Why don't you take a break? I think you're juggling too much. That may be what happened to your nose - a few bowling pins collided with it. Or, is that just a byproduct of too much midnight at the Oasis bar and grill?

Actually, Fish, it was a very heartening experience. We ended up having to all smoosh together and drag more chairs in since the attendance was way more than was expected. And such positive outlooks by all! As an experiment, I'm going to a Romney rally when I can to compare the crowd. I'm sure I'll be highly entertained by the mouth breathing, knuckle draggers in their Confederate flag hats.
:)
Yeah, I'm sure everybody was really slobbering all over each other and making the guy in front of you smile, if you know what I mean. What flavor kool-aid were they serving? Maybe they should've rented a bigger closet to fit "the masses".

This article is an opinion by U.S. Rep Marsha Blackburn. She also said that Obamacare would lead to lost jobs. She lied about this also.
"Marsha Blackburn says health-care law will lead to loss of 1,000 of 10,000 medical-device industry jobs in her district"
"...Blackburn exaggerates the number of medical device manufacturing jobs in her district and in the state while citing a free-market advocate’s 2009 study that says 1,000 jobs could be lost statewide.
Some of the assumptions made by The Manhattan Institute study have been questioned, and the provisions of the bill itself mean there’s little reason to suspect there would be much off-shoring based on the excise tax. There is also no consensus on how much demand might drop for medical devices produced in Tennessee based on pricing.
Taking into account that Blackburn’s office acknowledges she made a mistake in saying "congressional district" rather than "state," we rate the statement Mostly False."
http://www.politifact.com/tennessee/statement...
I'm sure Ms. Blackburn's newest statement will be proven false also.
:)
Only a liberal moron would believe "Politifact" over REALITY:

Just to the west of Tennessee, one of the most "medical" states in the country, is tiny Indiana:

"An Indiana-based medical equipment manufacturer says it is canceling plans to open five new plants in the coming years because of a looming tax tied to ObamaCare.

Cook Medical claims the tax on medical devices, set to take effect next year, will cost the company roughly $20 million a year, cutting into money that would otherwise go toward expanding into new facilities over the n

The 2.3-percent tax on sales of all medical devices was created as part of President Obama’s 2010 healthcare reform law to help pay for its expansion of health insurance coverage to as many as 30 million more Americans. The tax is projected to raise about $2.9 billion per year.

According to Cook Medical company executive Pete Yonkman, the tax on medical devices, set to take effect next year, will cost the company roughly $20 million a year, cutting into capital that would otherwise go toward expanding into new facilities over the next five years.

"In reality, we're not looking at the U.S. to build factories anymore as long as this tax is in place. We can't, to be competitive," Yonkman said.

This is the equivalent of about a plant a year that we're not going to be able to build," a company spokesman told FoxNews.com .

He said the original plan was to build factories in "hard-pressed" Midwestern communities, each employing up to 300 people. But those factories cost roughly the same amount as the projected cost of the new tax."

http://www.franklinindependentjournal.com/hom...

Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the "Employment Prevention Team" give us this:

We had hoped, as we get bigger, that that would be our model for expansion,” Yonkman said.“To take these small manufacturing facilities and bring them to these communities, that had been hard hit by jobs leaving, because the work ethic is amazing and the people are really supportive and excited.”

Yonkman said Cook had planned to open a similar facility each year for the next five years.

“So, for us,” he added,“that’s one less facility per year that we’re going to be able to use because of the tax.”

Cook officials have long been critical of the medical device tax. Even before it became law, Bill Cook said it could cost the company as many as 1,000 jobs."

Mitt Romney assumes we are stupid and content to just let him "fix" things for us. He assumes that low income and middle-class taxpayers have no complaints if he provides a bonus to the wealthy. He's sure you won't mind if he deregulates us again, overturns healthcare reform and leaves you were you were before, because he doesn't really have any other ideas (like Israel did with healthcare and which he so admired), but who cares? He and his friends are all covered by Cadillac health care coverage. Cool.
Mitt Romney assumes that the less you know, the better off you are..
Mitt Romney assumes you are so unhappy with the economy that you'll ignore the clouds of confusion and obfuscation surrounding his positions and simply vote him in waiting to learn what surprises he has in store for you. Don't be surprised if it's not more war. He's big on spending more of your tax contributions on Defense and less on staving children or education. He knows NOTHING about public education, and he doesn't really care. Just borrow some money from your father to enroll your children in a really good "for profit" private school. They'll be so much better off.
You know what? We are blessed to have Michelle Obama married to the President. She, by gawd, knows about poor people and their struggles and the reality of how hard things can be. She is a blessing most of you have no idea about. She hasn't forgotten her roots or her people, and it shows when she is among people. She's for real. I honestly cannot say the same thing for Ann Romney.
"Obama assumes we are stupid and content to just let him "fix" what he has not been able to fix in 3.75 years. And I mean there is NO sign of a REAL plan or hope".

"Obama assumes that the less you know, the better off you are." That is why he has spent $900,000 TAX DOLLARS sealing his past from us.

"Obama assumes you are so unhappy with the economy that you'll ignore the clouds of confusion and obfuscation surrounding his positions and simply vote him in waiting to learn what surprises he has in store for you." I mean, they have to be surprises, as he has shown us nothing but ignorance and mismanagement the 3.75 years!

"Obama, He's big on spending more of your tax contributions on "shovel ready" and "Green jobs". Sadly, neither exist and in fact turned into a great way to reward campaign contributors with BILLIONS of tax dollars and then let them file bankruptcy with no repercussions. He did the same with GM for $50 BILLION tax dollars! Obama will threaten to spend less on staving children or education if he cannot squeeze the middle class, because his "people" are not paying taxes and he gives tax breaks, even giving IRS waivers to his "favorite" corporations, so who is left to pay for it?

"Obama knows NOTHING about public education, and he doesn't really care." That is why he will continue to court the Teachers Union while sacrificing the children's already sub-standard public education, which has not improved one iota in 3.75 years, while opposing privatizing schools, which has shown tremendous strides in IMPROVING student participation and learning, on the alter of reelection!

Then, the Coup de Grax!

"Michelle was raised on Chicago's South Side in a one-bedroom apartment. Her father, Frasier Robinson, was a city pump operator and a Democratic precinct captain. Her mother, Marian, was a Spiegel's secretary who later stayed home to raise Michelle and her older brother, Craig. "

"She, by gawd, knows about poor people and their struggles and the reality of how hard things can be. She is a blessing most of you have no idea about. She hasn't forgotten her roots or her people, and it shows when she is among people. "

Quick question, NTR:

How does a Chicago City pump operator afford to send not one but TWO children to Princeton and then to Harvard Law?

"her people", indeed.

Please show me where I've been hypocritical. I provide enough evidence of your hypocrisy every day to fill an encyclopedia. You just don't bother to read the facts that show you and your beliefs to be false. You simply overlook them and make up stuff to justify your ignorance. It's just way too easy these days and everybody sees it. So, please, carry on with being a legend in your own mind.

Fully agree.

Okay, let’s keep it real simple for you since you obviously stopped thinking for yourself and started to drink from the fountain of the rightwing propaganda machinery! There was a time, not so long ago, when Kings and Queens ruled the world. Only the royal families had millions or billions, one or two even had a trillion. Common folks got sick and tired of their excesses and callousness toward us ‘the rubble’ so they started revolutions around the world to rid themselves of the age old menace. Millions of people died in the process of establishing democratic governments. Today we have very few monarchies left and almost all of them are merely symbolic. Enter the modern day wealthy, we now have literally thousands of Billionaires around the world, most of them in the U.S.A. they have more money than any of those royals ever had. Now clearly, no one needs a trillion or a billion dollars to have a decent and comfortable life, I think we can all agree on that. So just suppose for a minute, each of these mega Kings and Queens would pick a construction project around the world and volunteer a tiny part of their purse to pay for it. For instance, in Italy the Coliseum needs restoration, here in US every State has a number of historic sites or buildings in need of restoration. It would put to work thousands of people and put a massive amounts of money into our starving economy! It really could be that simple -- but NOOOO, the rightwing insists that those Kings and Queens of mega fortune must be cuddled by all cost!

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5%(less than what the government Pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Libra

Be very careful when handling financial matters today because not everything is as straightforward as it seems. For instance, someone may tell you about a fail-safe way of making money but neglect to mention all the reasons why it's totally illegal. There could also be mistakes if you're spending money, such as being short-changed or overcharged. So watch out!
