A Smaller Party for the Big "O"

It appears that inaugural festivities will not be quite as large as initially expected.

The original estimates were that 4 million visitors would clot the highways and byways of Washington DC for this big party. This is only one of the factors which caused me to scuttle the trip for which I had reserved vacation days.

The Washington Post (yes, I’m actually linking them because they need the help) tells of multitudinous prospective renters who still “have room in the inn” for inaugural partyers.

Maybe if you wait until the very last minute, you can get a great rental deal. I’m suspecting that festivities at this event are far out of the reach of the average Obama supporter, however.

One of Reuters dumb headlines

Obese Americans now outweigh the merely overweight

Yep….. they intended to say that there are now more obese Americans than there are overweight Americans who are not yet obese. They needed to use the word “outnumber” instead of “outweigh”, but, being mainstream journalists, they didn’t have that simple word in their lexicon.

Instead, there’s this whacked out headline, stating that the obvious-by-definition is somehow a new occurrence.

Three cheers for Reuters!

Baby screened for breast cancer gene is born.

What this title really means is that any of this couple’s offspring who carried a gene, which is strongly associated with cancer in the father’s family, have been killed in order to eradicate the genetic characteristic from the family’s descendants. A baby without the gene was allowed to live until birth.

This is another example of curing disease by killing those humans which are potentially afflicted, while they are very young, perhaps at the embryonic or fetal stage.

Read an article which attempts to put a big happy face on this policy which required the demise of the Hippocratic Oath.

I wonder if this family understands the infectious origin of many cancers. They’ve only prevented one type.

MYSTERY SOLVED!!!


This ad from the 1930s answers a burning question from my retail pharmacy days….
Why would customers wander up and down the feminine hygiene aisle, then come up to the pharmacy counter asking for LYSOL????

Vaclav Klaus, a guy with a brain

It seems that the European Union top position migrates over to Czechoslovakia and to Vaclav Klaus, the perennially popular president of that country.

I’ve heard this guy before. He’s been featured on U.S. programs for opposing the religious concept of man made global warming, and his arguments are well researched and persuasive. So far as I know, the high priest of the global warming religion, Al Gore hasn’t been up to the challenge of debate with President Klaus.

Media acolytes of global warming-ism don’t exhibit a fondness for the Czech president as
made transparent in the Times Online.

obama and another ponzi scheme?

Remember old Norman Hsu, that democratic fundraiser who’s in trouble for a 60 million dollar ponzi scheme?

Visit here for the letter requesting a 60 day delay of his trial. Seems that the lawyers worry about the negative publicity from being mentioned in the news with Madhoff’s much bigger operation.

Also mentioned is a possible connection between Obama and Hsu.

bailout for newspapers?

A lawmaker from Connecticut, Frank Nicastro, feels that it’s the government’s job to bail out the newspapers. That’s to be expected from a guy up in the northeast. Government does it all up there.

The rest of us with more than half a brain see a huge conflict of interest in the case of government funding the press. We might as well have Pravda.

I feel that it’s our duty to boycott the portion of the media and press which is already owned by our new government, and continue to support our alternative media.
