Washington in Washington???

Is this the official governmental form of CRANIO-RECTAL INVERSION, or just you-know-who perversion?

Beware The Deformed Vegetables

Deformed Vegetables, Fruit Reportedly Pop Up Around Japan Nuclear Plant

You might not want to eat your vegetables for an entirely new reason after seeing some strange fruit and veggies that reportedly have turned up in villages surrounding Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Images of the bizarrely deformed flora - which range from tomatoes with tumor-like growths to monstrous cabbage and conjoined peaches - turned up on the website Imgur this week, with the title, "Effects from the Fukushima radiation disaster?"

Timothy Mousseau, a biology professor at the University of South Carolina who is currently studying fauna in Fukushima, told ABCNews.com that there is some evidence for increased mutations in the area, but that the images that have emerged online would need follow-up studies to be confirmed as legitimate.

"We have seen some evidence of increased mutation rates in plants and barn swallows in Fukushima, but we have not had the funding to do the sort if rigorous science that is necessary to examine such questions in a convincing manner," he said. "The vegetable photos are suggestive but, What Me Worry? at present, are only anecdotal. Follow-up studies need to be conducted by qualified researchers to verify the validity of these observations."

Last year, Japanese scientists said that "abnormalities" detected in the country's butterflies may be a result of radioactive fallout from the Fukushima disaster. Researchers said that "artificial radionuclides" from the stricken power plant caused "physiological and genetic damage" to pale grass blue butterflies.

Five months after the disaster, cesium 137 and 134 were detected in more than a dozen bluefin tuna caught near San Diego. The levels were 10 times higher than tuna found in previous years.

The World Health Organization What Me Worry released a report in February saying that "for the general population inside and outside of Japan, the predicted risks are low and no observable increases in cancer rates above baseline rates are anticipated."

My San Onofre Nuc Plant is shut down never to re-open.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and your shoddy workmanship

Moi, have you invested in Geiger counter already? By your news it is an essential device for doing grocery shopping.

To add... Two heads are good, but safe nuclear energy is better.

For Those Who Can't Get Enough Hillary, REJOICE

NBC to air Hillary Clinton miniseries

July 27, 2013

Diane Lane will star, and the action will begin in 1998.

As Hillary Clinton is widely expected to make a second presidential run in 2016, NBC is planning a sure-to-be-controversial miniseries about the former first lady and secretary of State.

Diane Lane (Unfaithful how synchronistic) will star in the project, which has yet to cast an actor to play the former president. But it will begin in 1998, midway through Bill Clinton's second term, when the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal engulfed the family.

Will NBC run afoul of campaign laws that require equal time for presidential candidates?

Not if the network gets the project on in a hurry. Anyone smell circumventing election laws?

"She's not going to probably declare her candidacy for two more years," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said, "so this could well have aired before that."

I will offer to ship special hankies at no profit to me. PM interests.

I know some of you will need them.

Remember Managed Care?

Some doofus telling the doctor whether he may or maynot have that ultrasound study

but by all means final liability falls on the doctor who should encourage the patient enough to pay for it should the managed care consultant - of what education - refuse to approve the study.

Courtesy of Hillary Clinton and her HillaryCare.

OK Moi just because you know soooooo much, who was the first president to suggest national health care?

Please define, "National Health Care".

I reject ObamaCare is NHC. It is nothing more then a health care mandate requiring we all obtain PRIVATE health insurance - or else. Read me now and believe me later, the working poor will be dollars - poorer.

But, if you define a mandate as inclusive in the scope of "National Health Care", please let me know.

After all it's a matter of whether the words control the man, or the man controls the words.

Okay, Who? By your def.

I think Richard Nixon was the first to propose what is now called "National Health Care" ...

Most people think it was FDR but that concept is more like Social Security than what is thought of as a "National Health Care" System...

Most people think of "Single Payer" as a national system but that really isn't true either. Medicare is a single payer system and it varies from state to state because each state sets part of the coverage and the standards.

And what is called "Obamacare" and is being implemented between October and January of 2013/2014 is not truly national. It is a state-wide collection of private insurances with minimum care standards applied to all plans nationwide.

Dave, in the second paragraph you may have meant "Medicaid" rather than "Medicare". --FLO--

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I forget those two are different. I"m not on either and I am in denial of the upcoming transition. Hey, I'm still 25 or 30 and not old, yanno.
