New warning on 'perfect vaginas'
Labioplasty involves cutting excess tissue that protrudes from the vagina
Excess tissue? Can you imagine the advertisement for this procedure:
Do you hear a loud flapping sound all the time when you're standing outside in strong breeze?
Are you in a permanent state of "camel toe"?
Does your vagina constantly say "Feed me, Seymour, Feed me ?"
You might be a candidate for labioplasty.
But they say labioplasty is a serious operation, one I can't imagine anybody going through.

Petition Calls for NFL Running Back to Be Sacked After Gay Slurs
As Larry Johnson nears the Kansas City Chiefs' all-time rushing record, more than 10,000 fans have signed an online petition pleading for team officials to deactivate the running back after he posted homosexual slurs on his Twitter account.
Sorry - but I part with my fellow gays on this.
Nobody should lose their job because they said stupid somethings on Twitter! Alot of us would be homeless if that happened.
Gay leaders and groups have to get a grip. Balls are not only for putting in your mouth - you got to wear them once in awhile too.

Henninger: Obama and the Old Hat People 10/28/2009
Daniel Henninger discusses how Democrats are out of sync with the spirit of the age.
The article they are talking about in the video:
Obama and the Old Hat People
In a world defined by nearly 100,000 iPhone apps, a world of seemingly limitless, self-defined choice, the Democrats are pushing the biggest, fattest, one-size-fits all legislation since 1965. And they brag this will complete the dream Franklin D. Roosevelt had - in 1939.
The one lump that won't change is government. Government in our time is looking out of it.

Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into viewers' hearts with Dirty Dancing and then broke them with Ghost, died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, the longtime Massachusetts lawmaker whose personal tragedies along with his professional triumphs and losses unfolded in the public eye, has died at his home in Hyannis Port after battling a brain tumor. He was 77.
Don Hewitt, recognized as a father of modern television news and the creator of the medium's most successful broadcast, 60 Minutes, died today. He was 86.
The news media has been buzzing about a few Anti-Democrat-healthcare opponents comparing the Obama Healthcare symbol with that of the Nazi Germany's symbol.
But did you ever notice the news media never shows you what the Nazi symbol looks like - for a side-by-side comparison?
Sorry gang, but there are similiarities. Except for Obama supporters, most of you are grown adults - you can make up your own minds.
Too bad the mainstream news media are shills for the Democrat Party.

BILL CLINTON: You wanna talk about "Don't Ask Don't Tell", I'll tell you exactly what happened. You couldn't deliver me any support in the Congress and they voted by a veto-proof majority in both houses against my attempt to let gays serve in the military and the media supported them. They raised all kinds of devilment. And all most of you did was to attack me instead of getting some support in the Congress. Now, that's the truth.
Clinton went on to explain why he signed DOMA: We were attempting at the time, in a very reactionary congress, to head off an attempt to send a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage to the states. And if you look at the Levin referendum much later in 2004, in the election, which the Republicans put on the ballot, to try to get the base vote for President Bush up, I think it's obvious that something had to be done to try to keep the Republican congress presenting that.
Huh?
Basically it comes down to this: Republicans forced Clinton to sign "Don't Ask Don't Tell " and DOMA.
And BTW - You gays are to blame too.

Les Paul, the guitarist and inventor who changed the course of music with the electric guitar and multitrack recording and had a string of hits, many with wife Mary Ford, died on Thursday. He was 94.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the July deficit totaled $180.7 billion, slightly more than the $177.5 billion economists had expected.
The Obama administration is projecting that when the current budget year ends on Sept. 30, the imbalance will total $1.84 trillion, more than four times last year's record-high.
The total public debt now stands at $11.6 trillion. Interest payments on the debt cost $452 billion last year, the largest federal spending category after Medicare-Medicaid, Social Security and defense.

The Barbra Streisand about the debate is that Republicans do not have the power to stop the takeover of 1/6th of our economy by the Democrats and the federal government.
CURRENTLY, there are 256 Democrats and 178 Republicans in the US House of Representatives; and 58 Democrats, 40 Republicans, and 2 Independents (who aligned themselves with the Democrats, bringing the Democrat caucus to 60 members) in the US Senate.
Did you ever ask yourself: Why is it that Democrats want you to forget these numbers?
The number of Blue-Dog Democrats (Democrats with some conservative issues like anti-abortion, pro-gun rights, anti-gay marriage) in the US House is around 52 members. Republicans could form an alliance with the Blue Dogs and stop or better yet reform the health care plan to make so it actually targets people who don't have healthcare insurance instead of putting a bulls-eye on everybody's back - but such an alliance is unlikely.
Democrats are determined to have government control of healthcare. Do not say that it is "not a takeover". The Democrats are making the rules. They are creating the new bureaucracies that will oversee the new healthcare system. Everybody will have to live by their rules.
The Democrats will be creating new dependents for the government so you dare not vote against a Democrat and lose your new-found entitlement.

A Heath-Ledger-Joker poster of Obama is appearing around L.A. - culprit unknown at this point.
I'm surprised somebody has the guts to post this. Rule of political law is you are not to publicly post bad things about Democrats, especially a Democrat president. George W as Hitler: OK. Obama as Hitler or the Joker: jail time.
