Biden misspeaks again: Gabby
Giffords was ´mortally wounded´

Washington Times, by Sean Lengell

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 3/22/2013 9:47:56 AM

Vice President Joseph R. Biden added to his long list of verbal flubs Thursday when he said former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had been “shot and mortally wounded.” The Arizona Democrat was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head during an assignation attempt on her life in early 2011. She resigned from the House last year in order to focus on her recovery. The phrase “mortally wounded” typically is applied to a person who has received an injury that causes or leads to death.

Comments:
That makes you feel really confident that he is a hearbeat away from the presidency. s/o There is nothing endearing about this fool as the leftists like to tell us. The media ridiculed George Bush for occasionally misspeaking. They have enough material to last a lifetime from this idiot. Good. Grief.

It´s mildly amusing that the Vice President´s I.Q. can be measured with the same decimal point placement as most ammunition...

He´s about a .22 upstairs. In a sane world, he´d have been committed for evaluation, as opposed to being that ´heartbeat away from the presidency´.

Biden demonstrates the level of social stupidity unfortunately demonstrated daily in our ´brave new world´.

Sorta´ like Charlie Rangel demonstrates the politician´s grasp of mathematics...

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
