Now this is more like it, exercise in a pill! If researches can't find cures for the most deadly diseases, at least they're making headway toward getting us all back into our skinny jeans without breaking a sweat. They've found two drugs which when combined mimic the effects of physical exercise.
The two drugs were developed for other reasons, one for use during coronary surgery the other was
abandoned because of toxic side effects in the original use in cholesterol related problems. No word on why the toxic effects are no longer important, other than the fact that the company had gone into full production before they had to pull them. Of course it could prove disastrous for the little guys
down the road, but mice tested phenomenally in muscle to fat ratio and endurance while on the combination, and there's little we won't chance in an effort to be too slim or too rich.
The slim, chain smoking Fran Lebowitz has the last word. If the medicine "results in better-looking people, that would be good," said comedian Fran Lebowitz. "All I have right now is a vision of slim, vain, lazy mice."
"Exercise in a pill" may give everyone slim strong sexy bods - or not
A 23-year old bouncer cut the party short for Governor Christine Gregoire who was celebrating after a day of flipping burgers at a local festival reminding people of what she looks like, apparently she should do more of it.
When Gregoire, husband, and entourage hit Hannah's bar in Olympia, the gov. was the only one without ID. Protests from staff that she was the governor fell on deaf ears. Though she'd been old enough to drink for 40 years, the 23-year old bouncer was following the letter of the law and didn't relent. First husband Mike continued the celebration while the 61-year old governor went home presumably to change the locks.
Washington is a nanny-state, though predominantly blue. The strict laws concerning sales of anything residents may put into their bodies are such that minimum wage store clerks, bouncers, and even physicians are penalized severely for an inadvertent slip. Somehow it seemed like a fitting end to her evening, though she said she was flattered to have been carded. It is well documented that there is a long standing problem with bats in the attic at the governor's mansion since Gary Locke's residency,
coincidence ? Bar bouncer turns away Wash. governor for lack of ID
Though a well thought out and delivered kick in the head to Alberto Gonzales and Monica Goodling, the story is not about these Republican individuals, but the elephant they rode in on which in itself is a foul and corrupt entity out of touch with everyone other than the rich OR bigoted. And there you have the polling disconnect between Obama and McCain. The rich and bigoted together add up to a majority of likely voters. The hope is that the Obama Campaign and the Democrats can get out enough new voters to override it.
Thankfully Jon Stewart moved out of his nice guy character and dealt with Neo Conservative Ben Wattenberg - who has a new book defending the Neo Conservative ideology and the Neo Conservative screeching that got is into the war in Iraq in the first place - as the creep he is.
Mr McStewart must also be applauded for holding fast and not crossing the line into the most dangerous area of politically incorrectness in the 21st Century. That the Neo Conservative movement, its ideology, its creation, its publishing arm, its think tanks, its spokesman, its members, its pundits and those in control of every aspect of it top to bottom are all IRISH! Shhhh....
The McKristol and McPodhretz families, McWolfowitz, McPerle, McFeith, McLibby, McBolton, McAbrams, McLeiberman, McKruthhammer, McWattenberg, McKopel and of course the entire McLikud to name just a few at the McTop of the McEmpire.
At one time walking and chewing gum was the tongue in cheek measure of coordination. The 21st century has raised the bar, perhaps far too high.
While it's good for business, reports from across the country prompted an alert from the American College of Emergency Physicians. People distracted while walking and texting have presented with varied injuries and even died from the habit of looking down at the tiny screen. A limited survey reported two deaths in California alone. A San Francisco woman was killed by a pickup truck
earlier this year when she stepped off a curb while texting, and a Bakersfield man was killed last year by a car while crossing the street and texting.
While doctors tsk away at patients who collide while texting and walking, causing them to run into other pedestrians, fall off of curbs, walk into signs, and even text while bicycling, roller blading, or worst of all...driving, they are not immune. One doctor questioned admitted once believing he was saving time by driving and texting. "We think we're multitasking, but we're not," he said admitting it was stupid. "You're focusing on one task for a split second, then focusing on another one, and with
something moving 40 miles an hour like a car, it just takes a couple of seconds to be hit. He also observed that common sense is far from common. Can I get an amen? Give homo sapiens a toy and they will use it at the peril of all.
ER Docs warn of danger in texting while walking, driving?
It's been 25 years since the feuding duo has worked together, but they've finally made up and will start their Light Up America tour starting Sept. 12 in Philadelphia.
During their original run, Marin and Chong released nine comedy albums between 1972 and 1985, were nominated for four Grammy Awards and won one. They also starred in eight feature films, almost always portraying a pair of comical stoners before they split because of creative differences and pursued other endeavors.
The two, iconic of an era yet still beloved after all of these years, failed in all other attempts to mend fences. It seems they've finally mellowed, but they're still smokin'. "We're definitely still smoking," Chong said when asked.
"I get transfusions now," quipped Marin.
"I like the taste," Chong said. "I'm old fashioned."

An enterprising scammer found a way to beat high gas prices using the good will of other motorists. It worked like a charm right up until Officer Charles Gonzalez spotted him - hood up for the third time. Conveniently near a gas station, he would implore good samaritans to give him money or buy him gas. Gonzales found four full cans of gas in the trunk, and while investigating, yet another helpful and surprised motorist rolled up with a can of gas for the Cadillac man.
So cocky was the man that he invited Gonzalez to try to start the car, claiming the starter didn't work. It immediately roared to life, revealing an added bonus,the gas guage didn't work. A quick run revealed outstanding warrants, and earned him a free ride to the police station. Not only had he been
taking advantage of people, he'd convinced them to buy the gas cans too! Rather than warning people not to help others, it merely shows there are good samaritans in Fort Worth and hopefully elsewhere. If you see me with my hood up, I assure you that I am out of gas!

It's hot and muggy in Japan, and what would go down better than a tall cool drink - of Eel. Indeed, the snake-like sea creature is considered to be a beverage mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer heat. Thinking perhaps the women are more sensible, I learned that Eel extract is also used in cookies and pies. Betty Crocker doesn't have those recipes.
Marketing of "Unagi Nobori" or "Surging Eel" has hit supermarket shelves just ahead of Japan's annual
Eel-eating season. It's the first time the beverage has been mass produced. If you ask your local market manager, perhaps he can obtain some for you! While Americans are sacrificing other animals on a grill and downing ice cold beer, Japanese are consuming Eel in various ways especially between July 24 and Aug 5th. The beverage is said to contain vitamins A,B1,B2,D and E, all in a canned fizzy yellow brew made from Eel heads and bones. Bet your favorite brew can't compete with that! What's that? I can swear I hear cries of Who Cares - ah we Ugly Americans. Forget beer, have a nice can of Eel, beat the heat the Japanese way
Dog pictured is not the culprit, he prefers riding shotgun - a good dog!
This is definitely one accident report I would be loathe to fill out and submit.
A veteran of the Seattle Police Department had served without injury for 26 years. I doubt he expected to meet his near-Waterloo Tues while flagging traffic in congested Seattle. Far from hiding, with lights flashing and traffic cones in place, in an instant he was hit by a Dodge sedan. The impact was such that he was sent rolling onto the car, then off - where the car proceeded to
roll over his legs before the female driver slammed on the brakes.
Fortunately, his severe injuries weren't life threatening. One would expect perhaps a drunk at the wheel, or an unconscious driver. Nay, the weeping woman who presumably was the driver ironically said she was en route to a Department of Licensing Office when her four-month old Pit Bull Cockie, of course, needing to check the driver's side window did the deed. "My dog started to mosey over to the window and she stepped on the wheel and made it jerk." Personally, I hope Cockie will be able to smooth things over for her in traffic court.

After a year of corruption investigations by the State of Alaska, and the Federal Justice Department a grand jury in Washington DC today indicted Republican Senator Ted Stevens for lying. Senator Stevens' son, also a Republican and Alaska's only Congressman and even more corrupt that Stevens are still under investigation and have not yet been indicted. Did I mention all concerned are Republicans?
Jon should have pressed the DRILL issue. 80% of Americans want us to drill for oil everywhere possible! And they are mad! And they vote! Pass legislation to drill everywhere or lose this election to John McCain... I'm telling ya Nanc... Do it NOW! You can always tell them to stop drilling later... The GOP just recently realized this is their only winning issue and they are going to turn the propaganda machine up to 11 on this. And they are good at what they do.
Obama! Press Conference NOW TODAY! To drill for oil everywhere. NOW! Gosh... this is just a no brainer... Everything is now related to those numbers rolling up on that pump. EVERYTHING! What is this? You think voting is relegated to only rocket scientists... And ever rocket scientist want to drill in the park! I am just amazed by this.. On America's MOST HATED LIST, "environmentalist whacko" is second only to "al Queda".
The "campus" pictured is similar to the lovely hallowed halls of many such fraudulent institutions.
I usually love irony. The brains behind the highly
profitable Spokane,WA diploma mill, trading cash for college diplomas are high school drop-outs. Somewhere they'd obviously gained an unofficial degree in fraud, now they'll be going to a "graduate school" of sorts. Dixie Ellen Randock was sentenced in early July to three years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. Her husband will get his turn in court next week.
Among the 10,000 names of people known to have selected the diploma mill as the fast track include
people working in military, government and education fields, though the numbers may prove to be much higher. I suspect there will be at least 10,000 job openings since the names were released by the DOJ and listed on The Spokesman-Review's Web site DOJ publishes names of 10,000 "graduates" of Spokane diploma mill.
Gone are the days of "Europe on $5. a day" but the internet has provided a unique new twist with benefits.

The most well known of this years ICE raids took place in Postville, Iowa in May. About 400 Guatemalans and Mexicans were arrested, jailed and deported for the crime of working hard in America without the proper paperwork. This Sunday buses with a few hundred pro immigration protesters from around the Midwest came to Postville to have their say. Bishop Jerome Hanus and Rabbi Harold Kravitz who helped organize the demonstration spoke at the gates of Agriprocessors, the nation's biggest kosher meatpacking plant. Protesters rally against immigration raid in Iowa
The signs of the protesters read:
Citizenship Yes! Deportation No!
and
United States for Immigrant and Worker Rights.
This issue of course brings out the counter demonstrations who are usually laden in patriotic garb and gadgets and angry red faces. In this case about 75 people, one of whom was Claire Jamison who came all the way from Minneapolis to let her views be known with her sign:
What Would Jesus Do? Obey the Law!
While Barack Obama is being roasted by Republicans for playing nice with those damn Frogs and Krauts on foreign soil, they laugh at he and the Democrats for losing the hearts and minds of Middle Americans like Claire Jamison, a good Christian woman who is so mud dumb stupid she doesn't even know that her religion is based upon her Jesus being executed for not obeying the law! Gosh... Dumber than mud.
And it's a sure bet that Claire - a fine example of America's intelligent voting public - is a conservative Republican (or soldier for Ron Paul), a Rush Limbaugh Dittohead, a member of the Savage Nation wears flags instead of underwear, has more guns than brains and wouldn't vote for a Black guy if it was her own father.
Ms Jamison is the cause of this great mystery concerning the polling number disconnect between Obama and McCain. She represents the so called intelligent voting public - which if it ever existed at all - fell to the wayside with the advent of cable news networks. Profit driven news gives us mostly Britney, Paris and matter of sex. News has become what we want to hear rather than what we should be hearing.
T is for Texas T is for Tennessee! A Tennessee man took his 12 gauge semi automatic shotgun to Church. As I suppose is what any good Tennessean would do. Unlike other good Tennesseans he opened fire during a children's recital killing two and wounding seven, all adults.
Jim D. Adkisson is an unemployed technical engineer with an associates degree and a biker who didn't like liberals. So he lock and loaded and went to a nearby liberal church - which are rare in Tennessee or anywhere in American for that matter - the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church to let it be known just how much he hated liberals. Which seems to be a whole lot! Church shooting: Police find manifesto in suspect’s car
I wonder what he listened to on the radio? What cable news network he watched? Whether he was a Republican or a Libertarian? Life member of the NRA? Did he have a McCain sign in his yard?
You know what the logical Texas/Tennessee answer to this is? Everyone needs must carry a gun, especially in church. Happiness is a warm gun mama...
