ADD nightmare
Seriously, how frustrating (and silly) is this, that the DEA is keeping people from getting needed medication? Medicines to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are in such short supply that hundreds of patients complain daily to the Food and Drug Administration that they are unable to find a pharmacy with enough pills to fill their prescriptions. The shortages are a result of a troubled partnership between drug manufacturers and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with companies trying to maximize their profits [...]

Politics As Usual
Deep thought
Choosing a person to support for president is what it must be like in a women’s prison, and you’re trying to decide which guard to let fuck you — on the off chance that he might throw you the occasional contraband goodie. But you should never, ever forget that all the guards are on the same team. Bookmark It

Austerity!
Hmm. We already know austerity is the right thing to do, but What do you suppose will happen? Oh, I don’t know, you don’t suppose they’ll have a housing crash, do you? Nearly seven million Britons are risking a “spiral of debt” through using credit cards, overdrafts and payday loans to pay off their rent or mortgage, a major housing charity has warned.

Maybe they should think about that: A study by the Georgia Agriculture Department of the state farm workforce shows that finding legal employees with the skill and desire to do labor-intensive harvesting is extremely difficult. The reasons, says a report released Tuesday of the study’s findings, include the complexity and expense of government programs intended to help farmers employ guest workers, and the physically demanding nature of many [...]

Meteor shower
Tonight: If you snooze you’ll lose Wednesday morning, when a little known but active meteor shower will start 2012 for people stalwart enough to brave the chilly hours before dawn. The Quadrantids, named for a now-extinct constellation, will be visible for two hours early Wednesday, from about 3 to 5 a.m. local times. The shower is likely to produce up to 100 falling stars an hour, making for a good show. People across North America who stay up late enough, [...]

I’ve become so deeply cynical that I even question if this is true. If it really is at it appears then this is awesome to the nth degree.
What will Monsanto do, I wonder. Sick the United States military on Hungary? A drone bomb here and there, perhaps?
