God, Satan And The Creation of HMOs
May 31, 2008
Laughter is one of the best medicines, so laugh a little.

God & Satan In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof. God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food." God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan created HMOs.

Zoo Board Postpones Decision on Maggie visit site

Please see below update on Maggie and note story. We should continue to write to the zoo board: directors@alaskazoo.org and post comments on ADN's forum for Maggie's release: http://community.adn.com/?q=adn/node/104642. As you will see in the article below, they hand-picked ignoramus comments for Maggie to stay in AK. Thanks! -Nadia
The Alaska Zoo board of directors met Tuesday night to discuss the future of Maggie, Alaska's lone elephant, and decided they needed more time to consult with experts, review public opinion and find out what options exist for Maggie outside Alaska


Tell your governor: Help stop dangerous "super bug" in hospitals!

Over two million Americans develop hospital infections every year, and 90,000 patients die each year from these hospital infections. That's more people dying from hospital acquired infections than from homicides and auto accidents combined! And now, a virulent "super bug" spreading in our hospitals poses a deadly risk to patients and is driving up the cost of hospital care. Most common antibiotics can't cure methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. People who develop them while in the hospital often suffer for years with additional hospitalizations and surgeries. Most U.S. hospitals have not yet implemented effective strategies to curb MRSA--but they will if the public demands action. Directed by your governor, your state health department can assess each hospital's prevention program and then let the public know which hospitals are taking this deadly epidemic seriously. Sign our petition to tell your Governor to make stopping deadly hospital infections a priority!

Copyright - Get Rid of the 3-year Statute of Limitations

Anti-Plagiarism 'Bill' - Vote For Honesty and Trust..! Our 'Protected Rights' are supposed to be for 70 years after our death, they have drastically reduced this to a mere 3 years, and that's only if we catch someone stealing our writings, art, etc..., in time to file a Lawsuit. The STATUTE of LIMITATIONS has no place in our society as it promotes Infringement/Theft, and proves that our Laws don't work for US. Please help to restore our Copyright Protections to allow us to Sue in our lifetime and, Protecting our Rights for: "70 years past Death, not 3 years past theft"Thank you for your time and consideration.

Tell President Bush: Do Not Send More Troops to Iraq

Recently, President Bush had an opportunity to announce that he would begin to bring our troops home. Instead, he made the choice to escalate our involvement in Iraq's civil war by sending in 21,500 more troops. Our troops and their families have served our nation courageously and sacrificed enough! But with each State of the Union address, Bush announces a major strategic shift for Iraq that is nothing more than the same failed tactics all over again. President Bush: We The People do not support the plan to escalate the troop levels in Iraq! The truth is simple: adding additional troops has already been tried and it has already failed. Democrats, Republicans and the bipartisan Iraq Study Group have all offered President Bush a roadmap to turn Iraq over to the Iraqis, begin the phased redeployment of American troops and end our open-ended commitment. There is a better way.
