I just got home from a trip to Home Depot in my TRUCK. I got a load of supplies for several projects I am working on. People that make life bearable for other people drive TRUCKS. Most do not have time for politics. They might turn on the news a day or two before an election. They saw Obama and said he can not be any worse than the last one so I will give him a shot. He had some great ideas. But that was the problem Obama is having now. It was not about better government it was about power over the people. And it was about the TRUCK. If you did not go to Harvard or Columbia you can not possibly understand how to run a government. Obama said he never needed a truck to create tremendous amounts of good for the people of Chicago. Think of a democrat campaign as a Saudi beauty pageant. You will see nothing to base your decision on and and you will be given ten seconds to mark your vote. The new senator from Massachusetts said it was all about the TRUCK. How could Obama be so stupid as to insult all people that use a TRUCK? The answer is obvious to me. The speach writer went to Harvard.
You get better treatment if you are a leftist communist state. Honduras is our strongest ally south of us. But you would never know that as you see Chavez getting all the support in his misadventure in Honduras. But if Mass can see what I see there is hope for all of us. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704509704575019040086141472.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
It is kind of like being bull shit boarded. And it is torture.
When Obama speaks I feel myself being drowned in bull shit. I double up on my medication to make it to the next day.
I saw an interview between Grayson and Leg That Tingles when Obama speaks. I thought they were both nuts. But Leg That Tingles is not taken seriously by anyone. Since Grayson has power he is dangerous. Kind of like this guy. http://www.sphere.com/nation/article/las-vegas-bound-flight-diverted-because-of-unruly-passenger/19328972?icid=main|main|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sphere.com%2Fnation%2Farticle%2Flas-vegas-bound-flight-diverted-because-of-unruly-passenger%2F19328972
That is one of our guys. I am supporting a group that is going to take him out. The group is called our congressman is nuts. Help us.
Great Scott!!!! This board has divergent opinions and no insults. And the board marks are moving up fast. Asus you have a winner here. Congratulations.
The most frequent visitor to the white house is the head of SEIU. Those are service employee unions. Now the Supreme court has allowed anyone to contribute to elections. Obama will fight this because he wants to buy another election. Obama's campaign was a bait and switch operation many consider one of the best ever constructed. This was supposed to be the worker's paradise just like North Korea and Cuba. The problem is that all of his lies are on tape. Obama demonized Bush. Now why does Obama have to demonise corporations? Because his plan follows the hand book of radicals written by Alinsky. He lashes out at big oil but who has heard of your Mom and Pops buying oil rig when it costs 100s of millions if not billions to construct. He lashes out at big pharm but medicine the people require costs billions of dollars in research and development for each successful drug. Obama politics is an oximoron and the American people know it. See the last three elections in blue states. The Tea Baggers have spoken.
My current wife gives me tests just about every day. When I fail one too badly I am probably gone. I am going to spend a few weeks in Roatan alone. That is a test and only a test. The results of that test will be a secret. Kind of like Obamacare. Will I get voted out the same way it turned out for him? In my case I do not lie, cheat or steal. We have discussed how much money I can gamble with down there. When I lose it all I come home. The boys down there got my money last time so a game will not be hard to find. They think I am a pigeon.
So why did I have so many wives? If you have been reading my posts that should be obvious to everyone.
Have you noticed how many really smart people are left handed? I have three sons and the lefty is the only one that could succeed in a school like Harvard. He is really able to focus on a project he is working on but still have many irons in the fire. I can really focus on only a limited number of projects. That is why I got good grades in science and barely passed easier courses.
My second wife studied medicine and was a neuro specialist. She did research on brains and always asked me about the anatomy. You should also enjoy this.By Amber Hensley
The differences between women and men are not only well-documented, but frequently at the heart of jokes, anecdotes, and good-natured (and not so good-natured) ribbing. Experts have discovered that there are actually differences in the way women’s and men’s brains are structured and in the way they react to events and stimuli. So the next time your wife, boyfriend, or parent starts telling you how you should have done something differently, then refer back to these big differences between men’s and women’s brains.
1.Human relationships. Women tend to communicate more effectively than men, focusing on how to create a solution that works for the group, talking through issues, and utilizes non-verbal cues such as tone, emotion, and empathy whereas men tend to be more task-oriented, less talkative, and more isolated. Men have a more difficult time understanding emotions that are not explicitly verbalized, while women tend to intuit emotions and emotional cues. These differences explain why men and women sometimes have difficulty communicating and why men-to-men friendships look different from friendships among women.
2.Left brain vs. both hemispheres. Men tend to process better in the left hemisphere of the brain while women tend to process equally well between the two hemispheres. This difference explains why men are generally stronger with left-brain activities and approach problem-solving from a task-oriented perspective while women typically solve problems more creatively and are more aware of feelings while communicating.
3.Mathematical abilities. An area of the brain called the inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) is typically significantly larger in men, especially on the left side, than in women. This section of the brain is thought to control mental mathematical ability, and probably explains why men frequently perform higher in mathematical tasks than do women. Interestingly, this is the same area of Einstein’s brain that was discovered to be abnormally large. The IPL also processes sensory information, and the larger right side in women allows them to focus on, "specific stimuli, such as a baby crying in the night."
4.Reaction to stress. Men tend to have a "fight or flight" response to stress situations while women seem to approach these situations with a "tend and befriend" strategy. Psychologist Shelley E. Taylor coined the phrase "tend and befriend" after recognizing that during times of stress women take care of themselves and their children (tending) and form strong group bonds (befriending). The reason for these different reactions to stress is rooted in hormones. The hormone oxytocin is released during stress in everyone. However, estrogen tends to enhance oxytocin resulting in calming and nurturing feelings whereas testosterone, which men produce in high levels during stress, reduces the effects of oxytocin.
5.Language. Two sections of the brain responsible for language were found to be larger in women than in men, indicating one reason that women typically excel in language-based subjects and in language-associated thinking. Additionally, men typically only process language in their dominant hemisphere, whereas women process language in both hemispheres. This difference offers a bit of protection in case of a stroke. Women may be able to recover more fully from a stroke affecting the language areas in the brain while men may not have this same advantage.
6.Emotions. Women typically have a larger deep limbic system than men, which allows them to be more in touch with their feelings and better able to express them, which promotes bonding with others. Because of this ability to connect, more women serve as caregivers for children. The down side to this larger deep limbic system is that it also opens women up to depression, especially during times of hormonal shifts such as after childbirth or during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
7.Brain size. Typically, men’s brains are 11-12% bigger than women’s brains. This size difference has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence, but is explained by the difference in physical size between men and women. Men need more neurons to control their greater muscle mass and larger body size, thus generally have a larger brain.
8.Pain. Men and women perceive pain differently. In studies, women require more morphine than men to reach the same level of pain reduction. Women are also more likely to vocalize their pain and to seek treatment for their pain than are men. The area of the brain that is activated during pain is the amygdala, and researchers have discovered that in men, the right amygdala is activated and in women, the left amygdala is activated. The right amygdala has more connections with areas of the brain that control external functions while the right amygdala has more connections with internal functions. This difference probably explains why women perceive pain more intensely than do men.
9.Spatial ability. Men typically have stronger spatial abilities, or being able to mentally represent a shape and its dynamics, whereas women typically struggle in this area. Medical experts have discovered that women have a thicker parietal region of the brain, which hinders the ability to mentally rotate objects–an aspect of spatial ability. Research has shown this ability in babies as young as 5 months old, negating any ideas that these abilities were strengthened by environmental influences.
10.Susceptibility to disorders. Because of the way men and women use the two hemispheres of the brain differently, there are some disorders that men and women are susceptible to in different ways. Men are more apt to have dyslexia or other language problems. If women have dyslexia, they are more likely to compensate for it. Women, on the other hand, are more susceptible to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. While handedness is not a disorder, these brain tendencies also explain why more men are left-handed than are women. Men are also more likely to be diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and Tourette’s Syndrome.
Neuroglia are the cells that protect and nourish the functional cells called neurons.
The greatest brain of all time. He donated his brain to science and had more neuroglia than any brain I have ever studied. During the series, Dr Lythgoe profiles the individuals involved in the bizarre life after death journey of Einstein’s brain, including Dr Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who removed and dissected Einstein’s brain and Mr Steven Levy, a journalist who eventually rediscovered the brain in a cider box in Dr Harvey’s living room in Wichita, Kansas.
Months before his death, Einstein wrote to his biographer, Carl Seelig, expressing the idea that he wanted to donate his body to science. However, he failed to leave any explicit instructions, and the removal of his brain was Dr Harvey’s idea. He said: “I just knew we had permission to do an autopsy and I assumed that we were going to study the brain.” Einstein’s family only learned about the brain’s removal upon reading a report in the New York Times the following day. Even Otto Nathan, Einstein’s friend and executor of his estate, failed to realise what was happening, despite witnessing the autopsy.
After the removal of the brain, Dr Harvey cut it into 240 fine sections and embedded it in celodin to allow for microscopic examination. After the discovery of parts of the brain in a cider box in Dr Harvey’s living room in 1996 by Steven Levy, the remaining pieces of the brain were presented to Dr Elliot Krauss, chief pathologist at Princeton Hospital.
For the first time since Einstein’s death, Dr Lythgoe has reconstructed the brain as it would have looked when it was removed in 1955. Using photographs taken by Dr Harvey after it was removed, and a state-of-the-art computer controlled laser-modelling process known as stereolithography, he has created a micron-accurate, life-sized model of the brain. Dr Lythgoe said: “When I examined it, I felt as if I had climbed to the top of a mountain and enjoyed a view – one of intellectual creativity – that has never been seen before.”
Einstein’s brain weighed only 1,230 grams, less than the average adult brain which weighs about 1,400 grams. However, the density of neurons was greater. Dr Lythgoe said: “Normally the parietal cortex is divided by a deep groove, but his was absent in Einstein’s brain, merging two remote regions and increasing connectivity in this area. Recent studies have linked this area with mathematical skills and those around it with visuospatial processing, and now we know that this anatomical feature makes sense.”
2005 marks the centenary of the publication of Einstein’s groundbreaking articles on special relativity, Brownian motion and the photoelectric effect, which appeared in a leading German physics journal. Despite failing to get a job at a university, Einstein made his discoveries in his spare time while working in the Swiss Patent office, and was subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
Dr Lythgoe said: “Despite the best efforts of scientists and philosophers, nobody has yet explained the true nature of genius in the human mind, or the secret of Einstein’s astonishing scientific creativity.”

I went to a one room country school. I had none of the "so called" advantages of going to the right schools. I was inferior and did not even know it. That is how dumb I was. I had the highest score in the Northern portion of the state and was not even told of the results at the time. The only reason I found out is that I was asked to compete state wide in an achievement test. When I got there I was asked by others if I knew the guy that scored the best on the first test. They had my name. Now why would my teacher or my parents not tell me? I think they thought I would end up like Obama and change my name to Gustavus Adolphus or something just as Obama changed his name from Barry Sotero to Barrack. They did not want me to think I was better than anyone. And they were right. I am not special in any way. If Palin just comes across as one of us and hires some decent Jews or Asians to give her four or five plans she can choose the best one. She damn sure will not let THEM JEWS into the white house. If you are new here THEM JEWS were the originators of communism and leftist dictatorships. And they we killing machines. I am not very bright but I do read history. Bright people that could not be re-educated had to be killed. Just as in Russia, Cuba, China and now probably Venezuela. The Jews are in more danger than I am because they are often the inventors, the business people and the creators of wealth. They are also hard to run over even though Hitler took care of the passive ones. We must remember that the greatest brain possibly in the history of man was a Jew.
To see the difference between a liberal and a communist look at Clinton and Obama. When Clinton saw he was opposite of We The People he changed course. Obama just wants to stay the course and the people be damned.
Ignoring the constitution in Honduras is treason. Obama take note.
That is absolutely true. Liberal is not communism. I am also involved in politics in Honduras even though I do not have a vote but my Honduran relatives do. I do not push the repubs because I think I am a democrat. At least I used to be. I am probably a Tea Party now because I will support an honest man if I can find one. Party labels are passe now. The last time I looked about half the country is now the Tea Party. As far as Honduras--yep they are the Tea Party too. Honduran politics - Much has been made in the press of the recent Honduran “coup”. What actually happened was that the president became too close to Hugo Chavez and was in the process of trying to install himself as a life president. Honduras has a constitution that only permits one term for its presidents (4 years). This is to ensure that no one is able to become a self styled dictator. Trying to change or even proposing to change this part of the constitution is not only illegal but regarded as treason. The constitution was written like this to ensure that democracy is upheld.
When the president tried to enact his Chavez orchestrated takeover the Supreme Court and congress ordered the military to remove Zeleya from the presidential palace. He was sent to Costa Rica as the Congress was concerned that there could be civil unrest as it was known that Chavez had sent over a thousand paramilitary personnel to assist Zeleya. This is documented as they were issued passports so that they could not be thrown out of the country if the takeover met with resistance.
In the afternoon of the same day Zeleya was removed, congress elected an interim president who will sit until the November election. At no time were the military ever in control of any aspect of the government, and every action that was taken by them was done so at the request of the Supreme Court and Congress.
No one is really sure why the Obama lead administration is so adamant that a wannabe dictator is returned to power but we can only assume that it has something to do with the oil and gas reserves that have been found off the north coast of Honduras. What ever the reason the people of Honduras and the foreign investment community are greatly relieved that Honduras has proven once and for all that democracy and free trade are the rule of law here and they will not allow anyone to change that, including the Obama administration.
Why am I pulling for the hated Jets? The South Florida economy will benefit most by bringing to town Favre and the Jets. The people in New York turned on Favre when he got hurt and tried to play with one arm. We all saw that. The Dolphins have a team built on the same blueprint as the hated Jets. The Dolphins beat the Jets twice and one game was not even close. The awful Jets fans will show up in droves. And we will go to businesses just to spit on them. And the economy will be helped here where it is needed most.
Back on the farm we put a bell on the lead cow. She was experienced, highly productive and she knew where the best grass was to feed the herd. With her bell we always knew were the herd was. We had a area of about a hundred acres that was not suitable for cultivating but it was great pasture and shade with plenty of good water. We always knew were the herd was and what they were doing. But the people in American chose as their leader a calf that was still sucking hind tit. He likes to go into secret rooms and has no idea that you must provide incentives to the productive private sector. His idea is that everyone should have a tit to suck on and only big government is smart enough to provide those tits to suck on. Experience in making hard decisions comes from being in the trenches not in Ivy league schools. Eastern schools insulate the thinking to a select few that tell each other how smart they are and how dumb the rest of the country is. Congress has adopted that culture so they meet in secret so we can not see the cards. Some card sharks can cheat for years without getting caught. But the time has come to turn over all the cards.
Is it a high volume top or a high volume bottom? We have fought this fight before. I have an idea but since I am not in the market now I do not have opinions on stocks.
The kids did grow up to become Obama voters. And now some of them are in the white house as key advisors to the president.
My first wife was a teacher. She had a court ordered transfer to one of THEM schools. Her class room was repeatedly trashed and they shit in the drawers of her desk. They keyed her car and slashed her tires. She was an excellent teacher. She quit and went to work for a medical supply business.
Both of my sons have worked the drug gangs in that area. When one of my sons was a nineteen year old officer he was placed under cover in one of the schools. It was bad--it was really bad.
I was teaching in college as a young man in the sixties. Children from "good homes" would drop out and sit around a smoke weed and go to love fests. They felt that they were superior to the people that worked, saved and invested. They begged, borrowed and stole for a living. Many would follow those drug infested heavy metal bands that were springing up everywhere. Dumpster diving behind stores and restaurants and selling dope was their profession. Did we hear much about drug use and Obama? It was there for all to see if they were willing to look. Now the former stoners are in politics like never before.
I am trying to teach my old retired friends how to defend themselves against attacks from the communists and would be dictators. At first they get shy and timid when lefty attacks them for being stupid. Then I point out that lefty probably cheated to get through school and I give examples and if he is not cheating on his taxes he is cheating on his wife and kids. When lefty calls you a racist do not even blink. Eric Holder told everyone that you would run like hell with that trick. Lefty is cunning, he is desperate right now and he is vulnerable. The more insecure he gets the nastier he will get. Know the enemy and take him out using his own flaws.
My mistake. But FDR stole it from Francis Bacon. See lefty steal.
"If these folks want a fight, it's a fight we're ready to have." Obama has declared war on America. He sounded like Winston Churchill "there is nothing to fear but fear itself." We fear you but we have just begun to fight.
Holder and Obama have joined forces with the terrorists so expect some real hits on this country before they are arrested.
If the dems like me and the Tea Party combine forces we can put crooks in jail. Holder instead a being the top cop should be in Gitmo.
See lefty run. See lefty lie, cheat and steal. We have a black woman that stole money meant to go to her constituents. She is removed from office. Since she was only charged and not convicted yet, she ran for the office in a special election and won by getting eighty percent of the vote from the people she stole from. Now if she can get those people on the jury she will win big time. Maybe even run for senator or president. When Teddy cheated his way through school, killed a young female with his drunkeness and depravity, the lefties in Mass knew they had their hero.
I have dissected many brains in my life. I always looked for the loose screw to see if I have a lefty on the table.
I think this is the reason women talk more than men. Those super highways are white matter. Men have much more grey matter.
Here is an interesting read. http://www.livescience.com/health/050120_brain_sex.html
We do need to reach the college kids. I do not say we need to indoctrinate them like the hard left. We need to teach them that there is no free lunch. If someone gives you a hand out rather than a hand up he now owns you. That is the problem. You can not get elected now unless you sell out for money. By the time someone gets to congress they are not a free thinker. Looks like Ron Paul is on my team. "But the good news is that it need not be so bad if we do the right thing. I saw “Something Big” happening in the past 18 months on the campaign trail. I was encouraged that we are capable of waking up and doing the right thing. I have literally met thousands of high school and college kids who are quite willing to accept the challenge and responsibility of a free society and reject the cradle-to-grave welfare that is promised them by so many do-good politicians."
It IS about hormones and they kick in before birth. "Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small country road."
My room mate in college lives in Pa. He is usually a voting liberal. He thinks women are a valuable asset to the country and some are even qualified to high office. I agree with that. He is on hard times now but wanted to know if I could help him protect women from Arlen Sphincter. He wants to start a grass roots movement in his community. He needs a little seed money. So save Haiti with my donation or help out a state. I chose to help Pa.
Crony capitalism is as old as this country but is there anything wrong with turning the family business over to your kids? There is something wrong with that if they are not allowed to fail by the government. Communism failed in the Russian Empire because the only thing they could make was weapons. State run factories could not keep up. "We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us." Humans have always played war. They will always play war. Why because people war. If you think we can just debate and learn from each other and then compromise to reach a consusus you are a moderate. Corporate greed on the right side kills. Lazy, totally irresponsible, mentally challenged, drug and alcohol affected masses can be bought by the left. If you can survive without working they will. When our Honor Society selected projects we went into blighted areas and started cleaning up the mess. Some of their children joined us but the adults just sat on the porch and watched us. We have rats and garbage all over here and the president does not come here to clean it up. In Oregon there was no trash along the highway. When I asked my enviromental professor how that was possible he said they do not want to end up like California. Now he was a liberal that I could vote for. He said try throwing garbage out the window of your car when other drivers see you. You will get arrested by the citizens if the cops are not around. Freedom without discipline is not freedom at all. If you must carry a gun are you really free. Democracy does not work for long. In Washington the lefties want to make sure every one votes including people in prison. Driving should be a privilage that is earned and so should the right to vote. When moon rocks like the Simpson jury decide our fate we are doomed.
Reagan carried 49 of the 50 states so who is the next Reagan?
