OOPS! DRUGSTORE CONFUSES SUPER GLUE WITH HEMORRHOID CREAM!
Tuesday August 30, 2005



TURNER JENSEN, a pharmacist in Skyfine, Wyo., got into a sticky spot after he confused Super Glue with hemorrhoid cream, says an E.R. physician who treated several victims.

"All over town, people were sealing their anuses shut, while school kids were crying because they couldn't make their projects stick together," says Dr. Ryan Seasee.

Delroy Montgomery, a 45-year-old rodeo rider, was one victim of the mistake.

"My 'roids were burning, and I was scheduled to ride the bucking bull," says Montgomery. "Dr. Jensen gave me the tube and I took it home and applied it liberally, hoping for that soothing relief."

When it came time for his turn at the rodeo, Montgomery mounted the bull, but quickly blacked out from anal pain. An ambulance rushed him to Our Lady Of Dripping Blood Hospital, where he joined the crowd of perplexed patients.

Mrs. Edna Dalloway was one of them. "I suffer from chronic diarrhea," says the 65-year-old librarian. "After I used the lotion Mr. Jensen gave me, I couldn't even break wind! Before I could get to the hospital my stomach blew up so big it looked like I was nine months pregnant."

Dr. Seasee examined the patients and immediately discovered the problem. He easily dissolved the glue with solvent.

The red-faced pharmacist apologized to the residents.

"I have to keep the glue behind the counter because of the kids huffing it," explains Jensen. "I'm so sorry for the mix-up."

Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.
People crave your praise and complements.

You Passed the US Citizenship Test

Congratulations - you got 8 out of 10 correct!

Friday, August 26, 2005

I am:
43%
Republican.
"Congratulations, you're a swing voter. When they say 'Soccer Mom', they mean you. Every Democratic ad on the TV set was made just for your viewing enjoyment. Don't you feel special?"

Are You A Republican?
It has been painful for me to watch the coverage about Cindy Sheehan -- the mother who is publicly grieving the death of her soldier son in Iraq. She is now publishing a blog on Ariana Huffington's left-wing gadfly website. They invited comments and I provided the following:

Cindy, it so sad to see you being castigated by the right wingers and manipulated by the leftwingers while you are grieving for the death of your son. You, nor is anyone in a position to say whether the Iraq war was justified, a lie, or whatever. History is 50 years will be the judge. You have no right to demand to meet with President Bush nor to dictate world policy "in a world according to Cindy Sheehan."

The bottom line is that your son was a patriot who heard the calling of his country not once...but twice. Would Casey be happy that you are acting as you are? I think not. In fact, I think he would be very embarrased and hurt. Rather than openly venting your grief, you need to work with a therapist and work through your obvious psychological issues.

Cindy, while you have been in the media spotlight on our TV sets for the past weeks, the fact is that you have reached the 14th minute of your 15 minutes of fame. The press is getting tired of you. The American public is getting tired of you screaming and yelling. In six months you will be an item on a CNN Year In Review program and a mere memory in the back of the public's collective mind. You need to deal with your grief. You will never get over the death of your son. A professional psychologist/psychiatrist with an emphasis in grief counseling will help you deal with your demons.

That's the way Casey would hope that you would remember him.
I'm coming to realize that there are a lot more people upset about the political correctness (read: lack of honesty) when it comes to tolerance about other cultures and their idiosyncrasies. It would almost seem that we are having to respect and kowtow to other cultures while they are allowed not to respect OUR cultures. I received this following e-mail from a friend of mine in England via Australia:

Not very PC, but . . . . . !

This is quite sensible for an Australian, don't you think? What a shame that this sort of thing isn't said in the UK too



Subject: The Right to Leave

Australia - The Right to Leave

Our Country - YOU have the right - the right to leave !

After hearing that the State of South Australia changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face covered, this prompted an editorial written by an Australian citizen published in an Australian newspaper.

Quote:

IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Australia.

However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of Australia being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Australians, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, Learn the language!

"In God We Trust" is our National Motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, Because God is part of our culture.

If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, And we really don't care how you did things where you came from.

This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE". If you aren't happy here then f#@* off! We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted. Pretty easy really, when you think about it. I figure if we all keep passing this to our friends (and enemies), it will also, sooner or later get back to the complainers, lets all try, please

No matter how many times you receive it... please forward it to all you know.

Frist Subject of Anti-Stem Cell TV Ads

By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer2 hours, 30 minutes ago

An evangelical group has begun a weeklong advertising campaign in Iowa criticizing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist for backing expanded embryonic stem cell research.

"We know Iowa is a way to get everybody's attention," said Gary Cass, head of the Florida-based Center for Reclaiming America. "Our hope is Senator Frist will hear from Iowans and they are kind of a bellwether state in the heartland."

Iowa is a critical state in the presidential nominating process and Frist is considered a potential candidate for the Republican nomination in 2008.

In the ad, which shows a photo of a smiling baby, an announcer says: "Senator Frist: we cannot save innocent lives by destroying them. Tell Senator Frist to stand with President Bush and oppose research that destroys human embryos."

Cass said the ads began airing Thursday on television stations in the Des Moines area and local radio stations around the state. The group is spending about $50,000 but could expand the campaign if more money is raised. It also sent e-mails to a national listing of 500,000 social conservatives.

Nick Smith, a spokesman for the Tennessee senator, said Frist "understands that there are many opinions on this issue and he respects those opinions. However, after long thought, he has made his decision based on principle and believes it holds great promise in helping many people."

Frist angered many social conservatives when he endorsed legislation that would provide federal funds for expanded stem cell research.

"Senator Frist made a tragic and grave error in endorsing public funding of research that destroys human life," Cass said.

It is news reports and seeing viscious diabtribe coming from the mouths of so-called "liberals" which give liberal-minded folks a bad name....

Anti-war protestors besieged wounded and disabled soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C, a new web report will claim!

CNSNews.com is planning to run an expose on Thursday featuring interviews with both protestors and veterans, as well as shots of protest signs with slogans like “Maimed for a Lie.”

The conservative outlet will post video evidence of the wounded veterans being taunted by protesters.

Turkman president bans recorded music

Aug. 23, 2005 at 4:17PM

Turkmenistan President Saparmurat Niyazov has deemed recorded music a negative influence on society and banned it from public events, TV and weddings. Niyazov has already banned opera and ballet from the former Soviet state, saying they were unnecessary, the BBC reported.
"Unfortunately, one can see on television old voiceless singers lip-synching their old songs, Niyazov told his cabinet regarding music on TV. "Don't kill talents by using lip-synching ... create our new culture." In 2001, Niyazov, the country's president for life, banned gold tooth caps, long hair and beards on young men. He has also banned car radios, closed all hospitals except those in the capital and renamed calendar months after his relatives, the BBC said.

HAVE A BAD DAY?



A great card from AVANTIPRESS!

Saturday, August 13, 2005

President Shrub is all worried about doctor shopping, but he doesn't give a damn about upholding the laws of the United States when it comes to the border with Mexico. IMPEACH HIS ASS!

President Bush signed into law a bill to create electronic monitoring programs to prevent the abuse of prescription drugs in all 50 states.

The new law creates a grant program for states to create databases and enhance existing ones in hopes of ending the practice of "doctor shopping" by drug abusers seeking multiple prescriptions. It would authorize $60 million for the program through fiscal 2010.

As sung by Rosemary Clooney
I like Latino people. I respect their deep cultural ties to So. California. I respect their heritage. Yet I don't understand who these intelligent and passionate people allow themselves to be made into blithering idiots by criticizing those who don't particularly like to see the US/Mexican being violated by illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Where is the self-esteem of these hard working people to build up their own very impoverished country rather than being an uninvited relative? I don't understand why those in Eastern Europe were able to throw off the shackles of Soviet Russian Communism and build vibrant economies, yet the Mexicans tolerate dictatorial rule favoring a few elite rich families.

We as Americans are being asked to tolerate their trespassing into our country, yet, the Mexican authorities don't exactly tolerate Americans trespassing into their country and illegally utilizing taxpayer resources. As far as I'm concerned, these groups such as the "Border Angels" are leading the Latino community down a very treacherous lie...just as the Soviet Russians lied and bled to death socially and economically their own peoples for over 70 years. Meanwhile, President Shrub (Bush) puts on his most irritating silly grin and ignores what is going on here...the first throes of a civil war.

President Shrub is one bulb-short of a 4-pack at Walmart. But the sad thing is, the Democrats have not served any better candidates with much more intelligence than President Shrub. It is all about POWER and EGO on the part of Washington DC politicians with no regard to leadership.

What's wrong with this picture?

Peter Jennings, a member of the club of venerable TV journalists died of lung cancer at age 67 yesterday evening. He didn't die of lung cancer caused by eating Tic Tacs or chewing Double Mint gum. He died of lung cancer as a direct result of smoking cigarettes. Yet, millions of people around the world still smoke cigarettes. Haven't they gotten the message that smoking cigarettes will kill you? Haven't they figured out all of their hard earned money is going straight into the pockets of bagillion dollar corporations?

Yeah, there is something wrong with this picture.

It is so fun to see the Right Wing whacked out Bible Bangers squirm! (Read the original article here)

In another development that could confound Roberts' liberal critics, the Los Angeles Times has reported that he worked behind the scenes, without charge, for gay rights activists in a 1996 case that led to a Supreme Court ruling protecting homosexuals from discrimination. Roberts, who was then in private practice, was asked to join the case by a colleague at his Washington law firm.

If I had a chance to be face-to-face with President Shrub (eh...Bush), I'd tell him he's quickly screwing up on these issues:

Stem Cell research - We know he's not the brightest electric bulb in the 4-pack, but it isn't a matter of faith but about science.

Iraq War - What are we REALLY trying to acheive?

Illegal immigration - Here Shrub is clearly vying with Mexican President Vincente Fox to be co-President, and as much as I'm concerned, is violating the oath of office he took to defend the constitution of the USA by knowingly ignoring this problem. If, heaven forbid, we were to be attacked by terrorists that came from either Mexico or Canada, I'd be the first one to call for his impeachment. Then again...we'd then have Vice-President Cheney as President and that could be even worse!
Sometimes I really understand why some people get so irritated with the lunatic fringe whacked out right wingers (who often are no better than the lunatic fringe whacked out left wingers).

I see how Shrub (Pres. Bush) is trying to repackage the whole debate on the question of whether evolution should be taught by setting forth this new term called "Intelligent Design" -- whereas he says that there are things on this earth which have been created "which were obviously too complicated to have come from evolution." Seeing how he is mucking up so many things these days evolution MUST be how his brain developed through evolution! (Click here to read more about this underhanded way to "sell" the concept of creationism to the unwitting masses from the mouths of these whacked out religious zealots.)

This all goes into the debate about stem cell research. You have these right wing whacked out Bible banger Republican politicians who are questioning scientists and trying to lead the debate whether stem cell research is viable. As someone who is directly affected by a situation by someone who probably won't be helped in time by this type of research which has produced miraculous results, I'm getting very tired of their diabtribe based on scripture rather than fact. My hat is off, however, to Dr. Bill Frist, Senate Republican Majority Leader, who is standing hand-in-hand with former FIrst Lady Mrs. Nancy Reagan now promoting the overturning of Shrub's right-wing Bible banger whacked out policies towards stem cell research. As he is quoted by the Associated Press, "It isn't just a matter of faith, it's a matter of science," Frist, a heart-lung transplant surgeon, said in a Senate speech. "The president's policy should be modified."

While these people preach and pontificate about "life" and try to take control of the debate, these same whacked out right wing Bible bangers will think nothing of blowing up women's health clinics, chaining and abusing their children all in the name of Jesus.
