A post by lowflyingsquab brought me to this Wikipedia entry on the Khmer Rouge this morning. This is what happens when people unite under a nutty group of leaders. The ring leaders lived and learned in Paris, the city of love, for chrissakes. This makes me so angry.

With regard to garlic and cholesterol, researchers have some bad news. Ah well. I still love garlic.

Here's a sad case of welfare fraud. The article says this woman collected 280,000 in government benefits for 20 years by having her children pretend they were disabled. Assuming she got equal amounts of funding each year, that was about 14,000 per year. Jesus. If you're smart enough to fraud the goverment for 20 years, one would think that you would be smart enough to get a real job, and make more money. Still, I despise welfare cheats. Not as much as I disdain nutty communist leaders, but still, I dislike people who lie and cheat for money, which means that someone who honestly needs the funding probably didn't get it.
