Grandma and the National Guard, Hubert Wilson

Grandma and the National Guard

Yet another dangerous grandma headed to the border.
Seems her Medicare prescription plan is also in such disorder!
Deadlines, penalties, and plan confusion.
Her Medicare health plan is just an illusion!
She must again leave her own nation
Just to get her medication!
Prescription drugs in Mexico so much cheaper.
With Medicare - in her pocketbook she must dig deeper!
Forced to become a lawbreaker geriatric.
Understanding Medicare plans makes her psychiatric!
No rational middle ground
Can anywhere be found!
Grandma tried for answers in many a telephone call.
All she got was a stall!
Now, to her utter dismay -
Her telephone is monitored 24-7 by the NSA!
Will the old lady by the National Guard be caught
Because of the cheaper medication she bought?
Will the National Guard search her full body
Because of what Medicare does now embody?
Will Grandma become a Cheney stuffed trophy 'quail'
Because of her medication sale?

Bosnian Pyramids - Visocica Hill, which is 2,300 feet high, is actually Europe's first pyramid in heart of Bosnia

Meet the Ultimate Fake

The Most Powerless Man in the World

US President George W. Bush isn't known for his willingness for giving interviews, but he recently sat down with German TV presenter Sabine Christiansen for 30 minutes. He answered her questions readily -- but also showed that he's become little more than a spectator of his own political decline.

Not One Drop

Not One Drop


George Bush has no intention of obeying international law or following the United Nation’s rules. After his Iran resolution fails in the Security Council, he’ll resume his belligerence while trying to cobble together a coalition for sanctions. The media has already begun the disinformation campaign; stressing the “serious concerns” of the international community about Iran’s nuclear programs.

It is 100% bunkum.

FrinkTank � Science-In-Action

FrinkTank � Science-In-Action: "Apparently, Japanese doctor and former videogame-hater Dr. Ryuta Kawashima and Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata put some actual research behind Brain Age. Kotaku blogger Brian Crecente dug a bit deeper in the Rocky Mountain News:

Both the study and the game were built around the use of real-time imaging of the brain, which can track which portions of the brain are being used while people are doing different things. In 2001, Kawashima said the imaging showed that playing games doesn’t use the prefrontal cortex, where learning, memory, emotion and impulse control take place. Instead, only the portions of the brain used for movement and vision were used. But the brain games, Kawashima claims, exercise those frontal lobes."

FrinkTank � Researchers prove: Astrology is the new Christianity

FrinkTank � Researchers prove: Astrology is the new Christianity

scientists at the University of Aarhus in Denmark recently completed a study that should’ve been called, “Hey Asshole, The Universe Doesn’t Revolve Around You.” I don’t know what it actually was called, but research found that no correlation exists between human characteristics and astrology. Shit, someone give me a research grant. I’m going to prove once and for all that cats are furry. There’s much conjecture on whether feces is brown; I shall prove that it is!
