Bonfires of the Vanities was the best half of novel for our times. The Olympic swimmers story was the same story over again. A small incident brings the extreme elements face to face .

Ronald Reagan had everything wrong .

If the government comes to your door ….. Be afraid and grab your wallet..

he should have said...

If a billionaire comes to your door ….. Be even more afraid and grab your democracy.

Cecil has exposed a new level of human depravity. If You thought Dentist Walter Palmer was a heartless coward who deserves his own special place in hell. Your right.
Try those who run lion puppymills in Africa . Wanted older Americans with excess money and aging egos. Disneyland for Alzheimer's . They pay thousands to kill a lion cub for a reason I will never understand . Maybe someone can shame these poor old men into evolution..

Shark week off of Nantucket

Several great white sharks were spotted off of New England beaches.
How would JC handle this one? How would New England Handle this ? How would Rick Perry handle this ?

New England ,it was reported ,tagged the sharks and set up warning system to warn swimmers. Rick Perry ,use your imagination, it would probable include short range nuclear weapons, bunker buster bombs and a call to dick c.

As as famous writer is here misquoted .

Baseball is who we were,
Football is who we are
and cage fighting is who we are becoming .

WHALES WHALES WHALES

While majestic in the open sea, whales on the land can be a problem.
The one benefit from the endless GOP debates was that a few land whales were
exposed. As it turned out Newt had a whale, Santorum had a whale,
Romney has many whales.
Can you name a whale, a politically active whale?

If you think whales are not important stay tuned in 2 weeks you can watch a whale
eat a state.

Fosamax Merck.... Here we go again.

It always starts as a rumor and it always seems to be Merck
Merck has won its first 2 cases in defense of Fosamax and has
over 900 cases pending.

Study: Bone-strengthening drugs could backfire
March 10: Two small studies suggest that a small percentage of patients who use certain drugs to prevent bone loss for more than five years could be at greater risk for a rare type of hip fracture. NBC's Robert Bazell reports.

then there is a little article here and a little there.

No link between bone drug, fractures
FDA: Women taking Fosamax not at increased risk

BOSTON - U.S. regulators said they have found no link between oral bisphosphonate osteoporosis medications such as Merck & Co Inc.'s Fosamax and certain thigh bone fractures.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued its statement Wednesday following the publication of case reports of atypical subtrochanteric femur fractures — or fractures in the bone just below the hip joint — in women with osteoporosis using oral bisphosphonates.

Bush may be the worst president in history(no contest) and McCain the worst canidate in history but watch the wordsmiths,the dirty tricksers, and diebolt hiding behind the scene.
When the Bush administration unleashed the swift boaters on Kerry we
were in disbelief that the most incompetent administration in history
could do anything so well. Well, here they come again. Have you noticed
that all the networks are sounding more and more like FOX. The famous RNC talking points are starting to come out of every network every day. Obama was bludgeoned with the word "surge" from every side during his trip. See if you can find the planted articles in the press every day. This time they are taking over the outlets from the inside out.(see below)
As Goebbels knew all to well if you control the info outlets , you control
the country. If you repeat a lie long enough it will become the truth.
surge surge surge surge surge surge surge surge

The real elephant that stands in the middle of this election that no one seems to notice is the damage that the republican G.W. Bush has done to this republic and to this country.

Dateline - To Catch a Predator
In the computer world there are really two worlds the real world and the virtual world.
Computer people know the difference.
Going to work is the real world. Shooting people in war games is the virtual world.
I am afraid the Luddites on the NBC series To Catch a Predator are getting the two worlds intermixed.
With two million people in prison and counting we shouldn't start arresting people for crimes they have yet to commit.
When one liar lies to another liar on the internet it may be ugly, it may be awful and it may be disgusting. But no one should go to prison for 5 years over it..
The sheer celebrity of the show, the seriousness of the alleged crime and the process of the sting may be forcing people into seeing a crime before it really happens. Even judges are being swept up in this over righteous campaign. Should people who commit crime in the virtual world get the same punishment as those who commit crime in the real world?
The whole problem could be better handled by Google or You tube and responsible parents instead of a overstressed ham handed legal system

The Bush Legacy
When a person stands on the steps of the capitol raises his right hand and swears publicly to uphold
and defend the Constitution of the United States of America twice. Just what is he doing?
Is the constitution that hard to understand , is it badly written?. Is every lawyer in the nation
unable to read or hear? Is every law school trembling with fear. How could one person destroy
the justice department , disregard the constitution and make torture legal. To let this person walk is to destroy the constitution itself.

THE DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE IN A NO WIN BOX

Framing the election

Is America at war? If eighty percent of the people are against the war, why are we still at war?
What happened to representative government?.Chaney brags he doesn't care if anyone supports him.
Did Chaney appoint himself the king a some point?

Every time a democrat says the word "war" in congress he or she is giving support and legitimacy to the war.
