We offer you another excellent view on the Republican approach to health care by Washington Post’s Tom Toles.

Here’s a product, of which we have never heard before, although it might be of interest to some, as we start still another decade of the 21^st Century.

It is called The Flat-D (flatulence deodorizer). According to the seller “is a high-tech filter that was originally designed to defend against chemical warfare. It was used in chemical warfare suits”.

What caught our immediate attention was the fact that one of the Flat-D’s selling points is that it provides protection for our friends. The sellers say in fact:  “Protect your friends, family and coworkers from your gas with the Flat-D. Then you can enjoy your guilty pleasure without losing those important people in your life.”

We realize that many of us might have and even indulge in all kinds of guilty pleasures, but this kind of a pleasure is certainly news to us.

As related to our previous story, these butt filters might come in useful, when security concerns force us to fly butt-naked.  As such, they might be the only “garment” allowed on board passenger aircraft. Better than nothing, we suppose…Filtering out the methane might also do wonders in reducing our CO2 emissions and fight global warming. What a product!!!

Not having had the opportunity to field-test the Flat-D, we would like to include some of the customer reviews, from the seller’s website:

“My girlfriend got these for me (thanks a lot, right?!) but … they really diffuse the smell of gas. Now all I eat is beans, and no one is the wiser.”

“It works great, ideal for nervous travelers. Capture efficiency is impressive but like everything, it has it’s limits. After snacking on a bag of bing cherries and having Indian food for dinner rich in lamb, raisins, and cumin; I discovered this insert has limits.”

It has limits?! You might have to use two, or even three Flat-Ds, buddy!

“I am back for more. I’m a gassy dude, and these filters really help. Now they just need to make one that buffers the noise.”

“These filters are great! will you be coming out with something for sharts (sic), maybe like a thin diaper?”

Much has been said and heard about Tiger Woods crashing his Caddillac Escalade (which, by the way, still belongs to General Motors)  through a fire hydrant and into a tree.

As most of you have also heard, the rumor goes that Tiger’s wife Elin Nordegren after hearing the crash outside their Florida house went to her husband’s aid and smashed the rear window with (what else?) a golf club, to allow him to escape the wreck.

Another rumor says that Elin was the one who scratched Tiger’s face, after hearing news about his affair with Rachel Uchitel – a Manhattan hostess who lost a fiancé in the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Tiger admits on his website that  “As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I’m pretty sore.

This situation is my fault, and it’s obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I’m human and I’m not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

Woods, who was expected to host and play in the 2009 Chevron World Challenge golf tournament this week, canceled his participation, citing the injuries he incurred in the accident.

Wherever the truth might lie, there is no doubt that Tiger has ceased to be the media virgin he has been up to this point.

And in closing we would like to present another excellent cartoon on the subject by Washington Post’s Tom Toles.

There are probably numerous reasons to both like and hate Russia.

There certainly is no shortage of Russians who like to have a good time. Even though their definition of a good time might be quite different from yours.  Click on the video and see for yourself.

Couldn’t resist posting this great video heralding communism’s great achievements in the area of automobile manufacturing. Our thanks to Harrison Price for pointing it out.

Although we haven’t seem much of an escalation in the war in Afghanistan as of late, the war on words between the White House and the conservative media blabmeisters appears to be escalating in a serious way.

Although it would be tempting, neither Glenn Beck nor Rush Limbaugh can be ignored. After all, they do have sizable audiences and loyal following and even the president of the United States acknowledges their existence.

That’s where the problem seems to lie.

White House communications director Anita Dunn has recently called Fox News an extension of the Republican Party.

But, each and every time the president or one of his people mentions Beck or Limbaugh, both of them enjoy increased ratings and moollah.

Although it doesn’t happen often, Limbaugh and Beck occasionally get some facts right, but many people watch and listen to their shows mainly for entertainment, not really taking neither of them too seriously.

The totally unnecessary acknowledgments and/or reactions from the White House simply add to their credibility, ratings and popularity.

Just let them be, have their squadrons of loyal apes follow their idols, but don’t waste your time responding, as it would obviously be totally counterproductive.
