Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The revolution will be supervised.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

This really is a full service blog.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The willow is too close to the house.

Aspirin Hates Women

It appears that not only does aspirin alleviate pain and ease suffering, but it also hates women:

Men who took aspirin over five years slightly lowered their risk for prostate cancer, but women who took low doses over 10 years didn’t reduce their risk of cancer, two separate studies indicate.

The conflicting results don’t help settle the debate about whether aspirin and similar anti-inflammatory medicines could be used to prevent cancer. Doctors think different study designs and aspirin doses explain the contrasting findings.

”I don’t think we have a final story on aspirin” and its effects on cancer, said Dr. Peter Greenwald, director of cancer prevention at the National Cancer Institute, which helped fund the women’s health study.

Interesting.

    My guess is, based on the information given, is that women don’t have prostates.

    But I’m no medical professional.

    Heh…funny!

    As a woman, I’ve often wondered why the medical community would suppose that medicines which work on men would work exactly the same on women.

    We have different parts, different chemical balances, different hormones, even different DNA structures. Duh…we’re different!

    Yes, we are the same species, which means that most meds will have a similar effect on both men and women. No, we aren’t the same internally so therefore, logically speaking, the drugs won’t work exactly the same.

    But, thats just my opinion as I’m not a medical professional nor a biogenetic engineer/scientist.
