Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

vegetarian chili

Dude, vegetarian chili, that's a sure way to turn the kids into tofu eating, tree hugging, gun hating, gay loving, Bible burning, species saving, evolution believing, carbon reducing, socialist supporting, bilingual approving, feminist, communist, atheist, nazi, hippies.

Edited because I forgot to apply Godwin's law.

hip deep in pie

Karl Marx invented the grill cheese as a tool of indoctrination.

Also, a zombie outbreak (with Ottawa as ground zero) would wipe out humanity in ten days.

Well half the people in Ottawa are zombies already, they're just probably waiting for the signal to attack.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am also going to get some cinder blocks to put in the trunk.

Suzi, get kitty litter. Big bags of clay kitty litter. As a bonus, if you get stuck in the snow, you an spread the litter on the ground & get traction. (Sand will also work, but is not so available at your local Safeway.)

Suzanne Somers' New Target: Chemotherapy

NEW YORK (AP) – Suzanne Somers is at it again.

Less than a year after the former sitcom actress frustrated mainstream doctors (and cheered some fans) by touting bioidentical hormones on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," she's back with a new book. This one's on an even more emotional topic: Cancer treatment. Specifically, she argues against what she sees as the vast and often pointless use of chemotherapy.

Somers, who has rejected chemo herself, seems to relish the fight.

"Cancer's an epidemic," said the 63-year-old actress in an interview in a Manhattan hotel a day before Tuesday's release of "Knockout," her 19th book. "And yet we keep going back to the same old pot, because it's all we've got. Well, this is a book about options.

"I'm 'us'," Somers adds. "I'm not them. I've been on the other side of the bed. And it's powerful to have information."

The American Cancer Society is concerned.

"I am very afraid that people are going to listen to her message and follow what she says and be harmed by it," says Dr. Otis Brawley, the organization's chief medical officer. "We use current treatments because they've been proven to prolong life. They've gone through a logical, scientific method of evaluation. I don't know if Suzanne Somers even knows there IS a logical, scientific method."

More broadly, Brawley is concerned that in the United States, celebrities or sports stars feel they can use their fame to dispense medical advice. "There's a tendency to oversimplify medical messages," he says. "Well, oversimplification can kill."
