Animal Testing
Does this outrage you as much as it does me?
Here is another one of those insane petition emails I get. They all irk me to no end with their oversimplifying and total omition of facts, but this one outraged me. "Tell the FDA: Don't Put Human Genes in Goats for Drug Development I was horrified to read an article on Salon.com last week that described the practice of putting human genes into goats so that pharmaceutical companies can make money from these transgenic animals.100% Vegan Shampoo!! :)
I'm not sure if you have heard about Samy Pure hair care products. I am recently going organic with shampoo and conditioner (because regular ones test on animals and have harsh chemicals :S). Samy Pure hair products have natural ingredients, are sulfate free-no harsh chemicals, contain no wax or residue (it's not surprising how many shampoos have that), and are 100% vegan with no animal by-products.

Not really news... but it's big. And probably one of the better kids shows on the air today.H1N1 Flu Confirmed in Iowa Cat
The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) remind Iowans that in addition to protecting their families, friends and neighbors from the spread of the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, it’s important to remember to protect family pets from the illness, as well. People who are sick with H1N1 can spread the virus not only to humans, but to some animals.

Baby's brain starts dissolving; 'no hope'
Drug administered; Baby Z wakes up
A MELBOURNE baby given no chance of survival has amazed doctors after being saved with one of the biggest long shots in medical history.
"Baby Z's" brain started virtually dissolving soon after she was born 18 months ago because she had too much toxic sulphite in her system.
But her parents and doctors refused to give in to the one-in-a-million genetic condition and stumbled on a highly experimental drug.
Perfect Sunless Tan
I really want gorgeous bronzed skin all year 'round, but I really don't want to risk the skin cancers and premature aging that sun/solarium tanning can cause. Getting a professional spray tan every week would just be way to expensive, but at home fake tanners, whatever the type always seem to look terrible!

Tea Party Conservatives Turn on GOP Leadership
While the energy of the anti-tax and anti-Big Government tea party movement may yet haunt Democrats in 2010, the first order of business appears to be remaking the Republican Party. Whether it’s the loose confederation of Washington-oriented groups that have played an organizational role or the state-level activists who are channeling grass-roots anger into action back home, tea party forces are confronting the Republican establishment by backing insurgent conservatives and generating their own candidates — even if it means taking on GOP incumbents. “We will be a headache for anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States … isn’t to be protected,” said Dick Armey, chairman of the anti-tax and limited government advocacy group FreedomWorks, which helped plan and promote the tea parties, town hall protests and the September ‘Taxpayer March’ in Washington.Lawyer sues to end group's 'threat' prayers

Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said he wants Gordon Klingenschmitt, a former U.S. Navy chaplain, to "stop asking Jesus to plunder my fields ...Will You Get Breast Cancer?
Considering this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I though this would be a good post.
There's no part of our bodies that we obsess about more than our breasts. Even those of us not prone to health anxiety wonder which, if any, of our everyday habits are upping our odds of getting breast cancer.
