Can somebody...can anybody...who can get to O'Reilly, smack that ignoramous upside the face! What an arrogant baffoon! He's got Gallagher and Tammy Bruce on there right now and is as much as implying that the people just don't like Obama, and neither Tammy or Mike are doing anything to point out the dishonesty in BOR's position. That all the opposition to him is because they just don't him! What an asshole! It has nothing to do with "liking" or "disliking" him; but everything to do with the commie/marxist/closet muzzie/ anti-American that the man demonstrates to be on a daily basis!...

Okay...if I'm off-base, then flame me. But DH and I are fuming this evening to come home from work to learn that Fox News spent the 6-7 PM NEWS hour with Shep Smith crying over Michael Jackson. UN-FRICKIN-BELIEVABLE! There is so much crap going on in this country, the world, the economy, 10% unemployment, Congress/Obama getting ready to shove cap-n-trade down our throats, he and the big-she having a laeuiu at the Whie House...what in the hell is going on! The whole damn world is in fire! I'm so ticked off to not hear the Bret Baer news hour....what a...

By Clive Cookson, Science Editor Published: August 31 2005 18:46 | Last updated: August 31 2005 18:46 The first detailed genetic comparison between humans and chimpanzees shows that 96 per cent of the DNA sequence is identical in the two species. But there are significant differences, particularly in genes relating to sexual reproduction, brain development, immunity and the sense of smell. An international scientific consortium publishes the genome of the chimpanzee, the animal most closely related to homo sapiens on Thursday in the journal Nature. It is the fourth mammal to have its full genome sequenced, after the mouse, rat...

A senior military official said yesterday that prospects "are very, very high" for the safe rescue of American missionary couple Martin and Gracia Burnham being held hostage by the Abu Sayyaf bandits for nearly 11 months now in Basilan. Gen. Teofilo de los Santos cited as basis for his prediction the surrender over the weekend of 18 suspected Abu Sayyaf members as government troops closed in on the kidnappers. "The surrender of the group points to the fact that these people are already having limited space... to escape. They are hopelessly short of foodstuff to support their day-to-day sustenance," De...

The BartCop Tax Plan How about the BartCop tax plan? $3,000 in your pocket this year alone. The self-styled "President of the United States" says the American economy is faltering (mostly because of the lack of consumer confidence in him) and that we need tax relief for all the people. "And we need to get the money to them right away," he says. Smirk's plan offers $1600 to a family of 4 making $50,000, but they don't get it for 5 years. (Notice the report on Bush's windfall for the rich won't be in until his second term.) Seeing how ...

Miracle baby Samuel Adams celebrated his first birthday on December 2, 2000. You may remember Samuel as the subject of the "most amazing photograph of the 20th century." USA Today's image of Samuel's tiny hand reaching out of his mother's womb and grasping the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner rocked the world September 1999. In August, Dr. Bruner and a team at Vanderbilt University Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, had operated on Samuel while he was still in his mother's womb to repair a spina bifida lesion on his spine.At the time, Samuel was 21 weeks old, the typical age at ...

FREEPERS! Please allow me to indulge a moment. My "60-something" year old parents, who live about 45 mins. north of Tampa, went to a BUSH/CHENEY 2000 rally yesterday afternoon. I was so tickled with their note to me that I felt it worth sharing (as written verbatim by my Dad): ----------------------------"Mom and I got to shake hands with Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush and General Schwarzkopf. Also got to say hello to retired Senator Alan Simpson. We couldn't reach his outstretched hand, but he did acknowledge our understated profession of admiration: "GIVE EM HELL AL, WE LOVE YOU!" I sure wish ...
