Of course I already knew this, but no one would believe me when I said it. When one has the ability to discern and understand what the signs on the roadways say, it's not hard to determine what awaits you up ahead. It's like walking down the street and being able to avoid any undesirable situation, like a personal confrontation with a criminal and you lose your wallet, identification, and possibility even being shot and injured in the process.
And so here's the verification by Bob Livingston:
In Birmingham, Ala., some doctors get paid
handsome sums when they prescribe certain
drugs. UAB Hospital now requires physicians to
report payments from drug companies including
speaking engagements.
Partial disclosures for yearly commissions:
Dr. William Bailey $250,365; Dr. William Geisler
$201,570; Dr. Warner Huh $91,275; Dr. John
Northrock $78,000.
So doctors are peddling drugs legally.

Is America the Land of the Free?
I wrote that the Criminal Federal Government people are NO WHERE near DC at this most crucial time when Katrina's Sister, Irene is ready to destroy everything in her path, even Washington DC. They all are hiding under their desk or dinner table thousands of miles away shaking in their panties afraid to show themselves. They're pushing their responsibility off on the States like they always do when they don't want to be part of the disaster and then blame everybody else for the tragedy.
I found this ariticle that verifies what I say which was written by someone who is more recognized as a published writer that I am. Not that I'm not a published writer, I'm just not "WELL Known", yet my writings have been found in other States than the one in which I write or have written. :P
So here is what Bob Livingston had to say:
The President and all 535 members of Congress
take oaths to uphold and defend the
U.S. Constitution. One has to wonder how many
have ever read it. They certainly seem hell-bent
on disregarding it.
Article 1, Section 1 says all legislative powers
are vested in Congress, which consists of a Senate
and a House of Representatives. That’s apparently
no longer the case, although I can’t find where
that was legally changed through an Amendment.
The Environmental Protection Agency
believes it holds legislative power. According
to U.S. News & World Report: “Two new EPA
pollution regulations will slam the coal industry
so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will
be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 per -
cent to over 23 percent, according to a new study
based on government data.”
There is no Constitutional authority for an
EPA, nor is there Constitutional authority for
Congress to cede its lawmaking powers to the
EPA. But apparently, Congress doesn't’t care.

The FDA wants Americans to remain fat, unhealthy and ignorant.
I got my September Health News Letter from Bob Livinston and in the section entitled, "Walnuts Belong in Your Medicine Cabinet" it told what the FDA did and it pissed me off even more with our great Loser Federal Government. But I'll let you decide, becasue I might be a bias tick.
So heres part of what Bob wrote in his column:
The Food and Drug Administration sent a warning
letter to Diamond Foods, Inc., because the packaging
“misbranded” the product, causing them to be drugs.
The FDA’s letter says in part: “Based on
claims made on your firm’s website, we have
determined that your walnut products are
promoted for conditions that cause them to
be drugs because these products are intended
for use in the prevention, mitigation, and
treatment of disease.”
The labels cited studies indicating the
omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts helped
lower cholesterol levels; protect against heart
disease, stroke and cancer; ease arthritis and
other inflammatory diseases; fight depression
and mental illness; and provide other health
benefits.
The FDA ordered Diamond Foods, Inc. to
correct the violations or face seizure of products
or court injunction.
Life Extension Magazine reported on the
letter in its August 2011 edition and cited a
number of published articles highlighting the
health benefits of walnuts. In other words, the
FDA is ignoring the science that proves the
healthful benefits of a natural food.
The FDA, which claims to look out for the
health of Americans, is doing just the opposite.
It obviously wants Americans to remain fat,
unhealthy and ignorant. How else to explain
an agency that ignores the science behind the
health benefits of natural whole foods while
allowing food manufacturers to get away with
the spurious claims they make on the health
benefits of processed foods like potato chips
and breakfast bars with simulated fruit
products they pass off as real fruit.
And it’s not just walnuts the FDA hates.
The FDA hates many natural foods like cherries,
blueberries, pomegranate juice and green tea.
All of these natural foods provide scientifically
proven health benefits, but the FDA ignores the
science and regulates whether and how those
benefits can even be stated on their packaging.

Prescription Drug Shortage Hits U.S. Doctors and Hospitals
If you though that it hurt when the nurse or doctor shoved that thermometer up your A$$ wait for this drug shortage that BIG PHAMA is gonna shove somewhere... And I believe that this is from this CRIMINAL Political Administration, backed and demanded by Puppet Master Soros.
Prescription Drug Shortage Hits U.S. Doctors and Hospitals
Lack of drugs has caused patient deaths, many at risk
by: Charlotte Huff | from: AARP Bulletin | August 5, 2011
Critical shortages of lifesaving drugs are threatening hospital care in America, delaying patient treatment and limiting the medicines doctors can prescribe and the anesthetics they can use to perform surgery.
In the past few weeks, several pharmaceutical giants have warned doctors not to start patients on some medicines because they can't guarantee a steady supply, and hospitals have begun rationing some vital drugs. The Food and Drug Administration had reports of 180 drug shortages as of July 31, a number that already surpasses the record 178 shortages reported for all of last year.
The ever-increasing shortages particularly affect older Americans because they undergo more surgeries and cancer treatments, doctors say. They also are more likely to have medical conditions that can make it difficult to find a suitable substitute when the drug they need is unavailable.
Recent surveys by hospital and pharmacist groups tell the troubling story. A national survey by the American Hospital Association in June found that 99.5 percent of hospitals have experienced one or more drug shortages in the last six months. Nearly half of the 820 representative hospitals contacted — 44 percent — reported shortages of more than 21 drugs.
Moreover, 63 percent of the hospitals reported that in some cases, patients didn't receive the recommended treatment; 10 percent said that problem occurred frequently.
Because of the shortages, "we've had deaths … we've had medication errors," says Michael Cohen, a pharmacist and president at the nonprofit Institute for Safe Medication Practices in Horsham, Pa. As an example, he referred to the case this year in Alabama where 19 patients were seriously infected and nine died because a standard, premixed solution for IV feeding tubes wasn't available, so a pharmacy mixed its own and it was contaminated.
Drugs now in short supply — often given by injection or intravenously to patients in the hospital — are prescribed for a wide range of medical problems including cancer, allergies, heart disease and infectious diseases. Shortages involve some anesthetics for patients having surgery and "crash cart" drugs for emergencies — like epinephrine injections used to restart the heart — and even electrolytes for patients fed intravenously.
Johnson & Johnson recently warned doctors not to start cancer patients on Doxil, a widely used chemotherapy drug used to treat ovarian cancer and multiple myeloma.
At the nationally known M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at Houston, the supply of the thyroid cancer drug Thyrogen (thyrotropin alfa) was so tight by mid-July that the cancer specialists began triage — giving patients the drug according to the severity of their case, says Wendy Smith, a clinical pharmacy manager there. The Thyrogen shortage, Smith says, "puts us in a new frontier where we are actually delaying [treatment] in situations where there is no drug alternative."
Beth Frank, who lives in a suburb of Dallas, was diagnosed two years ago with a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer. In June, she was scheduled for her third radioactive iodine treatment, designed to kill any remaining, scattered cancer cells. But the 50-year-old administrative assistant has been waiting two frustrating months for the procedure — now scheduled for mid-August in a local hospital — because Thyrogen wasn't available. The drug helps thyroid cancer patients avoid the sometimes severe side effects — including depression, fatigue and pain — of hormone withdrawal.
Genzyme, the manufacturer of Thyrogen, said it anticipates supply disruptions to continue into 2012.
Why the shortages of these critical drugs? The FDA says the problems mainly stem from manufacturing issues, such as drug production temporarily shut down because the plant wasn't sterile. Sometimes, though, the shortages are tied to disruptions in the supply of raw materials or to increased demand for some drugs. And, the FDA says, some companies have simply stopped making older, less profitable drugs, particularly older sterile injectable drugs.
When one company has a problem or discontinues a drug, it's difficult for other manufacturers to increase production quickly. The FDA recently asked manufacturers to report production problems or changes that might cause potential shortages.
Remedies vary but the FDA can work with other U.S. manufacturers to ramp up their production of a drug in limited supply or search overseas for suitable companies willing to import the drug. It also can help drugmakers locate new supplies of raw material and certify them for import.
The drug supply glitches, which vary from region to region and week to week, have triggered congressional interest because the FDA is limited in what it can do to solve the problem. Currently, the federal agency cannot require firms to report drug shortages, give the reason for a shortage or even provide an estimate about how long the shortage might last.
Some manufacturers voluntarily report supply problems, says Cynthia Reilly, a pharmacist and a director at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. But, she says, a pharmacist may not know until "they open the order they just placed and it's not in there."
That group backs legislation that would require manufacturers to notify the FDA of potential supply problems involving key medicines.
Meanwhile, the FDA is asking health workers and patients to report shortages to the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at drugshortages@fda.hhs.gov.

Data caps
Even unlimited access has its limits
Aug 17th 2011, 7:37 by G.F. | SEATTLE
HUMPTY DUMPTY told Alice that "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." American telecommunications companies seem to have adopted a similar semantic strategy when they use the word "unlimited". AT&T is the latest to join the bandwagon. It has just imposed a cap on unlimited mobile data plans for the heaviest users, soon to be followed by limits, and fees for exceeding them, on its wired broadband network. The deployment of zippy next-generation 4G networks, too, is hampered by outdated caps on usage many telecoms firms have and will put in place.
Verizon Wireless engaged in doublespeak of its own several years ago with its first-generation 3G offering, which the operator plugged as "Unlimited Broadband Access".
This is just a teaser of what's coming for your "Unlimited Data Plan" so go to the link below to read what's going on:

Where to put Obama's picture
George Washington, our nation's first president and leader of the American Revolution!
Abe Lincoln, honorable leader pulled our nation through its darkest time!
Alexander Hamilton, founding father, first secretary of the treasure and leader of the constitutional convention!
Andrew Jackson, "Old Hickory " fought the British in New Orleans !
Ulysses Grant, Union army general, lead the North through the Civil War!
Ben Franklin, Genius inventor, political theorist and leading author of the constitution.
Finally, we have someone to put on the food stamp!!!!!!!
Obama's policies will put more people on welfare than any president before him so this placement is most appropriate. Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an "honor" he richly deserves.

Obama clashes with Tea Party member
As ususal My Commentary comes first and everybody else follows:
Welcome to the government administration of lies...Did you think that I was just limiting this to the lying Obutthead adminstration? Wrong!! We've been lied to by all of the Hate American Politician Organizations (HAPO) since the death of the last Founding Father in the mid 1800's, sad to say.
Here's a quote that fits what I'm talking about and this was stated in 1776:
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." --Thomas Paine, The American Crises, No. 1, 1776
It sure is ashamed that only Three Percent of the men and women of the Colonial times stood up to the enemy, and guess what? ONLY Three Percent will do it again, because the other 97% of the people who claim to be Citizens of the United States are chickenshit losers and love the enemies of the United States more than loving the Greatest Country in the World.
How can I say that? WE the United States GIVE MORE to our enemies than to our FRIENDS, and demand NOTHING from our ENEMIES, but DEMAND EVERYTHING from our FRIENDS. Pretty CHICKEN SHIT if you ask me, but then that's the GOVERNMENT THAT YOU 97% love.
Nuff said, here's the story of another LIE from the Government and the moron who thinks his SHIT don't stink:
By David Jackson, USA TODAY Aug 16, 2011
President Obama came face-to-face with the Tea Party last night in Iowa, clashing with a member during and after a town hall last night.
Ryan Rhodes, a group leader in the Hawkeye State, stood up and shouted a question during a town hall, asking the president how he can call for more civility when "your vice president is calling people like me, a Tea Party member, a 'terrorist.'"
Obama, who had not called on the man, said the town hall wouldn't work "if you just stand up when I asked everybody to raise their hand. ... I didn't see you. I wasn't avoiding you. ... Please."
After calling another person, Obama circled back to address Rhodes' question: "First of all, in fairness to this gentleman who raised a question, I absolutely agree that everybody needs to try to tone down the rhetoric.
"Now, in fairness, since I've been called a socialist who wasn't born in this country, who is destroying America and taking away its freedoms because I passed a health care bill, I'm all for lowering the rhetoric."
After the event, Obama came up to speak with Rhodes.
It's hard to quote their conversation exactly because of the music, but Rhodes again raised "the terrorist" comment and Obama defended his vice president, Joe Biden.
Biden has denied calling the Tea Party terrorists. A House Democrat used the term during a group meeting with Biden over the debt ceiling debate, but the vice president denied news reports that he echoed the comment.
