Bush flip-flops on 9/11 Commission
A Republican Congressman told CNN on June 27 that the “evidence is clear” that Iraq was involved in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. Although his story is a contradiction to President Bush’s 911 commission, the Congressman told reporters, “you must have looked in the wrong places.”
It isn’t clear where the Congressman got his information. But Bush’s 9/11 commission report said investigators found no evidence that any “contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship.” Read full story at CNN.

Bush spray team agenda
One of the Bush team’s new plans is to more than triple the amount of area that the BLM sprays with toxic herbicides. The new draft EIS on their new herbicide program proposes to spray nearly a MILLION ACRES per year. Now that’s management! Also they are adding four new herbicides to the approved list to help support the toxic chemical industry. Chemists RULE!
Ritalin is amphetamine for children
According to The Greater Dallas Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse:
“In clinical studies, [Ritalin] methylphenidate, like amphetamines, produce behavioral and psychological effects similar to cocaine. In simple terms, this means that the human body cannot tell the difference between cocaine, amphetamines, or Ritalin®.”

Why the Right Hates the Truth
“Why the Right Hates The Truth” was penned by Jonas Luster, author of Socialtext, in parody to another essay, “Why the Left Hates John Bolton”. Jonas’ post has apparently vanished from the web, or at least only this site and one other (wingnut) were found by a Google search for the essay. In the meantime, keep in mind why the Right loves John Bolton …
… and then, I’ll **crush** their puny heads…

Prozac is for dopers
[To the Wenatchee World, March 7, 2005] Dear Editor,
Use of drugs like Prozac and Zoloft can lead to suicidal behavior. While drug pushers continue to flood the medical establishment with their poisons, Groups like the Youth Suicide Prevention Program have started to fight back with education about the links between drugs and suicide (www.yspp.org).
CNN recently published links to an internal document, purportedly from drug manufacturer Eli Lilly [1], that appears to show they were aware 15 years ago that patients on antidepressant Prozac were more prone to hostility and attempted suicide than were patients on other antidepressants.

Pharmaceutical firms are drug pushers
[To the Wenatchee World, March 1, 2005] Dear Editor,
Thank you to Wenatchee High students for fighting suicides. Regretably, the Wenatchee World newspaper article omitted two of the key suicide warning signs posted at www.yspp.org and at Washington State Department of Health: (1) anxiety; (2) increased drug and alcohol use.

Uncategorized posting
The default category for new posts is called Uncategorized, which is the way Word Press decided it. I don’t really use Uncategorized very much (except for this post). You might also prefer to put new, uncategorized stuff in the category called Discussion, and a new category can be created to hold it when more posts appear.
