Whitney Houston dead at 48!
Here's my question... why would they say that the Flexeril and Benadryl didn't contribute to her death? to me, it seems that those things could VERY much contribute to her passing out in the tub and hence, the accidental drowning. I did not know that cocaine caused thickening of the coronary arteries. She certainly was never overweight, but smoking as heavily as she did, we all know, is a big causative factor in heart disease. I guess it's not crystal clear if she had a heart attack and lost conciousness, or simply passed out and drowned.

The Madonna Thread
Put those ciggies down! Do you know as one gets older, smokers have a much higher incidence of erectile dysfunction? I do like the video itself, and think that yes, it does look like a Madonna video. I'm just really hacked off that she put autotune on her voice.

Autotune? REALLY? Mo, you dissapoint me. when Cher did it 13 years ago it was fresh. Now it's cliche' and old as dirt.

You should see the reaction the gay nudist campground down there gets. I think when people have no money, they just find other things to pick on so they don't have to face the fact that they are a failure.

Wer'e at number 18!!! Think it's coincidence the most conservative state in the union is dead last, and the most liberal state is number one?

And when we had the gay marriage ban on the ballot back in 2004, I looked at the election results county by county. St. Louis, St. Charles, and Jackson county (St. Louis and Kansas City) defeated it handily. the county where I live, which has a university, also defeated it, but just barely (like 53-47 percent). I looked at the counties WAY down in the middle of the ozarks, Shannon, Ripley, and Carter counties... those counties passed that gay marriage ban by like 93 PERCENT. And look at this, and you see what we're dealing with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuI2LEKHGiQ

I think some is racism, some is ignorance, some is fear. Some is honest opposition of policy. I can tell you that I was working temporarily at an grocery store with all white employees (At the time of his election), and the discussions I overheard at the lunch table about Obama was quite telling. And lots of it wasn't overt "I don't want this black guy in the white house"... it was more like "Black people are ok... but running the country is too big a job for someone like that". Conservatives come in every stripe, and you may not run into the racial element in your corner of the world, therefore..it may skew your opinion as to what opinions conservatives by and large hold. And by the same token, a little town in the northwest corner of the ozarks is probably skewing MY opinion, and what I'm hearing. When you go deeper into the ozarks, the racism is much more overt. There is so much trailer trash here and all around it astounds me. Because I've grown up in a community of farmers, who are very religious, and YES... some are racist to a degree, but not trashy, cigarette smokin, beer drinkin, wife beatin traler trash. It saddens me to see that element has taken over so much of rural america.

You know, when it comes to the oil situation..... if I were Obama, you know what I would do? I would announce to the GOP and the oil companies that you can build that keystone pipeline, you can drill to your heart's content.... providing that not ONE DROP of oil harvested in this country ever LEAVES this country. I wonder what the reaction would be.

I guess nobody ever told him that the surface of Venus is over 850 degrees because there is so much carbon dioxide. But anyway... I really don't think Romney can win, and there is one GLARING reason that Santorum has made this rally, and that is because of the FEAR of religious fundamentalists that are scared of a Mormon president. Nobody speaks of this, but I can tell you that many christians, especially Baptists in the south, consider Mormonism to be a cult. You'll never see CNN say anything about this, but the whole golden plates and magic underwear thing scares the living crap out of many people. And of course, there are the animated films. I was showed this at a Baptist Church camp in 1979.... Granted, this was in Knob Noster, Missouri... but still:

The Barbra Streisand Thread
Didn't he make her cry and run off the set? Yes, so many people resented her for getting that role, for taking that role. Why the producers didn't use Carol Channing in the movie is still beyond me. I saw Michele Lee play Dolly here about 5 years ago, and she was FABULOUS!

The exodus continues! this is like a dream come true!!! Rush as now lost 2 affiliates and TWENTY FOUR sponsors! http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rush-limbaugh-sponsor-exodus-sandra-fluke-station-loss-297057

Rush Limbaugh's sponsors fleeing now stand at EIGHT! Proflowers and AOL have now fallen like dominoes. I got so MANY people who came into the store over Valentine's day and said that Proflowers sent them CRAP. No big surprise. Rush has been bloviating about it, saying he turns down millions in advertizing every year, and he will simply replace them. Yeah... replace them with the bottom feeders that he USED to turn down! LOL

Yeah... nobody remembers Taft LOL! I do say the idea of him getting stuck in the white house bathtub makes me laugh my ass off! Max... I truly don't think it would do more harm than good... and if parts DON'T work, then portions can be repealed, adjustments can be made. Medicare had to have the wrinkles ironed out at first as well. Many Republicans just don't want it because Obama sponsored it. And that's why this new crop of candidates is losing credibility with the public. They are railing against the exact thing that NIXON propsed. I know they've disowned him, but that doens't change the fact that he DID have conservative support before watergate. It doesn't negate the fact that Nixon and the conservative establishment at that time, supported the same thing they decry today. And BTW!!! Carbonite, one of Rush's biggest sponsors has just pulled the plug!!! i'm so excited I can hardly stand it... and after Rush back pedaled, and stumbled all over himself to give an apology. Too little, too late!

Yeah, Carl... Rush has lost some big sponsors over this, AND people are saying this woman has good grounds for a libel suit. Sleep Number, Quicken, and Legal Zoom have all dumped his show as sponsors. Rush has always bleated about letting private enterprise and free market dictate EVERYTHING... well.... there you go! LOL

And the problem is... the republican and tea party use abortion and social conservatism issues to keep these people voting for them, all the while screwing them in their pocketbooks. And, yes.. medication is a huge expense for many... I am VERY careful when prescribed anything, before I decide to take it. I've heard people talk to each other and say things like "Oh, I don't what i'm taking... theyr'e some green pills...." and it shocks me that people do not KNOW what medications they are taking. I'm sure my doctor will try to give me a statin... but I can tell you for sure, I will NEVER take one. In my little limited sphere, i've known of THREE people who's lives were ruined by the side effects. These are big cash cows for the drug companies.
