Obama: Tough call on
letting a son play football

Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:NorthernDog, 1/27/2013 10:17:51 AM

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is a big football fan with two daughters, but if he had a son, he says he´d "have to think long and hard" before letting him play because of the physical toll the game takes. "I think that those of us who love the sport are going to have to wrestle with the fact that it will probably change gradually to try to reduce some of the violence," Obama tells The New Republic. "In some cases, that may make it a little bit less exciting, but it will be a whole lot better

Next liberal target: football. No touching, No scorekeeping, no one can ever win.

Gosh darn it, aren´t we lucky to have such a caring Furher, oops I mean Dictator, oops I mean president who by golly wants to make sure that none of us will ever be unhappy or in danger thanks to his goverment control over every tiny aspect of our lives. I mean really we should all get down on our knees and offer up prayers of gratitute that we have such a great loving, caring leader!

Notice how our watchdog media, represented n this propaganda article by the AP, treats Dictator Obama´s totalitarian statement as if it was such a nice family man statement and makes it seem like the most natural thing in the world for this Dictator to meddle in everything.

What they should be writing is what damn business is it of this Dictator to stick his nose into a private enterprise, the NFL, to imply that his regime will be imposing rules on the game of football. The propaganda media must be destroyed if we hope to bring back our great nation from the brink of destruction.

By the way Obama doesn´t have a son because the eggs implanted in the First Wookie´s womb were female. Someone should tell him that in order to have a chance at a son he needs to perform the act of coitus with his wife which is something I am sure he avoids like the plague.

Since he doesn´t have sons, but does have daughters, he can now let the little darlings enlist and go to Iran or Iraq to fight in the front lines. Oh wait, instant General girls don´t do that.

Pro football players get paid fortunes to play a dangerous contact game, and it is a personal choice. Soldiers risk their lives and get paid hardly anything for risking their lives in combat. Special rules for football players, but send women into combat. Get real.

If Obama had a son, he would likely be the same un-athletic, limp-wristed, metrosexual as his father. He would be "Wedgie Boy" in the locker room, and couldn´t even be trusted to be an equipment manager. Likely, he´d steal all the equipment to give out to his friends. After all, it is unfair that the athletes "get all the free stuff."

On the other hand, if his son took after Moochelle, he would be the team´s star linebacker. Disliked by all because of his big mouth, but a formidable force.

US delays missile test to avoid

The US defence department has delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test that had been planned for next week at an air force base in California amid mounting tensions with North Korea, according to a senior official. Defence secretary Chuck Hagel reportedly decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until next month because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the Korean crisis. "This is the logical, prudent and responsible course of action to take," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The test was not connected to the ongoing annual

BOISE, Idaho — Authorities in eastern Idaho are investigating the shooting deaths of two men and a woman whose bodies were found in a home that contained a marijuana grow operation. The deaths took place sometime between Thursday afternoon and evening by someone who had some type of relationship with the victims, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office said. The bodies were discovered Friday outside Holbrook, a town of about 400 people just north of the Idaho-Utah state line. Authorities said a 2-month-old was found under the arm of one of the victims — 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter.

LOS ANGELES — The role of female talk show hosts in late-night TV network history, all 50-plus years of it, can be summed up in two words: Joan Rivers.

Young supporters hold signs outside Hillary Rodham Clinton´s speeches urging her to run for president. Audiences listen with rapt attention as she discusses the plight of women and girls in developing countries. Even a long-expected book deal announcement generates lots of chatter. Not long after Clinton stepped down as President Barack Obama´s secretary of state, the "will she or won´t she" question is already following her around like the activists who held dark blue "Ready for Hillary" signs outside speeches at the Kennedy Center in Washington and New York´s Lincoln Center. This past week, Clinton came off a two-month break

NEW YORK -- In case Americans want to scarf down their fast-food even faster, KFC is stripping the bones out of its chicken. The fast-food chain says it´s introducing deep-fried boneless chicken pieces on April 14 as an alternative to its traditional breast, thigh and drumstick pieces. The new offering reflects the growing popularity of nuggets and strips that are easier to eat on the go, as well as Americans´ seemingly endless desire for more convenient foods. KFC says nearly four out of five servings of chicken sold in the U.S. are now boneless. Based on customer trends

Melting Glaciers Are Increasing
Extent Of Sea Ice In Antarctica,
Says Counterintuitive Study
Popular Science, by Rebecca Boyle    Original Article

Climate change is expanding sea ice in Antarctica, a paradoxical finding that appears to be the result of melting glaciers, according to a new study. As freshwater glaciers melt, cold water sinks into the ocean, keeping the sea colder than it would otherwise be. The fresh water is less dense than seawater, so it floats on the top layer of the ocean, which in turn stays cooler. That makes it easier for the seas to freeze again in the Antarctic fall and winter, scientists say. This negative feedback is expected to continue, they added. Sea ice levels

No more war and Peeps, please. Some people (Peeple?) find it amusing to torment or mutilate Peeps, the sugarcoated fluorescent marshmallow Easter candies in the form of chicks and bunnies (or additional shapes during other holidays). Consider, for example, the sport of Peeps jousting, in which someone places two Peeps chicks (the bunnies don’t work for this game) in a microwave with toothpicks in their chests. As the Peeps heat up, they expand and appear to be jousting with each other. The candy that stabs the other first wins. Both Peeps end up as gooey globs.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
