Is that not a great title! But apparently the only source of the water in the dead Sea is the Jourdan river (carry me over the river Jourdan!). And Syria, Israel and Jourdan (phew! At least they are getting some of their own) are using more and more of the water before it reaches the Dead Sea. So it is drying up to the tune of 3 feet (depth) per year. But not to worry! Scientists say as it gets more dead (salty), the rate of evaporation will decrease Unt...
With thanks to Adventure Dude who showed me that I have been doing things all wrong, I bring you the latest News. Stay away from me! Yes, my Doctor has me on a low Cholesterol diet. WHat does that mean? If it tastes good and does not swim, it is off limits! No Pasta Alfredo! No Fried Chicken, no prime rib (we went to Outback over the weekend and I order the Tilapia!), no butter, no cheese, no eggs! (I dream of eggs!), no sausage, no fun! for the last month+, I ha...

Apparently, since he can no longer cheat on Hillary (you have to have a marriage to do that), Clinton has decided to cheat at golf. It kind of reminds me of the movie Mooseport. Shame Bill's Ex is not like that President's ex. But cheating playing Tiger Woods? "President Clinton rolls one in the bushes, then hits another one off the tee ... right in the middle of the fairway, hits a nice little wedge shot up there to about, I don't know, 6-7 feet. "I hit a bad pitch,...
In one of the sickest examples of refusing to accept responsibility for ones own actions, a 40 something year old lawyer has decided she had an abortion because of Bush. And then she spends the next dozen paragraphs detailing her own irresponsibility and that of her husband, plus decisions made by doctors and pharmacies - not required by law - plus decisions of the state of Virginia. Yet this all must be Bush's fault. Nowhere is there a direct link to Bush (He was never Governor o...

A student at a school in Florida kicked a teacher's aide in the shins. And for that she got jail time (in a juvenile jail - at least they did not put her in with the child molestors) and is being charged with battery and forced to take a counseling program. Ok, this is clearly a case of battery on an authority figure, so why is it under the heading of Zero Tolerance? For 2 reasons. She is only 6 years old, and she is a special ed child! And for that she is arrested? ...
If there was ever any doubt of why Tony Snow should have replaced Scott McClelland, those doubts should be put aside based upon the latest press conference. The fossil, Helen Thomas, still working even after senility has set in, started the latest rounds of questions thusly: Q Why did the President pick a man who is so contemptible of the public servants in Washington to be his Domestic Advisor -- saying, "People in Washington are morally repugnant, cheating, shifty human beings"? Why...
[Note: the link is to a subscription site. For that reason, I will quote most of the article] Yep, Virginia is still without a Budget. Why? Because the Republican controlled House of Delegates are finally learning how to be Republicans again. They have dug their heels in and stated unequivocally - NO NEW TAXES. That is in the face of opposition from the democrat governor (Ted Matthews - errr I mean Tim Kaine) and a supposed Republican controlled Senate. And...

OK, I hate Hollywood starlets and star jerks like the rest of this nation! But I am sorry. When I was a young pup, horny as hell and randy, I went to the movies. And fell in love with some eyes. The shining glittering eyes of Karen Black. Never to be a major star, but just a bit player, her eyes got me. And I was trapped! Through B movie after B movie, I followed her. Like a faithful puppy. It was the eyes! She is fading now. But to me she wi...
