| Alcohol use accounted for roughly 3.5 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States in 2009, a new study finds. This amounts to nearly 20,000 Americans who lost their lives to cancer that year as a result of drinking.[snip]"Alcohol is a known cancer-causing agent in humans, but it has been severely overlooked as a preventable cause of cancer deaths," said study co-author Timothy Naimi, a physician and alcohol researcher at Boston University Medical Center. "People need to know the impact of alcohol on cancer deaths because it´s another reason why they should not drink excessively."

I´m with #1. It´s always "It´s for your own good, you´re just too stupid to know it"
BTW, anybody ever get annoyed at the stupid seat belt buzzer in your car. Can´t get in the car without the thing banging. I use my late model Honda SUV to drive around my private property, neighbors´ property, dirt roads, 3 MPH, and the seat belt alarm is banging. "It´s for your own good. Buckle up ..."
Liberals are everywhere. Wish they would move to another planet.

What were the controls on this study? Did these people ONLY drink alcohol and come in contact with nothing else? Maybe it was cocktail peanuts or the olives or the coke in the Cuba Libre or the hot sauce in the Bloody Mary that did it. I know: it was tiny umbrella poisoning!

Wonder if they will ever delve into marijuana and a link to breast cancer? Naw, too popular.
I think this study is amusing because the first public miracle recorded was Jesus turning water into some really fine wine at a wedding. There was also another passage mentioning a glass of wine helping digestion with a meal. So I take a study like this with the teensiest grain of salt.

How would you describe 3.5% of something? If four out of five dentists recommend Trident gum, that´s "most" dentists. Three out of five would be "a majority" of dentists, and two out of five might be "many" dentists. But 3.5%? That´s less than four out of a hundred. I would describe that as "very few" or "almost no" cancer deaths linked to alcohol.
Bottoms up, my friends.

I like to know what I´m putting in my body and its effect. The problem frequently is that we are not given enough information about how the study was conducted to determine if it is relative to our personal life. For months, local and national news have been pushing flu vaccines especially for the "elderly". But now we are told these same vaccines are only 9% effective for the "elderly". The second I read or hear the word "study" I begin to doubt what comes next.

This study is a disgrace to the scientific community. There are also many anger-related deaths in people who do not consume alcohol. If so, can one claim that not drinking alcohol causes cancer?

If stopping the use of high potency chemical drug therapy were replaced with so many different natural methods available of getting the body in a PH alkaline balance, I bet the cancer death rate would go down tremendously. But, then also would the profits of the big Pharmas.

Let´s see, alcohol is good for your heart but causes cancer.
Why is it that all of these studies can tell you what causes cancer, but we are light years from a cure ?

London (CNN) -- As concerns about rising Islamophobia in Britain grew amid anti-Muslim protests and attacks targeting mosques, authorities made a 10th arrest in last week´s knifing death of a British soldier. Armed police arrested a 50-year-old man on a street in the town of Welling in southeastern England. The man´s connection to the case was unclear, but like the other nine suspects, he was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. Four of those arrested are still in custody, including the two men who allegedly hacked to death British soldier Lee Rigby.

I´m going to start with three data points. One: Some of the Chinese military hackers who were implicated in a broad set of attacks against the U.S. government and corporations were identified because they accessed Facebook from the same network infrastructure they used to carry out their attacks. Two: Hector Monsegur, one of the leaders of the LulzSac hacker movement, was identified and arrested last year by the FBI. [snip] And three: Paula Broadwell,who had an affair with CIA director David Petraeus, similarly took extensive precautions to hide her identity.

An LSU faculty member is suing the university, alleging that she was fired after reporting what she called the School of Art’s theft of more than $75,000 from students. [Snip] The lawsuit, filed in the 19th Judicial District Court, also says School of Art administrators routinely misused other funds, spending the money on iPads, Apple computers, scanners and other accessories for faculty members rather than for classroom materials. LSU System President and Baton Rouge Chancellor William Jenkins said Tuesday that he couldn’t comment because of the pending litigation. “I’m in a difficult spot,”

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – Thousands attended an anti-Nazi rally Sunday in Hungary organized by Jewish and civic groups to protest a far-right lawmaker´s call to screen Jews for national security risks. The rally was unusual because politicians from both the government and opposition parties shared a stage outside parliament. Marton Gyongyosi of the far-right Jobbik party said Monday in the legislature it was time "to assess ... how many people of Jewish origin there are here, and especially in the Hungarian parliament and the Hungarian government, who represent a certain national security risk."

According to Pew Research Center, the share of women ages eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
