WE ALL SCREAM "AT" ICE CREAM: MOM'S MILK??
 You're never too old for ice cream.. right? Well.. PETA argues that human breast milk should be used to make ice cream!PETA officials say a move to breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their calves on factory farms and benefit human health Forget the cows! You want to do this to women? If it's torture to you to do this to livestock, why would it be any kinder to get human women to herd together and get milked? Can't we go back to PETA's old fashioned argument of just stopping milk and dairy consumption? Ben and Jerry came to the rescue in a statement: Ben & Jerry's said: "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child." I'll stick with the cows, too... Labels: chemicals, Food, Scary, Science

SO MUCH BAD NEWS, SO LITTLE TIME
DIRE WARNINGS OVER ECONOMIC HEALTH OF NATION
KNIGHT BERNANKE/KING HENRY APPEAR BEFORE SKEPTICAL SENATEThe latest in the bad news about the economy column: A column expanding more and more, as the stock market slips by the day.. Dire warnings came from Ben Bernake and Henry Paulson on Capitol Hill today, warning that the Senate and House must vote yes on the $700 bil (try trillion) bailout plan, stating that if not dire consequences await the already fragile nation. The Senate Banking Committee appeared unlikely to give Paulson the immediate and broad power he wants, Senator Shelby commented that the Senate needs to look to some alternatives. Senators from both the Democrat and Republican parties appear to be unlikely to must rapidly in passing the bailout measure--one that will be backed up by the deep pocketed *rigggghhht* American taxpayers. In a stunning moment today, Senator Chris Dodd commented on the bailout measure: "After reading this proposal, I can only conclude that it is not only our economy that is at risk, Mr. Secretary, but our Constitution, as well".. Senator Jim Bunning said, "It’s financial socialism, and it’s un-American".. Un-American? The Constitution is at risk? Without being a financial expert, it's obvious that the measure is not free-market. It's not capitalism, but instead is trying to rescue capitalism before the greed and excessive nature of capitalism destroys itself. The Roaring 20s saw the same greed and mismanagement. .this time the federal government is trying to hedge off the second Great Depression--and .. are we teetering on the edge of this? Not to cause further rampant speculation, but the fact that the government is getting involved to such a high degree shows the extent of chaos and turmoil we are on the edge of. The bailout plan appears to be hated--by everyone--including the authors! Paulson said, "It's embarrassing to look at this, and I think it's embarrassing to the United States of America"Embarrassing for the United States of America.. But what about the Constitution? Is Treasury readying the shredders? And if you're not worried yet? Think of this: The UNITED NATIONS is calling for global leadership during bad economic times, China wants a new world currency, and Iranian president Ahmadinejad said today that America is nearing collapse.. Worried now? Think about it... Labels: Breaking news, Disgusting, Economy, Money, mortgage, recession

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO!? PRESIDENT NANCY PELOSI?
 AFP/File/Paul J. RichardsIf the electoral count is 269 to 269, Nancy Pelosi could assume the highest office in the world.. the BBC expands on the possibilities..Given the results in 2000 and 2004, when Michigan and Pennsylvania voted Democratic, it is not unreasonable to assign them to Obama, bringing him to 260, just 10 votes short of the White House. While Obama has a real chance to win in Colorado, Ohio, and Virginia, all three states have tended to vote Republican in many or most election years.
...Think about what House selection of a president would mean today. Gargantuan California would have the same single House vote in choosing the new president as sparsely populated Wyoming, even though California has about 70 times its population. The votes of the mega-states of Florida, New York, and Texas could be cancelled out by the tiny populations of Montana, Rhode Island, and South Dakota.
Furthermore, large state delegations could internally deadlock via tie votes. Some large states might be deprived even of their single vote for the presidency. Tens of millions of people could be disenfranchised in this fashion.

A tale of two VPs: Poor Joey B: Saying all the wrong things, our Sarah, just smiling for the camera
Rumors abound: Hillary will be Barack's October surprise! But that's fiction. Right? But a few Biden moments may be causing some uneasy moments in the Obama inner circle: Biden says anti-McCain ad was wrong, he said no coal plants in America, and he mentioned FDR led when the stock market crashed, impossible for several reasons.. And in Palinmania news, our Sarah appeared with world leaders for photographers, but not reporters... Labels: Biden, Campaign 2008, Election, McCain, Obama, Palin, Politics
Code red! Homeland Security can read minds!? The best intentions.. often go awry
 Science fiction got boring. Reality is scary. According to FOX NEWS there is a new federal computer program called MALINTENT. It's the 'brain child' (not pun intended?) of the Human Factors Division of Homeland Security .. and according to the designers and reporters that are quietly spreading the story, the program searches a human body for clues that could predict a terror attack. The miracle of technology: But this is no polygraph test. Subjects do not get hooked up or strapped down for a careful reading; those sensors do all the work without any actual physical contact. It's like an X-ray for bad intentions The best intentions of men often go awry. Perhaps the best intentions look bad. Would the Human Factors Division be able to tell the difference? The story goes on: This whole security array — the scanners and screeners who make up the mobile lab — is called "Future Attribute Screening Technology" — or FAST — because it is designed to get passengers through security in two to four minutes, and often faster.
If you're rushed or stressed, you may send out signals of anxiety, but FAST isn't fooled. It's already good enough to tell the difference between a harried traveler and a terrorist. Even if you sweat heavily by nature, FAST won't mistake you for a baddie. Feeling uneasy yet? Anyone else worried? Worried.. for me is Newspeak for damn creeped out.

 The last sunrise on summer 2008--forever a memory soon to be distant. Today is the final full day of summer, fleeting hours as the sun above isn't as warm on the earth as it was a few weeks ago.. No more fireflies in the humid summer night air.. No more smell of barbecues from distant neighbors blocks away.. no more care-free clothing.. It's fall 2008. The autumnal equinox only hours away, as fall will begin tomorrow.
