PSA-- fresh steaming servings of OCD for everyone!
listen to Mama -- I *always* know best Reading the ridiculous argument on flu shots over at Little Tiny Hog, [I am oft amazed at the lack of science in many people's worldview...] I am reminded of one of the best flu preventatives there is:Wash your hands like you got OCD!
Wash 'em when you walk into the house! First thing!
Wash 'em every chance you get while out and about!
Try not to touch the usual places people touch the usual places people touch -- hand rails, door knobs, yanno. Pushing open a door a foot higher or lower than everyone else reduces your chances of picking up that one leedle virus that's gonna occupy your whole next three weeks. That's the whole dealio -- avoiding contact with the virus. The most common transmission vector is nose-to-hand-to-surface- [door/counter/handle] -to-hand-to-nose/eye/mouth. Don't touch stuff people have touched and fer the sake of all that is right and good -- don't touch your own face! Now I'm gonna tell ya how to wash your hands. Yeah, I know -- we all learned that in kindeegarden. This is the real deal, taught to me by a CCU nurse. They gotta be even more careful than surgical nurses as they have longer duration contact with the patient and a virus which wouldn't do any harm in a body cavity, properly transmitted, would kill a bypass patient in a heartbeat.Warm water - any kind of soap/detergent. [that anti-bacterial soap is [sing it, Penn] "Bullshit!"] Wet hands. Apply soap. Scrub. That's the ticket -- most of the benefit is derived from the mechanical action of scrubbing the viruses/bacteria/crappola from the hands. Scrub the palms, between the fingers, the backs -- everywhere. KEY: Scrub while you count 15 hippopotamuses. [not 'hippopotomi'] Count 'em slow. Dry with paper when out and clean towels at home. Do not share towels.
That's it. EZ, huh? And I guarantee you'll be significantly less at risk if you stick with it: wash about once an hour, don't touch your face, don't touch what other people touch, and close your eyes if someone sneezes [droplets in the air - in your eye - and *wham* sicko] Oh, and make your whole household do the same things. It just takes one nasty bug to spoil the party for everyone. If someone does get sick -- send 'em to the Holiday Inn for the duration. Unless it's you -- then stay home and make 'em all take care of you. Plenty of foot rubs. And home made soup. Tomorrow -- how to wash your hands in a public washroom without touching anything at all!! Hint: paper towels. Lots of paper towels. Fresh ones at every step.
Election Angst Getting to Ya, Binky?

A Clinton insider and a senior U.N. source told the wire service that the 58-year-old former president would like to be named leader of the world body when Kofi Annan's term ends early in 2006. "He definitely wants to do it," the Clinton insider said this week. "A Clinton candidacy is likely to receive overwhelming support from U.N. member states, particularly the Third World," UPI chief international correspondent Roland Flamini said. "Diplomats in Washington say Clinton would galvanize the United Nations and give an enormous boost to its prestige. But the former president's hopes hang on a crucial question that will not be addressed until after the presidential elections: Can he get the support of the U.S. government — a prerequisite for nomination? "
There had been rumors that [Clinton] would run the Third Way organization, the world Social Democratic movement he had talked of launching together with British Prime Minister Tony Blair and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
The Un is made up of 185 sovereign nations, 500 seat-holding NGOs and 3,000 "consultant" NGOs.
[Um... 'scuse me, General Custer? I think we're outnumbered.]
Who the heck are all those NGOs and what are they doing at the UN? Well, they are self-appointed groups vying for government-sized budgets and global power, claiming a pseudo-governmental legitimacy while side-stepping the accountability that is the essential requirement of legitimate government. In short, these burgeoning elements of the global New-Left are "hijacking democracy."
More at NGO Watch.org [this'll raise the hair on the back of your neck...] Ok -- We gots Kerry in the WH [bite your tongue] awaiting the Global Test results from Billy "ooo - exotic new interns" Clinton [read: 'Hillary'] at the UN, NGOs lining up at the borders, Hilldabeest waiting in the wings....

It's a sign of the times...
that I call you out whenever I get angry...
Kerry victim of Reflexive Compulsive Pandering Disorder [RCPD]
only known cures; hermitism, lobotomy, duck tapeEx-Senator John Kerry, bracing for a potential fight over election results, will not hesitate to declare victory Nov. 2 and defend it, advisers say. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he's secured the presidency. In short, the Democratic presidential candidate has a simple strategy for Nov. 3 and beyond: Do not repeat Al Gore's mistakes.
...primary among them, having Algore speak for you? What else ya gonna do, Johnny Man-'o-the-Pee-Pole?
Six so-called "SWAT teams" of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders.
Feel safer now?
"Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day," said [a staffer] ...The Kerry campaign has
recount office space in every battleground state, with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges.
Not being one to fall to the Seven P's of the FBI* -- other than that pesky lack-of-content issue. Now this is the part that has me puzzled:
While the lawyers litigate, political operatives will try to shape public perception. Their goal would be to persuade voters that Kerry has the best claim to the presidency and that Republicans are trying to steal it.
uhm... whatinhell do they want with voters at a time like that?!? The voters have already shot their wad by, well... voting. Whadda they want us to vote again?!? Ain't 10 or 12 times enough for these greedy bastards? Why doncha just waltz down to that big house on Pennsylvania Avenue, put yer size 12 Manolos up on the desk and order up a mess of caviar toast?!? Hell -- call up yer pal Arafat and have Hamas over for dindin. Why screw around with the Dog and Silky Pony show, anyway?? Coup, man, coup! Still, a fatalistic note creeps in:
On Election Day, [Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant (and recycled Gore-isto)] will head the so-called "boiler room," probably in Washington, that tracks vote counts and ensures Kerry doesn't concede too soon.
[can't be too soon for me.] Sorry Johnny Judgment -- "act as if" only works in therapy; not in politics. Evil Putz. . *Poor Prior Planning Promotes Piss Poor Performance
And where are all the Outraged Limeys™ now?
or is this okey-dokey by y'all?
dedovshchina : Russia's once mighty armed forces are a haven for sadists, with senior soldiers subjecting their junior colleagues to vicious beatings, torture, sexual violence and death threats, a report said yesterday. ...In the following months Aleksei was routinely beaten up, had his nose and teeth broken, was woken at midnight every night and forced to perform back-breaking physical exercises (sometimes in a gas mask), was threatened with death and throttled, had his paltry monthly wage of 160 roubles (£3.20) stolen, was shaven with a lighter and was regularly humiliated. ..."An army of the sick and the beaten is not going to be the most effective. Nor is an army composed of victims and abusers. It [ dedovshchina ] has created an almost universal desire not to serve. "It's stunning that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, who is so preoccupied by national security, is ignoring this practice. It's not like he doesn't know about it."
...this outfit needs to get out more. Maybe a bit of useful work in a warmer clime?

On this Three Strikes Proposition...
If you've committed a violent crimes -- twice -- and ya can't even keep it together enough not to steal pizza or t-shirt, howinhell do you expect me to buy it that you can keep it together sufficiently not to crack my skull open? Buh-bye.Tuesday, October 19, 2004
I'm beginning to view this with a jaundiced eye...
"Contrary to numerous inaccurate political and press accounts, the Sinclair stations will not be airing the documentary 'Stolen Honor' in its entirety," the Maryland-based company said in a statement. ...Sinclair said it will broadcast a program titled "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," examining allegations concerning Kerry's anti-Vietnam War activities.
[Marge Simpson voice] hnnnnnuh [/Marge voice]
Carlton Sherwood [producer of Stolen Honor] said as controversy grows over the broadcast of the film by the 62-station Sinclair Broadcasting group, he's willing to "put money" on the probability of Kerry making an attempt to apologize in order to remove the issue from the campaign. "I want him to stand up there and say, 'We lied for two-and-a-half hours to the Senate [in 1971]; I was an agent for the Viet Cong; I didn't care who I slandered, living and dead; it's all about me. This is the way I launched my political career." Instead, he expects Kerry "to pull out his little 'Band of Brothers,'" men who served with him on his two swiftboats and now support his campaign, and offer a "weepy-eyed" apology.
*adjusts green eye shade* Place your bets, gentlemen... Now here is a demonstration of real Kerry style leadership, logic and guts:
Sen. John Kerry's campaign has written a legal brief to the president of a broadcast chain that plans to air a film by his opponents, asking that the Democratic presidential nominee be given equal time. ...Sinclair has invited Kerry to appear on the program after the film is shown, but his campaign has declined.
And just when all looks darkest for Johnny WarCrimes, along come useful fools, Andrew Rappaport, "a venture capitalist," and his wife, Deborah, "a philanthropist," to offer Sinclair Broadcasting a cool $1 million to air Up the River Going Upriver, the filim made by Kerry's old buddy, George Butler. Now this is a full million above and beyond "the advertising revenue Sinclair would lose for showing the program without commercials, and any fines or penalties that might be accrued." Useful, indeed.
Oh, and you remember George Butler? He's the fella who "co-edited (with Kerry and David Thorne) The New Soldier, " the book that described in in pathological detail the whole baby-killer/Viet Nam Vet thing. He did the 'media relations' for Kerry's first congressional campaign, too, right down to taking the publicity photos.
I *do* love Americans
we kick ass, while Brits merely, well.... Americans respond to British butt-in-skis who wrote to swing state voters telling them how to vote and why, at the urging of an article in The Guardian:Consider this: stay out of American electoral politics. Unless you would like a company of U.S. Navy Seals -- Republican to a man -- to descend upon the offices of the Guardian, bag the lot of you, and transport you to Guantanamo Bay, where you can share quarters with some lonely Taliban shepherd boys.
Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-a--, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it. Texas, USA
I'm saying this as a Democrat, ...Please, please, be rational, and move slowly away from the self-defeating hubris.
Thank heavens! I was adrift in a sea of confusion and you are my beacon of hope! Feel free to respond to this email with your advice. ... Please remember, too, that I am merely an American. That means I am not very bright. It means I have no culture or sense of history. It also means that I am barely literate, so please don't use big, fancy words. Dayton, Ohio
