I’m listening to NPR this morning and hearing about the expensive and extravagant hot children’s gifts this season. Almost reading my mind, Morning Edition plays a commentary that expresses exactly what I was thinking.
Dawn Price worries that we are teaching our children that they are entitled to anything that they want and that there are so many other less fortunate children in the world who are faced with poverty, hunger, war and worse.
An interesting study that links low BMIs with miscarriages.
The AAP (American Association of Pediatrics) released a statement indicating that there are so many advertisements bombarding our children that they fear for their health.
Not mentioned in the article; what does this say about our society and the evolution of consumerism and capitalism? . . . We are now raising a generation that has been bombarded with advertisements and conditioned to be such avid consumers. How will this affect the continuing degradation of our environment and our natural resources?→ Continue reading “The AAP Speaks Out About Ads Targeting Children”

Unbelievable! Horrible! Worst thing that you could have done at this point in the campaign!
Kerry’s botched "joke" this past Monday? Nope. The fact that the Democrats cowered like spineless rats after the NeoCons went on the attack.They misssed their opportunity to take control of the final week in the campaign and remind everyone why they shouldn’t vote for the Republicans:
The completely botched war in Iraq
The Bush administration lying to the country about WMD
The Republican corruption in → Continue reading “Who should really be apologizing for the fallout of Kerry’s gaff is Democrats”
It seems that vaccine industry, members of Congress, and the CDC may have colluded to cover-up what may end up being one of the nations great medical disasters: the thimerisol-autism link.
A terrifying article about not only the danger of thimerisol laced vaccines but the cover-up by our leaders and those who we thought were looking out for our children.→ Continue reading “Possibly the Most Damaging Cover-Up in US History”
It seems that Bush’s resolve not only applies to policy but also to politicking.
This week Bush was out stumping for Republicans in Congress and is sticking to the playbook from the last two elections – national security, with a bit of tax cut talk.
I’m guessing that he hasn’t read the most recent NIE in which the 16 US intelligence agencies all agree that the war in Iraq has made the United States less safe.

06′ Suzuki GSXR 1000

2006
Suzuki 1000. This bike is perfect! It has 1000 miles and has had its
500 mile dealer service. (Expensive) It’s been adult ridden, all
wheels have always been on the ground. I use it as a cruiser/commuter.
I’m selling it because it was purchased without proper consent of
a loving wife. Apparently "do whatever the f*** you want" doesn’t mean what I thought. Call me, Steve.→ Continue reading “Hilarious Want Ad”
