Yep, That’ll Work

In another attempt to ensure that Muslim’s feelings don’t get hurt by accusations of terrorist leanings within their ranks, the British have decided that prior to conducting any future raids against those Muslims who are suspected of conspiring to conduct terrorist acts, they will vet their data with a panel of Muslim leaders to determine if the suspected terrorists are actually terrorists, or simply mis-understood Muslims voicing vehement denunciations of Western culture.  In the name of community of course.

“Atlas Shrugged” - The Movie?

The idea of producing a movie based on Ayn Rand’s book “Atlas Shrugged” has been kicked around for years, and still is, evidently, being kicked around.

The most recent scuttlebutt on this project, if it would actually go into production, is that the character Dagny Taggart could be played by Angelina Jolie.

The Clinton Legacy

Bill Clinton, and his democratic cronies, want to construct a Clinton legacy.  Unfortunately, the construction of the legacy has been mismanaged by blowjobs in the White House, re-defining of the word “is,” and lawsuits.

Clinton’s most recent lawsuit travails involves a Hollywood producer, Peter F. Paul, who accuses the Clintons of “looting.”  Which isn’t that surprising of a charge considering the Clintons are professional job seekers.

Testing for AIDS, Too Late

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a recommendation for routine AIDS testing for individuals between their teen years to the age of 64.  This recommendation is perceived by The New York Times as

...the best hope to reduce the stubborn persistence of H.I.V. infections in the American population.

This is a patently absurd statement.  If an individual is being tested for the H.I.V. virus, and is found to have the virus, it is too late.  Routine testing only makes known whether you have the H.I.V. virus, or you do not have the virus.  Testing can in no measurable way reduce H.I.V. infections.

Is not the best hope to reduce the persistence of H.I.V. infections in the American population safer sex between individuals?  Prevention beats a pound of cure.
