Bad at math, worse at remembering meds, now

A couple weeks ago I came across an old article about Journolist which I found striking. In particular, I was struck by the ways in which some of the debates taking place among left-leaning journalists back in 2008 still seem to encompass the ways the left-wing media operates today.... For those who don’t remember it, Journolist was just a listserv created by Ezra Klein. The list was invitation only and was mostly made up of progressive journalists. In theory, the list was a kind of digital ...

What is your opinion on kids on medications to keep them calm? Especially boys. Boys are boys, and they all inherently have "ADHD" until they're about 16. <g> I think it's a matter of discipline, not drugs. Also, it just kills me that kids who have behavioral problems and who are in chaotic home environments, are drugged and therapied to death, then stuck in the same horrible nutty home environment. Drug the kid, ship the kid to therapy, but keep the ...

In the last 18 years, I've gained 45 pounds. I've taken phentermine twice (purchased on line), which worked very well. I also did the Atkins diet which worked well. I tried Curves for six months but only lost five pounds. Can anybody recommend an OTC appetite supressant that's been successful for you? I hate the side effects of phentermine (horrible insomnia and dry mouth) and can't get a doctor to prescribe it for me anyway. I do realize fewer calories and exercise result in ...

Finally, a viewpoint the R bros totally share....one they don't have to run away from when answering hard questions from campain trail press corps. Ryan concurs with Romney that a large segment of America's population are shiftless, lazy folks who are dependent on the government and have no motivation to improve their lives. Unlike real citizens, they do not share our so-called American dream. Ryan is a bit more generous in his estimation. His figure is 30% as o ...

Wow, even Ezra Klein seems a little confused about "Obama math!" His "best guess?"

Hey guys and gals. I hate to over-simplify something so complicated but I am sure we have all learned, you have to have more coming in than going out. If you borrow, you have more to pay, but you still have to have more coming in to cover that. You have to reserve some in case of an emergency. I think it is a matter of losing touch with reality and the basics that has landed us in hot water. ...

The state's investigation into vote irregularities in Waukesha County will stretch back at least five years. In many cases, the number of votes totaled more than the number of ballots cast. This is the district where Prosser won by the "found" 7,000 votes. See link. No comment. ...

On election night, Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove was unwilling to believe that President Obama had won Ohio, arguing with anchor Megyn Kelly that Ohio was too close to call. Eventually, Kelly asked Rove if his calculations were "just math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?" This televised moment on Election Day was one small victory for statistics. Another was thatFiveThirtyEight blogger Nate Silver accurately pred ...

Trying to figure out how much this will cost me for my budget. A couple weeks ago I bought 5 applies - they were 3.99/lb and came to $12. (eeks! - they were very good applies - Honeycrisp) I am near broke (no rather I AM broke with a very limited amount of money), but I need to buy another 5 applies. This time I see a sale for Pink Lady apples (another very good apple). These applies are on sale for 1.29 a pound. If I buy 5 of them can someone tell me how much 5 will cost.&nb ...

On Friday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC panelist Donny Deutsch pushed the typical liberal “tax cuts for the rich” narrative as he slammed the Republican health care reform bill: "The other side of the aisle will call this as a redistribution of wealth. Obviously, parties are given to hyperbole, but the reality according to the Center [for] Tax Policy is that 90 percent of the benefits in this plan go to families making $700,000 a year or more, the one percent. That is a fiscal reality." He demanded ...

gun laws all at the same time." From Thomas Friedman's op-ed in the Sunday NY Times: "WHEN thinking about the state of the Republican Party, I defer to a point that the Democratic consultant James Carville made the other day: “When I hear people talking about the troubled state of today’s Republican Party, it calls to mind something Lester Maddox said one time back when he was governor of Georgia. He said the problem with Georgia prisons was ‘the quality of the inmates.&r ...

....since the Supreme Court gave corporations the same voice as individuals in supporting political candidates? I sense that that's made things worse during this campaign. I think these PACs and Super PACs are creating so much havoc, on both sides, and they're making politics even more confusing and muddled. It's awful when a PAC comes out with advertising that favors one candidate or the other, and people assume that the campaign itself put out the ad, bu ...

January 20, 2013 By Terence P. Jeffrey The number of Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8,332,000 to a record 88,839,000 in President Barack Obama’s first term, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, the number of retired workers collecting Social Security increased by only 4,234,480. The increase in Americans opting out of the labor force during Obama’s first term resulted in a decrease in the labor fo ...

I keep thinking there is hope. After filing for unemployment, I thought I would get my DD pay today (yes I did the waiting week). Now I find out it could be TEN DAYS before I get my pay. I cannot make my children wait 10 days to eat. I have been to the food pantry here and have no way to get other food. I know I will be kicked out of my house very soon. Anyway, I really desperately need prayers. I guess I do not know why I keep asking for prayers because ...

20 Ways The Economy Has Gotten Worse Since Barack Obama Became President By almost any measure that you can think of, the U.S. economy has gotten worse since Barack Obama became president. Unemployment is higher, the cost of food and gas are skyrocketing, the number of Americans living in poverty has spiked dramatically, the housing market is in nightmarish shape and our national debt has absolutely exploded. Meanwhile, Barack Obama continues to prance around the countr ...

When "opinion" called people pugs, Foxbots, cons, and presidential candidates idiots, I see that the hatred of especially a couple people (seems like only 2), will never subside. They fail to have discussions with others except their cohorts and fail to give reasons WHY they feel the way they do. They just spew hate and I find it disgusting. On that note, I'm gone and hopefully, for good this time. I had hoped this board would change. I had seen a couple down-to-earth discussions from ...

It has become abundantly clear today that the lefties are in dire panic mode. Can't say I blame them. They have reason to be.

Bloomberg's ban prohibits 2-liter soda with your pizza and some nightclub mixers The city Health Department last week began sending brochures to businesses that would be affected by the latest ban, including restaurants, bars and any “food service” establishment subject to letter grades.
