By Lea Santurdio As the innovations of modern science continue to improve so does the diet of different athletes, in many cases the kinds of foods that you eat will determine if you excel at your sport or are destined for mediocrity.

There’s a really interesting article in this month’s PC Plus magazine about the war against spam which gave me the impetus to try to do something about those annoying spam messages that appear in your inbox with your email address in the ‘from’ field, like this: 123greetings.com [gareth@garethjmsaunders.co.uk] Anti-spam software I use Cloudmark Desktop , a spam blocking add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2007. It’s unobtrusive and pretty reliable, eliminating about 99% of all spam that gets delivered to my inbox.

My newest column at American Issues Project is live, and it asks a very good question. If Democrats are really serious about improving our health care system, then why isn’t tort reform included in the Baucus bill? Edwards himself was a notorious trial lawyer. His “specialty” was children with cerebral palsy. Using junk science and sleazy tactics, he tried over 60 malpractice cases and won over $1 million in half of those cases.

Is it any wonder why this administration and presidency is nothing but a joke? You’ve got Obama’s Science Czar, a screwball radical moron that advocates population control (forced sterilization and abortions), he’s a climate kook as well. Well I’m calling this moron out. Put up, or shut up.White House science czar John Holdren has predicted 1 billion people will die in “carbon-dioxide induced famines” in a coming new ice age by 2020.I’ve got a million dollars that says John Holdren is full of shit.

Court evidence shows drug giant Merck systematically targetted “hit-lists” of doctors to discredit, neutralise or destroy critics of the safety and effectiveness of Merck’s drugs.

How DARE we question AlGore!

I totally agree with this article and am thankful that someone has mentioned about the C of E’s obsession with man-caused climate change. Firstly many of us find the “man-made global warming” science (religion more like) dubious at best and secondly, this is supposed to be the church of Jesus Christ, focused on making disciples, not bleating on the climate change mantra.By Martin Beckford, Religious Affairs Correspondent – TelegraphConserving energy is meant to be an important part of being green,

In the light of this week’s ridiculous announcement that Barack H. Obama had been given a Nobel Peace Prize, for no perceivable reason — the same empty honor having previously been bestowed upon such luminaries as Jimmy Carter and Albert Gore — it is my honor and pleasure to present you with our own nominations for the next Nobel Prize.

The season is upon us, and more than ever vampires are in style. There are how many vampire shows on the air right now? There’s that one on HBO where the whole point is to see graphic vampire sex . (On that topic, check out 10 Vampires That Suck Less Than The Ones In “True Blood” ). There’s the one for teenagers about a vampire who keeps a diary for some reason. Oh, and there’s a movie about some model named Twilight (and Robert Pattinson’s penis ).

Paul Hudson is still fighting it, citing junk science and incomplete data, but the climate kook has begun to back peddle and publicly state some truths, although it must be said that with the evidence it’s pretty hard to keep the charade going, and Hudson knows it.This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.But it is true.

The embodiment of why we Republicans (as differentiated from Conservatives within the same organization) lose over and over to Democrats is Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Allow me to back up a bit for clarification. First, let it be known that Mr. Graham strongly supports “sweeping climate change legislation.” Translation: Graham wants to increase your taxes, and he wants to do it because he is really a liberal Democrat going through the first stages of a political sex-change operation.

Entry in progress—B.P. Wikipedia: Food desert A food desert is a district with little or no access to foods needed to maintain a healthy diet, but often served by plenty of fast food restaurants. The concept of ‘access’ may be interpreted in three separate ways. ‘Physical access’ to shops can be difficult if the shops are distant, the shopper is elderly or infirm, the area has many hills, public transport links are poor, and the consumer has no car.

Just like McCain, Lindsey Graham is actually a DIG, a democrat in drag.  I would like to say that I am terribly sorry for all of this but I cannot.  He is friends with McCain and friends with the morons in the other party.  You know.  They have to “reach across the aisle”.  I’d like to reach out. Michelle Malkin: What did I tell ya? Lindsey Graham signs on to cap-and-tax I hate to say “I told you so.” But, well, I told you so. GOP Sen.
