Channel Offers Welcome Break from Reality, Psychologists Say

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) – With unprecedented crises engulfing the world, millions of
television viewers are finding the news too stressful to watch – and are turning to the Fox News
Channel instead.

“Things are so bad in the world right now, many people are afraid to watch the news,” says
psychologist Davis Logsdon, who studies the relationship between news consumption and stress
at the University of Minnesota. “For them, Fox News represents a welcome break from reality.”

Tracy Klugian, 37, a systems analyst from Lansing, Michigan, said that he was flipping the
channels to find “anything but news” and found himself watching Fox for the first time.

“They had this guy on – something Beck I think his name was – and he was just going on and on,
making stuff up,” he said. “I was like, this is the kind of mindless junk I need right now.”

Mr. Klugian says he now records the program and watches it every day when he gets home for
work: “For one hour at least, I know that I can kick back and not hear anything that’s going on in
the world.”

He said that watching Fox had also introduced him to “my favorite new comedian – this hysterical
woman named Michele Bachmann.”

“She was doing this bit about how the American Revolution started in New Hampshire, not
Massachusetts, and then she started mixing up where Lexington and Concord were,” he said.
“Okay, I know it sounds really stupid, but I almost peed myself.”

Elsewhere, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said he is not worried how history will remember him
“because if I have my way, there won’t be any history teachers
.”

I just bought one of them 15 cigar travel cases. It's cool but I don't use the foam inserts. If you have one what's your opinion and how long can you keep cigars in them?

I agree Nicar. I have several of the metal one's but the new plastic camera style case holds even more then the 15 it claims and has a small humidifier in it. I think I may even use it at the golf course. Then again I found a little travel humi that looks like a golf bag that I might pick up for that.

A large colonial force stormed Fort Wililam and Mary, Portsmouth NH
and seized 100 barrels of gunpowder, and removed the crown's colors, wounding the fort commander in the process.

This was a full 5 months before the April 19, 1775 battles of Lexington and Concord.

Common signs of a hemorrhoid infection include bright red streaks of blood on toilet paper or in the bowl after a bowel movement, rectal pain, and itching. The signs and symptoms for both internal and external hemorrhoids are very similar. If you notice any of the symptoms, you should consult with your doctor. While most of the time it will be a simple, but painful, case of hemorrhoids, it is possible that there could be a more serious problem behind the bleeding. Many people have thought they only had hemorrhoids when in fact the blood was an early sign of colon, rectal, or anal cancer. Visit your doctor to make sure that you are on the safe side.

So You Want to Know How To Treat Hemorrhoids? In most cases, treating hemorrhoids is simple. Changes to your diet and the use of hemorrhoid cream can clear up most mild cases of hemorrhoids. Incorporating foods that are high in fiber is the first step in treating hemorrhoids. Fiber helps to strengthen your rectal muscles and veins. Food high in fiber also helps soften stool, making bowel passages easier and relieving some of the pressure you have been experiencing. You can increase your fiber intake by making sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Another change you need to make is drinking more water. Water is vital to hemorrhoid treatment. Water makes all of your bodily functions more efficient, including the passage of stool.
