Due to the enormous amount of pubmed whoring I do on a daily basis, I have a search engine plugin for Pubmed in my Firefox quick search bar. I accidentally searched for today's quota of Rahmbonics in Pubmed. Lo and Behold, he has an indexed publication!!!

Emanuel R. Politics and HIV: statement from Representative Rahm Emanuel (IL-5). Posit Aware. 2006 Jul-Aug;17(4):49.


Of course, I simply had to go and hunt the full-text version down.

I learned about some new Rahmbonics for my D.iary O.f D.aily O.bsession, {DODO}.

Did you know that:
-- Rahmbo supports the Ryan White CARE act that funds treatment for AIDS patients when no other resources are available. (Among 402 others in the Congress).

-- He voted for the AIDS assistance bill (H.R. 1298, the U.S. Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act)

Critical Note: Though the global funding aspect is great, the Anti-Prostitution pledge in this bill is despicable and counter-productive. As a medical professional, I think this sort of a reactionary approach to AIDS prevention and control will get us NOWHERE in our fight against HIV. In my dictionary, people who drafted this pledge are prime examples of what the terms "moronic" and "insular" actually mean. Two thumbs down to Bush and other crazies who heads are firmly under six feet of religious fanatic hard-packed dirt on this issue. Emanuel talks about the funding aspect of this bill in the Posit. Aware publication but not about the anti-prostitution pledge. I am dissatisfied over this glaring omission.

-- He voted to pass H.Con.Res.30, a bill supporting the goals and ideals of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

-- Co-sponsored:
H.R. 3859, the Early Treatment for HIV Act (ETHA),
H.R. 4792, the New United States Global HIV Prevention Strategy to Address the Needs of Women and Girls Act of 2004
H.R. 1409, the Assistance for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Developing Countries Act of 2005
H.R. 1413, the Women and Children in Crisis and Conflict Protection Act of 2005.

On the whole, that's an excellent record against HIV except for the one major blemish-by-association -- the Anti-Prostitution pledge. I wish I knew how Rahmbonics stand on this issue. Till then, I can't believe the title of this blog without reserve.

* YES. I am obsessed with this bloke. Apologies to all you 3 readers. You are unfortunately going to get a disproportionate amount of Emanuel on this channel, now that I have this insane urge to news-stalk for Rahmbonics. Consider yourself warned. big_grin

11/14/08 19:05 - 57ºF - ID#46693Category: {dodo}Rahm Emanuel {His finger, to be precise}
I admit it. This man is immensely entertaining!

He once said {on the subject of losing his right middle finger}:

1108/RahmEmanuelWaves1114.jpg

Of all the fingers to lose! I could not express myself for months. I had to learn to talk with my left hand.



Stephen Colbert latched on to this missing finger and what follows is a hysterical blackmail begging for a position at the White House.



Oh, and that finger is not just Colbert's favourite. Obama takes a jab at it as well... among a handful of other Rahmbonics.

Has he ever flashed that stubby little thing at you? It's appalling

11/14/08 11:01 - 56ºF - ID#46684Category: e:stripWhere do lost comments go?
Cue spooky ambience music...



Have you ever wondered why..,
- Your comment # is more than the total number of comments on the home page?

- Some comments you make mysteriously vanish into the night?
1108/Wptg1114.jpg

- Some comments get lost and never see the light of the day?

- As you look down the new comment column, the ghost of your comment still taunts you from the netherworld??

- Is there a secret comment graveyard on e:strip?
1108/CommentGraveyard1114.png

- Is that where unruly comments go to die?

The answer lies with...

PS: e:paul just posted in the chatter: tiny when you are posting a comment, make sure it says the right user and comment id at the top of the add comment window e.g. Post a comment to imk2's journal #46680

PPS: Thanks for that information. I will be sure to check in the future but how about the comments which have been posted without verifying this detail - is there any way to recover them?

PPPS: I am so addicted to this font-sizing thing. big_grin

The last post reminded me of how much I love this awesome Goddess of voice and passion.

So instead of just listening to me jabbering on and on, I strongly recommend that you take the time machine back to the 60s for 10 golden minutes. big_grin
