i’ve been wondering where the gay rights pieces were on blogs that i read.
obama has his hands full now and probably won’t take it on in his capacity as a leader. not good but fortunately things are changing fast at the grass roots level.

No, Cheerios is not a drug. But it is a junk food loaded with sugar.

1. Looks like cheerios has 1 gram of sugar per cup

That’s why I have to add about a cup of sugar to a bowl.

Maybe I’ll start claiming that jogging with me will improve your health so I can be classified as a drug.

2. Disappointed. I didn’t think people actually believed that “change” tripe.

No brainers. And exactly what Obama should do about Gays is just do the right things in the government sphere that noone will argue with. Hospital visits, come on.

And, your list belies the claim that “he’s to busy with other stuff.” They can never be too busy meddling in other people’s affairs to get their own house in order.

Back in the campaign, most of the supporters called his pragmatism a feature. Now they experience the dark side.

A product comes in a package bearing the medical claim, “If you dose yourself with this product, you will reduce your LDLs.” Should the product be regulated as a drug?
