Bringing the Rear End

As always, the FDA is the running behind the pack holding up the rear end. Is anyone taking the FDA seriously?

Food safety worries mount

The Food and Drug Administration, criticized by some in Congress for responding too slowly, is struggling to catch up with the implications of the spread of melamine-contaminated glutens from China to hogs, and the human food chain. The FDA is still trying to get its investigators into China, where a skeptical government only last week assented to investigators' visa requests.

Arrested For Being Creative

Good thing Stephen King has already finished high school... or college for that matter.

Carroll said the complaint against Lee quotes his essay as saying:
"Blood, sex and booze. Drugs, drugs, drugs are fun. Stab, stab, stab,
stab, stab, s . . . t . . . a . . . b . . ., puke. So I had this dream
last night where I went into a building, pulled out two P90s and
started shooting everyone, then had sex with the dead bodies. Well, not
really, but it would be funny if I did."

Why... It's Deja Vu All Over Again!

Is the US Already at War With Iran? by Charles Davis

So why has the media afforded such extensive coverage to "Imus-gate," yet found no time to cover allegations of American-sponsored terrorism? Outside of ABC News, it’s a struggle to find any discussion of U.S. support for anti-Iranian extremist groups in the major media outlets. While the New York Times was quick to speak about the Imus affair in an April 11th editorial, there has been not so much as a mention of the Jundullah story in their paper, much less a critical look at how the story undermines the White House’s moral authority to criticize Iran for its supposed "meddling" in Iraq. The same goes for the Washington Post, where a search for "Jundullah" reveals only two wire articles on the subject. One finds no editorials questioning the policy, no reaction from lawmakers, no introspective takes on the morality of such a policy – one finds next to nothing. In contrast, the paper has run over 200 articles on the Don Imus story, examining it from every possible angle until the point where the mere mention of the name "Don Imus" is enough to cause one’s mental faculties to shut down in protest.

If It Was That Easy...

... It is!!

Timothy Rouse, 19, is charged with beating an elderly western
Kentucky man and was at the Kentucky Correctional & Psychiatric
Center in La Grange for a mental evaluation. He was released from that
facility on April 6 after officials received the fake court order.

It
contained grammatical errors, was not typed on letterhead and was faxed
from a local grocery store. The fax falsely claimed that the Kentucky
Supreme Court "demanded" Rouse be released.

Turmoil Grows for Wolfowitz at World Bank

Paul D. Wolfowitz’s tenure as president of the World Bank was thrown into turmoil on Thursday by the disclosure that he had helped arrange a pay raise for his companion at the time of her transfer from the bank to the State Department, where she remained on the bank payroll.



In a chaotic day of revelations and meetings at a normally staid institution, Mr. Wolfowitz apologized for his role in the raise and transfer of Shaha Ali Riza, his companion, to a few hundred staff members assembled in the bank building atrium, only to be greeted by booing, catcalls and cries for his resignation.

Forget About the Knife Set...

... for the wedding gift!


A Newport woman was arrested last night for stabbing her fiancé with a grill fork during a domestic dispute.
Gwendolyn Evans, 39, allegedly stabbed Dennis Farrell, 46, of Alexandria, at her West 10th Street home around 8 p.m. Monday. She is charged with assault in the second degree, a felony.
The couple, who told police they are engaged, said they began arguing and hitting each other. Evans stabbed Farrell once in the side and once in the back with the grill fork, according to the police report.

"She alleges that he had struck her, so when he turned around she stabbed him in the back with a grill fork," said Newport Police Ofc. Tom Collins.
She is being held in the Campbell County Detention Center in Newport. As of 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, no bond nor arraignment date had been set. Farrell received treatment for the injuries at University Hospital.

Now what kind of a company announces a major vulnerability without having first released a fix for it?



Microsoft releases emergency software patch

The world’s largest computer software company made the patch available a week ahead of schedule as hacker groups, most of them based in China, intensified attacks designed to exploit the weakness that Microsoft disclosed last Thursday.

Washington hurting British bid to free crew

But Britain's delicate diplomatic efforts were set back by U.S. President George W. Bush, who made a statement Saturday in which he characterized the imprisoned sailors as “hostages” — a phrase that Britain has been carefully avoiding to prevent the crisis from becoming a broader political or military conflict.



“The British hostages issue is a serious issue because the Iranians took these people out of Iraqi waters, and it's inexcusable behaviour,” Mr. Bush said in response to a reporter's question during a press conference at the Camp David retreat.



He had reportedly promised not to raise the issue of the sailors, as British officials worry that the entry of the United States into this crisis could cause it to escalate into an irreconcilable confrontation.



Other U.S. officials have been even less amenable to the British approach. John Bolton, who until recently was Mr. Bush's ambassador to the United Nations, has appeared on British TV describing the British approach as “pathetic.”
