“But Morissette’s video is armed with a provocative subtext that has people abuzz with debate. It’s a fascinating piece of video art, an inspired combination of satire, social criticism and career reinvention that is a signature artifact of today’s viral Web culture.”

Oh, and let’s throw out Cheney! Right into prison!

“…whenever any government official becomes destructive of the founding purposes, that official or those officials must be held accountable.

Because I believe the vice president’s conduct of office has been destructive to the founding purposes of our nation. Today, I have introduced House Resolution 333, Articles of Impeachment Relating to Vice President Richard B. Cheney. I do so in defense of the rights of the American people to have a government that is honest and peaceful.”

Yep, Kucinich re-introduced Articles of Impeachment against Cheney, like he started to do before that little news media orgasm over the tragedy at VT temporarily blotted out the media-engaged publics mind…

“Now, with respect to the president. I think that it’s very important that we start with Mr. Cheney. Because if we were to start with the president and pursue articles of impeachment, Mr. Cheney would then become president.”

…

“Years from now, people will ask, “Why didn’t the United States government respond when they saw this threat to our democracy? Why didn’t people inside the government respond?” if this doesn’t move forward.

And so this really isn’t so much, I might add, about the vice president as it is about who we are as a people. What is it that we stand for? What kind of government do the people of the United States expect and deserve?”

If there were a God, I’d ask him to bless Kucinich!

What can you do to help throw that fucking whoreson out of office?

Aspartame, unsafe at any speed dosage…

“A second study conducted by the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF) confirms the carcinogenicity of aspartame…

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener consumed by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is used in over 6,000 diet products including soft drinks, chewing gum, candy, desserts, yogurt as well as in pharmaceuticals, in particular, syrups and antibiotics for children. In 2005, the European Ramazzini Foundation published important experimental data demonstrating the carcinogenicity of aspartame. These data demonstrated for the first time that aspartame is a carcinogenic agent, inducing various types of malignant tumors in rats, even at dose levels currently considered acceptable for humans.

As soon as carcinogenic effects were perceived during this first study, the ERF began a second long term experiment, administering aspartame at low doses in feed to rats beginning during fetal life.”

Both studies show aspartame causes cancer in rats at very very low doses…what does it mean for humans? Well, not much yet other than I’ve never been one much for diet soda or artificial sweeteners, and I sure as fuck am not going to have any in the near future!
