Another China Syndrome Looming?
2008-05-03 04:59:00 BABIES ARE DYINGIt is called Enterovirus 71 (EV71) So far a few cases have emerged in Malaysia. There are a number of cases in Singapore and quite a few in China . One of the big problems is the fact that we have no idea how serious the disease actually is. We're dealing with China, remember? To date (allegedly) 21 young children have died and around 3,000 others have come down with the intestinal virus known locally as Hand, foot, and mouth disease. (It is not related to the traditional hoof & mouth disease). The World Health Organization is worried ... More About: Syndrome
Cat Blogger Needs Help
2008-05-03 02:10:00 AUCTION FOR CAT-BLOGGER!A few weeks ago cat blogger Laura lost everything but her three wonderful kitties in a fire. Because of some absolutely asinine catch-22 she is living day by day. The great people who run the Cat Blogsphere have set up an auction for she and the kitties. They are living with Laura's parents, but need to get out on their own. I really like the cat people. They are so very kind and understanding. I don't know if I have permission to tell about one of the good deeds going on now, but let's just say ... More About: Blogger

She shouldn't even be alive, let alone walking. Maybe 13 or so years ago Deb, a letter carrier, was on the job, going through the big intersection in Seneca, SC between Highway 59 and the 123 Bypass.

WARNING: Blogger Has Fallen Off Genealogy Wagon and Can’t Quit
2008-05-02 06:39:00 THURSDAY, MAY 1It was bound to happen. I’ve been avoiding the subject for about 3 years, ignoring my genealogy addiction, completely on the wagon. Last night the worst possible thing happened. I discovered I could tinker into ancestry.com and recreate my long-lost charts online and not worry about losing them every time I have a crash. I am ashamed to say I went out on a binge last night. I stayed up until 5AM (yep, all night) working on the family tree. I now have recovered something like 99% of the files I lost ages ago.

Dems May Reap What GOP Sewed?
2008-05-02 06:32:00 HOW BAD ARE THINGS?Once again the voices of doom are declaring the GOP dead and buried. According to the most recent WSJ poll, evidently the GOP isn’t well favored by voters this year – or are they? The eternals are here. This is a poll for Registered Voters and not Likely Voters. Cindy McCain is not being treated decently by the liberal media, I think. So what if she is rich. John Kerry’s wife was worth a fortune and the liberal press ignored it. This woman, worthy of being a First Lady, is being treated horribly by liberal ...
Are Bio-fuels Ethical? a Bio-Fuel Primer
2008-05-01 21:57:00 THE GREEN DEATHThere are now endless Henny-Penny reports that the sky is falling and we are all going to die of starvation. They are “rationing” rice at Wally-World and Costco. They are rationing rice in Israel. (same way as here) Napal is cutting off exports of grain. People in underdeveloped countries are truly suffering. The question is: Are bio-fuels to blame or is it that evil global warming? Or – is all the hype political and designed to help the Dems over the Republicans?

Unfortunately, with the exception of the line-up on USA on Friday night, I really don't think there's a "traditional" cop show on network. The 1980's were the best of times.

I have long ago said the venerable Ms Noonan is not firing on all thrusters. I think this time she has basically driven over a cliff. On April 28 at the WSJ Noonan wrote: “…Main thought.

Obama Shocked, Shocked About Jeremiah Wright

Well, they got it. This adult (I don’t think he’s a ‘real’ man but a Plastic Ken) is so full of prevarications and canards, he makes Bill Clinton appear honest!

Granted the man isn't flying on all thrusters, but somehow it is just too little too late, not that it bothers me!

Chertoff Lied About BLM Report on Border Fence
2008-04-28 05:30:00 FENCE WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGEDemands are finally being made to force Michael Chertoff to either resign or be removed from his position as the Secretary of Homeland Security. It is possible the man has a track record of not telling the truth. Last September BLM officials informed Michael Chertoff that the proposed border fence would cause irreparable damage to the fragile San Pedro aquifer and the Riparian sanctuary. Evidently Chertoff LIED about the information the BLM gave to him and just went on as planned, ignoring the Constitution of the US. “…Yet when U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael ...

Tombstone had the money. They could afford things. They paid big money for things, at highly inflated rates.
