My View From The Litter Box!

4 DAYS OF RAIN! and iam spent.

Greetings folks and welcome back to MVFTLB. As you may notice from the pic above, ive been working hard here ,getting you the news. Well not all of it but still.

Lot of news out there today too. A poodle steps down. The war still rages on in its insanity, and Iam gratefull mother nature has given my part of the globe 4 days of rain after going 5 weeks without any. So with that lets jump right in the mix and start it off with this,,,

Finaly some common sence in bill form may be passed.

It only took a few dozen drug related deaths but hey at least now the FDA is giving more pull to srcutinize drug makers and thier drugs even after they hit the market. We all remember the disaster of Vioxx that was used for treatment in arthritis. And then there was the heart attacks that normaly healthy ppl sufferd from after a well know cholesteral drug was oked and sat on the shelfs untill it was pulled. By this new bill if passed, it will allow the FDA to regulate and monitior drugs that have been approved and compare any repeated side effects . If found to be too common the drug will be pulled. Also it will speed up the approval process of other drugs that are used to fight certian types of cancer as well.

more tales of Docs getting big money to perscribe drugs via drug makers.

You have to admitt, the docs in this next articule were sly. Knowing there really wasint any study out or anyone policing adolesents who were given drugs by thier doctors to treat forms of mental illness of symptoms of mental illness, it opened the door for docs to right script after script and reap the profits it generated.

One psychiatrist treated a child of age 12 and was rewarded by the drug company with 7000 grand in exchange for promoting the drug. Other drugs out there that psychiatrist currently perscribe children are,Risperdal, Seroquel, Zyprexa, Abilify and Geodon. In the articule it states that over half a million children in the united states take such drugs that were not normaly designed for kids. Its seems the more drugs the shrinks perscribe the more kick backs they receive from the drug makers. Good real for any parent out there whos considering having thier kids put on meds for treatments of mental illness or other childhood developmental stages. Lets hope the US isint going to be the nation of kid zombies due to drugs not even approved for kids.

pretty easy to get a handgun, but will the new law passed stop such practise?

While its true that alot of folks from NYC were heading on down to the state of virginia to purchase handguns by the dozens and then resell em on the streets in NYC. Mayor Bloomberg of NYC took his fight to all states that have or had lax gunlaws and demanded they take action. Sadly it was only after the VT shooting spree that Virginia s Govenor passed a law making it harder to purchase a handgun. Now in a warning to NY state, the governor of Virginia is telling it, to stop sending down undercover p.i to score a gun deal while using a hidden camera and wire while posing as a so called ´´gun buyer´´. The State of Virginia Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell has sent a letter to Mayor Bloomberg and warned him that under the new law, which goes into effect next month, that if bloombergs men are caught , they will face federal charges. Lets keep our eye on this one folks and see it goes and what developments may arise.

box cutters on a plane? surely not you say,,

But yes, thats the case. It took place on A United Airlines flight from Denver to Dallas . A woman found the pack of box cutters inside a airbag sickness pocket where airline brochures are kept. The flight was delayed two hours as the pilot after learning of the find, decided no take off and brought the plane back to the loading area. From there it was boarded with law officals who rescreened the passengers and searched for possibly any more weapons. While the airline still has no explanation as to how a assortment of box cutters made its way on its airline, they maintaine that such things like this can happen from time to time. Sure makes me want to fly the friendly skys!!! Unacceptable and iam sure folks want answers and those found responsible for this too.

and so the madness starts.

Looks like lastnight was the night of a thousand morons. Spontanious riots happend overnight in germany in cites such as berlin, hamburg and rostock. Police were called to stop the crowd who were seen throwing rocks, bottles and lighting off fireworks aimed at the police. This is in regards to next month G8 summit meeting thats to take place in germany. Dont those fools get it? running around in the middle of night causing riots is NOT the way to get thier point across. If anything, it will put a bunch of ppl under even more scrutiny for thier beliefs. Id like to ask those rioters, hey you like football? what if there werent any police at matches and suddenly because someone didint like the team you cheered for, you find your town or self coming under attack by riots, and being pelted with rocks, bottles and have fireworks go off in your face? Amazing how the morons only like the police when its thier ass that needs protection. Grow up and protest the right way. And dont forget all the worlds eyes will be on germany come next month, is this the example you wish to have the media portray your country and its ppl?

This should make all americans feel comfy.

After the kansas ordeal and how it has not enough NG troops or equitment, Even Robert gates was forced to admitt that the nationa guard is facing its lowest troops and equitment numbers since 9/11. This not only involves kansas but pretty much the entire nation as a whole. Its soon to be hurrican season again, and now they spring the news that hey guess what,, we are short handed . Sounds to me like nothing more of a warning for ppl to make prepreations in the event of a natural disaster strikes. Because the goverment cannot gurantee it will be there to offer assistance after. And where is all that equitment and troops you might ask? IRAQ!

http://www.upi.com/Security_Terrorism/Analysis/2007/05/09/eye_on_iraq_why_cheney_failed/ The Sneer leaves Iraq empty handed.
Sure he said he was ´´impressed with the talks i had´´ But that basicaly boils down to going home holding his hand on his ass. Try as he might VP sneer couldint get the Sunnis and Kurds to have talks to help bridge together a much needed force in order to stop the violence and the current civil war going on in Iraq. I think perhaps mr.sneer should have concentrated more on Maliki s goverment and get those clowns to stop playing favorites and looking the other way when shia death squads come gunning for sunnis or kurds. But true to his nature, VP sneer was only there to make sure his dreams of oil were going to be ok and tried in vain to persusade those to stop the fighting. Face it VP sneer, the plan isint going the way you want. You wont get all that oil. Besides, isint halliburton stocks enough for you? Why theres enough money right there for your childrens children.
