liberal N proud's JournalSo women over 50 can't get pregnant?
This is a good one.
My wife went to the pharmacy to fill her prescription for birth control, it has been free for the last year thanks to Obamacare.
They charged her $28 bucks for her refill this month. When she questioned it, they told her that it wasn't covered for women over 50.
NOT COVERED? 
According to Healtcare.gov:
8.Contraception: Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling, as prescribed by a health care provider for women with reproductive capacity (not including abortifacient drugs). This does not apply to health plans sponsored by certain exempt “religious employers.”

women with reproductive capacity is not defined as under 50!

January 16, 1991
That is the date we attacked Iraq the first time.
They want to blame the violence in Iraq on Obama when it was the two bu$h's who destroyed that nation.
I was cleaning out some of my files when I ran across a calendar page that I had tore out and wrote the following:
"United States Declared war on Saddam Hussein, Leader of Iraq. War began at 5:45 PM C.S.T. President was George Bush"
At that time we didn't use the H W because Jr. was still at the party.
Someone needs to remind the fucking media who started this shit in Iraq and how long it kept going. And stop this "they died in vein" shit.
Bill Maher has new rule for Duck Dynasty-following Americans
Maher left his best statement for the last new rule: using the Duck Dynasty fiasco as his analogy for what Republicans have done to this country with smoke and mirrors, he had some advice.
“And finally, a resolution I have been asking America to make for a long time,” he said. “Be more cynical. Be less easily fooled. Case in point, all the people that are fans of these guys, heroes to all the rural heartland traditional values gun nuts out there. Except here is what we recently found out these guys really look like before they got their TV show, preppy assholes at the golf club wearing Tommy Bahama. That’s right. It is all an act, fat cats pretending to be just folks. And you fell for it. Take a hint, Tea Partiers. This is what the Republican Party is always doing to you.”

Talk about closing the barn door after the horse got out - West Virgina to regulate chemicals?
So they destroyed the environment and now they want to protect it? 
Legislation Proposed In WV To Regulate Chemicals
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin on Monday proposed tighter regulations for chemical storage facilities after a spill contaminated the water supply for 300,000 people.
Tomblin, the Democratic governor, urged passage of a chemical storage regulatory program. The bill aims to address shortcomings that allowed 7,500 gallons of coal-cleaning chemicals to seep into the Elk River on Jan. 9. Freedom Industries, which owned the plant that leaked the chemicals, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Friday.
Freedom Industries' safety flaws, including a last-resort containment wall filled with cracks, went largely undetected, because as a facility that neither manufactured chemicals, produced emissions, or stored chemicals underground, it was not subject to environmental regulations, state Department of Environmental Protection officials have said. The chemical that spilled also wasn't deemed hazardous enough for additional regulation.
The material flowed 1.5 miles downstream and made it into West Virginia American Water Company's water supply.
Below-ground tanks storing chemicals face environmental regulations, but ones above the surface fall into a regulatory loophole, officials have said. The department made several routine visits to the Charleston site between 2002 and 2012, but found no violations.

The U.S. Postal Service is moving into Staples stores in another effort aimed at boosting business through partnerships with retail giants.
The new centers will be operated by outside employees, offering most postal products including stamps, mail services and package delivery.
USPS will be the exclusive mailing and shipping option at those Staples locations.
Earlier this month, the agency announced it would deliver packages on Sundays for Amazon, one of the world’s largest online retailers.
The agreement with Staples is part of the USPS’s “retail partner expansion program.” The first openings will take place in just five regions: San Francisco, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, San Diego and Worchester, Mass., where the company is headquartered, according to Going Postal.

Dangerous giant smog cloud chokes Beijing
I know, it's China again, but with the deniers of climate change, is the whole world headed for this type of atmosphere?
Commuters across Beijing found themselves cloaked in a thick, gray haze as air pollution monitors across the city registered readings over 20 times the recommended exposure levels suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau readings Thursday for PM 2.5 – air particulate smaller than 2.5 microns blamed for a range of severe respiratory ailments – registered over 500 micrograms per cubic meter. The WHO recommends no more than 25 micrograms per cubic meter.

I flew into Beijing once, when you couldn't see the terminal until the plane pulled up to the gate. The hotel where I was staying, you couldn't see the buildings across the street. The air was a weird color of green and it burned your eyes to be outside for very long.
Ari Fleischer: How to Fight Income Inequality: Get Married
These opinions are solely Ari Fleischer's and not those of the above DU member.In an attack on The President, the Mayor of New York and a Massachusetts Senator and on women.
And the number of children raised in female-headed families is growing throughout America. A 2012 study by the Heritage Foundation found that 28.6% of children born to a white mother were out of wedlock. For Hispanics, the figure was 52.5% and for African-Americans 72.3%. In 1964, when the war on poverty began, almost everyone was born in a family with two married parents: only 7% were not.
Good luck with that. The tax code is already extremely progressive, as a December study by the Congressional Budget Office makes clear, yet poverty remains a significant problem. According to CBO, the top 40% of wage earners, those who make more than $51,100 a year, paid 86.4% of all federal taxes in 2010, the most recent data available. The bottom 40% of earners paid just 4.2% of all taxes. The top 40% paid virtually all of the income tax collected, while the bottom 40% paid a negative 9.1% of all income taxes. Paying "negative" taxes is possible because of the earned-income tax credit and other public-assistance measures that give the bottom 40% refunds for taxes they didn't pay.
Given how deep the problem of poverty is, taking even more money from one citizen and handing it to another will only diminish one while doing very little to help the other. A better and more compassionate policy to fight income inequality would be helping the poor realize that the most important decision they can make is to stay in school, get married and have children—in that order.

I would bet that the only degree women should be working for in school is their MRS degree.
One persons solution to climate change...
Turn off all the outdoor lighting
On the comments section of a New York Times article about rising sea levels:
West of the Hudson 5 hours ago
I have several questions concerning global warming and how it is being studied and measured:
1. When temperatures are being recorded and documented, are they taken every hour ?
2. If the answer to the above question is yes, how long or how many years has this practiced been put into place?
3. If the answer to the first question is true, has there been a significant change in temperatures at night from the early 1900's?
4. If the answer to the above question is yes, than can it be assumed that one factor in the increase of night temperatures rising are due to the increase in the number of exterior lighting staying lit from dusk until dawn?
I ask these questions for practical reasons since if you fly across the US at night when it is not cloudy, the earth from that point of view almost looks like smokeless fires burning on the ground, so the heat being dissipated from all these lights must have some impact on ambient air temperatures.
5. If the above is then true, if by reducing how long and why a majority of the portion of these lights are on , shouldn't there be a decrease in ambient air temperatures.
Just a thought...
