Akin's long-lost brother?

Have you ever lost touch with someone you used to know and really liked for a friend, but so many other things like career, family, etc., just made it difficult to get together very often until eventually those times became less and less? It happens, I know, probably all too often. I met a gal in college and we managed to stay in contact for only a few years before life just got so much more busy for the both of us. The years went by. Now, I'm feeling just terrible after finding out she bat ...

From The Atlantic Magazine The Greatest Risk to the U.S. Economy Is Still the People in Charge of It The recession gave us a lost decade. Congress added a lost year. The budget wars since 2010 have cost us 12 months in job creation. DEREK THOMPSONOCT 17 2013, 8:03 AM ET 21in Share More Reuters The 16-day shutdown of the federal government cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars in lost economic activity, from an idle district, to lost personal income ...

Pregnancy will not result unless a woman is raped, so if she gets pregnant, she wasn't really raped, she enjoyed it, the juices and secretions were flowing and welcomed the sperm.How insulting. How disrespectful.This is what is borne out of selling your political soul to the right wing. Poor Mr. Akin probably thought he'd get kudos from his party radicals riding on the snowball of their anti-female rhetoric. After all, Paul Ryan co-signed his "forcible rape" ...

Colorado Democrat: Women Don’t Need Guns If They ‘Feel Like They’re Going To Be Raped’ Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection? From Revealing Politics: Said Salazar: “It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t ...

He must be so proud! Former Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin may have drifted into national obscurity following his loss in Missouri's 2012 Senate race, but his contentious comments about rape -- which helped sink his political bid - will live on in syndication: Tonight's episode of NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" borrows elements of the Akin controversy for a plotline of its own. The episode, entitled "Legitimate Rape," tells the story of "a high-profile rape victim" ...

was an isolated event: As for the substance of what Akin told a local TV reporter, we’ve heard this before.There was state Rep. Henry Aldridge of North Carolina in 1995, during a debate to eliminate a state abortion fund for poor women: “The facts show that people who are raped — who are truly raped — the juices don’t flow, the body functions don’t work and they don’t get pregnant,” said Aldridge, a 71-year-old periodontist. “Medical auth ...

This one is just for fun. Hubby came home and told me about Willke having a connection with Nazi German experiments, so I found this: Mecklenburg's article was one of 19 in a book called "Abortion and Social Justice," published a year before the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. In supporting his claim about trauma and ovulation, Mecklenburg cited experiments conducted in Nazi death camps. The Nazis tested this hypothesis "by selecting women who were about to ovulate ...

The guy that brought up the question of "legitimate rape" and noted that a woman has "ways to prevent" pregnancy in a rape? You know...the guy that republicans lined up to denounce...the one they told to get out of the race...the one who was sooooo offensive they couldn't stand to have him as a representative of the republican party. Well, now that it is official that Akin is going to stay in the race and now cannot be replaced, look who's lining up to endorse him... Recent headline ...

doesn't get this either. The guy must be as dumb as a bag of rocks. What part of more than half the votes cast will be by women is so hard to understand? Or that after after his "real rape" comments he's not in a position where displaying contempt for women will work for him? ...

I had seen an old newspaper article called "Gridlock shows signs of thawing" by Robert Novak back in 2011 so I've been mainly focusing on finding info on gridlock and the effects on lawmaking, Congress and the Presidents in the past few days. I did compress the various articles I found, trying not to be partial to one side or the other. If you want to read it, I can post it tomorrow. ...

....I suppose as opposed to women who are raped "illegitimately," whose bodies cannot prevent conception. He explained his impressive knowledge of human reproduction by saying, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Like his democratic challenger, incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill D-MO, I am truly stunned at this amazing turn of events. This guy actually thinks we should pay him to legislate our laws. It will be interesting to ...

Tagg (what's with these names?) is claiming Daddy Warbucks didn't actually want to run for prez. Yeah, right, twice. I suppose we'll be seeing this nitwit as a future nominee/loser before too long. *blech* ...

cake of all cakes! How ridiculous is this????? ...

Effective 03/01/2012 (significant numerology, but of course nobody here knows that), Google will begin collecting even MORE data on users of its signature search engine (started with CIA seed money), GooTube, and Gmail. Significantly, USERS CANNOT OPT OUT. "Google will soon know far more about who you are and what you do on the Web. The Web giant announced Tuesday that it plans to follow the activities of users across nearly all of its ubiquitous sites, including YouTube, Gmail and its leading ...

Anyone have any ideas who the saboteur is and what makes you think so? ...

I just got a message from my sister. Please pray for my brother in law Bill. My sister said he is in ICU in serious condition with an infection in his stomach and is septic. He is incoherent and not breathing well. One Dr said that his kidneys show being shut down and he will probably require dialysis and a ventolator to breathe and then she had the audacity to say he may go on life support. Fortunately he is starting to be a little coherant, his blood pressure went ...

I posted several days ago about being abused by my sister. Today she finally called after having thrown me away again a few weeks ago. She called to tell me in her nasty, sarcastic voice that my brother died this morning at the shore. He and his wife, grown children and grandchildren went to the shore for the week to celebrate their wedding anniversary. They were walking on the boardwalk this morning and he got extreme chest tightness. He fell on the boardwalk and w ...

Just a long story short, MIL and H's dad divorced when H was about 3 months old. H never had many relations with his dad except 1 visit the whole time until he turned 18. FIL did have another child, a boy, after his marriage to MIL. Well, 6 months ago that son, H's half brother, called MIL and wanted to contact H to tell him their father was dying. I was there listening to MIL's end of the conversation and she was pretty hostile towards the boy, now a man ( ...

My brother has been diagnosed with cancer in his remaining kidney. He had one kidney removed with cancer then metastasized to pancreas and had that surgery. They are saying his remaining kidney is half full of cancer and he should have it removed and then go on dialysis for the rest of his life. I have seen miracles and I know it can happen. I am believing for his total healing. Thank you every one for your prayers. There is power in numbers. The s ...

My family knew that I was looking for a new pet. I wanted a cat or a kitten and had been looking in shelters and in ads for a pet, hoping to give an unwanted animal a good home. I finally found a 3 year old super fat and fuzzy faded orange tabby cat and brought it home. Named him Puss in Boots because he reminds me of the character in Shrek 3, that fat! Well my brother called me up and explained to me that a friend of his was looking for a home for ...

Please pray for my friend and her brother-in-law who is suffering with ALS. He also has been diagnosed with MS and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This is almost unheard of to be hit with three major diseases, but the Cleveland Cllinic says this happens sometimes in someone who has never, ever been sick, and then all of a sudden the immune system cannot recognize and fight off disease. He is now unable to even speak in single syllables, which he could do just a short time ago ...

My brother was audited by the IRS. He did not realize he needed to report/fill out some form for a small estate amount he received in a will. He subsequently got the discrepancy cleared up and it was no big deal. There is this guy, Ben Carson, who seems to be all upset that he thinks he was targeted by the IRS. I am thinking he makes a lot of money and perhaps has had a filing mistake or 2. Here are some common reasons that people are audited as per Kiplinger's *Making Too Much Mon ...

Sell stuff on eBay! Etsy! Amazon.com! Wave of future! Etc etc etc.... I signed up with eBay (again), start getting those emails about how easy it is to sell stuff, so EASY to upload pics, write description, discount, etc...OVERwhelming. So my brother comes over, sees the stuff I'm making, and says nonchalantly, "I bet I could sell that on eBay." (He sells stuff on Amazon AND eBay). And I was like, "oh you could, could you?" So he had his camera, t ...

He has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He is 59. I just spent a few days with him. This is so very hard. I pray that he does not suffer and that I can accept the diagnosis as gracefully as he has. ...

I am asking for prayers for my brother, Aaron, who has cancer. It has spread from his abdominal cavity to his lungs. He has two little boys and we are all devastated. Please, please pray for him and our family. Thank you ...

Just a note: Boston Globe states today is the last day to read articles online without subscribing. It was one of the most gruesome killings in Greater Boston in many years: three young men found with their throats slit inside a Waltham apartment on a quiet residential street, their bodies sprinkled with marijuana. Now, police and prosecutors are stepping up their investigation into the unsolved 2011 triple homicide at the request of victims’ relatives who believe that suspected ...
