Michael J. Fox
Claire McCaskill, the crazy bitch from Missouri who is running agaist Jim Tallent, also a crazy bitch from Missouri had Michael J. Fox do a video for her. You can watch it here:

In the video Michael J. Fox is bouncing around from his illness. Now it is all a big deal because he has admited to not taking his drugs when he does commericals or goes before congress to rally support for medical advances (stem cell research).
Rush called him out on this fact but I think it is fair for him to take himself off the drugs to show exactly what Parkinson Disease does to a person.
Ironicly, I have discovered that this is not the first time someone has 'bent the truth' with the American public. After years of research I have discovered that the Bush Administration 'bent the truth' on the weapons of mass distruction.
I have also discovered that many movie ads are will mislead you to believe a movie is good while it is actualy crap.
Why is it a big deal that someone with a Parkinson Desease would show people what it actualy does to a person insted of show what it is like when your on your medication slowly waiting for our body to no longer respond to the meds or to stop functioning?
More to the point, why does Clarie McCaskill suck as bad as Jim Talent?
My question is, if all the people against stem cell research developed a desease that needs stem cell research to correct would they suddenly switch sides or just die and leave us alone?
I can only hope for number two ;)

Thoughts for the day...
Today I read that 10,000 refugees from Burundi coming to U.S. I asked a friend if he had any space. He said a little and he could really use some help around the house. You know, cleaning, lawn care, etc.
----------------------------------------------------
This morning I realized that the Cardinals were not playing in the world series (after thinking that for the last few days). This realization occurred after I remembered that the Mets and the Cards are both in the National League and it seemed weird that two National League teams were playing in the World Series.
----------------------------------------------------
Last night I was playing World of Warcraft (a multiplayer online world) and I had taken my low level (18) character from the “Horde” side and charged him across the world past things that he should not see for the next 40 levels to assist in completing a quest for my higher (level 60) “Alliance” character.
Anyway, my little guy died about 30 times trying to get to where I needed to be, so the trip was really: run, die, ghost back to where I died, run die, resurrect in a grave yard closer to where I need to go, run, die, ghost back to where I died, run die, ghost back to where I died, wash rinse repeat.
It took about 45 minutes to get where I was going, by the time I got there my character was basically naked because his stuff had suffered so much damage. But it didn’t matter, I wanted to get this quest off my list and I was determined to make it happen.
So, I finally get to where I am going. I toss up my little pvp flag that means anyone from the “Alliance” side can kill me (since I am level 18 and they are all level 60 or so it only takes about 3 hits). What I had to do was stand in one location and wait while a tower was “converted” from Alliance to Horde.
Standing there I am not really paying much attention to the screen when I hear the sound of metal being scrapped over a sharpening stone. I turn my view and there standing behind me is a level 60 rogue SHARPENING up his blade to do battle with me.
About half a second later I am ghosting back to my body.
Eventually, after telling all the people in the area what I am doing; and ending up with other people that want to ‘capture’ the tower I take the tower for the horde and then recapture it.
All in all the plan went about as I expected it but I think I owe my Horde player an ice cream.
Note: the rogue apologized for slaughtering my horde character after I told him what I was doing. He figured he was going to get attacked by 4 high level horde members when he went after me. I even helped some other Alliance characters take the tower for their own quests. Yeah for me!
----------------------------------------------------
I heard a story about the Miami vs. Florida International fight… I mean football game from Saturday. The story was that the local police department had sponsored a “Join a team not a gang” night at the football game. I do not know if it is true, but given the fact that 8 players are suspended after that game and people were using helmets as weapons it might not have been such a great plan.
----------------------------------------------------
That is all I have for today… I am sure more fun things will happen soon. Till then, screw Flanders!

How was I missed?
