Do you know how to cure a chicken-killin' dog? Now, you know you cannot keep a dog that kills chickens, no matter how fine a dog it is otherwise. Some people think you cannot break a dog that has got in the habit of killin' chickens, but my friend John Henry always claimed you could. He said the way to do it is to take one of the chickens the dog has killed and wire the thing around the dog's neck, good and strong.

Y'know there's something to be said about exploiting liberals for cleansing constitutionals.

(NO more reaching out!)
To: William Creel
She plays fast and loose with the topic... What I have read indicates that the appropriate protocols were followed for testing Vioxx. The data was analyzed in accordance with accepted statistical practices. When it became clear that the sample was showing a trend indicating problems the drug was taken off the market voluntarily, before the sample had reached the desired limits for full statistical significance. That is, Merck determined that that it was wrong to continue the drug on the market even though the results were not yet finalized because it would mean too great a chance that more people would die while taking it than would die under random circumstances (though not conclusively so)...
There was no cover up. Ivins implies that Merck was killing people deliberately and that they were being abetted by the Bush administration. She offers no evidence to support her assertion.
Ivins has no creditability... She is a Clinton apologist with a pure political agenda. Her columns are just propaganda, nothing more or less...

These are the kind of putrid ramblings that energize the GOP voters. I wish they would put it on the front page. It makes the election results that much sweeter to know people like her/it can't even control themselves in the face of the loss/ass kicking they got.

Who would you take,Molly or Helen Thomas?"
I'll take Molly. A degree better on the eyes because she ages better than Helen- who should be on the SciFi channel.

I was with a friend in Austin one weekend, and she pointed out Molly. I will never forget that smell. Please keep her out of Texas. Man, talk about bad ozone......someone needs to tell her to tie a rag on a stick, stand in a hot shower, and reach those areas she cannot see......

Well written response.
I must admit that, for me, the article did not invoke an analytic. I just had this image of a dead Molly tied to this liberal's neck as he was trying to read the newspaper...

Does Molly know what happens to a cow that can't put out sweet milk anymore?

I grew up on a farm, and I always heard that you can't cure a dog of killing chickens. I also heard about tying the chicken around the dog's neck so that it stinks so bad that the dog will stop. Of course, you can't stand to be around the dog, either. I also heard that it doesn't work. Oddly enough, I had two dogs that used to kill chickens, and both quit on their own. Molly's analogy doesn't hold up. But, then again, who ever said that she lives in the real world?
To: Welsh Rabbit
Her politics aside, as a Southerner, I've always found her contrived efforts to be folksy and "down home" unbearable to read... Well, she did go to Smith College, which is sort of in the southern part of New England (Northampton, MA), and then on to Columbia University, located in the part of Mahattan that is just south of the island's northernmost point, and then she went on to study in Paris, which is, as everyone knows, well south of Brussels. So I can't really see why it is you find her southern routine to be inauthentic...

I know the truth doesn't matter, but Vioxx was approved for sale in 1999 by Bill Clinton's FDA even though it was already known to possibly cause cardiovascular problems.It only took scrolling 18 posts to get to the info I suspected.
Molly's got mad cow disease.
To: eleni121
The Wall Street Journal followed the other fork, finding internal memos from Merck showing that company officials may have been aware of the dangers of Vioxx as long ago as 1996, including a memo apparently instructing its sales reps to "dodge" the question when doctors asked about the cardiac record of Vioxx. Much like they try to blame Bush for the Enron/Global Crossing/Arthur Anderson scandals....when the truth of the matter is that each one of these companies had been cooking their books years BEFORE Bush even announced his candidacy....NOW, VIOXX is all Bush's fault too, even though WSJ says they knew about these problems right about the time that CLINTON was starting his second term.
I'm not necessarily looking to blame Clinton, but JEEEZZZZZ, come on.
