Stuff below the fold

The Christian Science Monitor, one of the few thoughtful MSM outlets, is going to web only..
-------------------------

In "Team America:WorldPolice", the UN representative threatens the bad guy with a "nasty letter".

So today's news says that UN head won't even send a nasty letter: Instead he asks the thugs in the Congo: Stop fighting....Pretty please with sugar on it...

Ummm...try sending in Blackwater instead...
------------------------------------
Sounds like nothing has changed....hospitals fail to please...
Twenty years ago, in one of the best hospitals in the US, I was ignored while the nurses were busy "documenting" in the charts...
When I took myself for a walk, other patients who found out I was a doctor stopped me to ask questions about their disease...because only the floor scrubber came into the rooms between vital sign checks.

-------------------
California passed a law protecting animal researchers against animal rights terrorists....

The terror that rarely gets headlines...
------------------

Polio is spreading..thanks to ignorant mullahs...
the real problem of course is that the Mullahs read the vaccine conspiracy theories in the western press, and believed them...
-----------------

Spinning the negative....from the headlines, you wouldn't realize that for men, the lifetime fidelity index is 72%....for women 85%....

They also don't note that the old Chicago data showed that the majority of infidelity was in failing marriages...that the failure of the marriage preceeded the infidelity, not vice versa...
---------------------------

StrategyPage has the story behind that raid on Syria LINK..

--------------------

and the really important news of the day: want romance? Be a Lady In Red
