Clearwater Sun - Obama Doesn't Want to See Men's Underwear Former senator, President Elect Barack Obama has spoken out against the practice of young men wearing their pants so low that their underwear shows. "Brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on. Some people might not want to see your underwear. I'm one of them." he said. The practice has been traced back to the country's prisons, where belts are prohibited. The United States has the largest prison population with a disproportionate black male population, a segment of the population which has embraced the fashion statement. Senator Obama has taken care to not set national policy, saying that the country can only have one president at a time. His recent underwear statement is seen a proof that change can only occur from the bottom up. SHUTTLE LAUNCH LIGHTS UP THE NIGHT SKY!! The Space Shuttle Endeavor was launched into space Friday night.

Study Shows that GlaxoSmithKline Anti-Depressant Drugs Damage Sperm

New Scientist magazine reports that paroxetine, an anti-depressant drug sold as Seroxat, Paxil, Parotin, Aropax, Xetanor, ParoMerck, and Rexetin, results in damaged DNA in sperm. The study was made by Cornell Medical Center in New York. It backs up an earlier similar study by the group.

It is too soon to tell if fertility will be adversely affected, (or whether the DNA destruction will result in mental or physical damage to newborns).

The company has been sued by some 5,000 patients in the U.S. It has settled lawsuits involving side effects of the drug.

The moons of pluto

This power trio is no relation to the local publishing company, but they do have a great smokin' sound!

Their most recent gig was on Nix, a small moon of Pluto, in an open-air cafe. It's the kind of place where they sweep up the eyestalks at the end of the night. See BAND PLAYS IN ALIEN LANDSCAPE.
