Why do Mexicans Worship Che Guevara More Than Argentines Do?
Dear Mexican,
Why do Mexicans worship Che Guevara more than Argentines do? I don't think we even give a shit about him.

You're one to trash Mexicans for revering a long-dead Argentine -- how's Evita's corpse holding up these days? Besides, we suffer from the same condition -- caudillismo, a sociological phenomenon that sees nations fall under the sway of a charismatic individual who promises to deliver power and wealth to the masses, then gets powerful and wealthy as the masses starve and the opposition gets disappeared. Historians love to pin this malady exclusively on Latin America, but gabachos suffer from it as well -- nothing else can explain why George W. Bush is president. Che-worship among Mexicans, however, features a few more wrinkles than the usual caudillismocauses. Guevara, for one, was an immigrant -- left Argentina for revolution -- who remade his life in Mexico when he met Fidel Castro. He died young, like all good Mexican men. Che was a romantic -- can't tell you how many pro-immigrant activist e-mails end with Guevara's famous quote, "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that a true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love." More important, Guevara wasn't afraid to use violence as a means to his end in the pursuit of his love, the love that dare not speak its name except through the barrel of a gun. Don't believe Chicanos: While Csar Chvez advocated nonviolence, Mexicans like their leaders armed to the gold teeth -- think Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Subcomandante Marcos. And now you know why democracy has never existed in Mexico.
Dear Mexican,
Whenever I bad-mouth illegal immigration at work, many of my Latina co-workers automatically assume I'm bad-mouthing Mexicans. Why do Mexicans always think that when a gabacho expresses dislike toward illegal immigrants they're talking about Mexicans?
Fences Make Good Neighbors
Dear Gabacho,
Where to begin...Where does Bush want to deploy the National Guard? To the Mexican border. What pissed off the FOX News nation a couple of weeks ago? A Spanish-language version of the national anthem. What was gabachos'biggest complaintduring the March marches and student walkouts? All those damn Mexican flags. What immigrant group does influential neocon Harvard historian Samuel Huntington argue will destroy the United States? Mexicans. Which country do many conservatives accuse of trying to take over the southwest United States? Mexico. You can argue that Mexicans warrant the attention since they constitute more than half of all illegal immigrants in los Estados Unidos, Fences, but you gotta ask at some point: Why don't the Lou Dobbses of the world rail against the Guatemalan aliens among us or the 25 to 40 percent of illegal immigrants who came here legally but overstayed their visas? Simple: Because none of those groups are Mexican. You can talk about fences making good neighbors, Fences, but your anti-immigrant amigosdon't like barriers put between "Mexican" and "illegal immigrant."

Kauzlaric Woods: Where in Duluth?
Normally when we play "Where in Duluth?" there would be a photo that doesn't blatantly reveal the answer. In this case, we have a photo that obviously was shot at Kauzlaric Woods. So more specifically we ask, "Where in Duluth is Kauzlaric Woods?"
Once we're done playing that little game, perhaps someone will be able to tell us who "Kauzlaric" is.

The Art & Architecture Library is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition, "Recent Acquisitions in American Art." The theme of the show was inspired by the Department of Art & Art History's hosting of an international conference on the changing shape of American art history. All of the featured texts were written by students and faculty in the Department of Art & Art History (with the exception of one text by our own Katie Keller!). It seems a fitting way to celebrate the department's rich contributions to the field.

Click on the link to read the Past Newsletters, current and past minutes and the PTA constitution
The PTA is a group of parent and staff volunteers who organise fundraising activities for the school. The PTA aims to provide the 'extras' that the school is unable to finance from the normal budgets, through events and activities that are fun for the children and their families.
Term 2, we held our Christmas Market and Fun Night. We tried something a bit different this year by inviting traders to the event so you could buy some Christmas gifts as well as having fun on the games. We had some fantastic donations from local traders for prizes and the new grotto was very popular with a visit Elsa, Anna and Olaf. Thank you to everyone who gave their support by donating gifts, sweets, bottles etc. For those who attended the Christmas Market, the traders who joined us, the staff who ran stalls and to everyone who helped organise the event. It was a very successful event, everyone had a great time and we raised over Ł1800!!
Every year the PTA provides Christmas presents for each class. We ask the teachers what they feel the children would benefit from for wet weather breaks - these were given out on the last day of term at class parties.
On the 20th November we ran Fairy Cake Friday with an amazing selection of cakes provided by reception. Thank you so much to all the parents and children who baked, donated and came to the cake sale. It was another great success and we raised Ł191! The money raised will go towards new reading books for Reception.
If you would like to help with fund-raising activities, in any way at all, then please consider coming along to one of our committee meetings. There will be no pressure to get involved, but you may like to find out more about what we're doing.
At committee meetings we plan what events we want to run, who can organise them and who will help, and how we will spend the money that has been raised.
It's an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. You can also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are directly benefiting your child's learning environment.
You can contact the PTA via email. email@example.com
We send out a newsletter each term to keep you up to date, and we have a meeting every term to discuss our next events - the dates for the coming year are listed below, so why not come along.
Chair: Louise Elcox
Vice Chairs: Karen Davey
Treasurer: Jo Deane
Secretary: Kelly Davies
Committee Members: Geoff Mason, Jess Tully, Rachael Farmer, Kelly Davies, Michelle Sim, Sarah Hall-West, Louise Taylor and Lynne Watson.
You can email the PTA at firstname.lastname@example.com
Complete a Feedback/comments form and hand it in to the school office,
Or visit our Facebook page - search Bridge Farm Primary PTA on Facebook and you should find us.
Do you work for a large national/multinational company? If you have a charities department it may be that your employer operates match funding – they will often donate a specific amount to charities such as the PTA if one of their employees is organising or helping at an event. For example, a PTA committee member works for a large company who match fund up to Ł250 – she organised an event which raised well over this amount and we were given Ł250 by her employers. It was as simple as filling out a form with their charities department! If you think this is something you could help us with, please get in touch.

I am utilizing GoDaddy as my webserver. I also tried activating another theme from Themify and got as far as the wordpress importer (Tools, Import) and after it "retrieved" the file, the screen to change User and import all files appeared but returned a 550 error after I clicked submit.

Russell Pearce: None of Us Are Citizens of the United States, Also Five Immigration Bills Will Not Be Reconsidered
Can someone please tell this crank about the night they drove ol' Dixie down?
As I blogged recently, the main concern of the pro-immigrant side after the defeat of five anti-immigrant bills last week in the state Senate was that under Senate rules, someone who voted against the measures could move that the bills be reconsidered.
This would've had to happen today. It didn't. So the Senate bills dealing with birthright citizenship, making school officials and hospital workers into de facto ICE agents, and Senate President Russell Pearce's immigration omnibus blockbuster SB 1611, are dead in their current forms.
Pearce could revive them as strike-everything amendments, perhaps even move to put them on the state ballot, but he'd have to flip enough GOP nays to yeas to move them through the Senate.

State Senator Kyrsten Sinema said she thought Pearce might try to do some strikers -- so called because they strike all existing language in a bill and replace it with entirely new language -- but on different immigration bills, not these five. She told me she believes the filthy five to be kaput in the Senate.
There are House versions of the birthright citizenship bills, HB 2562 and HB 2561, both sponsored by state Representative John Kavanagh. But so far, neither one has been assigned to committees, and word is that House Speaker Kirk Adams is not friendly to the proposals.
Similarly, Pearce-lackey and state Representative Carl Seel is sponsoring HB 2505 and HB 2179, legislation requiring schools to "count" undocumented kids. Both seem permanently stalled.
Still, I do not think Pearce will take this laying down. Not only is he likely to attempt some striker bills in the Senate, but he and his Tea Party, hate-immigrant allies will target those recalcitrant Senate Republicans in the 2012 primaries.
On another Pearce-related note, the ThinkProgress blog just posted a snippet of a speech given by Pearce at a Tea Party rally in Oceanside, California on October, 10 of last year. In his most Confederate-sounding statement to date, Pearce asserts that none of us are citizens of the United States. Instead we are citizens of the respective states wherein we reside.
Will someone please send this idgit a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Ken Burns' PBS documentary series The Civil War? And while you're at it, tell this treacherous so-and-so that the Union won.

What Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Death Can Teach Us About Climate Change (Really)

For the State Department to suggest that the Keystone XL pipeline will not have a negative impact on the environment is like Walter White telling Phillip Seymour Hoffman that heroin is as healthy as kale.

Keystone XL's Northern Leg: A Fracked Oil Pipeline Along with Tar Sands
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
On January 31, President Barack Obama's U.S. State Department released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the northern leg of TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
The State Department's FEIS argues that the northern half of Keystone XL, if built, "remains unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands, or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States."

Super Bowl Friday Trash Dump: State Dept Releases KXL Final Environmental Review
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
The State Department has released the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the proposed northern leg of the controversial and long-embattled TransCanada Keystone XL tar sands pipeline.
Image credit: Kris Krug.
In a familiar "Friday trash dump" — a move many expected the Obama administration to shun — John Kerry's State Department chose to "carefully stage-manage the report's release" on Super Bowl Friday when most Americans are switching focus to football instead of political scandals. **See bottom of this post for breaking analysis**
Anticipating the report's release, insiders who had been briefed on the review told Bloomberg News the SEIS -- not a formal decision by the State Department on the permitting of the pipeline, but rather another step in the department's information gathering -- "will probably disappoint environmental groups and opponents of the Keystone pipeline."
And, indeed, the new report reads: "Approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project, including the proposed Project, remains unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands, or the continued demand for heavy crude oil at refineries in the United States."
This reiterates one of the earlier draft's most heavily criticized conclusions that the pipeline is "unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands," and thus avoids a comprehensive assessment of those climate impacts.
In June 2013, President Obama said in a speech announcing his Climate Action Plan at Georgetown University that he would only approve the permit if it was proven that "this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution."
The final environmental review is being released on the heels of damning revelations about the close ties between the Canadian pipeline builder, TransCanada and Environmental Resources Management (ERM). ERM was hired by the State Department to conduct the environmental review.

Dr. King's Lessons for the Climate Justice Movement
By José-Antonio Orosco
Fifty years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize. One of the most striking aspects of his acceptance speech is the hope he expressed in humanity's ability to overcome war. This was no mere idealism on his part. Less than five years earlier, the world had come to the brink of thermonuclear destruction because of Cuba. The United States and Soviet Union eventually diminished their threats and, in 1963, signed and ratified an agreement to end the open-air nuclear testing that was blanketing the planet with radioactive fallout. These were small steps, but to King, they indicated that human beings were capable of cooperation, even in the face of something as horrendous as the suicide of the human race.
Today, the annihilation of humanity looms again as a possibility because of climate change. In 1964, King could not have imagined the particular features of global environmental destruction that we now face. Yet, he had reflected carefully on the forms of action needed to avert mass extinction before, so his work can still be useful today in thinking about directions for the climate justice movement.
First, King reminds us to think in terms of the "beloved community" in which we are all interconnected. That means that the injustices that we experience are also intertwined. For many climate activists, thinking about racism, sexism, or poverty are side issues; after all, if there is no habitable earth, then those problems won't really matter. King cautioned against the view that injustices could be divided into neat isolated silos. The world, he said, faces the danger of the "evil triplets": racism, militarism, and materialism. These are inter-related features, he thought, that are at the root of wars of aggression, such as Vietnam, against distant peoples for control of natural resources needed to maintain the luxuries of a few.
Climate change activists today need to acknowledge the overlapping systems of injustice that make some people vulnerable to climate damage much more immediately. It will be poor countries, largely in the Global South, that will suffer the most from environmental degradation of air, water, and soil. In the US, extreme weather--as we have already seen with Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy--will disproportionately affect economically fragile areas, usually made up of historically marginalized communities: indigenous people, people of color, immigrants, the elderly, and LGBTQ people. Climate justice activists will need to build alliances around these diverse issues, and develop the ally capabilities to listen to, and lift up, the voices of disenfranchised people.
In his last years, King wrote about the forms of activism that were needed to confront the evil triplets. He warned activists not to get trapped by the usual mix of demonstrations and protest that were hallmarks of the early Civil Rights movement. With these forms of direct action, King believed the movement had fallen into "crisis thinking," that is, reacting to injustice after it had already appeared. Complex justice would require mass protests, but it also meant getting out in front of social problems, and building alternative civic and economic structures so that people would not have to rely on problematic state or corporate institutions. He called for organizing neighborhoods and creating diverse networks of allies that could support one another.
A glimpse of this kind of activism came about when Occupy organizers provided assistance in the wake of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Achieving climate justice, then, will mean not only protests against this pipeline or that shipping port, but also working to connect local community gardens, alternative currencies, free libraries and medical clinics, into thick webs reaching across urban and rural areas. This kind of organizing will enable widespread skill sharing and mutual aid, but also deliver a message that was dawning at the height of the Occupy movement: another world is possible, and there are many across the world who desire to work together to build it.
King believed we had it within us to avoid mutually assured destruction; he also thought we were developing the insights and activist resources to radically align our world to the moral arc of the universe. The climate justice movement might become the place where we prove him right.

Humanity Extinct in Decades?
By Dahr Jamail
I grew up planning for my future, wondering which college I would attend, what to study, and later on, where to work, which articles to write, what my next book might be, how to pay a mortgage, and which mountaineering trip I might like to take next.
Now, I wonder about the future of our planet. During a recent visit with my eight-year-old niece and 10- and 12-year-old nephews, I stopped myself from asking them what they wanted to do when they grew up, or any of the future-oriented questions I used to ask myself. I did so because the reality of their generation may be that questions like where they will work could be replaced by: Where will they get their fresh water? What food will be available? And what parts of their country and the rest of the world will still be habitable?

Houston - Former ECU Pirate Fullback Vonta Leach scored his second career touchdown for the Houston Texans Sunday in a 30-24 loss to the Colts. Leach scored his first touchdown last season in an upset win over Indianapolis.
Houston stayed close despite playing without star receiver Andre
Johnson, who sprained his knee last week, and running back Ahman
Green who left the game after inuring a knee during the
first series of the second quarter.

NEW ORLEANS -- John Kasay's 42-yard field goal with a second left lifted Carolina to a 33-31 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, locking up the NFC South title and the second seed in the conference for the Panthers.
Carolina's DeAngelo Williams rushed for 178 yards to set the franchise single-season record. His 1,515 yards eclipse Stephen Davis' 1,444 in 2003.
Drew Brees, meanwhile, came up just short in his bid to eclipse Dan Marino's 1984 single-season NFL record of 5,084 yards passing. Brees needed 402 yards to set a new mark. He finished with 386, which made him only the second player to pass for more than 5,000 yards.

AT&T has been running TV ads for its cellphone service in which a guy sits down with a bunch of six-year-old kids and asks them questions like, "Is faster better than slower?" and "Is more better than less?"
They all eventually come up with the right answer, and then the voice-over guy comes on and reads the tagline: "It's not complicated."

WOODSTOCK — Recent Mount Abraham Union graduate Jona Scott capped his high school career on June 27 by helping his Vermont golf team defeat New Hampshire, 22-8, in the annual Julian Cup competition, which was held at the Woodstock Country Club and pits top senior golfers from each state against one another.
ADDISON COUNTY — According to National Weather Service meteorologist Kimberly McMahon, the data the agency collects at the Burlington International Airport show things started getting unusual in the middle of May.
In fact, temperatures for the first six months of year remain "right around normal," McMahon said.
So, too, did precipitation amounts for the first four-and-a-half months of 2013. In fact, if anything, there was a little less snow and rain overall.
"Toward the middle of May, we were below normal," McMahon said.
VERGENNES — The visiting Vergennes Champs swim team rallied on June 27 during the freestyle events to edge the host Middlebury Panthers, 246-235.
BRISTOL — The host Mount Abraham 11- and 12-year-old softball all-star team completed its overpowering run through the District I tournament on Sunday, when Mount Abe defeated Shelburne, 15-0, to sweep the tournament's playoff round, two games to none. The Eagles had knocked off Shelburne, 33-3, on Saturday in the first game of the best-of-three series.
VERGENNES — Astronauts on the 1970 Apollo 13 moon launch had to abort after 56 hours and barely returned to Earth with their lives.
Unlike them, Vergennes Union High School 8th-grader and space aficionado Alyse Beauchemin successfully completed her mission — a Capstone Challenge Project on that ill-fated NASA operation.
ADDISON COUNTY — In a March 27 email before the start of this spring season, Otter Valley Union High School baseball coach Tim Mitchell asked, "Too early to feel the excitement in the air?"
Well, no, turns out it wasn't.
VERGENNES — In considering their 2013-2014 municipal budget on Tuesday, the Vergennes city council gave special attention to two organizations — the Vergennes Partnership and the Vergennes Opera House.
Aldermen included $7,500 for the Vergennes Partnership despite a last-minute plea from partnership executive director Tara Brooks for $15,000 of support, which she said would allow the organization to retain at least a 20-hour position.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes city council on Tuesday adopted a 2013-2014 municipal tax rate of 63.5 cents, up by 1.43 cents from the 2012-2013 levy needed to pay for city services, but not schools.
The increase of 1.43 cents will translate to $14.30 of additional taxes per $100,000 of assessed value, or $28.60 on a $200,000 home.
It is only the second increase in the municipal portion of the city tax rate since 2008. A year ago the council added two cents to the rate, the first change since 2008.

Benjamin's Thinking
Published: August 24, 1997
To the Editor:
Martin Jay's criticism (Letters, Aug. 17) of my review of Jay Parini's ''Benjamin's Crossing'' is questionable in all three of its key points. Jay states that Walter Benjamin ''felt deeply estranged'' from the German university; in fact, Benjamin took his doctorate in 1919 and applied for a university position at Frankfurt am Main in 1925. Jay states that Benjamin ''fleshed out'' antifascist insights in his essay ''The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.'' If so, there's precious little flesh to speak of. The passage on fascism runs for all of two pages, and is a good deal less energetic than Jay's attack on me. With regard to Jay's third point, that I overstate Benjamin's assertion of subjectivity, I refer him to Benjamin's biographer, Bernd Witte, who remarked that ''for Benjamin all cultural expressions, all social and economic forms of organization are merely dream images, phantasmagoria, since old and new elements appear in them all mixed up together.''

Bourbon BBQ Meatballs
These simple appetizer spinach meatballs are the perfect holiday addition—a quick homemade bourbon BBQ sauce mixed with savory meatballs. What's not to love?
These simple appetizer spinach meatballs are the perfect holiday addition—a quick homemade bourbon BBQ sauce mixed with savory meatballs. What's not to love?
The sweet and spicy, knock-their-socks-off flavor of this sauce is also perfect for ribs and pork, so make a double batch and freeze the extra.
No one will believe your secret ingredient in this pungent, fruity barbecue sauce is tea! The sauce may be made several days in advance and kept refrigerated until you're ready to use it.
This Reuben-gone-burger is a guaranteed hit. It takes the favorite components of a classic Rueben sandwich—the Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese-- and pairs them with a juicy burger, all on a pretzel roll.
Make these irresistible tangy and sweet meatballs a day or two ahead of time and simply re-heat before serving.
An homage, of sorts, to the Hispanic communities of the Bronx, where spicy chile flavoring is a way of culinary life.
Whether you're in San Francisco, Manhattan, or even London, Chinatown means lively streets crammed with friendly crowds and splendid aromas, and shops filled with exotic ingredients and hardworking merchants. From Shanghai to Chicago, the pleasing flavors of sesame and hoisin belong with pork.
When the classic post-holiday turkey sandwich meets up with a classic deli favorite, a new tradition is born. Long live the new king of the day after!
You can easily get this family favorite on the table in well under a half hour. By all means make a double batch and either freeze leftovers or serve it later in the week tossed with pasta.
This is the classic soda fountain burger gone wild: we "beefed" up the usual thin patty into a fat, juicy burger to make it a carnivore's fantasy come true.
Make the universally beloved Thai dish at home in less than 20 minutes—without shortcutting on flavor. In this version, we start with raw chicken, but you can add leftover cooked chicken (or any leftover cooked meat) at the end to make it even easier. Also delicious when made with shrimp.
With its largely do-ahead capabilities, this mouthwatering classic recipe may well become a standard at your house for summer holidays - or any old day. The sauce may be made 3-4 days in advance and kept refrigerated. The rub may be doubled (or made in any multiple quantity) and stored in a sealed bag or bottle in the pantry. The chicken may be grilled as below or roasted in a 425 degree oven on flat sheet pans for 30-35 minutes, until the breasts reach 160 and the thighs are 175 degrees.

We were entertained for a spell by Helene Houde with guessing games on words, etc. Jeanne Trepanier and Rejeanne Letourneau read poems about our mothers and led us into singing several group songs. Everyone had a good time.

Skip to comments.Poor Little Barak Obama, He Tried... Get this to Rush...
Posted on 09/07/2012 9:28:27 AM PDT by dps.inspect
Listening to Rush say, something didn't seem right to him when Obama came out onto the stage last night... what I saw of it, told me a lot. Did you see how Michelle hugged little Barak, it was the same way a mother might hug her son who just lost the little league world series. Whether it was all for show (to generate sympathy) or they simply know the fix is in... I believe they know they have lost this thing... Their whole demeanor was, "we tried but it ain't working" .
Quite true! During the speech, Michelle looked worried and desperate. She knew the address was not succeeding.
In your dreams . . Obama is still the favorite . . He will pull out all of the stops.
He thinks he is doing great.
I noticed the same thing.
It struck me as weird also.
He'll certainly be a rich man. Tens of millions from selling POTUS pardons, a monster book deal, and likely a gig on PMSNBC as a commentator.
Then on to the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum with branches in Hawaii, LA, and Chicago.
YES!!! That was the first thing I notice- he was kising her so much I was expecting an algore moment- where he grabs her unexpectedly while she draws away
And what is the worst of it all, is that in their minds it all boils down to skin color, and not the IDEAS and PROGRAMS he embraced. The programs and ideas of big government have NEVER worked. Empowering and releasing the original, ingenuity, the creativity of the people, FREEDOM to either fly, or flop, made America great. We need to get rid of all programs like No One Left behind. Someone will always choose Foodstamps, the couch, watching TV, over going out facing the heat, or cold and working hard to build a bridge. Life is difficult, the gov't can't change that.
Don't worry about poor little barak. He will be just fine. He will be filthy rich, living a life of ease.
We will be left behind and left with nothing but Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat as we try to recover our failing dreams and nation.
If you look at Michelle when she's hugging Obama she is saying "you OK baby".
"I believe they know they have lost this thing..."
I pray to God you are right.
If these threats may be lifted come another administation in January of 2013, we may yet learn, in irrefutable, documented fashion, just how Barry Soetero, the non-citizen, was foist upon the US by corrupt Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself).
If that's true, look for Barry's "life" to be in Leavenworth for the rest of his days.
Only on account of the media establishment and the ill informed.
Obama is in serious trouble and his lackluster speech acknowledged the possibility of losing the election. He is not going to go down without a fight, but he is fearful of losing and realizes that defeat is a real possibility.
I don't think any assessment of the election is even close until we get the Israeli attack on Iran. It is likely to happen before the election. It will be as huge an event as the economic meltdown was in 2008.
R's will not be able to attack Zero about his incompetent Iran policy for a couple of months after the event, just because Americans rally to the president in a foreign policy crisis.
If Zero does not obviously bumble the situation, R's will be standing around helplessly, unable to address the political consequences of the event until after the election.
Yes! I saw the very end of the Barack show when we tuned in to see our local news and BO had just finished his speech. They showed him hugging her and she looked like a mother comforting her little boy after he was eliminated from the spelling bee. It was so weird, that it stuck in my mind. Wish someone had a tape of that odd exchange.
Is this why the Democrat party invoked God? cus they are afraid obama's going to lose? lol
Which is why the DNC had to cancel so many events (such as the NASCAR party) because the party is running low on cash.
Maybe he can do book tours after the loss? After all, many liberals are still in love with him.
I think the only thing keeping this punk afloat is that he is getting near 100% of the entitled, suck on the hind teat of the government vote.
This isn't over til it is over. Much will happen, to wit:
1.) Fed Reserve with yet more floods of money. The Eurozone
failing to stop the hemorrhages of owed sovereign debt-
Spain and Greece.
Major note: jobless total in US approaching 88 million
not looking or getting a job in last 4 weeks
2.) Iran- Canadians shut their embassy. Israelis will not
wait on Hillary Clinton, and an admin that takes the palestinian line that Jerusalem is a palestinian capitol.
3.) Never doubt the distraction capacity of a losing admin.
It worked for FDR after all, even as the country was
coming out of the depression, despite all he screwed up.
4.) Election fraud, financed at the Sec. of State, state level, abuse of absentees and Chicago Rules (vote often, dead or alive or even if illegal proxy).
We must be Vigilant— volunteer to watch polls. Be there, be organized, and record what you see— video.
The ANSWER, Freepers is to hit the streets, organized to drive voters, our voters to the polls. Change the Senate,
eliminate the dems and obamao. This is NOT in the bag.
But those entitled who suck on the hind teat of the government are lazy. They actually have to get out to vote. That may take too much effort and may interfere with watching Jerry Springer or Judge Judy. (Hopeful thinking)
I have been predicting for some time now that the story of the election will be the lack of turnout on the part of blacks. I have been positing that blacks are embarrassed by him, based on my interaction with a number of blacks that I have watched go from avid support to a noticeable lack of enthusiasm for him.
I now believe they will stay home out of a combination of being embarrassed BY him, but more importantly by being embarrassed FOR him.
You're on to something. One of my coworkers practically erected a shrine to Obama after he won. Everything but candles and incense (only because the building management wouldn't allow it.) I stopped by her office the other day and was surprised to see that the shrine has disappeared. All the pictures she had of him... gone.
He is worth $16 million
The trainwreck narative of the obama socialist democratic regimes derailment was only highlighted by more exposure of these anti american clowns during the democratic convention fiasco. One major mistake after another with the FOREIGNER fizzling out when he was needed most. 1) How can you blow GOD. They managed to do it with the Mayors help. 2) Kerry putting is big LEARCH FOOT in his mouth stating is Bin Laden better off that 4 years ago. That pretty much sums up the ineptitude of these IDIOTS. I am sure Bin Laden's answer would be the same as most americans. NO
I remember Jimmy Carter having a similar look the weekend before the 1980 election. Unbeknownst to us, his pollster Pat Cadell had briefed him and told him he was going to get his head handed to him (and Cadell was within 1% of the actual vote totals!)
Of course that was five days before the election, not three months. Likely the briefing to Obama was "you are gonna lose this thing unless you can come up with some really good dirt to take out Romney".
"Oh, damn.....he's a Mormon."
I thought I noticed the same thing - watched it on replay and thought I saw her mouthing, "Its OK Baby ..."
But, I'm no lip reader ...
If the claimed theft of his income-tax returns actually happened, and they are released, the Rats will have a field-day with them, even if they actually reveal nothing either immoral, illegal or unethical.
Current TV is running a show called "The Mormon Candidate." Only a matter of time before the attempt to attack Romney based upon religion hits mainstream TV.
I hope they do try to depict Romney as "The Mormon Candidate" - it will contrast nicely with "The Muslim Candidate- Barak HUSSEIN Obama"
They'll try, but it is not going well. He is in no way a favorite. He sits in the mid 40s, he's low in almost all the key swing states. He's losing. Mitt hasn't closed it yet, but he's on pace to do so.
The Obama campaign counted on a growing recovery this year, and we are going backwards. Rather than moving to the center and signing on to some of the GOP ideas, they went hard left and just like 2009, assumed the economy would naturally heal. They were wrong in both cases. These policies have an impact. It is the same reason Carter failed. They think their ideas can co-exist with economic growth, but it simply cannot.
And liar.
Marxists don't give in just because they are wrong, or are going to lose. They rig the results when they are going to lose, they lie when they are wrong, they kill you when they get the chance.
For many on the Left, their dreams are their reality. Couple that with obama's massive ego and top it off with his thin skin and you have the makings of a massive Democrat Socialist meltdown when the real world crashes through the door in November.
I didn't watch a minute of the Dem Convention. I have seen blood and guts strung out along the street and seen people die, but I don't have the stomach to watch the lying sack of doo in the Dem party.
I know you are.
I certainly hope so. The notion that Obama has given up and thinks he is going to lose is laughable.
Her stunned face while Clinton was speaking was priceless.
Well crap, now I wished I had watched the convention...but my gag reflex wouldn't allow it.
On those occasions when the leftist lose, they regroup and retrench and plot and scheme for the next battle. If Obama loses, he will be discarded and blamed for the defeat on account of his personal failings. The survival of the heretical ideology is more important than Obama as a historical figure.
You got that right... no doubt they have shifted from plan A: winning via vote manipulation, lying and cheating to plan B: winning via decree.
StevenFlorida has been escorted from the building. I humbly admit I hit abuse on him after reading his comments.
Good. I suspected that it was a troll.
I'm just not comfortable with that.
The Arabs have a saying something like, "My brother and I against one another. My brother and I against anyone else."
No matter how embarrassed they are they will vote for him. He is one of them and they believe he is their only hope. They will never let him go.
I want some zot graphics.

Hi everyone-
A little back story on me... my husband and I got married in June; we decided we wanted to TTC right away so I stopped taking the pill at the end of July. I didn't get a period so I was put on Provera and got it for about a day and a half (if that!). I haven't gotten one since and I've been tracking my ovulation. I don't have a picture but all of my days are pretty much the same looking; all lines are a little lighter than the control line. My doctor told me after 30 days of tracking that and not seeing a positive she will bring me in for blood work. What all will she be testing for? I'm new to all of this and not necessarily sure what to be expecting? I know it's very early to be worrying about anything but I'm just curious as to what to expect!

Good for starters
Reviewed: June 3, 2016 by Nicole1301, a Straight Going Steady Female
This is cock ring set is definitely something for beginners. The 3 sizes are perfect for starting out and choosing what size suits you and feels good for you.
My boyfriend was very pleased with these! Not only with the product but for the price we can't really fault these! Another great product added to our toy collection!
Thanks Lovehoney!
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great.

Surprisingly good
Reviewed: April 23, 2016 by Student_101, a Straight Going Steady Male
I was a bit sceptical about cock rings being able to make much difference to my sex life, I was definitely wrong!
Sizing of the rings is a bit ambiguous, as the "large" is tightest on me, I can only think that the sizing refers to the size of the balls on the rings themselves.
Sensations whilst wearing one or several are incredible, they definitely make you more sensitive and harder!
A must-have in the toybox.
- Pros
- Added hardness and sensation.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Best £5 I've spent in a while!

Longer-lasting fun
Reviewed: January 20, 2016 by Kirip86, a Bisexual Engaged Female
After much talk about spicing up our love life a bit, we decided to put an order in at Lovehoney! Next day delivery of course.
He came home from work around 6. I was so impatient by 9 that I jumped on him, slid this over his naughty part, and I'm so glad I did!
He lasted a lot longer, and he said it felt amazing. :)
- Pros
- The longer it made him last!
- Cons
- Not applicable.
- Bottom line
- Longer lasting fun.

The best £4.99 I have ever spent
Reviewed: January 11, 2016 by Goatboy Hicks, a Straight Going Steady Male
I initially bought this as the instructions for Clone-A-Willy said using a cock ring would help maintain an erection while in the mould.
I've never used a cock ring before as I've never had issues with staying hard. So I kind of knew what to expect after reading reviews and having a look at the forum.
I plucked for these basic cock rings, just because they were cheap.
I bought the clear cock rings, which comes in a blister pack, which reseals and holds the rings securely.
You get three sizes in the set - small, medium and large. These must refer to the size of the nodules on the ring itself, as each one has the same effect on my shaft.
Having never used a ring before, I wasn't expecting the effect to be so dramatic. Whatever size ring I used it helped to engorge my penis and head.
The veins in my shaft were thick and very visible, the shaft itself was thicker and like granite, and my helmet was certainly thicker and plumper.
The surprise came when the OH was on top and grinding. She let me know pretty soon that the cock ring was stroking her clit and proceeded to ride me like a thing possessed. I couldn't have been a happier man.
These cock rings allow you to stay hard and go for so much longer. I felt like a 20-year-old again.
The cheapest and best purchase I have made so far.
Even if you think you don't need a cock ring in your life, your OH would want one in theirs.
One last thing, make sure you are very well groomed before you put these on. Can't imagine the pain of having to remove the ring with entwined pubes.
- Pros
- Price, colour, simplicity, its effect.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Get hard, stay hard, repeat.

Great for beginners
Reviewed: October 10, 2015 by ALor, a Straight Going Steady Female
My OH wanted to try a cock ring but he dived in the deep end and bought a double ring with a bullet attached but it was too much and he wasn't too keen. So I bought these as a surprise and told him I had a surprise for him.
We used the medium sized one first and he was surprised at the difference to the one he had used before. He loved the sensations of it and the little balls within the ring were definitely a winner for him.
It made giving a blowjob more sexy because it was much more sensitive for him (naturally) and more fun for me because he was so much harder, and it was so much fun to watch him squirm. It was a really intense feeling for both of us, but he didn't last as long as he usually would even though a cock ring is meant to make you last longer! I'm not sure but I guess it was because it felt a really good. With continued use he does last longer now than he did, and we use them just for fun.
Highly recommended for beginners.
- Pros
- Different sizes to try out best fit. Lots of fun for both of us.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Great price and excellent for experimentation. Highly recommend!

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 5 in 2 reviews
This game has everything--sounds of windows breaking, police sirens, doors opening etc. My copy of this game broke around 1983 and I have been looking for it since. I am excited to see that it is still around!
You control one of eight possible detectives (4 male and 4 female) and try to track a thief who is committing crimes in 4 buildings and the streets surrounding them. The computerized scanner keeps track of the thief's whereabouts while players use a combination of cards, the scanner, and deductive reasoning to track the thief down. But, be careful. You may get the thief tracked down and try to arrest him just to have him run away from you. Different thiefs (chosen at random) have different monetary reward amounts for their capture. You win when you are the first to reach $2500. Players can steal money from each other, too.

DxTerity Diagnostics acquired an IP portfolio from SourceMDx that includes blood-based gene expression assays for the early diagnosis of breast and lung cancer, along with a blood test for predicting survival and response to melanoma therapeutics. DxTerity is already working to further develop the assays using its NEAT (non-enzymatic amplification technology) platform for genomic testing.
DxTerity is exploiting its NEAT platform as a cost-effective point-of-care system for carrying out complex genomic tests. The technology is designed to simplify genetic assays by eliminating the need for sample purification and enzymatic amplification procedures. The approach instead replaces amplification with a highly specific chemical reaction and reduces the total number of steps required to perform a complex genetic test from 16 down to four, the firm claims.
The overall process is carried out in a disposable plastic cartridge on the NEAT instrument. DxTerity says NEAT can effectively multiplex the measurement of 80 genes, including direct analysis from complex samples such as whole blood, and generates results in just an hour.
The firm aims to offer both high- and low-throughput versions of the point-of-care device suitable for use in high-volume testing laboratories or in physicians' offices and clinics where smaller test volumes are required. Each will feature a large, open test menu that allows for a wide variety of gene signatures to be tested.

I have a similar problem to this previous thread (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-pdf24-article-to-pdf-line-break-image-captions?replies=10), though it's been marked resolved and closed, it seems the issue persists.
First off, thanks for this amazing service. It's exactly what I was looking for (except the popup, not a fan of that really). I just have one main issue and that's breaking p tags.
You can see on my site that on certain pages the p tags break perfectly, while on another, using a different PDF24 method, it doesn't. It's the same stylesheet, but one method breaks and the other doesn't.
Here, using the "Top Bottom Plugin" it works perfectly fine. http://mattcromwell.com/easily-george-zimmerman/
Here, embedding the "Link Plugin" into my template file, the P tags break no matter what I do. http://mattcromwell.com/historian/cv/
I've tried using the custom templates within the plugin settings. I just tested sending the same page using the Sidebar plugin email function and that plugin ALSO breaks the p tags.
Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
