Surprise! Surprise! E-mail Torture Messages Disappeared!

Shockingly, many of the e-mails sent by torture specialists within the Bush administration have vanished. (See today's New York Times.) John Yoo and Co., the young hawks who sought to emulate the Fox TV show, 24, have been practicing their "dumbfounded" look in response, claiming the messages didn't add anything to what is already known, sort of like the missing minutes from the Watergate tapes. Nixon would be proud.


Hey! Stephen Cobert, It Ain't the Bears You Need To Be Afraid Of:

Deadly bacteria are becoming more resistant to antibiotics. "[C]lassified as Gram-negative because of their reaction to the so-called Gram stain test" these bugs are beginning to proliferate, as reported in today's New York Times. The "supergerms are … spreading worldwide." Unfortunately, the drug industry is conducting very little development in antibodies. Money, as always, is the issue.

Where do people come by these bacteria? Hospitals. Your biggest risk for infection in the developed world exists in the very place where you go for treatment.
