How else to explain this?
ShareGirls of parents with higher levels of education were more likely to have received the HPV vaccine, known as Gardisil, but rates of vaccination declined as family income levels rose. That may be due to the rising number of wealthier parents who choose not to vaccinate their children for anything, Pruitt said.
Science strikes again.
Apparently, non-human animals can’t get polio. At all. Not even other primates. The virus only infects humans. Non-humans lack a receptor, so that the virus can’t take.
But WAIT A MINUTE — how do we experiment on animals? God help us — how can we improve human existence unless we can make every other species as sick and wretched as we are? . . . Not to worry! The biologists engineered mice that don’t have the receptor — so they can be infected with polio! Aren’t we wonderful?
What’s even more fascinating is that there is a vaccine for polio — and they’re STILL experimenting! All that grant money. Gotta love it.
ShareThe National Wildlife Federation has a Facebook “cause.” They are soliciting money to address the oil situation in the Gulf.
What are they going to do — wad up the cash and stuff it in the gusher?
I’m sick to death of these organizations capitalizing on tragedies to ask for money. HSUS and PETA are the worst, but they all do it. It’s so easy to just throw money at something — and then you feel good about it. “Hey, I have a CAUSE.”
ShareI just read this: ”Louisiana law is clear that domestic animals are considered corporeal moveable property.”
This was in a case where a family boarded five cats at a New Orleans vet; a vet tech mistakenly switched tags; one of the cats was released to the wrong client; and the cat escaped from that client’s house, never to be found. Lawsuit for emotional distress — duh. The family won, got $800.
Smith v. University Animal Clinic (La.App. 3 Cir., 2/10/10.)
ShareGod the Father:
Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature, so they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.
God the Holy Spirit:
Are you sure? Take a look into the future. These morons are losers. They couldn’t take care of a pet rock without killing it.
God the Son:
Yeah. I can’t even believe you’re going to make me BE one of them. And DIE for them? Do you know how many creatures will already DIE for them?
God the Father:
Relax. It’ll be fine. You never think my ideas are going to work. This one will work. Trust me.
And you, Junior — pipe down, or you’ll be banished to Ceti Alpha VI again.
God the Holy Spirit:
ShareThat’s it. I’m outta here. Later. Call me after the asteroid hits them. I’ll help clean up, and maybe you’ll listen to ME for a change.

At last.
ShareI’m putting this here only so I don’t lose the HTML code for this. Wanna save it.
ShareI would guess Drew Brees is a moderate Republican (based on some statements he’s made about Gitmo after visiting there). If the Republicans had any sense at all, they’d be knocking on his door. He’s not old enough to be President, but he’ll be old enough in 2016. Or challenge Mary Landrieu in 2014.
I’m serious as a heart attack. I think it’s pretty clear that anybody can be president. Experience means nothing anymore as long as you surround yourself with people who know what the hell they’re doing. This guy has guts, he has leadership ability, he seems to have all the right values.
ShareFrom the well-named Blasphemy Channel (damn this is funny):
ShareWho is crazier — this guy, or the alleged christians on the street near him?
ShareI have figured him out. He is like a two-year-old, who needs constant attention. That is why he has a radio job, thinking that everybody else cares what he has to say. Look at me. I said, LOOK AT ME.
Some do look at him. Some would rather not look at him, but get a kick out of listening to him — and laughing. Like me.
So in his haste to find something in the Haiti disaster to use against President Obama, he made his idiotic comments today. You’ll find them on Media Matters. I’m not sullying up my site with his assoholic presence. But his racist and insensitive comments are an extension of his mental illness — he can’t stand the fact that he can’t control the news, that Obama has the stage, that the poor people in Haiti are controlling the news cycle. He has to put himself in the spotlight.
He forgets the fact that Bush waited a full five days to send troops to New Orleans — a U.S. city. He dares to compare this to the underwear bomber — an incident where nobody died, and the only one hurt was the would-be bomber himself. Nearly every hospital in Port au Prince is down. Medecins sans Frontieres has reported their facility was down, and many of their own people were hurt. And Obama is supposed to wait until this blowhard says it’s okay to respond?
Limbaugh is incapable of shutting the fuck up. For one week. He rakes in millions of dollars, all to disrespect people who have died, and are dying, right now. This second. Clear Channel is a bunch of wingnuts themselves, but I sure wish they’d rethink their support of him.
Yes, Rush, you’ve been to Haiti — like I’ve been to Alpha Centauri. Or maybe you passed through on your way to get a little something in the Dominican Republic?
Go to the bathroom, Sunshine. Your medicine cabinet is calling.
