BLACKWATER WORLDWIDE TO LOSE LICENSE TO WORK IN IRAQ

An internal U S State Department report says Blackwater must prepare alternative means to protect diplomats there. The 42 page draft report report by the State Department's Inspector General says there is the prospect that Blackwater will be barred from the country. The department will have to make other security arrangements to replace Blackwater.

Blackwater employees no longer had immunity after January 1st when a new U S-Iraq security pact took effect. U S investigators have linked Blackwater to over 70 shooting incidents.

THE NERVE OF JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS TO ATTEND THE INAUGURATION !!

Why was Justice Clarence Thomas at the Inauguration ? He has no love for President Barak Obama. President Obama said at Rick Warren's Forum that Justice Thomas was not a strong enough jurist or legal thinker.

Justice David Souter denied the law suit questioning President Obama's citizenship. Justice Thomas reopened the case and put the matter to a vote. This has never been done before.

Justice Thomas supposedly told his friends he would stay on the bench for another 43 years to get revenge on the liberals who opposed his seat on the bench.

A STUDY FINDS VICKS BAD FOR YOUNGSTERS

Research published by the American College of Chest Physicians has found Vick's may clog a young child's airways by increasing mucus and slowing it's removal.The author Dr. Bruce Rubin of the Department of Pediatrics at Wake Forest University, N.C.said, "I recommend never putting Vick's in, or under, the nose of anybody."

He said cough and cold medicines and decongestants were not good for young children. He recommends salt water, warm drinks,and chicken soup. Proctor and Gamble, the makers of Vick's slammed the study saying it is based on tests from ferrets.

Dr Rubin began the study after caring for an 18 mo-old girl at his hospital who developed severe respiratory distress after vaporub was put under her nose.

SHOCK AND AWE IS OVER JUST IN TIME FOR THE INAUGURATION

I think this was a planned act to take out all the infrastructure before Barak Obama takes office. Israel knew President Bush would not stop them, so they took out everything. This was their last chance.

No one knows what stance Obama will take. It was terrible that journalists were not allowed in to see the atrocities. I think Israel's standing in the world has diminished. They discount the U.N. and will not listen to their output. They bombed the U.N. warehouse and fired upon Red Cross workers.

These acts were despicable. It brings to mind the attack of the USS Pueblo by North Korea and the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel.

HEPATITUS C SUFFERERS IN AUSTRALIA GOING UNTREATED

There has been a call for urgent action to treat 98% of the 200,000 Australians living with the virus. Only 2% of Australians receieved treatment last year. The number of people with severe liver disease as a result of untreated hepatitis c has risen from 35,000 to 47,600 in the past five years. The virus can be cured with drugs in up to 80 per cent of cases.

A WOMAN TAPES FINGERS AND FOOLS JAPAN'S SECURITY SYSTEM

A woman from South Korea has been barred from entering Japan last year is back again. She foiled the airport fingerprint security system. The barometric system was installed in 30 airports in 2007 to prevent terrorists from entering Japan according to Yomiuri Shembun newspaper.

Japan spent more than 1/4 billion to install the system, which reads index fingers and cross-checks them on an international database . The woman was deported in July 2007 but was back in August.

BBC BLACKOUT ON GAZA

There is an informal blackout at BBC Radio over the public outrage following the Gaza incursion by Israeli troops. The radio phone's have been screening out any callers wanting to talk about the Israeli air strikes and ground offensives in the Middle East.

The radio shows are being heavily moderated and half of the comments are rejected. They have been told to stay away from the subject. The self imposed ban clearly steers away from on-air debates on the topic.

IT'S TIME FOR HARRY REID TO GO !!

It seems that he is trying to save face now concerning Burris. He doesn't want to have egg on his face. He is upset that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan was not selected to fill Barak Obama's seat. All this nonsense would not be going on if the Illinois governor had done what he asked of him.

What is his approval rating? It must be low as the public thinks this has been the worst congress ever. The congress was not on their job when the economy collapsed.

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE BEING SENT WITH THE HALF MILLION DOLLAR CHINA ?

I think it is a shame that after eight years in the white house, Laura Bush has found something to do. Two weeks before leaving the White House she is bringing out the china. It seems like the Bush's are trying to cram everything into the last two weeks. Things that could have been done over the last eight years.

Is she saying that the President-Elect and wife will have no taste and would not know how to pick a desirable design of china service ?

FEINSTEIN SAYS SENATE SHOULD SEAT BURRIS

Senator Dianne Feinstein knows how things can come back and bite you. Just like the forces came together and backed President-Elect Barak Obama, someone could be put out front to challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. It seems like he thinks he will be there forever. But people are fickle and the least little thing can tick people off.

Reid pressured Blagojevich not to appoint Jackson Jr. to Obama's U S Senate seat.He sent a list of persons he would like to have the seat. He also called other governors who had senate vacancies in their states.I would like Blagojevich to get a team of constitutional lawyers to challenge these people who on Monday were his colleague and on Tuesday said he was crazy and wanted him removed.

WILL DEMS BE IN CONTROL TWO YEARS FROM NOW ?

If the Democrats keep up with their shenanigans, I believe that the Republicans will regain control of the senate and congress. Harry Reid is trying to control government and I think he will lose. We will see how much power he has. He is flexing his muscles.

MORGUE 'S ARE FORCED TO BUY FORKLIFT'S TO MOVE OBESE

The proportion of morbidly obese corpses has increased from one to five percent. Workers were at risk of injury because the bodies are difficult to lift, move and store.
The tissue of morbidly obese patients are degraded rapidly making it hard to handle them. Autopsies have been performed on the floor,leaning from ladder's. Ambulances now being bought are extra large fitted with hydraulic lifts capable of carrying loads of one ton.

JAPAN IS IMPORTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF HAIR FROM CHINA

The natural hair is used to make hair extensions. There is a supply shortage and a surge in the cost. It takes the Chinese women about 3 years to grow hair to the floor. Drivers go to small villages, cut hair and give women small amounts of money.

After collected hair is bleached, dyed black or brown at processing plants and then exported to Japan. Japan imported 178 tons of dyed hair from China in 2007. In 2002 it was only 26 tons. It takes 50 grams of hair to make an extension. The hair imported in 2007 was enough to make3.56 million extensions.

The price for extensions in Japan is $100.00.The price of hair from China has gone up 50% from a year ago.It is a seller's market. Hair grows about 2 inches a month and 65 inch long extensions are the minimum.After 3 months use the hair deteriorates and has to be disposed of.
