is this the future...
of healthcare in Amerika?

When the President of the United States holds a news conference and announces that "in the event of an outbreak of Avian flu" the military might be called upon to quarantine a portion of the population, it smacks less of a "what if" statement than a warning. You don't go making statements with this sort of flip out factor attached, unless something is already brewing and you need to start easing everyone into it. The potential for this actually happening is much more frightening to me than the prospect of another terror attack. Maybe we need to start screening those who travel into the US from abroad a bit better, like China did with the SARS situation a few years ago and protect ourselves that way, rather than letting people and goods from an infected part of the world stroll in casually as they do now. That might be a better tact than isolating huge portions of our own population to control any incidents of infection. I'm beginning to sometimes wonder if King George really has our best interests in mind...

Hey, I don't want you to sit around and get bored! Let's have some fun!
Ok, now, who can spot the braying ass CBS commentator..?

Nope! Now, try again!

There ya go! Why it's Andy Rooney..!!!
Sorry, no prizes, but at least you were amused for a minute... I mean, after all, if CBS actually still pays this asshole to sit there and spout his crap, he must be amusing! Of course, CBS is the same network that brought you Dan Rather, now that I think of it...
Maybe it's time to turn ol' Andy out to pasture, too, ya think?

Is this the first Heavy Metal Administration???
First, this Metal Madness that seems to be effecting the Bush Administration took over cute little Jenna...

Party On, Dudes! Heads and Gavels will be bangin' at the Supreme Court now!

hmmm...
I was initially pissed off when reading this article in The Sun, as, once again, it seems that someone has given in to more whining of the Musilm community. Actually, I was a little more than pissed off, I was seething. Yes, that's the word - seething - until I scrolled down a bit to see that, at the bottom of the article, was an ad for the DVD version of "Kingdom of Heaven", which is full of great heathens being slaughtered by Crusaders action. I'm glad to find that at least one Brit sees the humor in it all.
As for any of the barbarians that might read this, all I can offer is this...

Here's a little piggy lovin' for you. Have a nice day.
