Not Our War

I don't normally agree with Pat Buchanan. In fact, I would go so far as to say I don't think I have ever agreed with him on anything before. Then I read this: WorldNetDaily: No, this is not 'our war', and I think I have to agree.

Pretty Pills

FDA OKs pearly pigments to color pills

Why is it necessary AT ALL for pills to be pretty? I especially see no need for them to be metallic and pretty. While mica might not be deadly, I don't think I want mica in everything I eat or consume. It's a damn rock. Didn't anyone teach you not to eat rocks?

The Real Deal About Bloggers

Report Exposes the Real Deal About Bloggers

What? You mean we aren't all self-absorbed and self-promotional wanna-be-famous A-Listers? Who knew!

Denver Airport Evil

Apparently the Denver airport is evil.

I was going to do a post to debunk this kookiness, because it's easy enough to do when you have a few brain cells and eyeballs, but why bother? Crazy people remain crazy no matter what anyone says ... and at least they are entertaining (somewhat).

Have you ever seen a four-legged duck? Yeah, me neither. It's a little spooky.

Fish Powered Vehicle

Now Goldy doesn't have to sit on that shelf in her fishbowl anymore!

Feeding homeless outlawed

rFeeding homeless outlawed:

"If someone looks like he could use a meal, be warned: Giving him a sandwich in a Las Vegas park could land you in jail.

The Las Vegas City Council passed an ordinance Wednesday that bans providing food or meals to the indigent for free or a nominal fee in parks.

The measure is an attempt to stop so-called 'mobile soup kitchens' from operating in parks, where residents say they attract the homeless and render the city facilities unusable by families.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada called the ordinance blatantly unconstitutional, unenforceable and the latest attempt by the city to hide and harass the homeless instead of constructively addressing their plight."

Violent Youth

The Truth About Violent Youth and Video Games:

First off, I have absolute proof that video games are not the cause of this epidemic of youth violence in America. No, really, I do. Ready?

There is no epidemic of youth violence in America.
