the news... some op-ed pieces of my own

1. the world is my urinal?
A train driver in Berlin, Germany, apparently attempting to urinate out of a door at 70 mph, fell to his death (May). [Metro (London), 6-11-07]

2. sarcasm outing....
praise and sarcasm

3. uh... texas.... those guys are always weird...
new texas campaign

4. lastly... oh lastly... my favourite new prescription drug - mirapex for restless leg syndrome - which comes with the following potential drug side effects:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT MIRAPEX: MIRAPEX may cause you to fall asleep without any warning, even while doing normal daily activities such as driving. When taking MIRAPEX hallucinations may occur and sometimes you may feel dizzy, sweaty or nauseated upon standing up. Patients and caregivers should be informed that impulse control disorders/compulsive behaviors may occur while taking medicines

the commercials actually say that compulsive gambling, drug use or sexual behavior may affect users... wtf?? really? cuz restless legs seems a whole lot better than a drug habit... could just be me.
