Learned about a local trend with the common council enjoying drinking...then, while reading some information on illegal immigration issues, I stumble onto an article:
"Diversity Is Strength! It’s Also…Drunk Driving"

Our Mayor is hispanic. Now don't go getting all crazy on me, I didn't make this stuff up! ; )

Why Won't the RNC Support the Base?

I just don't get it -- what's going on with the RNC? Didn't the recent elections show them what happens when they ditch the conservative base? It doesn't appear they're paying attention.

Karl Rove picked Sen. Mel Martinez to be general chairman of the Republican National Committee -- this Senator co-authored a bill that would grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Say what, Mr. Rove???

What I see is a party pandering to Hispanics hoping to get their vote. Why are they so afraid they cannot "get the vote" (no matter the race) by just being conservatives?

What the People Want...

1,500 likely voters were polled by Rasmussen Reports, June 7-8, 2006. The margin of sampling error for the survey is plus or minus 3 % with a 95% level of confidence. Results: 85% of Americans, including 92% of Republicans, 79% of Democrats, and 86% of those not affiliated with either party, favor making English the official language of the United States of America. I'd say that's a majority.

This is a totally non-partisan issue that the majority of Americans agree on ...

Drugs from Canadian Web Sites

FDA Warns Not to Buy Rx Drugs from Certain Canadian Web Sites
Consumers shouldn't buy or use prescription drugs from websites that have orders filled by Manitoba, Canada-based Mediplan Prescription Plus Pharmacy or Mediplan Global Health, FDA warns. The agency has received reports that these companies are selling counterfeit versions of 10 drug products, including Lipitor, Actonel, Nexium, and Propecia.

Agency Defines Term 'Whole Grain' for Use on Food Labels
FDA has issued guidance for companies that use the term "whole grain" on their food product labels. The agency considers whole grain to be intact, ground, cracked or flaked cereal grains (such as oats, corn, rice and wheat) that contain endosperm, germ and bran in the same proportion as in the intact grain.

Many 'Canadian' Drugs Originate Elsewhere, FDA Operation Finds

An FDA operation has found that 85 percent of imported drugs intercepted recently from four countries that were promoted as coming from Canadian pharmacies actually were manufactured in 27 different countries. FDA says the operation underscores its warnings that some Web sites for so-called "Canadian" pharmacies may sell counterfeit products or ones that are not safe and effective.
