Testify Under Oath on the Record?

Well that doesn’t fit the Bush administration’s agenda. Bush claims off the record back room no transcript “information” is as close as the democrats will get to the truth. They don’t want anyone to be able to detect whether or not they are telling the truth. Plain and simple under oath on the record forces the truth or serious consequences. Too risky they have never been in position where anything short of the truth is unacceptable. I say it is about time they had their feet to the fire. That’s politics, and if they don’t like it they should have choosen another line of work. It always tickles the shit out of me to hear a politician complain about their opponents “playing politics”. It is they game they all play on all sides of any issue. I say the person complaining about the other guy playing politics must be losing the game.

What’s up with all the Hoodia hype?

It seem’s eveywhere you turn these days people are talking about Hoodia Gordonii. I have seen news reports and endless advertisements so there must be something to it.

Hoodia Claimed Effects/Benefits include:

• Feeling full more quickly
• A delay in the time after eating before hunger sets in again
• A general feeling of well being
• A reduced interest in food.
• As it will help you reduce calorie intake means it will surely help you in weight loss.

I suppose anything that helps to reduce appetite might provide some help with loosing weight. But I can’t help but wonder if it is yet another fad like Atkins or if it will last.

Who knows but here is an interesting introduction to the history and facts about Hoodia Gordonni: Facts & History

They have been following progress of dieter’s using hoodia on my local news channel and so far the results are very good. Not exactly mega-pounds in one week but very real reasonable weight loss. I would say the conclusion is this stuff really does work.
