Is Newt going to be our superhero?

The thing I found most interesting about this kid asking the GOP candidates what superhero they would want to be is that only two of the candidates (Cain and Gingrich) had enough courtesy to ask him what superhero he’d want to be.

Found at: Althouse: New Hampshire kid asks (nearly) all the GOP candidates what superhero they'd like to be.

You just know if Newt Gingrich gets the nomination…

…all the media outlets pushing the idea that he’s too liberal for the GOP, sildenafil malady will instantly switch to portraying him as too conservative for the country.

USAToday asks:

Can Obama win re-election with 9.1% jobless?.

Nihilism Watch – Instance #2

I’m seeing this more and more. Orchestrated? Or just echoed?

In Congress the anger is pandered to by Republicans who should know better, buy viagra purchase since their nihilism discredits not only the president they have cynically set out to make a failure, but their own institution.

Read the last line…

…in this news story about a concert in Madison:

I’m going to say something here that will no doubt get me hot water: I am disappointed that, viagra canada there at this point in the concert, cialis sale sildenafil DeMain chose to insert a rousing rendition of the national anthem.

Where the Adams composition creates a space for personal reflection and tenderly holds the names of people who perished, the anthem demands a particular feeling. Surely the sense of nation was implied in the Adams piece and need not have been followed by sounds so linked to politics.

That’s right. Playing the National Anthem is now considered to be politically divisive in Madison, Wisconsin.

This story almost makes me think Rick Perry…

…suckered his opponents into attacking him about the HPV Vaccine:

Until you’ve seen a special photograph, best viagra recipe Craig Wilson says you don’t know the whole story of Rick Perry’s HPV vaccine decision.

“She’s happy as hell. I mean, viagra sale pharm she is just unbelievably ecstatic,” Wilson said. “Here she is on a beautiful ranch somewhere, riding on a motorcycle, which she’s never really done, with the governor of the state of Texas.”

The guy driving the motorcycle is Governor Rick Perry. The young woman on the back is Houstonian Heather Burcham, who was at that moment just 31 years old and a few months away from dying of cervical cancer.

Heather said in an interview prior to her death, “I feel like I’m not going in vain, because I can tell others about it.”

When Heather was diagnosed, she set out to tell the world about her illness and the vaccine that would’ve prevented it. Her fear was that her pain and her death would mean nothing.

She said, “I kept thinking, ‘What good can come from this?'”

After Governor Perry got in Texas trouble for signing an executive order in 2007 mandating the HPV vaccine, Heather tried to convince lawmakers to let it stand, and in the process met Governor Perry. But more than a meeting, it sparked a friendship.

Long after the order was rescinded and Perry lost the political fight, they kept talking. Heather had Perry’s personal cell phone number and he invited her for a day at a friend’s ranch.

Wilson, a friend of Heather’s, recalled, “It was a great day, one of the great days of her life. She loved the whole thing.”

Months later, when the end was near for Heather, Perry quietly snuck into Houston and sat by her bedside. No press, no statement — just the governor and one of his 21 million constituents.
