Many people have been asking:
"How could he not have gotten laid in THAT many years?"
I think he was lying.
I even think he may have "lied" to himself. I think it's entirely likely that he - at some point in the last 20 odd years - managed to bag a few women who were simply not up to his standards, and so he simply did not count them as having been actual sex partners.
We all know this kind of man. We see them comment here. It doesn't seem at all far fetched to assume that he just didn't see the need to bring up the 3 or 4 (or 10 or 20?) "hags" that he'd banged - because after all they were not what he WANTED - and he only talked about what he wanted - what he felt he DESERVED.
A man this obsessed with image, so enslaved to his ego - would he really admit to his cohorts that he had been slumming with women who didn't deserve him?
This guy, when not bragging about the things he had to "offer", was lamenting the things (women) which he had been "denied"; his picking up and nailing women who he then disregarded as being unworthy would do nothing to further the self indulgent "I'm-the-world's-largest-undiscovered-treasure" martyr act he had going on.
I guess what I'm trying to say is No way, Dude's a Liar: He must've banged a few fatties and he's just one of those douchebags who won't admit it - but he would certainly still whine about how he can't get any.
Ever had this convo with a buddy:
"Man I haven't had any in ages"
"What about that chick at that party?"
"Oh no way, she doesn't even count!"
(and yeah women do that shit too)

"But who's going to say, "You seem to have a really deep hatred of women, and some serious rage issues, and a ludicrously overblown sense of entitlement, and I'm guessing you'd need about a hundred years of therapy before you'll be ready for a healthy relationship"?"
C'mon. Everybody on the internet probably told him a million times. Dudes like this flat out don't believe it if you tell them. Does Brightstar believe it yet?

"The Man With No Spine" is really genius...
also in my sig.
Done!
Juiciest thing from this article is that Taitz husband is CEO of a company for which the primary customer base is the Pharmacueticals industry.

Why would she be dangerous? Why is having a belief different from someone else's, dangerous?
Don't act like you don't understand the difference between actions and beliefs. I know, you're only here to learn, and if we loved America, we'd take the time to edumacate you.

Well, she's no Ani Difranco.
How much time is wasted while men with enlarged prostates wait for their pee to appear.
With pipes. They'll respect us for it.
Will always be looked down on in a patriarchal society because it gives women power and advantage in society.
Seems like Levi is the one suffering from unfair gender stereotyping if you ask me. Why he's just a stupid skate-hunk, we're all supposed to believe, why, he doesn't even have the capacity to learn from anything, it couldn't be that he's got a genuine problem with the Palins, it couldn't be that he is concerned about their influence on his son... no no.... he's just a pretty boy fame-monger without a thought in his thick head.
It's reminiscent of the lyrics to the song "To The Teeth":
the sun is setting on the century
and we are armed to the teeth
we're all working together now
to make our lives mercifully brief
and schoolkids keep trying to teach us
what guns are all about
confuse liberty with weaponry
and watch your kids act it out
and every year now like christmas
some boy gets the milkfed suburban blues
reaches for the available arsenal
and saunters off to make the news
and the women in the middle
are learning what poor women have always known
that the edge is closer than you think
when the men bring the guns home
look at where the profits are
that's how you'll find the source
of the big lie that you and i
both know so well
in the time it takes this cultural
death wish to run it's course
they're gonna make a pretty penny
and then they're all going to hell
he said the chickens all come home to roost
yeah, malcolm forecasted this flood
are we really gonna to sleep through another century
while the rich profit off our blood?
true, it may take some doing
to see this undoing through
but in my humble opinion
here's what i suggest we do:
open fire on hollywood
open fire on MTV
open fire on NBC
and CBS and ABC
open fire on the NRA
and all the lies they told us
along the way
open fire on each weapons manufacturer
while he's giving head
to some republican senator
and if i hear one more time
about a fool's right
to his tools of rage
i'm gonna take all my friends
and i'm gonna move to canada
and we're gonna die of old age

Someday we may live in a world where "The Times" can do a story on women filmmakers that doesn’t reference, in its first sentence, what they’re wearing. But to do so would mean that how a woman looks or dresses or strips isn’t important – and that doesn’t feel like much of a victory for anybody
wait... wut? Sigh, seems like some feminists can't reconcile their hate for strippers with their love of female strength.
