HIV/AIDS has destroyed many lives. Maybe a cure is within reach this time. Seems some scientists have discovered a compound that stops the virus cold.
What I find more interesting is that this compound also kills herpes. So in essence, should this actually work in human trials you’ll probably see the 2nd sexual revolution.
I knew it would only be a matter of time. Granted it took too long and I lost too many friends to AIDS but at least it looks like a light at the end of the tunnel.
This is beyond despicable. Someone tell me, does a staff puke have the same protection that a President does? Because if not, I wish someone would meet up with Rove in a dark alley.
The Bush Administration KNOWS it did wrong in ordering the NSA wire taps. Now it’s trying to stack the deck. Of course the carrot being offered is that Bush will give money and do photo ops for the ’06 election campaigns.
Were I a Republican I’d find Bush a liability and not an asset.
Here is a guy that was once part of the Reagan administration. Even he sees the evil in this administration and in the Republican party.

This is an interesting read. Apparently Iran has been busy upgrading their MiG 29’s. Hmm, and where exactly did they get those MiG’s. More to the point, where did they get the uranium processing gear. Russia perhaps?
But then one could ask, where did Israel get F-15’s and F-16’s, or its nuclear weapons.
Sam Harris, author of “The Atheist Manifesto” has written a piece on TruthDig refuting critics who posit that morality has it’s foundation in religion. It doesn’t.
As someone who took a short path to atheism I can appreciate people who put it out there for the world to see. Unfortunately I haven’t managed to completely shuck the whole religious thing as yet, it’ll be many years before automatic responses are caught and corrected. But my belief in an unseen, unproven boogeyman is over.
That being said I find Kissing Hanks Ass and the Flying Spaghetti Monster to be as valid as the mainstream monotheistic churches.

You have to watch this since Colbert mocks Republicans so well.
I sincerely hope all of this translates to a Democratic win in 2006.
Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) was asked what he though about the President. “Well,” he said, “I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all.”
Priceless!
This is unusual. The tree next to my building is budding and it’s the beginning of February. It has been far warmer than normal this winter. Add to that all the rain we’ve gotten, along with the fact that daylight is lengthening and you can see how nature might be confused.

I scored 2.13 – according to the site I’m a “Liberal Airhead”. I’ll freely admit to being as left liberal as one can get. I like to tell people I’m just to the left of Ghandi.
Of course the point range runs to six. And I count among my friends a couple of people who might be close to 6.
At this site I’m Tony P. and as you can see, I’m in the communistic/anarchistic quadrant. BTW, all those others in the graph are either current Rhode Islanders or former Rhode Islanders. Oddly it seems those that have left Rhode Island tend to fall into the anarchistic libertarian quadrant.
It’s like listening to a one track looped recording of “There is a boogeyman in every closet and only the Republicans can handle it.”
I’ve known Rove was a dirty trickster since 1999, but I guess that the rest of the U.S. citizenry isn’t as quick on the uptake. Only took em’ five years, the highest energy and other prices, the lowest wage increases, and a quagmire to realize that Republicans aren’t what this country needs.
