A New Cancer Treatment ?

When I speak of thinking outside of the box, this man is a great example.

John Kanzius had no medical background and never completed college. He had been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Less than two years later he came up with the idea of using radio waves to target and treat cancer by injecting a hot dog with copper sulfate and subjecting it to radio wave generating machine he had built. The treated part of the hot dog got hot.

It has been discovered that antibody laced nanoparticles of gold attach themselves attach themselves to the cancer cells, providing the "antenna" for the radio waves to heat and kill the cancer cells.

There are still many questions and years of tests but this could be one of the most promising steps forward for a cancer cure.

If that wasn't enough, while testing his theory,  Mr. Kanzius discovered another use for his radio wave generator. Salt water burns! This opens up a new potential energy source. This also provides a link to desalination of salt water and decontaminating polluted water.

Four uses discovered for a home built radio wave generator.

WTF box are you still stuck in?

Arc Welder Built From Two Microwaves

WTF !? has this Crazy Old Man been doing?  Building himself an arc welder from some junk microwaves!

Take two microwaves, rewind the transformer secondaries with #10 wire. Stick the transformers in an old computer case along with fans from one of the microwaves. Wire everything together and use a car battery jumper cable to deliver the juice.

How easy is that?

Now why would I do such a thing? Because I'm a recycling, cheap ass old man is why. 

This little buzz box puts out about 80 Amps and cost about $20.00. 

It is also a lesson that you should learn. Always look at objects not as they are intended to be seen but what their possibilities are. Don't be normal, think outside the box and the bun.

You can find microwave stick/Arc welder plans using Google.

Obama's School Speach Will Indoctrinate My Child to be a Socialist Communist!

Terrorist ideas like Obama telling young people that all the work of parents, educators and others won't matter "Unless you show up for those schools, pay attention to those teachers."

How dare he say "What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future." and that if they quit on school, "you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country." What a communist!

"Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me," suburban Colorado mother Shanneen Barron told CNN Denver affiliate KMGH. "I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now."  WTF?!, Who does Obama think he is saying that everyone should have a good education? That they should work hard? 

It was OK for presidents Reagan and Bush speak to our kids, to explain to 4th graders about tax cuts to the wealthy. 

But crap like this? "I'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and to do everything you can to meet them," There is no reason to push our children so hard that they learn how to read, write, add up big numbers or any are exposed to any of that fake history crap!

The local school systems in SW Florida have decided that the local children education will not be wasted on seeing the presidents speech and have banned showing it in local schools. Right Wingnuts to the rescue again. 

It saddens me to see 12-20% of the population idiotic viewpoints lead the rest of us into third world nation status.

I am an American and I have a constitutional right to be a dumb ass! Better Right than Write!

Fox News or Fox in the Hen House?

 

WTF is wrong with the Fox News??

Ignorant people get more than equal time to espouse their beliefs, regardless of their knowledge or ignorance of the subject and they call it fair and balanced?

If you keep repeating stupid ideas long enough, loud enough and often enough, people will believe what you say.

Since stupid people tend to shout louder and lounger than people who have acquired wisdom and judgment, ignorance generally prevails.

Reality is no match for a good fantasy. Wise people research history and read original sources. Fools only check on the latest Fox buzz.

I have made some dumb choices I'd rather not re-live, but at least I learned from them.

What did you learn today and from whom?

Who Will Be The First To Pull The Trigger?

WTF!? Guns being bantered around town hall meetings?

Will America begin seeing the type of political violence that other countries endure? Intimidation, polling places being bombed, voters shot and killed. The American 2008 election had the largest voter turn out since 1964, just under 60%, ranking the US 35^th in world for voting turn out. And that poor ranking is without the violence other voter endure.

We already had a non-violent fixed presidential election in 2000 involving Florida Governor John Ellis "Jeb" Bush, the former Secretary of State Katherine Harris and the Florida Supreme Court.

“They can have my gun when they can pry it from my cold dead hand” Obviously these are people who do have health insurance.

"We're just exercising our constitutional rights." This would be the right as a member of a well regulated militia protecting the security of the Free State at town hall meetings?

Or are they easily per swayed intimidators for the insurance companies? Just as the “Brown Shirts” carried out intimidation against the German populace for Hitler?

I just hope that this is not what our political system has come to, Gestapo tactics verses intelligent discourse.

Where is the Stimulus Money Being Spent?

Interactive Map of the Stimulus Bill

This is an interactive map of the United States showing county by county where Federal stimulus dollars for transportation projects and their projected expenditures. Projects are divided by category. he map also shows population and unemployment county by county.

The economic stimulus is doing "nothing", so say the wingnut obstructionists.

That "nothing" means that our aging infrastructure is being rebuilt.

Transit funds to get people to school, work and around town.

Safer roads can save your life, what is that worth Mr. Obstructionist?

And the stimulus means jobs! Jobs mean more jobs for others in the community.

WTF does this mean to you? "Nothing" if you believe the entertainers on Fox News.

Republicans Say Screw Health Care Reform and You!

The Gutting of Health Care Reform

President Obama has said that, under his health care proposal, all Americans would have access to "Health care that is as good as the health care that I have as a member of Congress." Basically, the gov pays 75% of the insurance costs. http://www.opm.gov/insure/index.aspx

WTF! Why can't we get the same health care as our representatives?

You may be surprised to hear that the VA Outranks Private Sector in Health Care Patient Satisfaction and still costs 2/3rds per patient compared to medicare.

Over its 75-year history, the VA has created "The largest integrated health care system in the world and arguably the best," Nicholson said. Some 237,000 VA professionals provide health care to more than 7.5 million enrollies through 154 hospitals, 860 clinics and 200 veterans centers. These health care facilities are "on the leading edge of technology and safety" as they provide a model for the medical profession, VA Secretary R. James Nicholson.

But, sad to say, Obama and the Democrats are caving in to the far right wingnuts by gutting heath care proposals and for what? To appease Republicans who say they will never vote for any form of reform anyway!

What will be left is a totally gutted bill destined to be a failure when implemented and the Democrats will get the blame for this failure.

A great plan the Republicans have! Anything to regain power, no matter how badly it hurts those they represent.

These Republicans with the insurance companies are as un-American as Osama bin Laden!

Let use their line and "Just say NO!" to obstructionism for the sake of obstructionism.
