| And now, another priceless pep talk for Peyton Manning:
"Throw another tipped pass that was intercepted in the red zone? Too bad. Here's what you need to do: Work on your accuracy. Maybe watch a game tape of Tom Brady for some tips. That guy went 26-for-28. He's awesome. Plus, watching him is easy on the eyes. Total dreamboat." And now, another priceless pep talk for Peyton Manning: "So I hear you're upset about losing at home in the divisional playoffs. Worried people are going to call you a choker again? Don't be. You played well. You just had a few bad breaks. And you were up against a buzz saw. That Billy Volek has never lost in the playoffs. He's a dynamo." And now, another priceless pep talk for Peyton Manning: "Worried that your coach might be retiring? Understandable. You've had success together.

the has-been
Unfortunately, Thompson has yet to offer any more answers to the China question than Bush did. The next President will have to curb our financial dependence on our biggest strategic competitor, convince that superpower as well as ours to curb a dangerous appetite for carbon, toughen enforcement of trade laws, and rally Americans to study harder, learn more, and work harder to keep pace with the competitive challenge. At the very moment we ought to be summoning the will to outrun China, the Chinese are once again conspiring to sap our strength. Hours after Fred Thompson and Bill Richardson rattled their sabers, Chinese sympathizers in our midst made a surprise announcement: The panda at the National Zoo may once again be pregnant. Coincidence, or well-orchestrated distraction? For years, zoologists have told us how hard it is for captive pandas to reproduce.
Conster Nation
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Things are broken, all kinds of things. Just look around. We have bad leaders, bad air, bad diets, bad television - it's not good. So I've taken it upon myself to fix things, one thing at a time. Today I'm going to fix the government - one part of it, anyway. Look, I'm not just some blogger yaking about this or that. I've got bona fides. I'm barely educated on two continents, have a bunch of degrees (I'm using my doctorate for a tea coaster as I write), I know how to say MacDonald's in at least a dozen languages, am the former Sunday chef at the Die Scheune outside of Mannheim, and I know way more than that gasbag Dr. Phil. Now, onto the fixing of things. Government is big, and that's part of the problem. It's much too big to fix in a single column, so I'll start with one branch at a time.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Addresses the ...
NEW YORK, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On January 23rd, Public Citizen, a consumer group, filed a petition with the U.S. Food and Drug and Administration (FDA) requesting labeling changes for botulinum toxins marketed in the United States. Decades of use and recorded studies in peer-reviewed journals have documented the safety of BOTOX(R). The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the leading organization of board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in cosmetic surgery of the face and body, emphasizes that Botox has been approved by the FDA as a Biologic Drug and, as with any medical treatment, patients should be fully informed as to the approved and off-label uses of the drug, as well as the benefits and risks of the procedure. Since its FDA-approval for multiple neurological uses in 1989, Botox has been used millions of times.
New Treatment Can Clear Brain Clots
More than 700,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year, and more than 150,000 of them die. Survivors often face serious disability.
Most strokes occur when blood vessels feeding the brain become blocked, starving delicate brain cells of oxygen until they die. For those, the clot-busting drug TPA can mean the difference between permanent brain injury or recovery -- but only if patients receive intravenous TPA within three hours of the first symptoms.
Yet fewer than 5 percent of stroke sufferers get TPA, because they don't get specialized care in time. And of those treated, it only helps about 30 percent, because the clot is often too big or tough for TPA to bust.
Enter Penumbra, an option for patients who miss out on early care -- it can be tried up to eight hours after a stroke strikes -- or if standard TPA treatment fails.
