Russian Leech Farm

Sounds like a metal band, doesn't it? English-Russia has a set of beautiful photos from a facility growing about 3.5 million leeches for medical use. Aren't they pretty?

Update: Be patient. The post has lots of pictures, so it may take some time to load.

Quit Smoking ― Now With Lasers!

from superpoop.com

There really is a company selling laser-weight-reduction and laser-quitting-smoking programs, which they claim work by "stimulating endorphins when the pulsating light is absorbed by the skin and cells at acupressure points." They're working now to find a way to add bacon to the process.

Some days are like that, and this is one of 'em

~ ~ ~ "Because Their Lips Are Moving" News Alert ~ ~ ~Palin denies she's the Biggest Liar of the Year, says that

death panels are in the Senate bill.

"The pending Senate health care bill, she says, calls for an Independent Medicare Advisory Board to find ways to cut costs."

Um, yeah, sure. Does this have something to do with FEMA Concentration Camps?

Could anyone have forseen this?

Experts say Palin told "Lie of the Year." Palin claims she wasn't talking about the same "Death Panels" as everyone else.

A new addition to the "Because their lips are moving" list:

The editors of PolitiFact.com have chosen Sarah Palin's "Death Panels" claim as the "Lie of the Year." Palin responded by denying that "her claim that health care legislation contains death panels...is the 'lie of the year'...or a lie at all."

"She was talking about, she now says, the Medicare Advisory Board, in combination with forecasted declines in Medicare spending."

The furor over "death panels" was sparked by a provision in early drafts of the health care reform bill for end of life counseling; Palin's Facebook statement mirrored the clamor of the right wing at the time.
