You thought 2008 was bad! The coming years will make the past one seem like a day in paradise.....and it will go downhill from there, that is the overall plan.I have been hanging out on a Christian message board, mostly reading through and commenting on some of the NWO topics, something I have followed for almost 30 years. OK so the board is a Fundamentalist one, and a mistake I made was including a link to this blog....big mistake! Seems a few were quite annoyed at my worldliness and that it wasn't a Christian blog. If it was, I would have stated it clearly. One message I got was "you are very clever with words, so is Sat...

Something is up with Gay Guide Toronto these days, and my site is not being updated there anymore. There is more to it than that, but I am unable to share hearsay, and eventually I will get a chance to get the complete low-down. Here’s a photo demonstrating, just as Nanny 911 has said many times, the children will pick up your habits. This just proves I’m such a bad role model that already Hildy is re-enacting scenes out of Fallen Angel 4, at such a wee age.

Rep. Stark: No health reform vote in early ’09 By Jeffrey Young Posted: 12/17/08 03:05 PM [ET] Votes on legislation to enact comprehensive national health reform might have to wait until early 2010, the Democratic chairman of a powerful House subcommittee said Wednesday. Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.), who chairs the Ways and Means Committee’s health subcommittee, said Congress is likely to take a slower approach on healthcare reform. He said lawmakers have too many pressing priorities on the economy and other smaller-scale healthcare issues to move quickly on a large healthcare bill next year, as reform activists have ad...

Every or every other Christmas, I search the Earth high and low for a holiday sweater that captures the essence of the spirited season. In the past, I've gone with the traditionally gaudy sweater vest, but this year, I took a risk and opted to go with sleeves. Hope you approve of this year's selection, and that you are having a safe and happy holiday season! Positively Yours, Shawn

The other shoeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
By now the entire world has seen our beloved emperor dodging the attempt of a shoe terrorist. Much of the world laughed or applauded, perhaps there were hoots, hollers and applause from Heaven itself. When I viewed the news footage of the fateful event, Dubya still had that perennial smirk in his face as if to say, "ha ha, ya missed, loser." The shoe event will reverberate around the world and may find it's way into future history books. But in his own mind Meester Boosh has done nothing wrong. So what if we're in the verge of a second great depression, so what if were are mired down in an untenable war or questionable cau...

It all began with a 1994 study that showed antiretrovirals given to HIV-positive pregnant women before and during childbirth – as well as to the child upon delivery – reduced the risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission by 50%. Next were the post-exposure prophylaxis guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 1998, recommending an antiretroviral regimen for healthcare workers after unintended HIV exposure. Then, 2006 brought exciting data gleaned from a study of monkeys who remained uninfected after repeated exposure to a HIV-like virus as a result of taking the antiretroviral drugs tenofovir...

What cuts the Republicans proposed December 15, 2008 Legislative Republicans proposed a total of $22 billion in cuts and revenues to help close California’s estimated $41.8 billion budget deficit on Monday. Of that $15.6 billion were in cuts to existing programs. Education, the state’s biggest expenditure, takes the biggest hit, with more than $10.6 billion of the cuts allocated to K-12 schools and community colleges. That would bring school funding to just about the minimum required by state law. The GOP lawmakers also proposed to eliminate funding for state transit agencies and an across-the-board 10 percent ...
