Don't eat the sushi.
How dare they go after the Asian Carp. So they're eating valuable plankton and nutrients from the lakes. They need to live too. Although the name of the fish is somewhat irrelevant, the species of fish has an appetite for destruction, eating surface algae and devouring the diets of much smaller fish who nurture the food chain for larger fish.
See story containing this clip...State officials are waging chemical war today on Asian carp in a six-mile stretch of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near Romeoville, a last-ditch effort to contain the spread of the invasive fish into Lake Michigan.
Asian Carp Jumping: Rolf Simonson
The dreaded Asian carp sting will take place tonight. Tribune reporter Joel Hood states, "The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is planning to launch an unprecedented fish kill by dumping gallons of the toxin rotenone into the Sanitary and Ship Canal. Rotenone, used by wildlife officials for decades to eradicate invasive fish and "clean-out" watery habitats, is not considered a threat to human or other aquatic wildlife."
Will the environmentalist find an excuse for all of those dead fish in the local landfill? Do we have to call them Asian?
If this effort helps to sustain the balance of life in Lake Michigan, let the killing begin. Some of my best friends are Asian, but our worst enemy could be the Asian carp.

I'm debating on whether I should take the flu and pneumonia shots. Around Halloween each year, I waffle over getting stuck in the arm for an illness that I may not get in the first place. But, that's what insurance is for I guess. H1N1 shots are available so I guess later this week I'll see my doctor for the vaccine.
Should I go nasal or needle? I will take the one that you suggest. Which one did you choose?
Town hall meetings have turned into yelling matches as Americans are squaring off on universal healthcare's advantages and disadvantages. Let's make it plain. If you have good health care, keep it. If you don't, then you better put on your socialist hat. With 1,737,900 Illinois residents currently not having health insurance, a socialist approach may be the answer. Here's my cancer survival photo after surgery on my aorta. Thank God for good insurance, because without it, I wouldn't be blogging now. See parent of Blue Cross Illinois job cuts.

There are 565,800 Illinois residents who currently purchase insurance in the individual insurance market. If 1.7 million don't have insurance, where will they get their care and how will they pay for it?
And what about contractors, freelancers, 1099 workers, part-timers, and small business owners? Do they not deserve healthcare, while still contributing their taxes to the good 'ole USA?
It is looking devilish at the Town Hall meetings, with citizens shouting at the top of their lungs over items they haven't even read in the healthcare plan. 12.6 million Americans under the age of 65 can't get healthcare due to a pre-existing condition. So what we've done is drawn a line in the sand - "the haves" and "have nots." The "sick" and the "sick nots." Good job, good benefits, and a nice salary ensure adequate insurance. The inverse ensures anxiety, sickness, and healthcare being based on social class.
I'm going to stick with Obama on this one. The "haves" have nothing to worry about other than a slight tax increase. The "have nots" have everything to lose if we don't insure everyone. Michael Moore: please put Sicko back in theaters.
Eating properly, exercising, and brushing our teeth are instrumental in mainatining good health. CLTV celebrates Juneteenth and the Freedom to Choose with Dr. Ron Schefdore on tonight's show. Tune into Garrard McClendon Live at 6:30 p.m. on CLTV.
