I saw Senator John Kerry's story in Newsweek the other day. He's talking about why we are there, and what we should do, and he points out that we are there because of Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is there because there is no place to hide in Saudi Arabia, or maybe no place anyone would want to hide. We want to stop Al-Qaeda, we need to stop sending money to Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is worse than the Mafia. They pretend to be legitimate business men, but all the time they giving money to thugs to make trouble. I don't know, maybe they are just being over indulgent parents to their rowdy offspring. You want to raise Jihad? Here's a couple of bucks, go on over to some other country and get all your Jihad-ing out of your system, then you can come home and be part of the "family".
Of course, the worst part is we know all this, and we keep giving them money anyway.

I found your blog after you commented on something at Quantum Pontiff, and find your observations refreshing, interesting and enjoyable! You now have a new reader...
A while back ("New Hospital Stuff") you asked, why Tylenol is "compounded" to narcotics? One answer is that tylenol has some better anti-inflammatory properties than morphine and codeine. Tylenol has some other good propoerties too but they don't relate to your question. Knocking down inflammation can not only reduces the discomfort, but may speed the natural healing process too.
As you correctly note, Tylenol is not without risks. But neither is aspirin. The following article (which I found interesting) suggests that aspirin contributed to the mortality rate in the 1918 flu epidemic: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/health/13aspirin.html
A new reader! That's great! Now I have two! Cheers.
