there are non-ASA NSAIDS with a more cox-2-specific profile. The
"problem" is that they all should have the Vioxx side-effects too.

They do. It is just that Vioxx got sideways of the activists. Most of
the OTC NSAIDs also have similar problems, but are studiously ignored.

Vioxx had heavy-handed marketing, and Merck shoved negative studies under
the rug until they no longer could. The other NSAIDS are not ignored in
this respect, but there is indeed not much ruckus about it. FWIW, the
exact mechanisms by which Vioxx et al do the bad stuff has not yet been
fully explained. Despite efforts by really smart people, life is still
more complicated than the sum of all known biochemical pathways. Also,
since man is not an inbred strain of a lab animal, the biological
diversity is too great to make uniform rules ...

The situation is over here is so bad that when you see a minority

So if you are a black, one legged, lesbian with a "single parent"
from a "deprived area/socio-economic background" you are guaranteed
a job just to make up the numbers/tick the boxes in some
organisation.

While waiting to board my flight at the Sky Harbor airport in
Phoenix, an itty-bitty TSA agentette tapped me on the shoulder and
asked: "Excuse me sir, but could I get you to do me a favor?"

I looked down at her, slowly shook my head, and said: "I'm sorry, I
can't. I'm married."

TSA does NOT have a sense of humor.

Anyway, speaking of "ticking off the boxes," TSA selected four
passengers for "additional random screening."

The picked me, a senior white male, a senior black male, an young
Oriental woman, and a young Hispanic male with a goatee.

Boxes ticked.

Continuing with the story, we four stood against the wall while a
different agentette prowled through the Hispanic guy's computer
(looking for bomb making recipes?). I said to him, soto voice, "You
know, you look more like a terrorist than the rest of us, so ix-nay
on any funny business!"

The computer-prowling agentette looked and admonished me by saying:
"There's no such thing as what a terrorist looks like!" To which I
responded, "There damn sure is; they're Middle Eastern males with
names like Achmed al-BoomBoom. Didn't you get the memo?"

Uh, there are blue eyed blonde female Muslims with names like
"Visnjic" you know. *And some of them also believe that blowing
themselves to Hell is the way to paradise.

That earned me another talking-to.

Oh well. Screw 'em.

That's your real problem, you didn't get to screw her.

I really don't understand the mentality that goes out of its way to
**** off cops.

This airport, Sky Harbor (and the people in it), has a reputation.

In February of 2001, right after 9/11 (while the National Guard was on the
case), a dude tried to sneak a weapon (a Ninja-Star) aboard his outbound
flight. He was pulled aside and the authorities talked strong to him!

Come to find out, he was responsible from bringing down 34 aircraft with the
loss of life of everybody aboard!

His name was Joe Foss, former governor of South Dakota, former commissioner
of the American Football League, brigader general in the National Guard,
former president of the National Rifle Association, and for 23 years, the
host of the TV program "The American Sportsman." He had just left an NRA
Board of Director's meeting in Phoenix and was on his way to the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point to deliver a guest lecture on "Patriotism."

And the destructive device that got everybody so exercised?

It was the Medal of Honor given him by Franklin Roosevelt for downing 23
Japanese aircraft during the battle of Guadacanal.

When told he could go ahead and board his plane if he discarded this
potential weapon ("In the pot, pops"), he is reported to have said: "You
have done ****ed with the wrong Marine, sonny!"

The ONLY thing that could have made this event more insane would have been
to have it happen at Joe's hometown airport in Sioux Falls. The name of that
airport is "Joe Foss Field."

Joe Foss died last year after leading a colorful life. He is missed.

for admission to the law school, the school admissions committee,
operating under the *normative* belief that it is "good" if there
blacks
in the school roughly in the same percentage as the percentage of
blacks
in the general population, will admit some low-GPA, low-LSAT blacks
while necessarily rejecting some whites and Asians who scored higher
and
are more likely to complete their degrees. This happens at
undergraduate
schools, too.

California's most excellent Proposition 209, passed overwhelmingly by
the voters in 1996, was supposed to forbid any consideration of race,
ethnicity, sex, national origin, or all the usual left-wing
identity-politics bull**** criteria, in university admissions or any

but
the left-wing racists are seeking to overturn it, and that asshole

I've never heard anyone call Dr. King a Republican but there is one

He was an outstanding young man who just happens to be buried at

The KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.
May 15, 2008 at 1:01 pm | Posted in Democrat Party, K.K.K | 18 Comments

Our nation’s top historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the
Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive
legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings,
mutilations, and intimidations (of thousands of black and white
Republicans). On the issue of slavery: historians say the Democrats gave
their lives to expand it, the Republicans gave their lives to ban it.

The Enforcement Act of 1870

(136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of
the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the
Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to
give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats
overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was
revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist
organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African
Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a
Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered
thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and
communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood,
Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North
Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such
as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the
traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed.
Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white
Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25
years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil
rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was
specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African
Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America)
has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the
Republicans have elected three.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

In a single word: Nepotism

...nepotism in the workplace

It's called racial preference (or sexual or ethnic or whatever.) It's
what the left have renamed affirmative action after that latter term
deservedly became obscene.

Note that schools don't do this because they're ordered to do it by the
government. They do it because they're in the iron grip of left-wing
"multi-culti" administrators who believe in it - who drank deeply from
the "diversity" Kool-Aid vat.

Schools have said, and courts have agreed with them, that the schools
have an "interest" in having a "diverse" student body in particular
programs at particular schools - say, the University of Michigan law
school. So, even though blacks simply don't meet the objective criteria
for admission to the law school, the school admissions committee,
operating under the *normative* belief that it is "good" if there
blacks

I've always wondered how in the hell the Democrats have pulled the wool
over the eyes of my darker skinned cousins about their true nature? Of
course, it may have something to do with their ilk gaining control over
the education of children and what is taught in government schools. I
think I remember something about one of the old main figures of
Communism saying something to the effect of give me your children for
a generation and I'll own your country. I don't remember the exact quote
but it struck me as being quite insidious. Slavery still exists
in the U.S. for Americans of African decent and it's practiced by The
Democrat Party with the abhorrent measures like one of the very worst
and most damaging to Black Americans known as "The Great Society". The
damage done to Negro American culture and families is horrifying. Why
are they so blind to it? It boggles the mind. o_O

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent
of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans
(136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of
the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the
Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to
give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats
overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was
revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist
organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African
Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a
Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered
thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and
communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood,
Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North
Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such
as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the
traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed.
Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white
Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25
years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil
rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was
specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African
Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America)
has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the
Republicans have elected three.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Our USPS Regional Manager had a piece in the paper a few days ago saying
that they know exactly how to make the USPS more efficient but Congress
won't let them do it.

Over the weekend I bought something on line and selected Free Economy
Shipping. The item has already arrived at the UPS depot from which our
deliveries are always made, but this item will be delivered tomorrow
by... Ta-da! The US Postal Service. So the Postal Service can deliver
items more economically than UPS itself can, even when they have to be
trucked from UPS over to the Post Office?

In a single word: Nepotism

...nepotism in the workplace

It's called racial preference (or sexual or ethnic or whatever.) It's
what the left have renamed affirmative action after that latter term
deservedly became obscene.

Note that schools don't do this because they're ordered to do it by
the
government. They do it because they're in the iron grip of left-wing
"multi-culti" administrators who believe in it - who drank deeply from
the "diversity" Kool-Aid vat.

Schools have said, and courts have agreed with them, that the schools
have an "interest" in having a "diverse" student body in particular
programs at particular schools - say, the University of Michigan law
school. So, even though blacks simply don't meet the objective
criteria
for admission to the law school, the school admissions committee,
operating under the *normative* belief that it is "good" if there
blacks
in the school roughly in the same percentage as the percentage of
blacks
in the general population, will admit some low-GPA, low-LSAT blacks
while necessarily rejecting some whites and Asians who scored higher
and
are more likely to complete their degrees. This happens at
undergraduate
schools, too.

California's most excellent Proposition 209, passed overwhelmingly by
the voters in 1996, was supposed to forbid any consideration of race,
ethnicity, sex, national origin, or all the usual left-wing
identity-politics bull**** criteria, in university admissions or any
other aspect of California state administration. It has worked well,
but
the left-wing racists are seeking to overturn it, and that asshole
Moonbeam Brown supports their efforts, signing a letter to the
Marxist-dominated 9th Circuit court asking them to overturn Prop 209.

A famous Black minister once said something to the effect that he
dreamed for a day when a man would be judged by the content of his
character and not the color of his skin. I remember some nut shot
him. o_O

TDD

In fact..it was a Democrat that shot him.

There is no evidence Ray was a Democrat. Also, King was not a
Republican, contrary to idiot far-right bull****.

I've never heard anyone call Dr. King a Republican

gummer does. See
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.m...d559fa0a68a3a7

There is no evidence Martin Luther King, Jr. ever was a registered
Republican. In fact, there is no evidence about King's voter
registration at all. His father, Martin Luther King, _Sr._ was a
registered Republican, who subsequently split with the Republican party
in the 1960s.

King, Jr. /may/ have been a Republican, because up until the late 1950s
and early 1960s, most southern blacks who registered to vote registered
as Republicans. That's because, _in the south_ up through the 1950s,
the segregationists - and the Klan - were Democrats. That all began to
change in the late 1950s, and accelerated so that by the end of the
1960s, the segregationists had all switched to the Republican party and
the blacks had all switched to the Democrats.

To repeat: there is no evidence Martin Luther King, Jr. /ever/ was a
Republican. But racist reactionaries like gummer will not give up on
the lie. gummer also insists the KKK is still Democratic, when in fact
southern segregationists defected /en masse/ in the 1960s to the
Republican party, because the national Democratic party supported the
civil rights acts while the Republicans opposed them.


but there is one
thing everyone can agree on about Ray, he was a murderer. There was
another great American who was killed during that time and it's a
shame he's not given his due respect and that man was Medgar Evers.

Medgar Evers is given his due. Where have you been?


He was an outstanding young man who just happens to be buried at
Arlington National Cemetery because he served in The Army during
WWII.

Libs operate by inciting hatred. My sister, for example, is a lib. When I
mention anything Republican, she goes into wild eyed hatred of people like
Reagan, who got her husband fired.

Conservatives operate by reasoning, and intelligence.

It's very dificult to reason with an angry person.

A friend years ago when the Seagrams Distillery in Waterloo closed
down, was looking for a job. He was a BIG BOY - about 310 and 6'4",
and bald as a billiard ball
On the application was the question "are you a member of a visible
minority?"
He answered yes and got an interview -
The interviewer was taken aback, and asked why he answered "yes" to
the visible minority question.
He answered that he was a hardworking, intelligent, unemployed white
male, so was in the minority, and at 6'4" and 310 , and "shiny" he was
DEFINITELY visible!!

Years ago I read of an engineer who had his name legally changed to a
Hispanic surname so he could get a job. Before that, his resumes with
his outstanding qualifications were always tossed. After his resumes
were edited by changing to the new name, he was swamped with job offers. o_O

Nahh, I know a guy with a hispanic surname and a degres from the Yale
Law School. He's been starving for years.

How many years ago? o_O

Well, he graduated the same year as Bush Jr IIRC and he's been starving
for most of the interim.

Does he smell real bad or something? He has a law degree from Yale and
he's starving? Perhaps he has such high morals which keep him from the
practice of law? o_O

No, he in theory works as a lawyer. In practice he's been the junior
assistant to the associate peon's aide's apprentice for decades.

goes home and does as little as possible.

Or "public" or "Administration". My first degree I was twice blessed
as it was in Public Administration (although in my defense at the
time I was trying to a double major in Poli Sci and Journalism and
this was close w/o the need for a foreign language-grin).
(My next was a real degree in Nursing)

I note that "real" science does not have the word "science" as part of its
description. Whereas "pretend" science does.

Just using the scientific method does not make the discipline scientific.

Well, actually, using the scientific method does make the discipline
scientific. But if you're talking about "political science" and "social
science" they don't use the scientific method. They use statistics and
pretend that because they're playing with numbers they're doing science.




What they are doing is applying scientific methods to studying human
behavior. So it is scientific. The problem is the subject isn't numbers
but people. You will never be able to have the precision in
understanding human behavior that you will in understanding numbers or
quantum physics or astronomy. Social sciences just don't lend themselves
to exact measures. So while they can't compete with other sciences in
how precisely they measure things they sure can use scientific
methodology to understand their subject just as well as any other
science. So the truth is any time you use the methods of science to
learn or study a subject that is science.
