Pet news of the day. Raisins, grapes, even in small amounts, can kill a dog. From April 2003 to April 2004, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center got 140 calls about dogs that had eaten varying amounts of raisins or grapes. More than 50 of those dogs developed "clinical signs" ranging from vomiting to kidney failure. Seven of the dogs died.
Clemson news - Clemson University Upset by ESPN Report on Abortion and Scholarships. Officials at Clemson University in South Carolina are upset by the content of an ESPN investigative report showing that seven current or former students there had abortions in order to retain their athletic scholarships. The report said a school policy takes away scholarships from pregnant students but official contest that claim. Just by chance I happened to be watching ESPN Outside the Lines waiting for NFL today. Thanks to TIVO I was able to record the segment and will attempt to post the segment within the next few days.

Holy Crap of the day - Rapper (R. Kelly), still up on child porn charges, compares himself to slain civil rights leader. "I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today.

More influential mental giants support Hillary Clinton.
Jenna Jameson: "I love Hillary. I think that in some ways she's pretty conservative for a Democrat, but I would love to have a woman in office. I think that it would be a step in the right direction for our country, and there would be less focus on war and more focus on bettering society."
Jenna Jameson: "Absolutely. The Clinton administration was the best years for the adult industry and I wish that Clinton would run again. I would love to have him back in office. I would love to have Al Gore in office. When Republicans are in office, the problem is, a lot of times they try to put their crosshairs on the adult industry, to make a point. It's sad, when there are so many different things that are going on in the world: war, and people are dying of genocide...I look forward to another Democrat being in office. It just makes the climate so much better for us, and I know that once all our troops come home, things are going to be better and I think that getting Bush out of office is the most important thing right now."
The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday that he will try to bar Ron Paul from future GOP presidential debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were the fault of U.S. foreign policy. -Story- "Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," Paul said. Although I think what he said may be stupid is barring him from saying it the proper response, shouldn't the voters hear these comments and make their own decision?
