blushwood, Danica, Haiti

I kinda like the way that the internet gets things to one's personal computer faster than the speed of rumors. The research on the fruit of the blushwood shrub being a possible cure for cancer has a bunch of sites reporting the finding - this is an Australian bush and research.

The snows of Washington only elicited a footnote from the fact that the supreme court let employees go home early on Friday.

Iran and the rest of the world (excluding maybe China and Russia) are still at odds about their nuclear ambition. Gates is calling for 'stronger' sanctions.

Danica Patrick's new ad that was banned on the networks as being too racy will be shown on the GoDaddy site Sunday. I predict that probably the hits will be higher than the game itself.

The news usually has a lot of questioning stuff in it, no matter how strange it seems. Haiti is one example: as I mentoned yesterday - Clinton is the special ambassador to Haiti. Why is the country one of the poorest in the world? Drug use is rampant, gangs control the streets, with his influence? Hmmm With the child trafficing (politely called indentured servitude work) so high both internally and worldwide from Haiti, why has there been a blind eye turned toward toward this practice. And, why has an estimated only 24% of the people in need actually receiving the food?
