The American Presidential Election is really one of the most expected events in US, provoking so much of discussions and everythign that it entails. I have not gotten quite familiar yet with the persona opposing the President, the former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, but am hearing that he gains his auditory, due to the increasing indignation to Obama, but let me repeat ur final words and say, let the slog begin!

Re: In Review: Heatwave for the Ages Replaces Winter with Summer in North America

Really valuable reading! Since a warm spring is not necessarily an indication of a hot summer,
and since the odds of having two 43 – 4,779 year heat wave events in one
year in the same place have to be quite, quite low.

A kind of shocking story. Luckily, with the blessing of the Supreme Court the right to your
personal privacy ends the second – whether or not you are guilty of
anything – a police officer takes you into custody.

Re: Peter Hoekstra, Candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Goes Full-on Racist in Super Bowl Ad

the funny thing is the Chinese in the ad is both nonsense and in traditional Chinese, not simplified of the mainland. Would it really have been so hard to google translate something that made sense?

With apologies for the driveby link, I've just posted a White House petition to ask the United States government to get involved in monitoring the factories like Foxconn that make our goods. I'd love your support. The petition is at http://wh.gov/KSf

Thanks,

I have so many friends posting all over FB about how he was such a great man, but seriously, I don't care how many games you've won, if you enable a child molester/rapist, you don't deserve to be revered after death. If it had happened to my son and he hadn't reported it...well, let's just say I'd be behind bars by now for very bad things.

I'm not sure, maybe they were going for a certain kind of vibe, what with the bustling city all around them and all. There were more wedding people taking pictures in Central Park - at least that setting was a bit calmer.

composition wise i'm drawn to the lake one because i think that's how i tend to frame my own photos, but i think the couple in the corner and the wedding one are the two that stick out to me for being interest. mostly i just want to know more about the wedding people, like why the balls would they choose that setting to get wedding photos done?

Re: The Ignorance of the “Just Get A Job” Sentiment

No conservative has been able to tell me what specifically has changed in the last year to shift the blame on lack of jobs from the system and it's failures onto the victims themselves. They ran on it, did nothing about it, and are upset that people are still mad about it and now feel the need to protest because their politicians didn't do the job they elected them for! Did you forget what you ran on, GOP????
