A Plant That Can Eat Rats
2010-02-10 17:16:00 Scientists have discovered a flesh-eating plant so large that it can swallow and devour rats whole. They are lured into its slipper-like mouth to drown or die of exhaustion before being slowly dissolved by digestive enzymes. Natural history explorer Stewart McPherson, who runs Redfern Natural History Productions, discovered the plant during an expedition to Mount ...

Arlen Specter Bolts for the ‘rats
2009-04-28 19:03:00 Senator Arlen Specter, (U - Scotland) has made if official. He will caucus with the Democrats and seek re-electiion as a Democrat. Chris Cillizza, Washington Post: Specter To Switch Parties Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter will switch his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat and announced today that he will run in 2010 as a Democrat, according to a statement he released this morning. Specter’s decision would give Democrats a 60 seat filibuster proof majority in the Senate assuming Democrat Al Franken is eventually sworn in as the next senator from Minnesota. (Former senator Norm Coleman is appealing Franken’s victory in the state Supreme Court.) For the record, we second Michelle: Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Now Senator Scottish Law is Dirty Harry Reid’s problem. Good luck Harry. Update:(Eric) Well, look, he was never far off being a Democrat in any event, as has been widely observed.

Tea Parties have the ‘rats Nervous
2009-04-20 19:18:00 Hat tip: Instapundit Beneathy Mrs. Pelosi snide remarks about Astroturfing, the Obama administraation Homeland Security hit piece, and David Axelrod faux concern about “unhealth-y”, the Tea Parties appear to have made ‘rats, especially the congressional ones nervous, Jennifer Rubin, Commentary Magazine: Well, it seems the administration is stumped. Who knew there would be a limit to the amount Congress would be willing to tax and spend? The Congress - Democrats included - are getting nervous about raising taxes to pay for a huge new domestic agenda. When Sen. Kent Conrad cautions that we are talking about “hundreds of billions” for healthcare, one senses that there is perhaps greater distance between the Congress and the White House on spending than between the Congress and all those tea party protesters. Maybe the fact that 435 congressmen and one third of the Senate must face the public in less than two years has the legislators’ enthusias...

2009-03-06 15:01:00 There’s a rumbling below decks on the good ship Obama. Geithner’s choice as his deputy has pulled out of the running. Sanjay Gupta has also withdrawn his name as Surgeon General. Charles Freeman is about ready to give up on taking over as head of the National Intelligence Council… he of the remarkable view that ‘Tiananmen Massacre Was Justified’ that raised so much smoke a while ago. And of course, Freeman is Anti-Israel, as well. (Am I alone in finding his surname… Freeman… rather ironic? The guy has no idea of freedom, apparently… OK, we’ll get to that another time. Focus, Eric, Focus!) Captain Ed Morressy snarks: That makes … how many appointments to fail in the Greatest Transition Evah?

Humans v. Sea Lions v. Salmon: A Lose, Lose, Lose Situation
2009-03-03 02:28:00 As is so often the case, the human solution to this human-caused problem is to create a problem for someone else, either a human of less power or a nonhuman species. Humans get all mixed up about causes and solutions and justify their stinky behavior (overfishing, sea lion killing) with seemingly altruistic reasoning (feed people, save the salmon).

The Caffeine Rats
2008-11-12 13:56:00 It's a long story, but the last time I worked consistently, from 1994 to 1996, I was so damn tired all the time that I was drinking lots and lots of caffeine. I figured out all sorts of inventive ways to take it, in pills, in herbal tablets, in drinks, you name it.Then I added to ephedrine. At one point, I was taking one 30mg tablet per hour every waking hour, and my blood pressure was still 103/56. I know it doesn't make sense.After a while of this, my blood pressure started going nuts. I eventually stopped getting it checked. I would go into the doctor's office, and I would openly refuse to have my BP checked. The doctors were getting really mad and telling me I was going to die. I said, "I know," and shrugged my shoulders. We're all going to die; this is news?Every now and then I would get a reading for the Hell of it. One was like 185/107 or something. They gave me a drug called Captopril, and it seemed like it crashed the pressure down, but it also seemed like it made me ti...

Maybe BO shoud have been working the phones, Johnathan Martin: More members of the Congressional Black Caucus, whose heavily black districts include many of Obama’s most ardent supporters, opposed the bill than supported it. Few of these members are in, or will ever have, tough re-elections. Obama, it seems, could have helped deliver some of these votes if he had been more invested in the bill If Barack Obama had supported the bailout, it would have passed. Jesse Jackson Jr, would not have voted against a bill that BO supported. This bill could have been easily passed. Whether is should have passed in an altogether different question.

‘Rats propose fifty-four percent tax increase
2008-07-19 19:11:00 I paid $3.99 to gas up this morning, a bargain at recent prices, but still highway robbery. However rather than woking to lessen the pain at the pump, democrats want to increase the pain. Congressional democrates are propossing a whopping fifty-four percent increase in the federal gas tax, Fox News: WASHINGTON - The political vision of a summer gas tax holiday died a quick death in Congress, losing to a view that federal excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel - far from dropping - will have to go up if they go anywhere. Despite calls from the presidential campaign trail for a Memorial Day-to-Labor Day tax freeze, lawmakers quickly concluded - with a prod from the construction industry - that having $9 billion less to spend on highways could create a pre-election specter of thousands of lost jobs As usual, democrats are more worried about big labor, and their campaign contribution, than they are with the American driver.

PETA Has Gone To The Rats
2008-06-05 17:59:00 Protesting against Lowe’s Hardware stores policy of selling glue traps, a PETA protester dressed only in a bikini, mouse ears and a tail, laid in a simulated glue trap on the side of the road right across the street from where Lowe’s held its annual shareholders meeting: “They ensnare any small animal that crosses their path. They are absolutely indiscriminate, so mice, birds, even kittens have been caught on these. They struggle to free themselves for days until they finally starve to death,” said PETA spokesperson Cassandra Curbelo. What have we learned here today? We learned that if you build a giant glue trap, hot vegetarian women with large feet and flat tummies will lay down in it and wait for you to come home and sex them up until you run out of cheese. However, what good is sex though if the woman isn’t a meat eater?

Parents would go hungry to do this.In more recent times it has become clear that the health of the mother before and during pregnancy is paramount to the health of the newborn.Abstinence from alcohol and cigarettes should be the starting point. Foetal alcohol syndrome is a now a well-established condition.The next step is to check the mother is eating correctly and not lacking in any vitamins or minerals. This way most deficiencies, apart from those which may be genetically expressed, can be monitored and corrected.Where does this leave poor Dad...
Rats tells Ramsey: Join Everton
2008-06-05 00:00:00 As the Aaron Ramsey persuit gathers pace, former Wales and Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe believes a move to Goodison Park would be perfect for the young international.Cardiff have confirmed that Everton, Arsenal and Manchester United have all had bids of 5m accepted and that the player has been given permission to hold talks.Ratcliffe said: ''I think it's about playing first-team football.''''I think he has more of a chance at Everton of gaining that first-team experience and going that next step.''Another aspect which may help Everton's cause is the fact that Cardiff's management team is made up of two former Everton players in the form of manager Dave Jones and assistant manager Paul Wilkinson. ''I'm sure he [Jones] will tell him everything he knows about the football club and so will Paul Wilkinson,'' he added. ''There's plenty of background for him to get to know about the club from other people down there.'' ...discuss this in our forum...

The teenager, who had waited 11 months for the knee op, said: ?He said the smell didn?t represent a health risk but I was appalled. ?I asked him, ?If you were me would you have the operation?? ?He looked at me and said ?no?, so I decided there and then I wasn?t going to go ahead.
