Lilo, this cowardly attack on the woman epitomizes the base, mean-spirited, thuggish atmosphere that's pervasive in our country today. The buffoon, who stomped on her head was actually criticizing the police for not intervening to prev ent this from happening. We're not only getting meaner; we're getting dumber.

I hope I get called upon one day to do it again.

Pretty unbelievable isn't it? Or, maybe not in this political atmosphere as of late.

TPM website is also reporting that this "Kentucky Stomper" claimed a bad back. He couldn't bend down and wanted to contain her, so he steps on her head. How horrible that people have come to this.

TIS

Yeah, that was WAY out of line. The lady should have had more people with her. Of course you never PLAN on getting your head stomped but these days...

I saw the woman interviewed on the news this morning. The Rand campaign camp said that they tried to get to close to the candidate. Reports, though, have him still in the car! Unfortunately, this will end up as too much "he said, she said", but the video was just brutal, I can tell you that! Btw, the "head stomper" was fired.

Anyone use Flexible Spending Accounts?? We're trying to determine how much to put in it, since it's a "use it or lose it" proposition. Last year, we used up our entire account by April, and we don't want to get caught again this year. However, they are changes in what you can deduct, and we don't want to put in too much.

No. I need to look into that again because our open enrollment period starts shortly but IIRC the deductible for reimbursement if you also had a HSA was set high enough so that it wasn't worth it for me.

"She's a professional at what she does, and I think when all the facts come out, I think people will see that she was the one that initiated the whole thing...I don't think it's that big of a deal. I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you. "

When I give someone a concussion, I usually demand that they apologize.

Evidence is accumulating that bariatric surgery—an extreme measure for the very obese that involves reducing the size of the stomach to promote weight loss—may “cure” diabetes.

I use the word “cure” with caution, because diabetes is complex, and the approach requires more research. But the results are promising enough that a recent International Diabetes Surgery Task Force summit in Italy issued a first-of-its-kind consensus statement pronouncing bariatric surgery to be a “legitimate approach” for diabetes treatment.

“Many patients undergoing surgically induced weight loss appear to have a form of lasting remission of their diabetes,” Dr. Jonathan Purnell, an endocrinologist at Oregon Health & Science University, writes in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The change happens quickly. And according to Annals of Surgery, diabetes “typically resolves within days to weeks of surgery—even before patients have lost much weight.”

Doctors are not sure exactly why the surgery works. The task force raised the possibility that the “rearrangement of the anatomy” might have a beneficial effect on certain hormones. Dr. Purnell suggests that excluding certain nutrients from the gut might change how the body reacts to insulin.

Some asshole stole my bike from school today. Literally cut the cable and took it. I just bought that bike on Monday. Come on, criminals! If you're gonna rob me, at least have the common courtesy to put a gun to my face and threaten to peel my cap back unless I give you my bike!

Sorry to hear that XDCX. Any chance you getting it back?

The new flip-flopper? lol

Oct 28: Sarah Palin, Tea Party Express to stop in Toms River, NJ, on Halloween

Oct 29: Palin supporters now say she will not visit Toms River

Not that I care, cuz I'd rather give out Halloween candy... but I'd like to know her reasoning (if she has any) for skipping my hometown...

She found out she can't see Russia from there.

And they don't get all the newspapers. Everyone knows she likes to read ALL the newspapers.

wait...she can read? i am surprised!

Just back from my daughter's 13th birthday party. We rented a lodge and picnic grounds in a rustic park, so she had a bunch of friends for outdoor day fun and indoor dancing at night with a dj. It was a tiring, but fun night for me, a nd a great night for her. Her friends are wonderful kids.

Sounds absolutely wonderful, klyd! Happy birthday to your girl! Glad that you and the rest of your family went out of your way to make this a memorable one!

Great Scott! I almost forgot.

Don't forget to set your c*cks back.. I mean your clocks back tonight!!

Here in the U.S. the clock change takes place next weekend (November 7th).

Great Scott again! You're right. Lousy Yahoo search engine. ://
I guess Afs' imperative was more literal than I suspected?!))

Well, I know Arizona, for one, ignores the twice-a-year adjustment of their clocks.

Their cocks on the other hand...

What they do with their roosters is their own business.

They do it twice a year, huh?..Sounds like marriage!

Man, you do it twice a YEAR???? Sex fiend.

FINALLY — a great alternative to body scanners at airports!


The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

It’s a booth you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

They see this as a win-win for everyone, with none of the stuff about racial profiling.

After you hear a muffled explosion, an announcement comes over the PA system – "Attention standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight #1818".

It would eliminate the cost of a long and expensive trial. Justice would be swift. Case closed!

Immediately followed by: "Maintenance Department! Mop and bucket needed in Main Terminal!"

But it works for me.

The UK has today signed a new military agreement with France......
