Researchers believe wine drinking leads to a longer life according to this news article. I read that article and I have a few problems with it. First of all, it seems these really smart lab guys did their research on worms and very fat mice. I for one believe worms and fat mice live long enough as it is. The only time I want to see a worm live longer is when he's on my fishing hook. And as for fat mice, well, I don't want to fatten up any of them around my house. I think these researchers could use their time and money more wisely by trying to find a way to improve the taste of spinach or lessen the effects of drinking too much wine. There is a silver lining to all of this research though. Now big fat winos will have the luxury of living longer. Mel Gibson will definitely live forever.

Saint John Kerry makes one last valiant try to lose the elections for the Democrats, sacrifices his own political career, martyrs himself with his own foot, hands his own head to the Republicans on a platter (again) . . . but alas, after all the Republican high dudgeon, from the president on down, it's all for naught. There's not even a blip in the polls.
