Is something wrong with this video that supposedly

shows Paul Ryan giving a talk about his health care plan with the President in the room but you never see a picture of them together?

http://www.ijreview.com/2012/08/12759-video-watch-paul-ryan-destroy-obama-and-obamacare-in-6-minutes/

Edit to add that Ryan does say, "Mr. President". The thing is the far right nuts are saying this destroys Obama but when it comes time for Obama to respond the video ends!

I don't want to offend anyone but what about Ryan's upside down smile?

I know I have had friends with upside down smiles before and they were nice enough. Never had a close friend with one though. The point I am making is when I saw Ryan speaking yesterday I made the same face with my face and it automatically created a negative feeling in me.

What say you DU? Do you think these types of smiles can be indicative of something or just facial structure? I looked up other pictures of him and his smile is up. So maybe he is just depressed at his situation. He looked like this most of his speech.

Doctor's giving off-label drugs to stop syndrom that makes babies masculine, lesbian, intersexed,

"Doctors Use Off-Label Drug to Prevent Lesbian, Bisexual, Tomboy Babies

A new report details the dangerous experimentation that's been going on in fetal engineering, in which doctors are using a synthetic steroid off-label to prevent lesbian, bisexual, intersex, and tomboy babies

A new report out of Northwester University's Feinberg School of Medicine details the dangerous experimentation that's been going on in fetal engineering, in which doctors are using a synthetic steroid to prevent female babies from being born with "behavioral masculinzation," or rather a propensity toward lesbianism, bisexuality, intersexuality, and tomboyism

Do you have an extra $6 to give to our President's election fund?

I got this in the mail today. You don't have to give $25 as the least amount when you give to the Obama campaign and they really need the money. rMoney is outspending him! If you have $6 or even $3 that would be great if you gave.


"It's already starting on TVs and radios in swing states, and it's not going to stop.

In the last two weeks of this month, Romney and his allies had an almost 2:1 spending advantage in Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Virginia -- and that could be the election right there.

We've got more than 2.4 million grassroots donors building this the right way.

But we're running out of time to close the money gap when it really matters.

Please donate $6 today, and help make sure our message can get through to as many voters as Mitt Romney's does:

Barack and I honestly wish we could thank everyone who contributes to this campaign personally. You're our second family, you know.

Thanks,

Joe

Paid for by Obama for America"

App to tell you if what you are buying is made by Koch

http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2012/06/18/microsoft-programmer-turned-democrat-politician-plans-anti-koch-brothers-smartphone-app/

There’s a good chance billionaire industrialists and liberal whipping boys Charles and David Koch are making money off your weekly shopping cart.

If you’ve ever bought Brawny paper towels, Angel Soft toilet paper or Dixie cups, you’ve contributed cash to Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries.

If you’ve purchased a pair of yoga pants containing Lycra or a Stainmaster carpet, you’ve indirectly handed the Kochs your money: Koch Industries bought Invista, the world’s largest fiber and textiles company, in 2004 from DuPont.

You didn’t know that, did you? Neither did Darcy Burner, a Democrat running for Washington state’s 1st Congressional District seat — but once she learned how many household products are manufactured by the conservative billionaires’ companies, she decided to take action.

“Our democracy has been bought and sold by people like the Kochs,” Burner said, citing the Citizens United ruling that allows tax exempt nonprofits like Americans for Prosperity, founded by David Koch, to donate anonymously in unlimited amounts to candidates and causes. “When I’m out talking to voters, they say they want a way to take action.”

NRA now selling hoodies with pocket for concealed weapon.

These people are despicable.

"NRA Begins Selling Hoodies With Pocket To Conceal Handguns. The National
Rifle Association has a new item in its online store: hoodies, with a special pocket designed to conceal a handgun. Hooded sweatshirts have taken on new meaning in the last week as a symbol for Trayvon Martin, who was shot and killed while wearing one last month."

Did anyone just see the David Letterman show where the guy who was supposed to be a

billiards experts screws up, curses and starts putting the balls into the holes with his hands? I can't figure out if he was a plant or if he really screwed up his shot.

Can the president order a jobs bill fixing bridged by labeling it disaster relief or something

like that? I remember the bridge that collapsed in WV when I was a kid. Can't he use some sort of preemptive jobs bills to fix these bridges to kills two birds with one stone, fix the bridges and jump start the economy also?
