Death Sentence for Pregnant Woman and More for Monday, May 4, 2009


Well, its amazing, we think. Our senior editor seems to be recovering and is almost normal. Except for a couple of abcesses in his feet. We hope he gets those treated before septicemia or gangrene sets in... We keep telling him to get medical treatment, but he has been too ill to apply for Medicaid. He says he'll just keep putting bacitracin on it...he's incredibly stubborn that way. Well, the swelling has gone down...in his right foot... He limped to our terminal today...
Of course, he has run out of food stamps again...and still cannot find suitable nor gainful employment. But, he says, look at the European Recession. Oh yeah, and the WHO has/is raising their Pandemic Alert Level to a "6". And, lets not forget about this ...

EU Urges Calm, Mexico Shuts Down and More for Thursday, April 30, 2009


Please Note: We are taking the advice of Dr. Chan of the WHO under advisement. But we are also taking the advice of the EU not to panic. (Does anybody listen to Joe Biden anyway? Gee whiz...)


And Chrysler announces bankruptcy. We have been observing that train wreck for almost 30 years! It has been a strange and terrible spectacle (to quote the late Hunter S. Thompson...) watching them roll and tumble - for decades. Most train wrecks and car wrecks grind to a halt in a relatively short time. But management and labor have done quite a job in keeping it going. But, in our humble opinion, Mitsubishi (of course, the Wikipedia reports there was some controversy over possible slave labor, gee whiz...) should have taken them over, not Fiat.
