A bit of history. The story is that in WWII the GIs used to steal the chocolate bars out of all the boxes of K-Rations and use them to buy (rent?) whores. Problem 2 was that fine chocolate doesn’t hold up very well in a tropical climate. Hershey’s set to work on it. The result was the “Field Ration D” bar, a chocolate emergency food bar that didn’t melt as easily and tasted like paraffin wax. Not only did the Field Ration D bar hold up in the heat, but it also solved the problem of the whores. A few years later Hershey’s created a slightly better-tasting heat-tolerant chocolate bar called the Hershey’s Tropical Bar. This the ancestor of all American chocolate. I don’t know about the rest of you girls, but I’m looking for a Belgian soldier. Hershey billed the Tropical Bar as “The Price of Freedom.”

PSYweb DSM-IV Diagnoses and Codes . PSYweb has a list of the DSM-IV Diagnosis Codes. Notice that there are a lot of psychiatric diagnoses caused by psych meds. This makes it totally clear that your meds can make you sicker , a good argument for doing the minimum meds to make you functional vs. medicating yourself into oblivion. The following are a few examples of iatrogenic (physician-caused) psychiatric disorders: 292.84 Opioid-Induced Mood Disorder Yes, pain meds can make you look like a bipolar. 333.99 Neuroleptic-Induced Acute Akathisia He’s agitated, let’s give him more neuroleptic.

The Media Equation – An Anchor Lets Down Her Hair – NYTimes.com It is telling that when the McCain campaign was looking for a soft place to land Governor Palin’s first interview, they turned to Charles Gibson at ABC, not Ms. Couric. It would have been fun to watch given the implied subtext: “Hey, Governor, I invented spunky; I’ve had a colonoscopy on live network television, so let’s get started on yours.”

Hey, Girl Scout friends! Now THIS is a knife. Get one of these bad boys and you can throw away your tool chest, cutlery, fishing tackle box, and corkscrew. Oh, and fire your auto mechanic. It’s all there. I can’t help it, I love to window shop at amazon.com. I have NO idea what I was looking for when I found this. I was thinking about getting one for hubby for Christmas as a joke. What’s really strange is that as I was typing this in, hubby came in with the Hammacher catalog. They’re selling one that has every tool Victorinox ever made. It’s about 5 times the width of this (and 5 times the price) and is simply bristling with screwdrivers for hardware that most people will never even see, much less need to tighten.

Sarah Palin: The Nuclear Option? • View topic – Sarah’s ethics – computer hacking The above forums are new, but I’m going to get on there and fill them with Truth. After the recent discovery that Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! account had been hacked, all I could think was “what goes around comes around.” I recently read a book by one of her friends that attempts to justify many of the unethical methods Sarah used to make it in Alaska politics. Too bad to give money to one of her friends, but this thing is a great resource. Read the nice version, then go online with dates and places to get the real story.

Sarah Palin: The Nuclear Option? It didn’t take long for a discussion forum to show up poking fun at Vice-Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin’s religion/political platform, or what little is known about it. As best I can figure out, she plans to nuke the lower 48 and take her throne in Alaska. Portions of the first major interview will be televised beginning on Thursday’s “World News with Charles Gibson” and “Nightline.” ABC will also air a special “20/20” at 10 p.m. Friday devoted to the interview. Update: The Interview.

The obverse of the Swiss 1000-franc note, showing the Grim Reaper. “I don’t know what money is today, and I don’t think anybody at the Fed does either.” Richard Pratt , Chairman of the Board of the Federal Home Loan Bank, 1982 “American democracy was founded on the principle, stressed by James Madison in the Constitutional Convention in 1787, that the primary function of government is to protect the minority of the opulent from the majority. Thus he warned that in England, the only quasi-democratic model of the day, if the general population were allowed a say in public affairs, they would implement agrarian reform or other atrocities, and that the American system must be carefully crafted to avoid such crimes against the rights of property, which must be defended (in fact, must prevail).” Noam Chomsky, Noam Chomsky on Anarchism, Marxism & Hope for the Future , May 1995 “Capitalism works because most of us have swallowed these two big lies...
