Laughter IS the best medicine…but still…
This just in here at Sanity Central, about this poor child that’s been laughing for 12 years. No, it’s not funny. According to Ananova, this girl in China has been laughing since she was two and also lost the power of speech. Here’s hoping that they get the kid some help. It sounds like the [...]

Got An Illness in America? Welcome to Bankruptcy…
With all the current talk about a posible, sorely needed systm of universal health care in the USA, it’s interesting that a report by Harvard Medical School just published says that 62.1% of bankruptcies in the United States are because of a health care issue. That is absurd, my friends. I knew the number would [...]

The Bankers are Not Your Friends
I don’t know that much about Senator Dick Durbin, (though I am glancing over his voting record as I write this) but I did run across this interesting little quote from him today. Durbin is a Democratic Senator from IL, and apparently he said recently: “And the banks – hard to believe in a time [...]

And then there’s this…
Some idiotic Chicago libertarian (or republican, depends on who you ask) so-called “shock jock” radio talk show host apparently had himself water-boarded the other day to “see if it was torture or not.” Uh, I can answer that without having to bother anyone to tie me up or anything. Yes, it’s torture. Simple as that. [...]

Puritans need not apply
Look, I’m all for people having religious freedom, I really am.В I’m all for people believing whatever they want. I am, however, more than a little tired of puritanical people making decisions about what other adults can see and hear, say on television. For instance we happened to be up at about 12:30 the other [...]

We Freak Out Over So Little
I saw a great comment on Twitter lately; having to do with the recent kerfluffle over Facebook’s (now reversed)change in their “Terms of Service,” where for perhaps a period of 24 hours it said something like “All your data are belong to us forever and always if you put it on Facebook.” Within hours, after [...]

Diogenes and Obama
I know I’m late on the uptake here but I just had to mention that it seemed that President Obama is unwittingly being called to behavior right up there with one of the original cynics, Diogenes. I’m speaking in the context of President Obama’s attempts to get his cabinet populated. В In case you don’t [...]
