High Fructose Corn Syrup

I am more and more glad I started avoiding high fructose corn syrup because it tastes icky years ago… Child diabetes blamed on food sweetener (London Times) This has disturbing ramifications for most American children, really disturbing. Hat tip to Waldo Jaquith for the link.

Independent? Not!

The mainstream media needs to find a new adjective to describe Joe Lieberman, for you cannot be called independent when you are a wholly owned pawn of the insurance industry. Just because he was rejected by the Democratic Party of his own state, and is therefore not in either of the two main parties; that […]

Fake Steve nails it, again

I am not a fan of Mike Arrington; his babble in TechCrunch is often wrong; but he is doing investigative journalism here and digging to find out more details about why playing games on Facebook and MySpace can be hazardous.
