Ron Sims has dedicated the nation's first public reflexology paths
Boost your health- one bumpy step at a time- with a visit to cobblestone "reflexology" footpaths at King County's Marymoor and White Center parks.Of course, "Reflexology" is just a bunch of goofy pseudo-science."Health and wellness are vital to the residents of King County and many are turning to complementary therapies, such as reflexology, as a way of maintaining health, in addition to traditional Western health practices," said County Executive Ron Sims as he helped dedicate the footpaths at Marymoor Park today.
...
Reflexology is an ancient practice based on the belief that reflex points exist in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to all parts of the body. Walking on specifically placed, uneven natural stones is believed to stimulate acupressure points in the feet that lead to improved circulation and reduce overall stress.
This isn't the first time Sims has demonstrated his gullibility to superstition and faddish pseudo-science.

He is going to talk about what was said in the runup to the war, and why the press did not question out and out bold faced, easily disproven lies.
We all know why. Some just won't admit it....

God created the Earth is six days. Homo sapiens destroyed the Earth in five hundred years.
Praise God for pollution, SUVs, and America's big fat bellies!
In other words: Praise God for Capitalism!

Posted by: Matt Durham Editor on April 25, 2007 11:16 PMOkay this is for you moonbat lefties out there:
When the home invasion rapist has the knife to your throat, and you can't defend yourself because GUNS ARE EVIL, and it takes the police 20 minutes to arrive, long after the rapist who has had his way with you and your family has left. You can go down and walk on the reflexology foot path to heal from the experience. You have no place to complain, because you and your kind voted for and got what you wanted.

saving yet more money, because the health, comfort and art requirments are all met in one fell swoop.
This stuff is cheap in comparison. It lasts for like 30 years, it doesn't ask for pay raises, doesn't ditch town for a better paying job, it doesn't need training or health insurance. In the long term reflexology paths a better investment. =P
Facts - Are you a Moyers fan?
Under the Johnson administration, the FBI was used to gather and report political intelligence on the, administration's partisan opponents in the last days of the 1964 and 1968 Presidential election campaigns. In the closing days of the 1964 campaign, Presidential aide Bill Moyers asked the Bureau to conduct "name checks" on all persons employed in Senator Goldwater's Senate office, and information on two staff members was reported to the White House. 9 Similarly, in the last two weeks of the 1968 campaign, the Johnson White House requested an investigation (including indirect electronic surveillance and direct physical surveillance) of Mrs. Anna Chennault, a prominent Republican leader, and her relationships with certain South Vietnamese officials. 10 This investigation also included an FBI check of Vice Presidential candidate Spiro Agnew's long distance telephone call records, apparently at the personal request of President Johnson.
