Food intended for starving hurricane victims…
was to be burnt because it was supposedly unfit for human consumption.
Jesus wept…

The news may be old, but it needs to be not forgotten.
Does absolutely EVERYONE have a gMail account?
It would seem that by the number of invitations one is being given to hand out to all and sundry, the level of interest must be dying off.
That said, I have 4 gMail accounts, and every one of them is currently carrying 100 invites. I’ve already given my friends the willies with gMail invites, [...]
No Free Lunch
You’ll notice I have added some new links in the sidebar.
I am always interested in what the drug companies are up to, given that those of us who work in health are always being inundated with gifts and free lunches during “education sessions” or “inservice training sessions” by drug reps who, not surprisingly, just want [...]

Lots of us thought he was well and truly shafted by his Party. The good old Labor Party in Australia loudly espouses loyalty and mateship and all that good stuff, but when it comes to lost elections, heads usually roll.

Well, not really…
I had completely forgotten I had put one of my lesser-known email addresses on a waiting list at WordPress.com in order to be able to use wordpress to blog my more “unsafe” opinions and remain relatively anonymous.
This morning, I received an invite in email and here we are.
