Barack Obama recently underwent a 90 minute physical examination, his first as president. White House physician, Navy Capt. Jeffrey Kuhlman pronounces Obama as “the picture of health,” but recommends he “continue smoking cessation efforts, maintain a daily exercise program, keep a healthy diet, exercise moderation in alcohol intake, receive periodic dental care and modify his diet to lower his elevated cholesterol.”

For his continued smoking, doctors say he continues to use “self-use nicotine replacement therapy.”

No mention on just how much alcohol he consumes that doctors would recommend “moderation of alcohol intake.”

Baghdad Jim Mc Dermott of Washington brought the US House of Representatives to a standstill last night when other Congressmen caught wind of language he  inserted into the Intelligence Authorization Act (here).

Cruel, Inhumane, or torture is, in Baghdad Jim McDermott’s world, making fun of the terrorist’s religion:

Page 5 line 13, subsection 2

(ii) Exploiting phobias of the individual.

(iii) Using force or the threat of force to coerce an individual to desecrate the individual’s religious artcles, or to blaspheme his or her religious beliefs, or to otherwise participate in acts intended to violate the individual’s religious beliefs.

(iv) Making threats against any individual that, if carried out, would result in death or serious bodily injury

 Let’s put this in perspective, shall we? The people who for example put explosives in their shoes, underwear, and attempted to fly jumbo jets into buildings can’t be teased about their religion because we’re afraid we’re going to HURT THEIR FEELINGS?
Is this an attempt to bring hate crimes legislation into the milieu of CIA spooks trying to find out where the next Jumbo Jet explosion is going to be?
Of course it is.
Here’s the Congressman who couldn’t bring himself to include the words, “under God,” in the Pledge of Allegiance and he’s worried we’ll offend terrorists’ religion?
The ‘phobia’ portion of his definition of torture or cruel inhumane treatment pertains to an incident in which interrogators considered putting a CATERPILLAR in the room with a terrorist BUT DIDN’T!
Really, Jim? Who’s side are you on, anyway?

Dear Ms. Taft:
I was listening to your show the other night, and it has actually taken me two full days to calm down enough to write a response regarding the part of Valerie Jarret & Pelosi previous comments, suggesting a book for tea party members, and or supporters basically Politics for dummies.  These smug and artificial person’s should start packing their face creams, facial masks, and false teeth, and hop on their brooms for one last trip home.  Their arrogance, and social elitism, have become so condescending to the peoples of America, that they absolutely need to go. 
I attended the Tea Party, and I must tell you I am proud to have seen and been a part of the beginning steps of the taking back of America, from an outrageous group of Social elitists. .  I really wish Nancy no ill will other than what she is. I think she is an outdated, arrogant, overrated,  poisonous, elitist, condescending, evil, nasty, non human, shrill.  I could not give or wish her anything more that she has or is.
