We gots the pig virus! And by "we," I mean right here where I live.
The Alabama Department of Public Health is supposed to fill us in with the details soon. But given this state's history, they'll probably tell us to pray and hold exorcisms for the afflicted.

Darwin's Radio: Prehistoric Gene Reawakens to Battle HIV
'The next great war will start inside us. In the next stage of evolution, mankind is history'.
Greg Bear, Darwin's Radio
About 95% of the human genome has once been designated as "junk" DNA. While much of this sequence may be an evolutionary artifact that serves no present-day purpose, some junk DNA may function in ways that are not currently understood. The conservation of some junk DNA over many millions of years of evolution may imply an essential function that has been "turned off." Now scientists say there's a junk gene that fights HIV. And they've discovered how to turn it back on.

Republicans Continue To Turn The Whackaloon Up To 11
Shouldn't SOMEONE in the Republican Party publicly repudiate this?

Movie Review: Frost/Nixon
I have never been so mesmerized by a non-artsy talky. Well, except for The Queen, which was written by the same guy. It must be watched to be believed: who knew the story behind Frost's interview of Nixon could be anything more interesting than vomit drying?

I Still Hate The Fuckers
The Alabama House of Representatives passed a bill adding homos and lesbos to the current anti-hate crime laws. They did this the same week they supported Ms. California for giving a technically wrong answer badly when asked if gays should be allowed to marry (read: use the same water fountain as tax-sucking breeders).
Even this victory is bittersweet: transgenders were not included. And I stopped giving money to the HRC for this very reason: they supported a national bill which included gays and lesbians but excluded trangenders. And the latter are the people who are targeted and victimized the most. In my raging, angry opinion, we all of us go or none of us do. How can any gay dude look a tranny in the eye and say, "Well, at least we're protected...we'll get to you later."
That said: fuck our House of Representitives sideways with a chainsaw. I wouldn't walk across the street to jack off on a one of them. And a goodly many might like that...

Perhaps the promise of space booze will get Congress to make space exploration a priority....

Galaxy's centre tastes of raspberries and smells of rum, say astronomers
Galaxy's centre tastes of raspberries and smells of rum, say astronomers
Finding amino acids in interstellar space is a Holy Grail for astrobiologists, as this would raise the possibility of life emerging on other planets after being seeded with the molecules.
In the latest survey, astronomers sifted through thousands of signals from Sagittarius B2, a vast dust cloud at the centre of our galaxy. While they failed to find evidence for amino acids, they did find a substance called ethyl formate, the chemical responsible for the flavour of raspberries.
"It does happen to give raspberries their flavour, but there are many other molecules that are needed to make space raspberries," Arnaud Belloche, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, told the Guardian.
Curiously, ethyl formate has another distinguishing characteristic: it also smells of rum.

Hopefully They Aren't Only About Boning Chicks And Getting Drunk
Researchers discovered 47 letters by Benjamin Franklin previously unknown. No word yet as to how much he praised Jesus throughout them, but we can all presuppose...
Outbreak!
Swine flu is spreading. Bad.
For the readers of this blog, that means business as usual...
"We are worried and because we are worried, we are working aggressively on a number of fronts," said Schuchat, the interim deputy director for the CDC's science and public health program.Wash your hands and avoid people at all costs. And if someone coughs around you, hold your breath and run in the other direction.
"It is clear that this is widespread. And that is why we have let you know that we cannot contain the spread of this virus."

You only use a grind or two on your food, so does it really matter what brand of peppercorn you buy?

Alabamastan, indeed
Honoring Miss California
Neal Boortz

The Alabama legislature has decided that they have nothing else left to do. All of Obama's stimulus money has been spent. All local Little League baseball teams have been congratulated. So now they are moving on to Miss California. The House approved a resolution praising Miss California Carrie Prejean for speaking out against gay marriage.
Now there is a great use of your tax dollars. Sure am glad there are no more pressing issues in Alabamastan. It's not that I disagree with the resolution, it's just that there are more pressing issues to deal with. Also .. the resolution should have said something about aftermarket equipment.
This story is useless without video, right?
