I'm disgusted.
Catkiller Frist will be speaking at the graduation at the Medical University here in Charleston today. I know this is SC but that's just too much.

2. Any demonstrations planned?
Such as signs saying, "Apoligize for Nazi remark now!"

http://pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/newssummary/s_309392.html

From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Santorum, the Senate's No. 3 Republican, called for Byrd to retract his statement.


"Senator Byrd's inappropriate remarks comparing his Republican colleagues with Nazis are inexcusable," Santorum said in a statement yesterday. "These comments lessen the credibility of the senator and the decorum of the Senate. He should retract his statement and ask for pardon."

3. Yes, there's one planned
but it won't get anywhere near MUSC. You're practically having to show your repuke credentials to be allowed downtown.

6. Gosh, my sympathies
If Medea Benjamin can sneak into the Halliburton meeting in Houston this week, surely some clever people can sneak into your downtown area? Just saying.

5. Why is Bill Frist referred to as a cat-killer?
...I've seen that reference in a number of posts and am wondering what that is based upon. I know that it has been alleged that George Dubya Bush as an adolescent performed ritualistic and sadistic tortures on animals. Is that also the case for Frist? Or is it that he is a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine?

7. Here's a good description.
An amazon.com reader's review of William Frist M.D.'s book "Transplant: A Heart Surgeon's Account of the Life-And-Death Dramas of the New Medicine" which he wrote before he was elected to the Senate. The reviewer describes it as Words of Wisdom from a Butcher:

In this book, Frist admits to adopting homeless animals from Boston shelters and promising to keep them as pets, only to bring them home to vivisect and eventually kill. The fact that he was a medical student is no excuse - he knew it was wrong, not to mention illegal, otherwise he would have no need for secrecy. Didn't he get enough dissection and vivisection in his medical school classes? Apparently not. I don't buy his explanation that the clandestine torture and killing of these animals was done to further his studies - if that were the case, he would have done the experiments IN SCHOOL under the SUPERVISION of a professor. Yes, it's impressive that he was a medical student - he is obviously intelligent. However, the frenzied, repeated torture and killing of these adopted animals points to a deviant character, pure and simple.

Son Of Hope: MY STORY
by David Berkowitz

May God bless everyone who is reading this message! My name is David Berkowitz, and I am a prison inmate who has been incarcerated for more than twenty-two years. I have been sentenced to prison for the rest of my life. My criminal case is well known and was called the “Son of Sam” shootings.

It was eleven years ago, when I was living in a cold and lonely prison cell, that God got a hold of my life. Here is my story of Hope...

10. Stage a PRANK...
Have everyone in the audience start to "meow..."

"Hiss" - "Meow" - "Hiss" - "Meow"

It's pretty tame and lame, I know...but it's early in the morning...
