KicK! Making Politics Fun

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 Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

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 ?

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.  Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

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!
