BEND OVER AND KISS YOUR TUCKUS FAREWELL....

After just a mere half-hour with the TV news and my computer this morning, and I am ready to dig a hole and crawl in!  Why, you ask? Well, other than the usual stresses and strains of life in general there are these items:

#1  from the DRUDGE REPORT:

"MILITARY LAUNCHES TOP SECRET ROBOCRAFT"
'We don't know when it's coming back'...What? Why?
Mission: Classified...Is X-37B start of war in space?

Potentially deadly fungus spreading in US, Canada 22 Apr 2010 22:21:58 GMT Source: Reuters

* Fungus is unique genetic strain
* Climate change may aid its spread
WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - A potentially deadly strain of fungus is spreading among animals and people in the northwestern United States and the Canadian province of British Columbia, researchers reported on Thursday.
The airborne fungus, called Cryptococcus gattii, usually only infects transplant and AIDS patients and people with otherwise compromised immune systems, but the new strain is genetically different, the researchers said.
"This novel fungus is worrisome because it appears to be a threat to otherwise healthy people," said Edmond Byrnes of Duke University in North Carolina, who led the study.
"Our findings suggest further expansion into neighboring regions is likely to occur and aim to increase disease awareness in the region."
The new strain appears to be unusually deadly, with a mortality rate of about 25 percent among the 21 U.S. cases analyzed, they said.
"From 1999 through 2003, the cases were largely restricted to Vancouver Island," the report reads. The spore-forming fungus can cause symptoms in people and animals two weeks or more after exposure. They include a cough that lasts for weeks, sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, fever, nighttime sweats and weight loss.

State-Run Media Comes Clean… Finally Admits Obamacare Will Increase Costs

State-run media comes clean…
Democrats told us that they would cover 30 million more people under their socialized health care plan and reduce costs at the same time. Obama told the American public, “Not only can we afford to do this, we can’t afford not to do this…” But, now after pumping up the democrat’s nationalized heath care plan for months, the state-run media finally admitted that it will increase costs.
The AP reported:
President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law will increase the nation’s health care tab instead of bringing costs down, government economic forecasters concluded Thursday in a sobering assessment of the sweeping legislation.
A report by economic experts at the Health and Human Services Department said the health care remake will achieve Obama’s aim of expanding health insurance — adding 34 million Americans to the coverage rolls.
But the analysis also found that the law falls short of the president’s twin goal of controlling runaway costs, raising projected spending by about 1 percent over 10 years. That increase could get bigger, however, since the report also warned that Medicare cuts in the law may be unrealistic and unsustainable, forcing lawmakers to roll them back.

Sebelius: We don’t know what ObamaCare costs will be.
The bill appropriated $5 billion for this program, but as Sebelius tells the committee, that was just a spit-balling number. In reality, no one has the faintest clue how much money will actually get spent on this program.

#5.  FROM TMZ.COM

Lindsay Lohan has been named a suspect for the theft of a $35,000 Rolex watch that someone left at her house earlier this year.

OH NO!!!! Now ALL my faith in human-kind is gone.
