinated with the military and Palestinian security forces.
The military says about an additional 200 Israelis went in without permission, and 50 refused to leave the tomb building early Monday. The military said soldiers removed them, arresting three.
The military criticized the Israelis for endangering themselves and the troops guarding the prayers. A Jewish worshipper at the tomb without permission was killed by a Palestinian policeman on April 24.

Greece said to be readying new cuts
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7804-Greece-said-to-be-readying-new-cuts
European leaders are trying to negotiate a new bailout deal for Greece that would expand outside intervention in the country’s finances, the Financial Times reported late Sunday.
Citing people involved in the talks, the FT reported the privatization of state assets and international involvement in tax collection to be among the options being considered.
And, a Reuters report had Greece’s finance minister on Saturday denying a report in the German weekly magazine Spiegel that Greece had missed fiscal targets required to obtain its next portion of a 110 billion-euro bailout approved by the IMF and European leaders last year.
The measures are meant to reduce Greece’s budget deficit from 10.5% of gross domestic product last year to under 1% by 2015.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered on the streets in Athens on Monday, continuing a large-scale protest into a sixth day.

Self-Defense or Murder: Oklahoma Case Sparks Debate
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7803-Self-Defense-or-Murder-Oklahoma-Case-Sparks-Debate
Pharmacist Jerome Ersland sits in the courtroom as jury selection gets underway in his trial at the Oklahoma County Courthouse in Oklahoma City on May 16, 2011.
A story of crime and punishment that is dividing an Oklahoma community has now entered the online world, raising questions about what is self-defense and first-degree murder.
The debate stems from the life sentence an Oklahoma City, Okla., jury handed down to pharmacist Jerome Ersland on May 26 for a first-degree murder conviction in the killing of 16 year-old Antwun Parker.
Ersland's attorneys told jurors throughout the murder trial that their client had acted in self-defense when he shot Parker six times during an attempted robbery at his Oklahoma City pharmacy. Prosecutors, meanwhile, argued Ersland went too far.

History Salutes Civil War Sesquicentennial Anniversary With 'Gettysburg' Doc
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7802-History-Salutes-Civil-War-Sesquicentennial-Anniversary-With-Gettysburg-Doc
This Memorial Day, History launches a four-year initiative to both honor and commemorate the Civil War, which marks its sesquicentennial anniversary in 2011, with the two-hour documentary Gettysburg.
Executive-produced by Tony (Unstoppable; Man on Fire; Top Gun) and Ridley (Gladiator; Black Hawk Down; American Gangster), the feature documentary is narrated by Sam Rockwell (Conviction, Iron Man 2, The Green Mile).
Gettysburg strips away any romanticized veneer of the Civil War and presents the engagement in a new light: a visceral, terrifying experience with everything on the line. At its core, this is the story of the soldiers on the ground, not the generals who commanded from behind the frontlines. CGI and action footage place viewers in the midst of the fighting, delivering an emotional cinematic and information-packed experience, which examines turning points, technology and little-known facts about what is arguably America's greatest battle, according to History officials.

Race-Mixing For Thee, Free Association For Me
http://www.thebeerbarrel.net/showthread.php?7801-Race-Mixing-For-Thee-Free-Association-For-Me
While the world was recently rocked by news of Arnold Schwarzenegger fathering a love child with his housekeeper, comedienne Sandra Bernhard wasn't surprised.
This is because, as she claims, the former California governor once made a pass at her.
Before his Hollywood career and political run, during a time when he was only known as the reigning Mr. Olympia, Schwarzenegger approached Bernhard along Venice Beach, she claims.
"In the '70s when I moved to LA I was on the beach by Gold's Gym," Bernhard told PopEater. "I was young, skinny as a stick, staring at the ocean, dreaming of the future, and Arnold came up to me and he was hitting on me."
"I don't date Germans so nothing happened," she added.

Your antics have grown tiresome. Wake up, and arise from your blighted existence.
Your internet 'life' is a miserable failure. Just abort now and attempt to achieve something in real-life. You will thank me later.
