I beat cancer in my lifetime. I whipped it's little ass so don't tell me what is possible and what isn't.



So there.

LOL! In the right context, that is a hall of fame post.

'Cure for cancer' is a little vague, no? Given that there are a myriad different types and causes of cancer. Some cancer is treatable.

Now they're talking about a glass of red wine a day increasing the risks of three types of cancer and helping prevent two other types.

It was a great speech. It was just filled with bullshit and promises he can never complete. Smoke and mirrors, just like any presidential speech before Congress. The simpletons enjoy hearing any president tell them what they want to believe.

And the simpletons have a pretty large say over your future.

Isn't that a scream?

Its been an interesting spectacle to observe from afar.

Joe the Plumber, the lead off hitter, saying he doesnt see anybody as a leader in the Republican Party right now but he would vote for Palin.

Throw in Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin to really get the juices flowing among the old white guys in the crowd.

Then Newt steps up to the plate and says the Republican party need to be a party of new ideas and not just the naysayers....then offers a "new idea" of tax cuts for the rich as the solution to the economic crisis.

Rush, the clean-up hitter, swats Newt aside....fuck you, Newt..who needs ideas, we just want Obama to fail....and the fans go wild!

Yea, pretty sad. As long as I can shelter my income from most of it I should be ok.

That is a pretty good summary.
