Bloomberg.com: U.S.: "New York City doctors have discovered a man with a previously unseen strain of HIV that is resistant to three of the four types of anti-viral drugs that combat the disease, and progresses from infection to full-blown AIDS in two or three months, the health department said.
``We've identified this strain of HIV that is difficult or impossible to treat and which appears to progress rapidly to AIDS,'' said New York City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden. ``We have not seen a case like this before. It holds the potential for a very serious public health problem.''
The case was diagnosed in a New Yorker in his mid-40s who reported multiple male sex partners and unprotected anal sex -- often while using the drug crystal methamphetamine. "

Question. [Do I win the $64,000 for posing it?]. If people get all up in the air because people smoke tobacco and cause health care costs to rise, what about sodomites who engage in behavior that is far riskier? Hmmmm?

News: "``This is the Abu Ghraib defense, that a few renegade soldiers are responsible for their own behavior and the commanders are not accountable,'' said Durbin. His remarks referred to claims by military officials that a few low-ranking enlisted personnel were responsible for the shocking abuses at a U.S.-run prison in Iraq. "

Ain't it just wunnerful? We Democrats are nice guys who don't say anything bad about you nasty Republicans. You are the ones who tortured the prisoners at Abu Ghraib, and are really terrible people and you gotta just stop saying bad things about us nice Democrats. How can you expect to get a long with nice people like us when you are liars and thieves and namecallers and nassty, nassty. You gotta quit callin' us names and things.

Does anybody see anything wrong with this? Read the article. The Democrats are in such disarray that now they insist that Republicans lay off attacking them. Reminds me of the little boy who ran to mother, "But it all started when Jimmy hit me back."

New Genetic Study Undermines Gay Gene Theory: "A study to be published in the March 2005 issue of the journal Human Genetics, and available online now, actually undermines the commonly held view that homosexual orientation is determined by genetic factors."

Don't believe the Bible, believe science. This is what we are told. Really? The scandal of the scientific community is the falsifying of research, sloppy research, and biased reporting. Freud falsified his data of female hysteria to protect a child-molesting colleague; Margaret Mead was the laughing stock of Samoa for her phony book on life in Samoa, science has laughed at "flat earth" Christians every since Washington Irving invented the idea. And so it goes.

Homosexuality is not a genetic issue; it is a moral one. It involves choices, not chemistry.

Galileo was not persecuted by Bible believers; he was persecuted by an antichristian church spouting the phony scientific theories of the day, which they had baptized into the Christian faith, just as many churchmen are doing today.

Check it out. Just remember that somebody told you.
