You are talking to your mother about her recent stroke when Sanjay Gupta, on CNN, describes having a stroke as a result of chiropractic, while looking at an envelope from St. Joseph’s Hospital while making a shopping list ..and you write St. Joseph aspirin on your list knowing that it can help guard against stroke.
Then six weeks later the moment occurs when you would have died if you hadn’t added aspirin to your shopping list due to the point of convergence of stroke memes. And of course you don’t even realize it. It was never for your enjoyment but for the enjoyment of the universe that the irony occurred.
And that is how the universe played out a drama on the stage of itself.

Why McCain Is Out Of Touch
16 YEARS? The Lexington Project, McCain's attempt to bring a sense of urgency to our nation's energy policies, is going to take 16 years. Why Brittney Spears will be a grandmother by then!
This is unacceptable. I remember the first urban myth I ever heard only it was told to me by a girl who claimed her father was the inventor instead of a friend of her father's neighbor. The claim was that Ford had a 75 mpg engine it was hiding. It was the 70's and our tags were even. I never did understand why they didn't put that in their cars. Who wouldn't want that? Whether or not that was true, that was almost 40 years ago and we have done squat to deal with the crisis at hand and we've had 36 years.
You've had long enough. A sixteen year plan is just not going to cut it. The idea isn't to entrench your big corporate buddies in the next national handout. The idea is not to hand no-bid contracts out to anyone who supports your administration. The idea is to free ourselves from Opec. And we can do that in four not sixteen years. Kind of like the Manhattan Project and the Apollo program you are trying to compare the Lexington Project to, but not. If they had taken sixteen years, we'd be speaking German and living on Mars by now.
Where there's the will, there's the way. And it won't take sixteen years.

Is It Time To Reconsider Past Modes Of Travel?
If we didn't have to worry about lunatics with automatic weapons and shoulder based missile launchers we might find a new romance in air travel by bringing back the luxury of a bygone era. Actually? We do have the technology to keep an airship as safe as other airborn means of travel.

Note To World
Night is almost over. Dawn arrives in less than 7 months. The gas bags of our time will disappear into irrelevancy as will the pundits that fed off them. Ahmadinejad has informed the planet that he won the nuclear standoff against us. Yeah, and the Pope is straight. Nut jobs who think the Holocaust didn't happen are still allowed to drive. Preachers are still allowed tax deductions for their businesses and the rest of us have to pay taxes to support not just the leagues of Catholic nutjobs with their costumes and statues and imaginary friends, but every half cocked whack job with a collection hat to pass around and the voice to lube the transaction.
The ridiculous excuse for an American as represented by that retard in West Virginia who was just positive Obama was a muslim. We have become a country of idiots. We have a president who, after 8 years, is still calling them nukuler weapons. By the way, how do you spell nucular? The witless wonders who denigrated academics have proven just how wrong they were and how right the rest of us were.
The smartest guy on this planet just tied 80 helium balloons to his lawn chair and took a ride to the next state. Now that's good mileage.
Change is upon us.

Cruella DaVille as First Lady?
Or First Lady As Cruella DaVille?
Just wait til the press gets its finger out its collective noses and explains HER background. Talk about an elitist bitch.

Nationalize Our Energy Now
Well I've come to the conclusion that the outrageous rise in energy costs has absolutely nothing to do with supply, demand, the euro, the dollar, investors, ass hole republicans or wimpy democrats.
We are undergoing behavior modification on a national, perhaps global, scale. If it doesn't hurt we won't change our ways. "They" are making it hurt. "THEY" will make it hurt until we agree to open our coastline to offshore drilling.
I once heard it was too expensive to turn our shale oil into oil at 35.00 per gallon, it would have to be 50 or more to be profitable. Or some such craziness. Well where's the shale oil?
It is time for a revolution. It is time to nationalize our vital resources if our private sector can't manage it.

BELIEF KILLS....TRUTH WILL SET US FREE
Villagers burn woman accused of being witch
Fri, May 30 12:49 PM
BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuters) - An Indian woman accused of witchcraft was beaten, gagged and burnt to death in a remote eastern village, police said on Friday.
The woman was dragged out of her home, her hands and legs tied and taken to a crematorium where she was set on fire in front of the village which ignored her screams for help.
The incident took place in a tribal village in Orissa and occurred last week, but came to light on Thursday with the arrest of three villagers.
The victim was murdered by the husband and relatives of a neighbour whose death was blamed on her witchcraft.
Dozens of women are killed every year on suspicion of being witches or witch doctors in India, where superstition is widespread, especially in rural areas that lack an effective schooling system.

PRAYER
___________________________________________________________
I pray. But not to the arrogant, abomination that is the neolithic angry, vengeful, jealous god of the hebrews, arabs and christians. I pray not to an anthropomorphic deity that exists in the minds and literature of mankind. But I pray knowing it will be answered.
By whom? My detractors may ask and why, I respond with a question, does there need to be a named entity to listen to my prayers?
I pray because prayer works. Prayer is not cosmic email and it is not the invocation of supernatural beings. Prayer works by making me feel good. It helps alleviate suffering.
That's all it does, that's all I want it to do.
If causes and effects occur while praying that does not make the prayer a cause or an effect.

Karl Rove Finally Gets It
_____________________________________________________________
Like Puxatawney Phil, that poor little groundhog who can't even take a pee break every Feb in front of the entire country without the glare of our unholy media, it looks like Karl Rove has finally climbed out of his own asshole and seen the light.
Seen, not understood, per se. As heard on GMA this morning, Rove acknowledges that the Scott McClellan book, “What Happened” sounds like a Liberal blog. By god he finally gets it! Yes, you winking asshole, it is like we’ve been saying all along. This Administration is guilty of so many crimes that it won’t matter if our national media keep their own heads up their own and each other’s collective butts. The writers will start coming out of the woodwork. And if “What Happened” is how Bush’s own team will treat him, god help them all when the real historians get their shot.
And today, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that the House Judiciary Committee would be willing to arrest Karl Rove if the former White House official doesn't testify about his role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.
Just under 7 months until the investigations can really begin. Now that's entertainment!
