BULLSHIT, is what I call it

A new proposal, according to some stat im making up but is based off of some credible source I have read. 60% of USA population has the internet and/or regular access to an internet assecisble computer. Thats more people than who acctually pay income taxes! Like everything else the assecebility to the computer is creating a long term stetimic problem addiction or something like it. Americans love to be able to identify a feeling or a problem and treat it with drugs or rehab. Americans love a rehabilitated person, especcially a celebrity. As the relegious would call it, a story of witness.


What the hell is Restless Leg Syndrome? I somehow came across a perscription that can help fix this debilitating syndrome.


C'MON man! thats some bull shit but the medical definition makes me laugh just as much
An article writing In the Medical Journal BMJ by Dr. M. Yunus & Dr. J.C. Aldag defines RLS as

"Restless legs syndrome is characterised by an unpleasant, difficult-to-describe
sensation in the legs that produces an invariable urge to move them frequently.
This symptom typically occurs at rest or before sleep and is alleviated
by activity." BMJ

All I can focus on is the Alleviated by activity, so this is made for lazy people who didnt get off their fat ass all day. This is what Im talking about when Americans just make up disorders. Tell them to go walk outside or something if they cant sleep because of RLS. I digress because I could give a damn about people wanting sedatives and pain pills because what is new, everyone loves to Limbaugh. I digress because my point isnt about the overmedicating in America for stupid shit and to keep people zombied up, but about americas need to identify everything as a problem.

Eric Benet, Tiger Woods, David Duchovny, Michael Douglas, & Billy bob thorton have all been to sex rehab. I still dont get the purpose of this, for one Eric Benet was with Halle Berry. Can I blame a man for wanting sex to much from her? What other addiction allows one to partake in their addiction. In Alchol rehabilitation they tell the patients to stay away from alchol and stay sober, since it is easy to start drinking again. If you go to Drug rehab, they tell Brett Favre. Lay off the pain killers forever, you are addicted and will become again if you partake. SEX REHAB, what the fuck. The concept isnt even logical, its just weird. First let me find a definition or purpose of sex rehab or a sex addict. PsychCentral define sex addiction as:

"Sexual addiction is best described as a progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts. Like all addictions, its negative impact on the addict and on family members increases as the disorder progresses. Over time, the addict usually has to intensify the addictive behavior to achieve the same results."

Honestly just sounds like puberty when you would sleep with any girl who gave you the time of day. Its not about love its fucking. So are all people who dont get married but like sex, sexual addicts? since they obviouslly lack intimacy? I will give it a second thought let me see what the purpose of rehab is.

"is a full service Sexual Addiction Treatment Center. Where there is a desire for help treatment is successful. With the help of the clinician a treatment plan is created not only to deal with sexual addiction but other issues. Sexual addiction is a very isolative and shameful behavior for the addict. At the Genesis House Sexual Addiction Treatment Center Program, the client will be involved in independent therapy, group therapy and family therapy to deal with all issues at hand. It is important to include significant others in the therapy as it is with other addictions." blah blah blah 12 step program

I am still not convinced this is a stupid fucking diagnoses. What happened to the days when a person who fucks to much is identified as a man Whore, whore, a cheater, or promiscuis. Now its a disorder that rich folks made up so they dont have to blame themselves. SMH, if your a whore your a whore not an addict. Just like someone addicted to crack without a lawyer is a crackhead not a person batteling their drug addiction.

This is the only addiction programing where you dont have to give up your addiction completley just cut back. I thought that was monogamy, but I could be wrong. I doubt all those people who go to rehab are single or with a wife who doesnt want kids. What then, well honey I cant sleep with you because then i might get excited and fuck the whole block. BULLSHIT, this is not an addiction. Just some made up hollywood diesese so their golden people dont have to be refered to as whores. Just remember before you get tiger woods, think should I marry her and risk loosing half and my kids. Or take the lil wayne route, just have 5 kids by different wives and never worry about loosing half.


I'd rather sail alone than have my damn ship sunken.
Being single's par for the course,
I don't wanna cause a marriage cause I don't wanna cause a divorce.
Its probably important and its better for health.
Besides, I get the whole damn bed for myself.
But what the hell everybody yells for me to drop down my guard.
No! this heart of mine's for me, it's locked down and it's scarred.
Go home, I don't need me a wife, I'm happily single for life, alright?

TAX CUTS=Performance Enhancers

When the allegations came out that BARRY BONDS(the best hitter ever)used Performance enhancing drugs, one would have thought that he crashed the economy and pushed gasoline prices up. Besides the fact that Baseball is a game, and not some mythical activity that trumps is to be a beacon of light in the world.
First, who never cheated in sports? Dont lie, that includes taking a time out while acting injured, distracting the ref to get away with fouls, over the back foul not called in basketball, an illegal block in football, fighting in the dog piles in football, Flopping in Basketball & Soccer, spitballs, corked bats, betting scandals, but performance enhancing drugs is a determent to the game. fact many sports accepts cheaters in there most cherished halls, THE HOF. I didn't realize that the Hall of fame fame was sacred, I though it was to enshrine and remember the best who played the game. The players that can not be forgotten while telling the narrative history of a sport.

- The lovable Chicago Cubs allegedly laid the precedents for the Black Soxs Scandal of 1919 (Boston Herald Link)

- Hall of Fame Picther Gaylord Perry admitted to scuffing the ball, and using spitballs to modify the projectory of his pitch, which is illegal under MLB rules.

Gaylord Perry -- the only pitcher in history to have won the Cy Young Award in both leagues -- fooled hitters and umpires for 22 years. An admitted proponent of the spitball, he entitled his autobiography Me and the Spitter. He contended that he rarely threw it, however, maintaining the idea that he might use a spitball was enough to put the hitter at a disadvantage. He heightened suspicion by his odd, herky-jerky delivery.(HSW.com)

- Whitey Ford (P)THE New York Yankees

They used to call the righty "Black & Decker" for his creative use of mound tools. As legend goes, Sutton put a note in his glove that he was sure would be inspected by an umpire: "You're getting warm, but it's not here." Ford later admitted he used his wedding ring to cut baseballs and something he called "gunk," a mixture of rosin, baby oil and turpentine.
And the old farmer? Gosh, he wasn't the least embarrassed by any taint. He was darn proud.
"If I were Kenny, I'd go shake their hands with mine full of pine tar so that they'd stick to 'em," Perry said. "That's what I used to do. The day before I pitched, I'd do it with Vaseline. (Opposing players) would say, 'What are you doing?' And I'd say, 'Gettin' ready for tomorrow night.' " (USA Today)

- Hall of Fame Player Joe Morgan admitted playing with corked bats. (ESPN)
- Hall of Fame player TY COBB was just an all around bad human being

It’s impossible to list all Ty’s acts of violence. But here are a few. 1907: Slapped a black groundskeeper; when the man’s wife protested, he grabbed her by the neck. 1908: Assaulted a black laborer; shoved a black chambermaid down the stairs. 1909: Slapped a black elevator operator for being “insolent.” When a night watchman (also black) broke it up, Cobb slashed him several times with a knife. Fined $100. 1912: Pistol-whipped a would-be mugger to death; pummeled a crippled fan. 1914: Threatened a butcher with a gun and pistol-whipped his black assistant. Babe Ruth said it best: “Ty Cobb is a prick.”(Maxim)

She was 68 years old.Dorothy Ruth Pirone, whose father was Babe Ruth but who did not learn the identity of her natural mother until she was 59 years old, died yesterday at her home in Durham, Conn. She was 68 years old. For most of her life, Mrs. Pirone was led to believe that her mother was the baseball star's first wife, Helen. Over the years, Mr. Ruth and his first wife gave conflicting birth dates and details. It was not until 1980 that Mrs. Pirone learned her real mother was Juanita Jennings, a woman she had grown up knowing and loving as a close family friend.
Last year, Mrs. Pirone wrote a book about her father, ''My Dad, the Babe,'' which was co-authored by Chris Martens and published on the 40th anniversary of her father's death, Aug. 16, 1988.(NY Times Obituaries)

I understand that the term "Performance enhancer" has become the definition of banned substances in competitive sporting events. As defined by dictionary.com to enhance is to

1. To make greater, as in value, beauty, or effectiveness; augment.

That seems simple enough, to make greater effectiveness; to augment performance.
What is the different in quarterbacks, pitchers, everyday players injecting cortisone shots in there muscles so that they can perform. If they were unable to play EFFECTIVELY without the shot, and the shot makes them play effective, then is that not by definition to enhance? yeah yeah, I know what the common excuse is, "The cortisone brings them to 100 percent, steroids and the clear makes them play above their ability." What does that mean, when people say they are playing above their ability? If they are performing at a level that is quantifiable better than their previous ability, then by default their ability level perception needs to be modified when analyzing a player. But maybe that is to disconnected from common logic since most people will never be professional athlete. It is safe to assume that a majority of the population will have children, are will be guardians of children(adoption, foster system).
If someone had a child who made C's throughout elementry but in the transition year in between elementry and middle school the child's guardian was encouraged by the administration to enhance their childs performance in the class room to avoid the child falling behind his classmates. The summer time the guardian/parent takes the child to all types of tutors(Practice equivalent in sports) put the child on ritilan, adderal(Performance enhancers) to help them focus and calm down. The new semester at school the child brings home all B's a great improvement, and the following year bring home straight A's. Would their be any parent of other failing students saying, that child is using performance enhancers and performing above his ability and make sense? I sure hope not, because that would be insane and call out over 1/3 of today's students in the education system.
Why are there separate expectations for athletes, what do people really expect. Everyone hats steroids, but no one said anything when the statistics started to soar. Superior performance is what everyone wants, in life and in sports but don't want to think about the societal implications of making examples of athletes. What would an office place be without performance enhancers like Coffee(Caffeine), pharmaceuticals prescriptions(Depression drugs, ADD drugs, ADHD drugs,), Many drugs that are illegal without a prescription, much like steroids. Sports are merely a reflection of society, you have your crazies, your cheaters, your naturally extraordinary people, innovators. But a reflection, when home-runs where being hit every day taking baseball out of sports purgatory(Post-Strike) American sports fans could care less how it was done but the results were nice, much like the economy. When Americans found out the how then the results became a problem, now look at the economy. Just think TAX CUTS=Performance Enhancers, they cant last for ever and the effects of taking them last along time.

Racism, Champions, and Perscription Drugs.

Politics is dirty, isn't that right Elliot Spitzer
At a speech today, David Bellavia former Army Staff Sergeant said in an introduction for Senator John McCain.

“Rest assured,” he told the crowd, “that men like Senator McCain will be the goal and the men that my two young boys will emulate and admire. You can have your Tiger Woods, we’ve got Senator McCain.”

This statement is loaded with implication and imagery. Tiger Woods has won over 88 times as a professional. So kids a free lesson from David Bellavia, no matter what happens in your life don't work hard at something, succeed and become a successful adult.
Secondly No matters how Tiger Woods identifies himself as, get this "a human being". Its a shame that all some people see is a black man in a white mans game. I think if anything Tiger Woods has tried not to label himself as a black man, to the disdain of a few community leaders. I thought race relations have come a longer way than this, but Scoop Jackson summed it up the best "I believe every time you hear "first black" in sports, it's an affirmation that racism in sports still exists." If racism still exist in sports it definitely exist in society.
Lastly why is David Bellavia Comparing Apples to Oranges, I thought McCain is a Politician and Tiger Woods is an athlete/corporate icon. Why not to make your point compare tiger woods and Roger Clemens. Two hall of famers, in the same profession. Sheesh


Congrats KU, hopefully they don't lose Bill Self to OSU.

That was a clutch shot and a classic sports moment. Maybe College football has it right, everybody got to see last night what happens when two great teams play in the championship. The audience ended up with a entertaining and exciting game. Even though the two best teams might not have unnecessarily been playing last night. Sure sometimes the BCS gets it wrong, but has anyone kept track of the scores of the previous championship games? Me neither. I Honestly don't believe anyone would watch the entire championship game if it was University of Louisiana-Monroe vs Kansas. I would tune in, but it would be a horrible game. So what is the purpose of a 64 team tournament, to instill that false since of hope? Why not make it a 16 team tournament and have it in bowl format. It would allow for more prime time games and would stimulate the economy of the market the game is played in. Let the 2,000 person fan base teams play each other at a mutual location so their students can go to the games.

Vodka & Drugs

The Liquor Business is apparently good business

"Sweden’s famed Absolut vodka will become absolutely French — in ownership at least — following a successful $8.34 billion bid from Pernod Ricard SA...The government said it selected Pernod Ricard’s bid on Sunday over three other offers, by liquor groups Fortune Brands and Bacardi Ltd. and an investment group controlled by Sweden’s Wallenberg family."

I didn't realize that Absolut Vodka was owned by the Swedish government, 8.34 billion is a good reason to sell it. Especially if it is still going to be produced in Sweden.

I Prefer arthritis to have a heart attack, but that is just me?

This is a weird a commercial, it defiantly makes me want to live with the pain rather than taken the pill that could kill me.

Not only does Celebrex increase the chance of a heart attack, it BOOST HEART ATTACK risks. But don't worry, Celbrex has never been taking off of the market. For now......

"doctors should prescribe the lowest doses of Celebrex possible in patients at high risk of heart problems, researchers who did a combined analysis of six studies of the Pfizer Inc. pain drug said on Monday.The analysis suggests that the potentially harmful effect of Celebrex dosage is most pronounced in higher-risk patients, researchers said at the American College of Cardiology scientific meeting.MSNBC"

Way to go FDA, once again looking out for number one. CHa CHing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

You might have well have been taken suger pills, because Vytorin and Zetia sure don't work.

"Leading doctors urged a return to older, tried-and-true treatments for high cholesterol after hearing full results Sunday of a failed trial of Vytorin.Millions of Americans already take the drug or one of its components, Zetia. But doctors were stunned to learn that Vytorin failed to improve heart disease..The study was closely watched because Zetia and Vytorin have racked up $5 billion in sales despite limited proof of benefit. Two Congressional panels launched probes into why it took drugmakers nearly two years after the study’s completion to release results."(MSNBC)

Who would of thought, the reason why the truth couldnt come out was because of the clotting agent...Money. I hope the patients that were subscribed this drug and brought into the scam win their lawsuit. This is a blatant example of a scam, the drug makers new it was ineffective yet misrepresented its effectiveness for atleast 2 years.
Lawsuits claim drugmakers misled consumers about effectiveness(MSNBC)
