Just Say No to a Hard-On?

The (mis)use of Viagra in Brazil has spread to those young people that have no need for it, according to the government there. So now it is illegal to advertise Viagra in Brazil. Too many people getting the "benefit" of it. What's next, will use of "personal lubricant" become too widespread among those persons young enough not to need it? Do we have to make advertising that illegal too?

Cuban Ingenuity

Cubans have been under an embargo by the US for 35 or 40 years. We haven't allowed any trade with them, so they have all these Chevys and Fords from back in the '50s that they have miraculously kept running. Now, they've made a '51 Chevy truck into a motor boat. We need those guys here! What did we send them back for?

Step Back from the Fan, 'Cause the Shit's About to Hit

This is the kind of stuff that'll getcha killed.
Life After Death, What For? Isn't Once Enough?

Excellent thoughts on reincarnation. At least not everybody used to be Cleopatra!
May You Be Well...

May all beings everywhere plagued
with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending
one another.
May those who find themselves in trackless,
fearful wilderness--
the children, the aged, the unprotected--
be guarded by beneficent celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

Yellowcake?

It looks like the only uranium that wound up in Iraq is the kind we put there in the two Gulf Wars. It's not yellowcake though, it's called depleted.
Oh, yeah?

All understanding begins with our not accepting the world as it appears.

Check out these lyrics from Macy Gray.
Can You Say Carlysle Group?

It looks like the Bush administration is trying to cover up the participation of the Saudi government in the attacks of 9-11. Hmm...would the Carlysle Group have anything to do with this? Could is just be coincidence that George Sr. is on the board, along with James Baker, et al?
