If anything gluten has helped to prevent obesity by making pigs pay top dollar for puffy poofy food lower in calories than what the porky appetites thought ingested. ...It’s the availiability of free welfare food, the smug entitlement gloating of others being forced to pay for the maintenance of your fat lazy ass, and depression triggered glutony that makes the pig.

Not so sure I agree with your hypothesis that gluten prevents obesity...I'd say it's a fact that Americans are fatter than ever.

I've seen many a morbidly-obese welfare-hog, with equally fat-pig children in tow, piloting a supersized shopping cart (or two) piled to overflowing with boxes and bags of carbohydrate/sugar laden junkfood, and not a single healthy food item in the mix.

The proof's in the puddin'.

[Girlene]

You are right. He was not there at the time, but was first on the scene. He did exchange gun fire with one of the shooters, but missed. Columbine High School cop says armed guards at schools coupled with assault weapons ban would keep students safe Learnt me somthin' new today!

[Scrambler Bob]

What’s with Tom Brokaw showing Shot Gun News, which he says not everyone gets but he does (or what did he actually say?; does he suscribe, or did he get one off the rack?).

Oh I get it, last week Gregory showed a magazine, and now Tom does too!

Then Chuck Todd calls it a 92-page newsletter.

[rodguy911]

Just heard from Morgan in Denver’s wife.He’s finally doing better after being “under the weather” for some time.
I’m wishing him a Happy New Year.

[Happy Rain]

(Mostly white) Taxpayers are paying the grocery bills of many morbidly obese welfare hogs thus subsidizing their health problems...problems that lead to many early deaths.

....deaths suffered by minorities in a large part because they tend to be more dependent on government hand-outs as a percentage of the population—cuz of past institutional racism of course/s.

So now the white devil slave master taxpayer racist is financing the obesity related deaths of minorities...

...can't win for losing.

[Fishtalk]

Love your phraseology.

Think I agree with you but not yet sure.

Which is no mind cause in all the solar system, indeed even the universe, there is no better sig line....EVER.

[Sal]

Good advice. I would make an exception for CNBC because of Maria Bartiromo and Rick Santelli who started the TEA Party.

Probably a matter of time till the NBC Politburo cuts them though. They’re way too dangerous.

[Fishtalk]

Thanks RG. been wondering that for quite a while.

Hmmmmmm.

So I guess, de facto, for past couple of years folks have been getting credited for less income...ie 4.2% grossed up as opposed to, well at the 6.2% rate ALL income was counted up until the max.

so people are essentially borrowing from their own retirement, grossed up and all that jazz, and getting NOTHING from the gubmint?

Or is full income still counted toward retired SS calculation?

I think I know the answer.

[chiller]

.."they know obama will call for “tax cuts” for everyone under 250K if we go over the cliff "

I'd bet against Obeyme upstaging Republicans with a tax cut. Higher taxes are his nirvana and the only way to pay for what he wants. Of course, the middle class is where are all the money is.

If he did, Republicans could pretty easily co-opt it , or take credit for it.

They're only play is huge spending cuts in exchange for a small debt limit increase.

[animal172]

I’d tell her politely she’s SOL. Happy New Year to all.

[Son House]

those making less than $200K and $250K

Democrats only intended to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class for 1 year, the media won’t report the details even if Democrats let it slip out long ago...

[Girlene]

I could see obama doing it. Part of his and the dems goals is to destroy the Republican party. Besides, obama never intends to pay for any of his spending. Hence the huge defecit.

[Mortrey]

Did anyone else see Jonathan Karl on This Week MISQUOTE a comment they showed in a graphic on the show this morning?

I don’t remember who the quote was from, but I remember reading the graphic AS Jonathan Karl was reading it...the very end of the quote said something about “SMALLER government”, yet, Karl read it “BIGGER (or big) government”, and no one said a damned thing about it!

[Happy Rain]

How about...

[SkyPilot]

Grahamnesty just said Panetta told him that 800,000 DoD layoff notices go out Wednesday even if this apparent deal IS passed. This is in addition to FY13’s existing 10% cut. This is in addition to 10% cuts in other non-DoD areas this week. Feinsteen said the cuts don’t account for priority, that high priority programs are also cut by 10% (actually 13.3% since it 3+ mo into the FY). That’s a DoD budget that has been cut 23% since last year.

"Sequestration will not happen!"

Un huh. Obama lied to the American people during the final debate with Romney. They media will plaster over this lie, like they do with every other lie.

Meanwhile, our military is going to be gutted.

I hope everyone is satisfied now. Judas sold his soul for 40 pieces of silver. The takers in this country settled for a direct deposit entitlement check from the government.

[CaptainK]

May I ask you what your unique way of exercising is?

[rodguy911]

Kabar is the expert on all that.
All I know is that when I give e mail my payroll to my cpa she doubles my SS and its less than what I have been paying in the past. the 2% is doubled so I wind up paying 4% less on SS.I thin kabar said that the govt. picks up the difference and that the taxpayers continue to get fully funded. Typical ozero convoluted plan.IT’s all designed to destroy the country, incrementally.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

now the white devil slave master taxpayer racist is financing the obesity related deaths of minorities...

Yup, we need to go back to the "town farms" where the homeless lived in "the poor house" and raised crops and livestock, which they then ate.

They should also have bus service into town so they'd have access to the employment office or job interviews, until they could get into the job market.

Racist? I don't care what color their skin is. How is being a freakin' parasite on working folks a skin color issue?

If they don't toil then neither should they eat.

[rodguy911]

That's the problem with the entire scenario. The rats have successfully lied so much and distorted everything beyond belief so that no one knows what is going on. Its all done by design.

So when zero gets on tv and says it all our fault a lot of people actually believe it.

You have to ask yourself however if that even makes sense? It doesn't.

So the negotiations go on over minutia.

Negotiating over how much you want to screw the producers in small business borders on insane. Is it 250k 400k, 1 million? It's like asking someone where he would like to be shot, in the head or in the foot.

Meanwhile, other negotiations go on over whether or not to cut the deficit 20 cents or 30 cents when we borrow over a trillion dollars a year more than we take in.

You gotta wonder what alternative universe our legislators live in.

[Happy Rain]

Well stated universally accepted pragmatic logical empirically proved by documented historical evidence reasoning...

How dare you you right wing racist extremist!?!?
