Deadly new cold strain

Wash your hands people, eat leafy greens and take your c's! There's a new strain of adenovirus which is a mutated version of the common cold. Typically, adenovirus causes non-deadly respiratory infections but this new variant has claimed 10 lives in the last 18 months in the US. So far those infected were as young as 12 days and as old as 62yrs old. Those with week immune systems are most susceptible to the virus so pop those C's people!

The railroad to freedom...

Economic freedom. The peninsula of Korea was separated between the communist North and the democratic South which led to the Korean war in 1950. Brothers at war, the two nations have battled it out and remained stonewalled until recent years. As a result of a three day meeting, both prime minister's agreed to run a cargo railway between the north and south to help improve N. Korea's economic development.

242 Died in Bangladesh Cyclone

Cyclone Sidr ravished Bangladesh's coastal villages and to count has claimed 242 deaths. The numbers are still coming in but fortunately after a 1970 cyclone which claimed 500,000, emergency shelters were developed.

Progress in the Middle East?

In Basra Iraq, 42 women have been murdered since July for being improperly dressed. Women who aren't dressed in strict Islamic clothing are being terrorized and hunted by Shia militias, they have even gone as far as traveling to the homes of these women and killed them in front of their children. The government sent a new police chief to the area to defuse the militia but even they are afraid. It's been 6yrs since we "liberated" Iraq but until we realize force feeding democracy to foreign nations doesn't guarantee political success, progress for civil freedoms in those countries may never happen.

All in the family

During the Blackwater congressional hearing yesterday, US State Dept. Inspector General Howard Krongard's admitted his brother worked for the private security firm and had to "recuse" himself from the hearings.
Are we really surprised a top government official has a family member on the advisory board of Blackwater. Why else would these inexperienced officials take office if there was no gain financially after their "service".

Wear your hat!

Chlamydia is at a record high here in the US reaching 1 million cases. Known as the silent disease, Chlamydia is curable but with no symptoms they usually go untreated.
Syphillis and Gonorrhea are also on the rise. So kiddies

Huntin' season?

Khiel Owens, was shot dead by police officers in Brooklyn on Monday after his mother called police because her son was off his medication and needed help. The community is outraged at another death at the hands of police officers. To make sure our anger isn't misguided I'd like to pose a question to the people:

With Policemen what other force is there but deadly force?

The average beat cop isn't a sniper. We'd love to think they are trained arms men so they should be able to "take out" the bad guy by shooting their leg, have you seen their shooting range targets? They don't practice shooting legs and arms at the range.


The real issue should be the use of automatic handguns by NYPD. Back in the 90's Ray Kelly made the case to keep the 6 shooter Smith&Wesson by pointing out the amount of cop's stray bullets hitting bystanders and the possible increase if 9mm were used. Governor Cuomo bought them anyway. Transit police chief Bratton, issued them for transit cops so it was inevitable NYPD would use them too. At that time Kelly restricted the 9mm to 10 shots and a stiffer trigger. When Bratton took over in '94 he switched to 15 shots and 1 in the chamber.


So here's my plea to Ray Kelly, let's take away the risk of "accidental" killings by officers by restricting the bullets and force needed to pull the trigger. This isn't the wild, wild west, police aren't in full on street shoot outs, there is no need for their handgun to release 3 bullets with a squeeze of the trigger.

C'mon people is it really that bad?

Hillary Clinton's jr. campaigner is accused of planting questions at an Iowa rally.
Does it really matter? I mean really people, at this point the questions and answers are redundant from all candidates, what's the big deal if they planted a question to address certain issues. At least she isn't straight jackin' votes.

Rally turns deadly in Palestine

A 3rd anniversary commemorating the death of Yassir Arafat turned deadly when Hamas soldiers open fired on crowd causing 7 deaths.

Sorry fellas... I have to rub it in!
