‘The thermometer’s broken’
Of course, if it wasn’t coming from a company that has already lied, exaggerated or miscontrued so much important information, we could listen to their suggestion of a broken thermometer with a straight face: Concern is growing that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan is no longer stable after temperature readings suggested one of its damaged reactors was reheating. The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said the temperature inside No 2 reactor – one of three that [...]

I know so many people who need medical care right this minute and aren’t getting it that I literally can’t keep track anymore.

See “Festival Express,” shot on a tour of Canada shortly before Joplin’s death, and be amazed not only by her talent but by how nice she is!

Actually, she didn’t die from an overdose. Yes, she was drunk and high but stumbled and fell, dying from striking her head against the corner of a dresser. The Man wanted you to believe she (and Jim Morrison) died of an overdose, but she didn’t. I miss her, never-the-less.
