Eat your hearts out Health Nazis!
I knew someday the medical professionals would back me up. My lifestyle isn't all that bad, they now say.
Red Wine -- (had a bottle of Red Truck last night and I recommend it!) --drinking is a deterrent for lung cancer. So, I can smoke and drink my red wine and stay quite healthy. Also, new research shows that drinking alcohol of any sort can help stave off Alzheimer's disease. My mental state will not decline nor will my lungs grow tumors if I just keep up my very pleasant and enjoyable habit of a big fat glass of red wine and a most aromatic cigarette smoldering in the ash tray.
Screw you PBS
PBS, the U.S. network that carries the animated series, "Postcards from
Buster" has decided not to air an episode featuring a lesbian couple, following
complaints from the U.S. secretary of education, Margaret Spellings.
The series, co-produced by Montreal's Cinar Animation, centers on the encounters of Buster the bunny, during his travels. In this particular episode, Buster meets up with a girl living in Vermont who happens to have two mothers.
That has bothered Spellings. Her complaint is that many parents in the U.S. do not
want their children exposed to alternative lifestyles, especially when tax
dollars are paying for the programming. My feelings are:

- You expect crap like this from Spellings, but not PBS.
- You can bet your bippy PBS has seen the last of my donations.
- Congratulations to Buster for his non-descriminatory ways.
- Obviously everyone is afraid of King George and his crusaders.

That's it! I'm boycotting PBS. What's wrong with people? Is the almighty dollar so powerful that even the hint of trouble with subscribership could be enough to render my old favorite obsolete? Is there no place for free thinking, inclusionary expression???
I think it's even more powerful than the dollar - it has to do with White House pressure which comes from the christian way-out-there right who elected Him.
PBS is bending at the slightest whisper from government pressure and no longer has a purpose under the sun if it continues to take the road of the toady.
PBS might as well change its initials to CBS as in Christian Broadcasting System or Cowardly Broadcasting System.
