Advice for Post-Terror Living from WhiteHouse.org : Five America-tested tips on how to make the coming months and years of post-terror living as productive and meaningful as possible: 1. Rally behind your suddenly non-poodly leader, and DO NOT QUESTION HIM. 2. Refrain from any and all analysis of events which are more complex than "THEY HATE FREEDOM." 3. Turn in droves to jingoistic, Rupert Murdoch-owned media outlets. 4. Smother your funny-looking Rovers and MGs and Minis with plenty of "We Will Not Forget" and "I Support..." ribbons. 5. Thirst for the blood of the oil-hoarding sand heathens.
White House Embraces Culture of Death The White House calls it an "Easter Egg Roll." We see potentially viable chickens. How come Congress hasn't called an emergency special session to protect the life of Eggland's best? A tip of the hat to Wonkette.com .
Bush vs Bush – The Hypocrisy Continued In 1999, Governor George W. Bush signed the “Texas Futile Care Law,” which allowed hospitals to withdraw life support from patients, over the objections of the family, if they consider the treatment to be nonbeneficial. Sun Hudson, a six-month-old boy with a fatal congenital disease, died Thursday after a Texas hospital, over his mother's objections, withdrew his feeding tube. The child was apparently certain to die, but was conscious. The hospital simply decided that it had better things to do than keeping the child alive, and the Texas courts upheld that decision after the penniless mother failed, during the 10-day window provided for by Texas law, to find another institution willing to take the child . Today, the family of Spiro Nikolouzos is fighting to keep the St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital from turning off his life support. This 68-year-old grandfather is kept alive by a ventilator, a feeding tube, and an emergency appeals court ord

Happy V.D.! In the spirit of the Hallmark holidays, here's a little graphic to share some "VD" with the ones you love. I found this image at a website that digitized every single MAD magazine cover . It's worth noting that this is a Kelly Freas cover, not to be confused with Norman Mingo. When Freas died last month, a lot of mainstream media sources were posting Mingo art, stating that Freas was best known for painting Alfred E. Neuman, but they didn't even bother to show his work. They could have shown his science-fiction paintings, or even that Queen album cover, but I guess it was just easier to show a generic picture of the goofy-looking kid. What's really cool about this particular MAD magazine fan site is that they've documented the FBI investigation of the magazine . It's really quite an eye-opener! At least the FBI wasn't spending ALL their time investigating LOUIE LOUIE and Groucho Marx! Anyways, check it out- a great site! C
