Tall Tot Today, Bully Tomorrow?

Two recent articles suggesting that future criminal behavior can be predicted by the behavior of a three year old, along with suggestions as to why the government should step in to curb that behavior.

Honestly, all three years olds exhibit the behavior describe. It's a natural part of being a toddler. You are just learning the true meaning of "no." You are still working on expressing yourself verbally in a manner that can be understood. You are learning so much so fast that, yes, there will be outbursts and bad behavior. It's normal, not a predictor of future criminal behavior.

Interesting Site and Journal on Uterine Fibroids

http://www.uterinefibroids.com/

this subject is now very much in my radar. i completely feel for this poor woman and the crap she dealt with from several different physicians. i've dealt with their counterparts often in the past (in ob/gyn, psych and ent). the truth is being an informed patient scares most of them but benefits you greatly.

ACORN Awarded DHS Grant for Firefighting

Now, c'mon.  ACORN gets a grant for firefighting in New Orleans?  Does this actually fall under any of their "stated" mission statements.  Wouldn't it have been better for more than one fire department in the state of LA to get a grant rather than throw money at this trash organization?

Are the Polls Actually Showing More Support for Obamacare? It's All in the Questions


 This is a nice piece showing how Gallop has been manipulating data to show more support for a government run health care plan.  Interestingly people are still overwhelmingly opposed to the idea even with manipulated data.

Another Pointless Spending Program

People, please wake up.  $500 is not going to make a difference in the life of your newborn when he or she becomes of age unless you contribute to it monthly.  The increase in taxes in this program will negate any "benefit" you feel when you receive your money.  Not addressed is illegals who have children in the US - will they receive this benefit too?
