September 20, 2010 - Not a Cult (but Really Close)

missing cult group found alive
The line between cult and regular group of religious nutjobs is very fine these days. This story of 13 Salvadoran immigrants seems to prove that. The group had been the subject of a massive search in California this weekend after two husbands of women in the group found some unusual religious materials and became quite worried that perhaps the little prayer group their wives had become a part of may not be so innocent, and could have met an untimely self-inflicted end this weekend. However, all their worries were proven unfounded when the group was found somewhere deep in the desert where they had been praying all night. So, yeah, the good news is that it turns out that religious cult they were so worried about was just a cult-like group...for now.

crpitt asks…
Q: Olbas Oil or Vicks?
A: Well, Ms. Crpitt, I really hope this question is about which remedy to seek when one is suffering from the common cold. If it's about something else, I have no answers. However, as I am just recovering from a cold myself, I can tell you what I think about the various choices available when seeking relief from the debilitating symptoms. First off, I am pretty sure Vicks was banned here in the United States because of it's involvement in dogfighting...or maybe that was Michael Vick, but either way, I never use any of their products. As for Olbas, this "natural" Swiss remedy sounds like something sold by a witch doctor, so I would steer clear. If you really want relief from your cold symptoms, there is only one choice, and it's not chicken noodle soup. I recommend Sudafed, or a related psuedoephedrine product. Now, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not paid for this, but the stuff works. It works so good that they once banned it in the Olympics, and don't let you buy it any more unless you can prove you are 18 years of age. If you haven't had the pleasure of Sudafed, I almost recommend getting yourself a little cold just so you can see what I'm talking about. Hell, I'm not sure you even really need to have a cold. Be careful, though, I'm pretty sure the stuff is mildly addictive.

You can't help but get the feeling sometimes that these guys are mocking the real Americans out there. Either way, I bet the lamestream media will eat it right up.

Christine O'Donnell hates masturbation and dabbles in witchcraft. What else is there to know? Just give her that Senate seat, and watch her take America back!

This is the stuff right here! Got a cold? This won't cure you, but it will make you feel like you've never been sick in your life...for a few hours at least. (Once again, I am not a doctor...not even close.)
