CHEERS to my friend Elizabeth as she battles cancer. She is facing this challenge with grace, courage and aplomb! As she receives her treatments, she is asked scads of questions by each doctor, nurse and tech--so, she has decided it is only fair that she gets to ask them a question back--"the question of the day" may be "what was the last course you took and how does it impact your career?" There is lots of hemming and hawing going on--they are shocked! What a hoot! You go girl!! My money is on you!!!!
CHEERS to a new study that concludes chocolate may be good for you!! YAY!!!! but....
JEERS to the high yield growth of fruits and vegetables which lowers their vitamin content Yikes! Was Woody Allen right in Sleepers? Will we find out cigarettes are good for us???
JEERS to Tom Delay for oh so much, but for today for his darling little redistricting plan in Texas going before the Supremes to find out just how hoggishly partisan redistricting can be. Oink oink. Probably not as exciting for the court as having Anna Nicole Smith in the Court--wonder if the sketch artists were able to catch Thomas referring to his old copies of Playboy and drooling?
JEERS to the fact that 1 out of 3 Iraq War vets need to seek help for Mental distress Another reason for us to get out?
CHEERS to this video

JEERS to the knuckledragging, fudigelicals who are opposing a vaccination program which would prevent the human papilloma virus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer. They feel innoculating 12-13 year old girls would "send the wrong message" Leading this fight? The Family Research Council--naturally! You could get HPV from your husband and still lead a virtuous life! What about rape? Stupid, sex-obsessed, idiot, asshats! see sojo.com for the full story.
JEERS to lil Sammy "Mommy is so Proud I Write Thank yous" Alito for writing a fond thank you note to James Dobson--doesn't this nightmare ever end?
JEERS to suicide bombers
JEERS to lying Presnits, there is a video that shows he was warned about Katrina--but the WH says "not to make too much of it"--what? maybe he wasn't listening??
