Notes on a Zig Zag paper: When the media corporations decide to destroy someone it's all over. Imus has been tossed on the fires of their cowardice and political correctness. This AM while MSNBC claims he has been kicked off the air their "news" continues under the banner of "Imus in the Morning," which is their only ratings winner. All NBC outlets are on him including the "business channel" CNBC. ESPN has joined in the hyena fest along with a gloating CNN. FOX? They seem to be giggling at the entire sorry spectacle. Be sure to read the Catholic trashing of this entire bogus affair, HERE.

Stem cell news: it is not EMBRYONIC stem cells that have made the "cure"for Type I diabetes possible. Nobody will say that because it goes against the current PC wave. The current diabetes "cure" comes from autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which have zero to do with embryonic stems. Using the above, you use YOUR OWN cells. Autologous transplantation refers to the use of the patient's own stem cells as a rescue therapy after high-dose myeloablative therapy.

Keep your eyes on corn prices. It is here where the hysteria over ethanol will focus. Ethanol, a product derived from vegetation, ain't worth a fat fuck. But the PC crowd doesn't want to hear that either. Bond price link? Yes, because of the inflation involved. For you wild and nutty speculators, cotton could be a play because some cotton land is being converted to beans or corn. I'd consider long term out of the money calls, not futures. The kick up will come from China buying so you might want to wait til the market starts up, but just STARTS. If you wait for harvest you will be much too late. Remember, this is a gonzo commodity. Every penny move is worth $500.

Duke: now let the real law suits begin. A ton of media people and orgs as well as Duke and their faculty are liable for this disgusting spectacle.

Have to go to work. See ya....
