From the page: "FunnyOrDie has an amusing video in response to Kirk Cameron's crusade to hand out 50,000 copies of The Origin of Species with a creationist introduction."

Oh boo hoo! [enter sarcasm here]

The anti-gay National Organization for Marriage quietly dropped Carrie Prejean after it promoted her in the wake of her fake martyrdom in the Miss USA pageant.

What type of future awaits fake martyrs consumed in blatant hypocracies, anyway?

This is yet another example as to why I refuse to be a Potato Head.

With enemies like Palin, who needs friends?

We have us a BINGO!

From the page: "Gotta wonder.

The swine flu vaccine. Tens of thousands of doses have been paid for by the taxpayer (me) and given to the county health department.

Despite being in a high risk group for deadly complications from the disease, I cannot get one.

Why? Because I have insurance. If you are insured, you cannot get the vaccine from the health department and no private doctors have it here.

Let me repeat that based solely on the fact that I have health insurance, I am excluded from getting the vaccine (until the government allocates it to the private physicians).

Howâ€s that work? I get to pay my insurance so I actually have medical coverage. I get to pay taxes to buy vaccine for the county. And yet I can't get the vaccine.

Hrumph. How about that?

For some reason the media has been excusing the swine flu deaths with the phrase, They had underlying health conditions. They've failed to mention that those conditions need not be major to cause serious complications with the swine flu. Simple, common things like chronic allergies/sinusitis, even minor asthma, and several other conditions that are by themselves minor, but either the condition or the drugs taken to relieve symptoms make patients particularly susceptible to the H1N1 virus. Most lung conditions that result in complications from the swine flu end in a particularly gruesome death. Essentially, while intubated and on life support, you slowly drown in your own blood.

Nice.

Now that it's come out that the CDC has been vastly underreporting the H1N1 related deaths by many thousands, it makes information about the vaccine particurlarly important.

So only the uninsured can get vaccinated here.

I don't get it. I can't think of any reason to draw that line.

Perhaps they are a test group?

Food for thought."

Dano lives in the Dalla/Ft Worth area and his delimma isn't relative to Texas. Our family physicians in the surrounding areas haven't received enough flu shots for their patients, although both H1N1 and H1N1 are abundant if you're willing to stand in line along with a bazillion others in a one day affair. My physician admitted that the industry is expecting to make beaucoup bucks this year off of flu shots so that the investors are happy campers.

Normally, I get the seasonal shot but decline to have one this year. I don't care who says what about any of it. The overall means to prevent the flu is to do what Mom said when we were children.

Good luck to the rest who manage to get flu shots. I ain't mad atcha!

Yeah right sure. News at 10.

When Palin spoke to Barbara Walters about this photo granted to Runner's World Magazine, Palin had a smirk on her face when she said, "That was a wee bit sexist and degrading..." blah, blah, blah.

From the page: "Days after Carrie Prejean admitted that she participated in a sex tape and called it "the biggest mistake of my life," seven additional such videos -- all "solo performances" have surfaced starring the de-crowned beauty queen, Radar reports. -- Us Magazine
I'm just gonna say it outright, OK you guys? You ready? Here it is ... "

Mark Morford calls it publically as it as many of us see it for what it is, relgious baloney!

I'll have whatever Palin's taking. She's obviously delusional.
