re: Military Trials
Obama is coming around well.
Can’t wait for the Court nominee.
Bunny! Kittens! I can’t breathe…
Get Golob’s opinion on the lithium study, stat!
(They didn’t say how the lithium got there…is it natural or does it come from patients’ urine like Prozac?)
is everyone okay with Mr. Poe just suddenly reappearing on Slog?
@2: Seriously. I need both a bunny and a kitten immediately.
@4: Of course. He belongs here.
Doesn’t lithium in tap water also lower violent crime rates?
@3,
I believe it’s usually naturally occurring.
@4 Slog without Poe has been grim.
B. Hussein Obama’s SCOTUS choice must be stopped, lest there judicial activism enshrine Marxism, abortion on demand, and homosexuality in all corners of America forever.
@5 – And Lord Basil. It just wouldn’t be the same without him.
@8 Dear Lord Basil, as a homophone, the three forms are: THEIR, THEY’RE, and THERE. Please learn the difference.

we take our homos seriously on slog
sex ed via text is not new, san fran has done something like it before. . . wait, no, they just sent out texts of places to get tested. sorry. but both those ideas need to be implemented widely though, they are a good idea.
the thought of lithium in the water lowering suicide rates is interesting. i also wonder what Golob’s take on it is. oh wait. again, i’m not fxing (no, fxning, damn!) well due to illness, as i’m realizing maybe they mean suicide rates are lower as evidenced by lithium levels in tap water? is waste water treated and reused as tap water? shit, no, that doesn’t make sense . . .
oh, and that rabbit and cat video was 30, 50 sec or so of my life well spent :).
also, as long as they’re respectful and don’t cross any major lines, ppl should be able to comment on slog.
@11 I don’t know about that, but we do take our literacy seriously…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophone
There is an abundance of Lithium in the H2O in Ashland, Oregon…It’d be interesting for someone to conduct a longitudinal study there….tracking kids raised there over the course of a 20 year period…to see how suicide rates compare to the those in other areas.
Sweet Kitty.
@15 There has been a study (too lazy to go find it) and Ashland has a statistically significantly lower rate of bipolar disorder.
@3 Lithium is a naturally occurring salt.
