Anyone out there? Been a little quiet on the email replies here. Guess I lost half my fan base. But, there is still one reader out there. You wanna see something that won't go away? Let's take a look at the Witch Lady.

Whenever the Loving Couple needs help, who do they turn to?
An unlikely treasure-trove of donors for
Clinton; By Peter Nicholas and Tom
Hamburger, Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
October 19, 2007
I started this commentary by pointing out that the Love Bird Pair go to the Chicoms, but that is too limiting. It is entire democrat party. Algore had the Bhuddist Temple fund raiser in Los Angeles and Obama, Kennedy, and Kerry et al received some of those funds from Norman Hsu (by the way, anyone hear about him lately?).
Something remarkable happened at 44
Henry
St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling
walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly
lighted apartment building with trash bins
clustered by the front door.
And again not too far away, at 88 E.
Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge,
where vendors chatter in Mandarin and
Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and
bargain-basement clothes.
These are the sweatshop laborers I guess.
All three locations, along with scores of
others scattered throughout some of the
poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens,
Brooklyn and the Bronx, have been swept by
an extraordinary impulse to shower money on
one particular presidential candidate --
Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
Anyone notice anything strange here besides me?
Dishwashers, waiters and others whose
jobs
and dilapidated home addresses seem to
make them unpromising targets for political
fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000
contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury.
In April, a single fundraiser in an area long
known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a
whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry
(D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he
received $24,000 from Chinatown.
Anyone see what's going on here?
At this point in the presidential campaign
cycle, Clinton has raised more money than
any candidate in history. Those dishwashers,
waiters and street stall hawkers are part of
the reason. And Clinton's success in
gathering money from Chinatown's least-
affluent residents stems from a two-pronged
strategy: mutually beneficial alliances with
powerful groups, and appeals to the hopes
and dreams of people now consigned to the
margins.
Do I need to go on with this? Red lights, sirens and fireworks should be going off on this story. Do you see what's happening here people?
Clinton has enlisted the aid of Chinese
neighborhood associations, especially those
representing recent immigrants from Fujian
province. The organizations, at least one of
which is a descendant of Chinatown criminal
enterprises that engaged in gambling and
human trafficking, exert enormous influence
over immigrants. The associations help them
with everything from protection against crime
to obtaining green cards.
Where is the Broom Hillary getting money from? Worse yet, what will these people be demanding from her should she be elected?
It's quite simple here, this story is what I call a deflection story. What do I mean by that? The liberals are giving cover to her so that she can take and keep all this Chinese money. I think this is totally a whitewash job so that she can buffer away any impropriety and/or bad press from taking illegal donations. Why else would the L A Times go to such lengths to put up a 4 page article detailing this?
Take a look at it here folks, this will sell us out should the broom lady get into office.
It's panic time for all my male readers
Just like all liberal stories, this one as well is used to create anxst in people whenever they can.
(Take a breather there fellas, I know you're all nearing your last breath anyway.)
Viagra and other impotence drugs are
about
to bear new warnings that users may
experience sudden hearing loss.
(gasp) Gosh, I may have now lost the last half of my readership.
It's not clear that the drugs truly trigger
hearing loss, but the Food and Drug
Administration decided Thursday to add a
warning about the possible risk after counting
29 reports of the problem since 1996 among
users of this family of medicines.
Heaven help me!! Twenty nine in 11 years? Why this is almost epidemic. (Huge gasp!!)
Viagra's label already mentioned hearing
loss
as a possibility, because a few cases were
reported during initial testing of that drug. But
given that hearing loss is a risk of advancing
age and certain conditions, such as diabetes
and heart disease, that can lead to
impotence, it wasn't clear if the link was real.
Yeah, right. Get us all in a panic state by saying that it's Viagra, and then casually mention that age, heart, and other problems just might be the cause.
"We don't know enough to say that it's
ironclad caused by the drugs, but we see
enough to say we can't ignore it either," he
said.
Enough to say it can't be ignored?? Hell, more men probably killed themselves running to the bathroom cabinet to get the stuff than those who lost their hearing in the last 11 years. You wanna know my take on this? These 29 cases were self-imposed hearing loss. These guys just didn't want to hear their wives complaining about their performance after having taken the stuff.
