Clairvoyant Cat Predicts Patient Deaths



There must have been a good reason why the ancient Egyptians recognized something other wordly about cats. Pretty freaky. This talent, exhibited by Oscar, might in fact be one of those Stephan Kingish attributes.

“He doesn’t make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die,” said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday’s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

“Many family members take some solace from it. They appreciate the companionship that the cat provides for their dying loved one,” said Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.

The 2-year-old feline was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The facility treats people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses.

After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He’d sniff and observe patients, then sit beside people who would wind up dying in a few hours… More…

French People Disagree with Copernicus



Are the majority of French people really illiterate or just basically dumb? The answer may be yes if this video is a sampling of the mental horsepower of the average French TV viewing audience. The following video was lifted from the French version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Ok so you have to read the subtitles, but it’s worth it. Not only is this guy dumbfounded by one of the most basic questions most elementary school kid knows, but the audience seems to be just as dumb as he is!!


The Majority of French People Are Dumb - Watch more free videos

Two questions we would like answered: Is this audience a real cross section of current French intellect? and… Are we witnessing an end to those awful Polish jokes and give the Polish people a break?

Barack Obama Schedules Summit with Satan



Wondering if Barack Obama spoke without thinking during the last debate when he claimed he was willing to speak unconditionally with some of Americas most staunch hate mongers? Well, Hillary is all over him and like a cobra ready to seize its opportunity to strike, she is spitting right in his eye. You gotta love politics like this… Scott Ott today rips both of them in his latest satirical piece:

(2007-07-25) — Building on his debate remark that, as president, Barack Obama would meet face-to-face with the leaders of China, North Korea, Iran, Syria and Venezuela, the Illinois Democrat Senator today said that he also plans to solve “perhaps the world’s greatest problem” through executive-level bilateral talks with the Prince of Darkness, Satan.

“As I see it, you can’t have lasting peace without Satan’s cooperation,” said Mr. Obama. “We can’t keep following the failed Bush administration strategy of only talking with our allies. I’m willing to invest the time to find out if we have something the Devil wants that could bring an end to war and strife.”

Rival candidate, Sen. Hillary Clinton, immediately branded the comment as naive, and “symptomatic of Barack’s lack of experience in the realm of politics.” — as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Hillary and Obama Duke It Out



From Cox and Forkum:

The sparring began Monday at the CNN/YouTube debate, in which a viewer asked candidates if they would be willing to meet with leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea — whom the United States has called rogue leaders. …

Charles Kupchan with the Council on Foreign Relations said that Obama and Clinton were essentially saying the same thing, which is that dialogue is important. …

He noted that although the Bush administration took office vowing not to talk to North Korea or Iran, it reached a deal on North Korea’s nuclear program through negotiations and now is sitting down with Iran to talk about the violence in Iraq.

“At the end of the day, history suggests that only if we talk to our adversaries do we resolve disputes,” Kupchan said.

Actually, history suggests that we resolve disputes with adversaries only if we defeat them first (e.g., WWII), after all we’re talking about adversaries who openly advocate our demise. However, it is worth pointing out that Bush, Clinton, and Obama are all ultimately willing to talk to such adversaries as if they are rational, which is not rational.

It’s quite apparent that Barack Obama’s naivety and inexperiance caused him to step right into the trap laid by the caller. Say what you will about the You Tube approach of asking candidates direct questions, but this one really did uncover a high degree of immaturity in Barack Obama’s response that Hillary Clinton is milking till the very last drop.

Michael Vic Thrown to the Wolves



Here for your amusement we have selected three very special social cartoons lambasting Michael Vic for his “alleged” barbaric blood lusting behaviors. I used the word “alleged” loosely. The stupidity and naivety of some of our multi million dollar professional sports superstars never ceases to amaze us! :

More on the Michael Vic story in the event you have been in the dark. We wish the good people of Atlanta Ga. a fast recovery from their shock of learning about this latest episode in dysfunctional professional sports! The NFL should throw him to the dogs… literally. — [Hat Tip: cagle.com]for graphics

Acting Presidential Powers Returned to Bush by Cheney



(WASHINGTON) — Following several hours as “acting president” of the U.S., Dick Cheney voluntarily relinquished the title back to George Bush yesterday when the latter emerged from sedation after a colonoscopy.

Administration spokesman Tony Snow said the White House functioned normally during Mr. Bush’s procedure, and that having the vice president officially at the helm may have even increased executive branch efficiency by “cutting out the middle man.”

The vice president said he was glad to get back to his regular job of “running the country” and away from the added stress of both “giving orders to, and taking orders from, myself.” — as reported by satirical reporter Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Most Americans by now know that the President has had several polyps removed from his colon during a routine colonoscopy. For several hours, Vice President Cheney, was steady at the helm as the President’s bowels were invaded by physicians. It’s good to hear that the President now has his acting powers restored!

Uncle Sam Wants You (Quiet) Poster



Great photo-shopped poster representing a bill which was floating around in Congress this past week which would have protected a whistle blower from extraneous law suits for exposing suspicious activity should it later be determined by authorities as unfounded.

It is possible the measure will be taken up after the current recess.

Democrats had refused to take it up during their week of make believe pressure on the White House regarding the Iraq conflict.

Our over worked politicians squashed voting on the bill after the all nighter they pulled to lull their constituency into thinking they were doing all they can to end the conflict in Iraq by unilateral withdrawal.

Better luck next time. (With this bill to protect whistle blowers.)

In the meantime, while we are all being asked to be observant, make sure you have a good lawyer lined up before you actually open up your mouth lest you find yourself facing a lawsuit from the likes of CAIR for sharing information with investigators that might in fact be faulty. Sad.

Bush Ponders Royal Riddle from Queen Elizabeth



Here is something on the lighter side from one of our readers. Thought we would share it with you this evening. Almost wet my pants… Thanks Meg…

On his trip to Great Britain, George Bush had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth. He asked her, “How does one manage to run a country so smoothly?” “That’s easy,” she replied, “You surround yourself with intelligent ministers and advisors.”

“But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?”

“You ask them a riddle,” she replied, and with that she pressed a button and said, “Would you please send Tony Blair in.” When Blair arrived, the Queen said, “I have a riddle for you to answer for me. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child?”

Blair replied, “That’s easy. The child was me.”

“Very good,” said the Queen. “You may go now.”

President Bush went back to Washington and called in his chief of staff, Karl Rove. He said to him, “I have a riddle for you, and the answer is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child ?”

Rove replied, “Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine the answer, as no child must be left behind. Can I deliberate on this for awhile?”

“Yes,” said Bush, “I’ll give you four hours to come up with the answer.”

So Rove went and called a meeting of the White House staff, and asked them the riddle. But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them had a satisfactory answer. So he was quite upset, not knowing what he would tell the President. As Rove was walking back to the Oval Office, he saw former Secretary of State Colin Powell approaching him. So he said,
“Mr. Secretary, can you answer this riddle for me? Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?”

“That’s easy,” said Powell, “The child was me.”

“Oh thank you,” said Rove. “You may just have saved me my job!” So Rove went into the Oval Office and said to President Bush, “I think I know the answer to your riddle. The child was Colin Powell!”

“No, you idiot!” shouted Bush. “The child was Tony Blair!”
