Thursday, February 8th, 2007Dogs Prefer Power Point
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007A Cleveland Clinic doctor induced a brain aneurysm in a dog for a medical sales demo. The presentation was fatal to man's best friend.
In addition to medicine shows, the highly self-regarded institution treats Cleveland Browns players, also known as "Dawgs" around here. The team is suffering a staph infection epidemic.
The Far Side of Global Warming
Thursday, December 14th, 2006Good news. As I suspected, Global Warming isn't man-made. It's made by cow farts.
It's true. There is a 400 page U.N. study to prove it.
Contact Gary Larson to learn if the crisis is worsened when cows light their methane emissions.
Big Apple a Day
Friday, December 8th, 2006Having already banned smoking, NYC Health Nazis did Ohio's Storm Troopers one better. They criminalized trans fats.
Next time you fly to LaGuardia strike a blow for freedom. Pack a bag of fries in your carry-on.

Friday, November 3rd, 2006Hanging Tough for Fashion
Friday, September 29th, 2006I have broad concerns beyond politics. Like the health of fashion models. They are way too skinny.
Sadistic designers like the way their clothes hang.
The The Madrid Fashion Show is finally doing something about the epidemic. All models must have a height to weight ratio of at least 18. Sounds scientific.
Some models are concerned that cleaning their plates will harm their careers. It won't as long as they eat their spinach.
Organic Spinach: Bio Weapon
Wednesday, September 20th, 2006E coli in spinach. Popeye. Get it?
Food Ayatollahs like the Center for Science in the Public Interest have long waged jihad on everything you like. Activist Cash.com offers a glimpse at their battle plan:
- extra taxes on foods with fat, sugar, and sodium (the so-called “Twinkie tax”);
- government-mandated “warning” labels on high-fat, high-calorie menu items;
- mandatory
nutrition information on restaurant menus, menu-boards, meat packages,
hamburger wrappers, food commercials, ice cream stores, movie theatres,
bakeries, hot dog stands, etc., etc.- requirements that broadcasters give free “equal time” to government-supported advertisements of “healthy” foods;
- restrictions on baby food packaging requiring that tapioca be labeled as “chemically modified food starch”;
- labels warning parents that soft drinks may be replacing low-fat milk, fruit juice, and other drinks in their children’s diets;
- labels warning of contamination from fresh, unpasteurized juices;
- a government-sponsored “Must-Not-See-TV Week” campaign; and
- stricter regulations on genetically enhanced foods, which are already the most regulated food products in the U.S.
Organically raised spinach might be the one thing they'd want you to eat.
