This is the big deal the Dems are whining about Santorum? e all know the ACLU is fighting for the destruction of sodomy laws, but this is rediculous.

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does"

Would You Like Fries With That? http://www.boston.com/dailynews/112/region/War_protesters_briefly_interru:.shtml

"Two war protesters smeared themselves with ketchup and cherry-flavored Kool-Aid and briefly interrupted a lecture given by a Pratt & Whitney Aircraft executive," the Associated Press reports from Worcester, Mass. But why oh why didn't they use Worcestershire sauce?

This story reminds us of Karen Finley, the government-subsidized "artist" who secured her 15 minutes of fame back in 1990 by smearing chocolate and other foods on her body. In a 1998 interview with the communist newspaper Revolutionary Worker http://rwor.org/a/v20/960-69/965/karenf.htm (caution: link contains some rough language) she explained that this had something to do with the Tawana Brawley rape hoax.

Back during the first Bush administration, people argued that without government subsidies to the likes of Finley, edifying, cutting-edge art just wouldn't get made. This seems to have been proved false, since it appears the Worcester ketchup guys were self-funded.

How funny, I've been thinking a lot about "geek" lately.

I've concluded that there are two different kinds of geek:

There is the knowledge geek, who is a endless well of useless trivia on some subject or another.

And then there's the kind of geek who is defined by an utter lack of style and social graces.

TORONTO (Reuters) - Shunned by travelers and banned from a cruise line, residents of Canada's financial capital were feeling like pariahs on Wednesday after an international health group told people to stay away.



Officials from Toronto and from the federal government in Ottawa angrily rejected a warning from the World Health Organization (news - web sites) that travelers avoid Toronto, an epicenter of a deadly flu-like virus known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and told the WHO it should "get its facts straight."


"The only way to prevent export is to prevent air travel," said Dr. Paul Gully, senior director general of Health Canada, the federal health ministry. "We challenge the WHO's assertion that Toronto is an unsafe place to visit.


But even as the officials spoke, Toronto admitted that a 78-year-old woman had died of the disease on Wednesday, bringing Canada's death toll to 16.


Canada is the only country outside Asia where people have died from SARS (news - web sites), which started in China's Guangdong province and spread from there.


Nationwide, there were 330 probable or suspect cases as of Wednesday. SARS has killed more than 250 people around the world and infected nearly 4,500 in more than 20 countries.


Issuing its warning, the WHO said Toronto has exported SARS cases and infected five people in a country it did not name. It also warned against traveling to Beijing and China's Shanxi province to help curb the spread of SARS.


Canadian health officials said the flu-like virus is not being casually transmitted in Canada and all known cases can be directly traced back to an original cluster, including two people who traveled to the Philippines and Pennsylvania.


"That's an exporter of sorts but not an exporter that should put us on a travel advisory," said Dr. James Young, Ontario's commissioner for public safety.


A spokeswoman for federal Health Minister Anne McLellan, said McLellan would travel to Toronto on Monday to discuss SARS with local officials.


"Based on the firsthand knowledge that we have of the situation in Toronto, we continue to be of the opinion that it is appropriate to travel to Toronto," Farah Mohamed said.


Ottawa will host an international meeting on SARS toward the end of next week which the WHO is helping to organize.


TAKING AN ECONOMIC TOLL


The unwelcome attention is taking an economic toll on Toronto, where conventions have been canceled and hotel occupancy rates have slumped to 10 or 20 percent -- levels not seen since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.


"Where did this group come from? Who did they see? Who did they talk to?" a visibly angry Mel Lastman, Toronto's outspoken mayor, asked at a press conference, referring to the WHO. "They sit somewhere, I understand Geneva, I don't even know where the hell they came from, and they make decisions.


"Let me be clear. If it's safe to live in Toronto, it's safe to come to Toronto. I dare them to be here tomorrow."
