The Tao of Bird Flu
31. I used to admire birds for their beauty and grace. I still do, but I have recently begun seeing them as carriers of disease and threats to mankind. After bird flu, I’ll never look at birds the same way again.

Political Notes
I was wondering why President Bush has been visiting India and Pakistan, but then I decided that he might have gone to India to check on all the jobs we’ve been sending over there; and he might have gone to Pakistan to look for Osama bin Ladin himself. Well, it’s possible. Stranger things have happened. He certainly wasn’t sightseeing.

Was this guy off his meds, or what?


Health Notes
In some cases, it doesn’t matter if you delay surgery for prostate cancer.

And, in some cases of breast cancer, treatment is not always necessary.

Are peanuts a healthy food? You betcha.
