Insulin dependant

I've been insulin dependant for over 20 years and now I'm 44. Insulin usage can turn into a vicious circle without proper diet and exercise, a lot of which I am guilty of not being "religious" about. You can gain weight as a result of titrating your insulin to an over zealous diet which can lead to weight gain. I pity the unfortunate fools who would allow their blood glucose the "opportunity" to run amok for the most ridiculous sake of vanity! I know several type 2 individuals that are so out of touch with their disease that they too are in the same weight loss crap shoot and don't even realize it. This disease only favors the devoted who keep their blood sugar in the 80-120 range as much as humanly possible and the people who risk the consequences of not being as close to that range as they can will reap far more “reward” than starving their systems of fat cells. It used to appear to me that only older individuals were unable to get their act together with proper diabetes management as they’re not used to testing and injecting on a regular basis, but now it appears that in the name of vanity, anybody can be as reckless. What a shame; the complications of diabetes are always the real killers in the end.

Estupido Pendejo

Is it just me or is everyone over this primary farce? It would appear that the apostles of these two candidates are the ones who are stirring up the dirt; so let them, this is a non-story! Who's intimidated when they have already made up their mind over who they are voting for? Oh and race? Chica, please!

Original article: Multiracial man

Shame

Here we have the first 1/2 black presidential candidate ever and the focus is on that instead of his obvious difference from the Clinton-Republican/status quo. No wonder America is so awry with fickle faith and fantasy! I'm so tired of the message being lost because of a half-oddity(?) being spun by every last outlet on earth.. I sense a willing strand of hope in this guy and every one I know wants to bet some stupid notion of "he can't" to counter that message of hope. This is as good a chance as America has been offered and yet America lays dormant in some politically induced coma that has diminished and eroded so many other great nations and ideals.

Cuntella

Boo, hate to say it but I'm not buying a spot-bot for the first "gentleman" when he slimes his way into the White House again. Hillary should kill herself perhaps? Or maybe Bill? Okay, Bill! I am so sick of the Clintons...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Chica please,

What will Hillary do for you? Honestly, what will she do for you? I want to know after she is president and after you quantify what she's done for you and your honest and hard working people.. I'd have to bet the house, not a god damn thing will be done for you, not a god damn thing. Dream a little dream for me, Chica. Those are still free!

Texas chica please!

Texas stands for big, old-time American Bravado! It's all super appreciated and highly revered, I assure you! Alprazolam is the compound name for Xanax and I suggest 5 mg./daily! See your Texas doctor soon!

By the way...

"God" is a myth and a fantasy so take that to task in your tiny, little anonymous mind and "god speed" (ha ha ha ha ha!). Stick your bible where all fairy tales belong. And of course whatever the creator of the universes speed which I might attempt to barely and feebly comprehends speed! I’m sure “he” is waiting just for you! And he deserves you, or the other way around!

Must support.. Must Support!

Hi all, I'm your local Hill-bot here. Remember, don't be a cultist and support Obama, you must support Hillary! You must support Hillary! You must support Hillary! Especially if you have similar genitalia! You Must Support Senator Clinton if you have a puner, you MUST! Barack Hussein Obama's name sounds like a terrorist (who obviously doesn't have a puner!)! Remember September 11th and vote for a puner!

Original article: The Shuster fallout

All is fair in politics

Shuster is being hung out to dry for a comment that was blown so out of proportion that it’s comical. Misogyny my ass! Chelsea and Hillary are fair game folks, their lives are public like Britney’s and Brad Pitt’s and David Shuster’s. I personally despise Hillary Clinton but not because she is a woman. But that’s the label I get for not liking her or wanting the same screwed up family steering the country again; “misogynist“. And if I wasn’t voting for Barack Obama I’d be a “racist” and if I don’t like the occupation of Iraq then I “don’t support our troops” and the bullshit never ends. The guy apologized twice, it isn’t like he killed a puppy on the air! I’ve never seen such a stir over so little, it must be because Chelsea and Hillary Clinton are “women”.
