Watch: Biden Warns Cancer Survivors Not to Jump From Balcony. This POS needs to be impeached. If Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have the balls to do it, he should resign and the GOP should elect someone who will. As a cancer survivor, this is beyond distasteful.

We apologize for misreading the news but, c’mon, it was an easy mistake to make. We saw the words “cancer” and “Hugo Chavez” and immediately thought of the man’s history, not his health.

Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, two particularly aggressive forms of cancer that have caused the deaths of countless South Americans
The Miami Herald has the tale of the terrific tumor:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez acknowledged Thursday night that a cancerous tumor caused his three-week hospital stay in Cuba — his first public admission that the illness that has kept him away so long is serious.
He revealed the diagnosis in a 15-minute evening speech, his first since falling ill 21 days ago. He stood thinner and stone-faced at a lectern, dressed in a long-sleeve black shirt with a red T-shirt underneath. From the start of his address, it was obvious that the normally jovial leader was about to reveal something bleak.
…A check-up revealed a pelvic abscess, which was drained and treated with antibiotics on June 11. Despite the favorable results, Chávez said, doctors noticed something worse: an abscessed tumor with cancerous cells. It was completely removed in a second surgery, he said, and he is now undergoing “complementary treatments to address diverse cells which were found.”
He did not clarify, but seemed to be alluding to chemotherapy. He did not disclose the type of cancer nor when the second surgery was performed.
If only it were as easy for the Venezuelan people to remove the cancer with which they’ve been afflicted for the last 15 years.
They may have removed the cancer from Jerry Brown’s nose, but the cancer of socialism is still growing unchecked in the state of California.
It’s been said that Jerry Brown was born with a nose for politics. Maybe so, but he has a little less of that nose today.
CBS Sacramento has the proboscis particulars:
Gov. Jerry Brown has undergone surgery to remove a cancerous growth on his nose, his office said Saturday.
Brown nose: They're still ignoring the real cancer in the state of California
The governor’s office said in a statement that Brown, 73, had the procedure under local anesthetic Friday, after tests revealed the presence of basal cell carcinoma, a common, slow-growing form of skin cancer, on the right side of his nose.
“All of the basal carcinoma cells were removed, but some reconstructive surgery to the nose was required as a result of the procedure,” his office said. “Governor Brown is at home and has continued to conduct state business today.”
They may have removed the cancer from Jerry Brown’s nose, but the cancer of socialism is still growing unchecked in the state of California. Everyone knows this ugly growth is killing the patient, but no one is willing to cut it off. In fact, Brown’s solution to the state’s budget crisis is – no surprise – more taxes.
This is one of those cases where the cause of death is known in advance and the obituary is written long before the patient actually dies.
Some headlines just beg to be written. This is one of those cases. It was like a big ol’ hanging curveball, just waiting to be pounded out of the park.

The Daily Caller has the details:
American scientists now say that oral cancer caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) has become more prevalent in the U.S. than oral cancer caused by tobacco.
We wouldn't be surprised if the Obama administration uses this as an excuse to tax sex
Maura Gillison, a cancer researcher at Ohio State University told reporters Sunday at an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting that scientists have found a 225 percent increase in the number of oral cancer cases in the U.S. during the last three decades.
“When you compare people who have an oral infection or not … the single greatest factor is the number of partners on whom the person has performed oral sex,” said Gillson, adding that studies have shown that people who have performed oral sex on more than six partners have an eight times greater risk of developing head or neck cancer than their perhaps less promiscuous peers.
In the last two decades, incidents of oral cancer in the U.S. from HPV have doubled. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that half of all sexually active Americans will get HPV throughout the course of their lifetime.
HPV has gotten attention in recent years for causing cervical cancer in women, with some states mandating and gynecologists recommending Gardasil and Cervarix to their patients as preventative vaccines. With this troubling data, however, researchers are advising boys and men to get vaccinated as well.
This story is hard to swallow.

Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.
Thanks to the miracle of British socialized medicine, it's been proven that Simon Cowell has a heart
Stepping in when Britain’s socialized medical system failed, American Idol judge Simon Cowell donated nearly $160,000 to help save the life of a cancer-stricken little girl.
This report from London’s Daily Mail tells the story:
The pop Svengali donated the money for 18-month-old Sophie Atay–from Birtley, Gateshead–to fly to the US for pioneering treatment at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.
He acted after learning the youngster’s family launched a last-ditch appeal for £500,000 to pay for the treatment last week after they were told Sophie was suffering from a rare form of neuroblastoma and needed treatment within days.
Now hold on just a gol-danged minute here. There’s something very fishy about this story.
We all know Great Britain is a paradise where socialized medicine has done away with all sickness. So why does this little English girl have to fly halfway around the world to get medical care in the United States? And for god’s sake, why does a wealthy stranger have to pay for it?
This is obviously a phony story cooked up by evil Republicans in an attempt to keep the United States from having a wonderful socialized medical system like Great Britain.
Turns out Bernie Madoff is dying and may not spend long in prison. Maybe Muammar Gaddafi needs a financial advisor. Could someone ask Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill to look into that?
Hey, if Scotland can turn loose a guy who killed hundreds of innocent people just because he's dying of cancer, maybe it can do something for Bernie Madoff
No wonder Bernie Madoff was so willing to accept all the blame for his massive con game. Turns out he’s dying and may not spend long in prison.
The New York Post reports:
“He’s been taking about 20 pills a day for his cancer,” said one inmate. “He talks about it all the time. He’s not doing very well.”
There’s been much speculation as to why Madoff took the entire fall for the scheme — and rumors of his suffering from pancreatic cancer surfaced many months before he arrived at the Butner, NC, complex in June.
The prisoners did not confirm that’s the form of cancer he’s suffering.
Maybe Muammar Gaddafi needs a financial advisor. Could someone ask Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill to look into that? Oh, and don’t forget the hero’s welcome.
Dr. Faten Abdel-Rahman Khorshid has developed a potential cure for cancer based on camel urine. Thanks to Prophet Muhammad.
Just great. OPEC will soon be joined by CUPEC (Camel Urine Producing & Exporting Countries)
According to SaudiGazette.com, Dr. Faten Abdel-Rahman Khorshid has developed a potential cure for cancer based on camel urine.
Korshid is a Saudi scientist, faculty member at King Abdul Aziz University and President of the Tissues Culture Unit at King Fahd Center for Medical Research. After five years of research, she has announced that nano-particles in camel urine can be used to fight cancer.
Dr. Khorshid says she was inspired by medical advice given by the Prophet Muhammad in the Koran.
“This treatment is not an invention,” she said, “but rather, taken from our Prophet’s legacy.”
In related news, President Obama announced that the “stimulus” had saved or created another 150,000 jobs, demonstrating his theory that the economy can be cured with bullshit.
The highlight of President Obama’s town hall meeting in Annandale, Virginia was when he called on Debby Smith, a cancer victim whose voice cracked and tears flowed as she told the President about her struggle with unemployment and lack of insurance.
The highlight of President Obama’s town hall meeting in Annandale, Virginia was when he called on Debby Smith, a cancer victim whose voice cracked and tears flowed as she told the President about her struggle with unemployment and lack of insurance.
The President called her forward, gave her a big ol’ bear hug and said he’d have his people look into it. It was a warm, tender moment except for one thing:
Debby Smith is actually an Obama campaign worker who had been surreptitiously planted in the audience. She’s a volunteer for a wing of the Democratic National Committee. She also works for the Virginia Organizing Project, which has been hyping health care forums around the state. A December news report revealed that Smith moderated a “a community discussion on health care issues” in Appalachia, Virginia and told her local paper that the meeting ‘would be reported back to former Sen. Tom Daschle, who has been directed by President Elect Barack Obama to form a committee to report on health care issues.’”
So how much help can Smith expect now that the President has told his people “to look into it”? Not much if recent history is any guide.
You may remember the name Henrietta Hughes. Her 15-minutes of fame began during the campaign when Obama called on her during another town hall meeting in Fort Myers, Florida.
Here’s how HuffingtonPost.com reported it:
One questioner in particular brought to life the dire situation. “I have an urgent need,” she said, revealing that her family was homeless and needed a place to live. Obama asked for her name — Henrietta Hughes — and told her, “We’re gonna do everything we can to help you…I’ll have my staff talk to you after the town hall.”
Apparently, talk is all she got from Obama’s staff. The HuffPo story continues:
…she did get the loan of a house owned by Representative Nick Thompson (a Republican), whose generosity was widely applauded. However, as soon as the house sells, Henrietta and her son may be out on the streets again. And lack of affordable housing is one of the major factors in homelessness.
Henrietta has actually received some help from homeless service organizations and some career help from the Career Center in Fort Myers. A few days ago, WINK News in Fort Myers did a follow up story on Henrietta. Not surprisingly, but still sad, is the fact that Henrietta still has no job and is running out of options. She has been taking computer classes, along with her adult son Corey, in the hope that they would be more qualified, but they are both in a job market that is likely filled with other applicants.
Bottom line: Barack Obama talks real pretty when the cameras are on, but doesn’t deliver. The only real help Henrietta Hughes received came from a Republican. She got nothing from the President but empty promises and that’s exactly what Debby Smith should expect, too.
But to end on a positive note, at least he treats us all equally.
Gwyneth Paltrow. We'd say she's nuttier than a fruitcake, but we're not sure if fruitcake is macrobiotic. British scientists have called Gwyneth Paltrow ‘loopy’ after she issued a warning that shampoo causes cancer.
The semi-American actress admits she was “seized with fear” after learning about “environmental toxins” (you would call them “chemicals found in everyday items.”) Paltrow said the number of children getting cancer and autism was growing ‘exponentially’ as a result of those chemicals.
“It annoys me when celebrities use their position to spout nonsense,” said Hugh Pennington, Emeritus Professor of bacteriology at Aberdeen University and a leading bacteriologist. “They have a perfect right to their views, even if they are loopy. But shampoo is perfectly safe – unless you drink it in large quantities.”
Paltrow promulgated her wacky claims on goop.com, her personal website, where she often gives fans information about her favourite restaurants and tasty organic recipes.
Paltrow’s children, Apple and Moses, are being raised on a macrobiotic diet. That means no cheese and no white flour. But as long as mom’s around, it means plenty of nuts.
