Oh, So That's What Happened!


All day yesterday I felt a little nauseous. I couldn't figure out why exactly. I reckoned I had taken my "meds" on an empty stomach which can make me feel bad. I had a little to eat and began to feel better. Then later, I felt weird. That's the only word that fits - weird. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't all that good either. My stomach felt bloated and hurt like when you eat too much.

This morning I woke up and felt much better. I went downstairs, got out my pill organizer (yes, it takes a lot for me), and realized that I had taken Thursday's and today's meds yesterday. I've never done that before. I've forgotten to take them at all before, but never taken a double dose. No wonder I felt bad...Duh!

Oaxaca: Now They're Shooting at Each Other

There was a shootout yesterday in Oaxaca. It was the "radicals" against the "moderates." Isn't that always the case? A group of people comes together to achieve something, and before they accomplish it, they wind up warring with each other. Whenever the parties (APPO, Governor, Federal Gov.) come close to an agreement, radicals stir something up to short-circuit the pact. But, the radicals don't attack the opposition, they attack their own party.

It happens over and over - Sunni against Sunni, Shia against Shia, Republicans against Republicans - one side will settle for nothing less than complete humiliation of the opposition, and the other feels willing to negotiate. We sure are a strange species!

An Insult to Hitler?


Kevin Barret, an instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has a membership in the Scholars for 9/11 Truth. He believes that the US Government attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon on 9-11. He says that it follows the pattern that the Nazis carried out by the burning of the Reichstag. The Nazis had it done so that they could blame it on the Communists. Barret says it was a key to establishing the Nazi dictatorship. Many blame his of likening Bush to Hitler. His reply:

That's not comparing them as people, that's comparing the Reichstag fire to the demolition of the World Trade Center, and that's an accurate comparison that I would stand by. Hitler had a good 20 to 30 IQ points on Bush, so comparing Bush to Hitler would in many ways be an insult to Hitler.

This guy has a way with words doesn't he?

Death by Hoe

No, not ho! It's hoe, you know, like the agricultural tool. A Bulgarian woman killed one of her sons by beating him to death with a hoe back in April of 2005. The court convicted her of murder and sentenced her to 29 years in prison.

Just last month her doctors discovered that the had untreatable cancer and that she had a very short time to live. The authorities decided to release her from prison, so that she could go home and make the best of the time she had left with her husband and other son. Well, she promptly went home and beat her husband to death.

She's back in jail now awaiting trial for killing her husband. She has threatened to kill her other son, if they let her out again. That's why here in Texas we kill 'em before we let 'em out of prison.

New Cure for Hiccups


According to Francis Fesmire, the way to cure hiccups is thru anal massage. What?! In fact she has won the Ig-Nobel Prize for Medicine with her work. Doctor Fesmire had the idea of anus massage when a man came to her clinic with the hiccups. He had been afflicted with 30 hiccups per hour for the past 72 hours, and had tried all the home remedies you can think of. Looks like he didn't think of anal massage, but who would?

The doctor remembered that she had heard that anal massage could make a racing heart slow down, so she decided to try the same thing with hiccups. It worked. But, in spite of winning the Ig-Nobel she now tells patients to have sex that ends with an orgasm and the hiccup cure.

So, how do you go about getting the hiccups?
