Family Circus–Take The Doctor’s License
Often with my busy schedule, I’m a few days learning the news and when I do get a chance to read the newspaper, I just scan the headlines. One headline that caught my eye yesterday was the story of the mother, Nadya Suleman, 33, who recently had eight babies and the scrutiny of the fertility doctor who helped her achieve these new brothers and sisters to her already existing six children.

The Chamber Commerce?
According to CNN’s Lou Dobbs, “The U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes a ‘Buy American’ provision in the government’s massive spending bill.” Dobbs decided to make a statement, via his CNN’s nightly show, to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce by asking on his nightly poll, “Do you believe the U.S. Chamber of Commerce should, in the interest of honesty, drop ‘U.S.’ from its title?”
When I voted at 8:23 Central Time on CNN the results were 2,810 people in favor of taking the “U.S.” out of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with only a mere 187 voting otherwise. It was a 94% landslide that the Chamber has gone too far especially when they are supported by so many American business owners and citizens. Where is their patriotism? We’re in tough times and now the Chamber of Commerce is betraying us? (more…)
Fire-Safe Cigarettes? Oxymoron?
As of Thursday, Jan. 1st, twenty-two states have enacted laws that require stores to sell cigarettes that are fire-safe and slow-burning. While I’ll be the first to tell you cigarette smoke and smoking are bad for your health, I’ll also tell you I sometimes use cigarettes, thanks to the dirty habit I picked up while serving as an active-duty soldier for the U.S. Army years ago. But now the new cigarettes are coated with an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion? A chemical found in material safety data sheets and labeled in a Group 2 status by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a carcinogenic.
In fact, before my time and more during my father’s military time when he served in the Army during the Korean War, the soldiers were provided cigarettes with their food rations while on deployments. I’m not going to rehash what’s been settled in the legal system about the tobacco company conspiracies, but I will ask you, especially if you’re a smoker, do you agree with these new “fire-safe” cigarettes?
The claim from the Coalition for Fire-Safe Cigarettes is that about 800 Americans die each year from fires caused by careless smokers. The coalition also claims that number will be reduced in half by these new cigarettes. Based on the known fact that over 50% of statistics are made up, I’m not sure how they derived those numbers, but what I’m sure about is that these laced cigarettes are probably going to produce more harm to a greater number of smokers than the harm they already incur.
Gentlemen can have sex too…
I heard it on a television show today, a female actress tells a male actor that he should be nice and be a gentleman. She was referring to the fact he tried to make a move on her, but only after she had entered his tent snooping, late at night, so he naturally thought she was there for some late night sex. Naturally he reached up from his bed, which she was hovering over as she tried to be sly and search for something, placing his arm on her body. She turned to him and told him to cut out and be a gentleman. His response, “Gentleman have sex too….”
Can you guess what movie? I’ll give you a clue, it was a horrible “B” movie with an “A-list” female actress and they were out on an archeological dig. He was a reporter from Phoenix. Ultimately the movie dealt with the discovery of a hidden Aztec tribe–it was on the Sci-Fi channel, need I say more? I dare you to figure it out…Thanks, Rolando
