hahahahahaha!!!
So, after 7 years of Democratic "leadership" the economy might hit 3% GDP IN A QUARTER for the first time under that leadership, after spending over a trillion dollars in stimulus that will never be recovered, hanging on at over 7% UE, the stockmarket only going up because of the fed never ending printing of money, and millions added to welfare benefits because they can't find a job, we should be grateful and pat the idiotic demotwats on the back?
HEHEHEHEEH!!! Only idiots like the other 2 posters on this thread could actually believe that the demotwats have done an adequate job with the economy.
Morons.
I stand corrected. The previous administration did a much better job.

You are so stupid I can't believe it. I'm not even joking. Your example is utterly retarded. A bell curve can be formed out of test scores because you have a VARIETY of scores. It's one statistic based on SEVERAL DIFFERENT VARIABLES.  You need at least three variables to form a curve. If you have less than three , it's not a curve. It's a line. That what that whole "bell curve" thing means. You also need at least three variables to establish a standard deviation. If you don't have at least three variables,the difference between variables is not a standard deviation. It's just a DIFFERENCE. There's NO STANDARDIZATION. If you have only two variables in your data set (gay , straight), none of the characteristics of bell curves apply. It is actually pretty shocking that an adult can have this much trouble figuring out the basics of bell curves. Please stop lying about about taking college courses. Even an online correspondence course doesn't have such low standards and no one was ever buying it, anyway. Thats gonna leave a mark...

http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/08/us/tennessee-gun-death/index.html?hpt=hp_t2(CNN) -- A pistol in the hands of a 4-year-old boy went off during a weekend cookout, killing the wife of a Tennessee sheriff's deputy who was showing his guns to a relative, state police said Monday. No one saw the boy pick up the weapon before the shooting, which occurred Saturday night in Lebanon, east of Nashville, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said. The single shot killed 47-year-old Josephine Fanning, the wife of Wilson County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Fanning. The couple were hosting family and friends at their house when Daniel Fanning and a relative went into a bedroom to check out some of Fanning's guns, Helm said. Josephine Fanning and the boy walked into the room later, and at some point the boy picked the loaded pistol up off the bed. Helm said she wasn't sure of the relationship between the boy and the Fannings. The TBI, which investigates incidents involving law enforcement officers, is still conducting its probe, and no charges have been filed. The gun involved was Fanning's personal weapon, not his service pistol, she said. Fucking retard.

A picture of 62-year-old Nick Christie could be worth thousands of dollars when a jury sees it. The photo shows the Ohio man restrained inside the Lee County Jail with his body covered in pepper spray. "This photo is a picture of a man who is strapped to a chair naked inside a jail for hours with a hood over his face. That evokes thoughts of being tortured," says Cleveland-based lawyer Nick DiCello who represents the Christie family. The photo, which was obtained by FOX 13's investigative unit, was taken in the final hours of Christie's life. The District 21 Medical Examiner ruled his death was a homicide because he had been restrained and sprayed with pepper sprayed by law enforcement officers. But to this day, nobody has ever been charged with a crime, and the Lee County State Attorney cleared the sheriff's office of any wrong doing. It's been more than two and a half years and his wife still can't accept what happened. "I was shocked. This was something out of a horror movie," says Joyce Christie. She said her husband was depressed and was showing signs of erratic behavior a few days before leaving for Florida. She called authorities and pleaded with them to take her husband to a hospital and be given his medications. Instead, he was taken to jail for disorderly intoxication. Her lawsuit alleges he was pepper sprayed 10 times over a 48-hour period, at times while in a restraint chair. Tom DePolis spent more than 30 years in law enforcement at the Tampa Police Department and Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. He's seen first-hand the effects of pepper spray and knows its limitations. He can see no reason for deputies to repeatedly pepper spray Nick Christie since he was already in custody. "The purpose is to temporarily incapacitate someone -- temporarily, that's the key word, so you can restrain them," says DePolis. Monshay Gibbs was a deputy trainee at the jail at the time. In a video deposition, she testified that she thought the way Nick Christie was treated was excessive. "He had a spit mask on and was naked," she said on the video while under oath. Gibbs testified that Christie pleaded with guards to take off the spit mask because he couldn't breathe. He later died at the hospital. His heart failed from the shock of the pepper spray. The Lee County Sheriffs Office declined to comment on our story because of Joyce Christie's wrongful death lawsuit, which is scheduled for trial the middle of next year.

Bad decision. Crazy that a 13-year-old girl could buy this suff over the counter without her parents knowledge or consent. Federal judge rules morning-after pill must be available for women of all agesPublished April 05, 2013 FoxNews.com A federal judge ruled Friday that the morning-after pill known as Plan B must be made available over the counter for women of all ages. The decision on the controversial subject comes after lengthy legal battles over who should have access to the pill and at what age. The Justice Department did not say definitively whether it would appeal, but released a statement saying: "The Department of Justice is reviewing the appellate options and expects to act promptly." The Food and Drug Administration had initially decided to allow the emergency pill to be available for young teens. But Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius overruled the FDA in late 2011, and the agency limited availability without a prescription to women 17 and older. The decision Friday by U.S. District Judge Edward Korman ordered the FDA to make the pill, commonly referred to as the abortion pill, available for all ages. The decision means that unless the FDA appeals and is granted a stay, by this time next month a teenager 16 or under could walk into a local pharmacy and buy the pill off the shelf. Korman accused the FDA of "intolerable delays" in reviewing a petition seeking broad access to the drug, likening the process to an "administrative agency filibuster." "The plaintiffs should not be forced to endure, nor should the agency's misconduct be rewarded by, an exercise that permits the FDA to engage in further delays and obstruction," he wrote. The FDA declined to comment on the ruling, describing it as an "ongoing legal matter." Pill manufacturer Teva said it is "currently reviewing" the decision. "We have no additional comment at this time," the company said. The judge ordered the change to be completed in a month. The opinion is sure to rile conservatives and other pro-life groups, who consider the morning-after pill -- in some cases -- to act as an abortion-inducing drug. "This ruling places the health of young girls at risk," said Anna Higgins of the Family Research Council. "There is a real danger that Plan B may be given to young girls, under coercion or without their consent. The involvement of parents and medical professionals act as a safeguard for these young girls. However, today's ruling removes these commonsense protections." The case started in 2005, and Korman initially ruled in 2009 that 17 year-olds should have over-the-counter access. The FDA then moved to allow that access to all ages, until Sebelius stepped in. Korman wrote in his opinion that "the FDA bowed to political pressure emanating from the White House." The Center for Reproductive Rights, which filed suit against the age restriction, and other groups have argued that contraceptives are being held to a different and non-scientific standard than other drugs and that politics has played a role in decision-making. "I think this is a landmark decision in terms of providing women and girls in the United States access to a safe and effective form of birth control," said attorney Andrea Costello with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund. The morning-after pill contains a higher dose of the female progestin hormone that is in regular birth control pills. Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent. But it works best within the first 24 hours. If a woman already is pregnant, the pill has no effect. It prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg. According to the medical definition, pregnancy doesn't begin until a fertilized egg implants itself into the wall of the uterus. Still, some critics say Plan B is the equivalent of an abortion pill because it may also be able to prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus, a contention that scientists -- and Korman, in his ruling -- said has been discredited. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/05/federal-judge-rules-morning-after-abortion-pill-must-be-available-for-women-all/Why do you think thats crazy BB?

LMFAO b/c wiki said yea? so youre saying that in a species what requires 2 opposite sex individuals to procreate that heterosexual is not the default biological sexual orientation?
you see, this is the part of brain washed ignorance that the gay propaganda I was talking about.
Im sure lots of moderates would openly admit that they believe that humans are meant to be heterosexual biologically. Yet you have fundie liberals who just cant seem to bring themselves to do so.
Do you consider yourself normal Tony?
