A Woman is a Dangerous Thing To Waste... |

Here is an unbelievably stomach-turning story regarding an anti-malaria drug called Larium that soldiers in Iraq have been taking. Apparently it makes you go crazy, gives you a brain disorder and turns you suicidal. What fun! What makes me most nauseas is that when the soldiers ask for help, the are charged with "cowardice" or discharged from the army. Nice government. To think that Bush wouldn't accept Rumsfeld's resignation. I guess that means that Bush himself doesn't give a flying fuck about the condition of our soldiers (big shocker) even to the extent that he gave them medicine where these side effects are known to happen. Worry Spreads Over GI Drug Side Effects. Also, if you live in a blue state you are about to get less funding. Not because you didn't vote for Bush, but it just happens that most city folk, urban people are in blue states. Tough luck for us. Bush Budget Cuts Targets Blue States. Finally, surprise surprise, Corporations support Bush's agenda for Social Security and limiting medical malpractice lawsuits. The Democrats are planning on holding community events to get people riled up, but really, we need a Dr. King or a Gandhi to rally the masses. Where is that person? Conservatives Join Forces for Bush Plans. Smell ya later.
