5 May 2008 - CYCLONE AND DEAD WHORES NOTES
|
|
10,000 Feared Dead In Myanmar Cyclone Government Warns Of Soaring Toll; State Radio: Almost 4,000
Killed, Thousands Missing. Myanmar's ruling junta, which has spurned the international
community for decades, urgently appealed Monday for foreign
aid as a cabinet minister warned that more than 10,000 or
more people may have died from a cyclone that swept through
the country. You see these damn people that are the government of this place
said fuck the rest of the world til a big damn ole cyclone
come along and got their attention. Now we will do the Anglosaxon
American right thing to do and save their asses. Do you think in
a few years they'll remember us for it? No.
"D.C. Madam" Suicide Notes Released:
Deborah Jeane Palfrey Wrote To Sister That Death Was Only "Exit
Strategy"; Death Officially Ruled Suicide By Hanging. The so-called "D.C. Madam" apologized to her mother and sister in
suicide notes released Monday, telling them she couldn't bear going
to prison for running an elite Washington prostitution ring and saw
killing herself as the only "exit strategy." "I cannot live the next 6-8 years behind bars for what you and I have
come to regard as this 'modern day lynching,' only to come out of prison
in my late '50s a broken, penniless and very much alone woman," Deborah
Jeane Palfrey wrote in the note to her 76-year-old mother, Blanche. Palfrey, 52, hanged herself with a nylon rope Thursday in a shed outside
her mother's mobile home in the Florida Gulf Coast community of Tarpon
Springs, northwest of Tampa. Her mother discovered the body. She was free while she awaited sentencing on July 24 and had been staying
with her mother. Her suicide appeared to be premeditated. The note to her mother was dated
April 25, nearly a week before she killed herself. Police said the notes
were found on a night stand in the bedroom where she'd been staying.
One of the notes said, "Do not revive. Do not feed under any circumstances." In the note to her younger sister, Bobbie, Palfrey expressed her love
and told her to "be strong for mom."

5 May 2008 - WAL-MART GETTING IT RIGHT!
|
Wal-Mart Increases Discount Prescription Offerings, Offers
90-Day Supplies for $10The move marks the third phase of $4 prescription program, which
began in 2006 and has saved customers more than $1 billion, Wal-Mart
said. With the expansion, the company began filling prescriptions Monday
for up to 350 generic medications at $10 for a 90-day supply at Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market and Sam's Club pharmacies in the U.S. In addition, the company will add several women's medications to its
list of prescriptions available for $9, including drugs to treat breast
cancer and hormone deficiency. For instance, alendronate, the generic version of osteoporosis medication Fosamax, will be added to the list. Company pharmacies will fill 30-day prescriptions of alendronate for $9 and a 90-day supply for $24 at a
comparison of $54 and $102, respectively, that women previously paid for
the same amounts, the company said. Wal-Mart also will lower the prices of more than 1,000 over-the-counter medications to $4 or less in its pharmacies, company officials said. The
over-the-counter medication price rollbacks represent about one-third of the retailer's over-the-counter medicines. Included in the program are generic versions of versions of Zantac, Pepcid and Claritin. Since 2006, Wal-Mart's $4 generic drug program has expanded to every state, except North Dakota, where Wal-Mart has no in-store pharmacies. And many company competitors have followed the retailer's lead. While stressing that the expansion was designed to help customers at a
time of exorbitant health care costs and difficult economic times, Wal-Mart senior vice president John Agwunobi said the program has worked in everyone's favor. "This is the time for us now to begin building capacity," he said. "It offers (customers') employers potential savings. It offers the customers significant savings. It also offers us the ability to add capacity to our pharmacies without adding people."

5 May 2008 - On May 2, the Indianapolis Star endorsed Hillary for President
|

On May 2, the Indianapolis Star endorsed Hillary for President. Experience makes Clinton better choice in primary In this extraordinary election year, Indiana's Democratic voters have been presented with an extraordinary opportunity: Choose for their party's presidential nominee between a gifted senator from Illinois who has enthused millions of new voters and an equally talented senator from New York with years of high-level experience. It's been difficult for voters in other states to decide a clear favorite between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. It's also a difficult choice for The Star's Editorial Board, which recently questioned each candidate in person about key issues facing the nation. Obama offers an attractive vision for the way things could be. He speaks eloquently of hope and change. He connects with voters, many who formerly felt disenfranchised, on a level few political leaders have attained.
Clinton offers a clear-eyed view of the way things are. She offers nuanced positions on how to address the war in Iraq, trade with China and economic expansion. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable. As impressive as Obama appears, he is still in his first term in the U.S. Senate, and only four years ago was serving as an Illinois state senator. His inexperience in high office is a liability. Clinton, in contrast, is well prepared for the rigors of the White House. She is tough, experienced and realistic about what can and cannot be accomplished on the world stage. Clinton regrettably has pandered more to voters, particularly on gas prices, than Obama. Both have taken stands on free trade that give in to protectionism.
Clinton also was an integral part of her husband's political machine, which earned a reputation for flattening opponents. That factor understandably gives many voters pause about whether another Clinton should serve as president.
Yet, one thing is clear: The next commander in chief will take office at a time of extraordinary risk for this nation, both at home and abroad. The challenges -- including those posed by a sagging economy, rising energy and food costs, the gap in health care, wars in two countries and threats from Iran -- are complex.
On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is the better choice, based on her experience and grasp of major issues, to confront those challenges. She earns The Star's endorsement in Tuesday's primary.
