  • Is Dr. Charles Krauthammer paralyzed? Why?

    This was just a casual comment about him in an email that has been posted. I hadn't heard this before and wondered about it. He is such a worthy writer.

  • Do you know the name of this medicine?

    I'm trying to find the name of a medicine that was used several years ago--and may still be used. It was pronounced something like "Benazine, Benzanine," etc. It was sometimes painted on a person before surgery to sterilize an area of skin before surgery. It's color was brown or golden brown. It formed a tough coat that was hard to wash off. I've seen it work wonders when it was painted on an old person who was beginning to develop bed sores.

  • How long should former Presidents receive secret service protection after leaving office?

    I can understand why the President and his family want to have protection while they are in office--but a lifetime of protection? I don't think it's necessary. They might be covered for 3 or 4 years but after that I doubt that they are in any more danger than any other American.

    What are the expenses of having at least 3 or 4 life time protectors? We have several living exPresidents so we must multiply the expense several times. Oh never mind--the taxpayers will just continue to pay!

  • Have you seen former President Bill Clinton have one of his "Hissy fits?"?

    When Bill doesn't get the respect he expects, he loses it! He yells at people, turns beet red, and points that finger. He does the same thing when things don't go his way. He wants to be King and gets furious when others don't share his dreams. Would you call this immaturity--or what?

  • Was the Republican Party totally responsible for the early voting in Michigan and Florida?

    As we all know there is much disagreement on what to do about these two states and whether or not their votes should count for nomination of the Presidential candidate. Both Democratic candidates agreed not to campaign in these states because of the action that had been taken and signed the agreement. One tried to obey the rules while the other disregarded them, and now the states want to be counted as they are. Revoting would have made this fair to all concerned.

    Did the Republican Party force the early voting date on the Democratic Party? If you think they did, please state how they did it, why they did it, etc. Was this earl.y date movement led by the Democratic Party and allowed by the opposing party? Did the Democratic Party expect to ignore the DNC's directives and still be seated? Are rules made to be broken?

  • How do I make contact when Yahoo sends a message that my settings are wrong--but they're correct.?

    Yahoo sends a message after I send and receive messages. The message says that my connections are incorrect and that I'm working with insecure settings. They say I will not be able to communicate through an Email client unless I secure the site.

    They then give instructions and tell how to check the settings and how to enable ssl.

    I have followed the directions, everything is correct--yet I continue receiving this message from Yahoo.

    I want to send an Email to Yahoo but the customer help site doesn't meet my needs in this matter.

    Any suggestions?

  • May 31 the DNC will meet to make a decision on the FL and MI votes. What do you expect the decision to be?

    Both states knew their votes wouldn't count if they had their early primaries. Now the states and Hillary are demanding that the votes be counted.

    The candidates knew that the votes were not to count. Obama and others even withdrew their names from the ballot in Michigan. Hillary was the only candidate on the ballot. Naturally she collected the votes.

    How can anyone justify awarding these votes to her?

  • What were the lights seen over Arizona last Monday night?

    Monday night several peoplei n Arizona witnessed four red lights in the sky. The lights were brighter than stars. They were seen changing formations from a cross to a triangle. The lights were moving at the same speed and after 7 or 8 minutes they disappeared one by one. The last one moved upward and away slower than the first three which made a speedy departure. They were not part of air force manuvers. They were video taped so their is proof of their existance.

    In your opinion, what were these lights? Tell why you have this opinion.

  • What is your opinion of the state of Texas officials taking the children in San Angelo away from their homes ?

    Do government officials of any level have the right to take children away from their homes and their mothers and move them to various locations around the state into group homes, without investigations and hearings?

    This is what has happened in San Angelo. Is there a right to do this because you disagree with their chosen way of life?

    The polygamous sect included 437 children which welfare officials decided to remove from their homes. This reminds me of the time Janet Reno decided to "save" the children and sent people in with tanks, knocking down walls--and not a child was left.

    Can you even imagine how horrible this is for the mothers? Consider the children, some of whom are babies and toddlers.

    Something is entirely wrong.

  • Should nominating votes in Florida and Michigan be accepted based on the primary voting or should they revote?

    The DNC plans to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan without a new vote.Obama didn't campaign in Florida and was relatively unknown while people were very familiar with the name Hillary Clinton.

    In Michigan, Obama's name (and names of other candidates) were not even on the ballot. Therefore, Hillary won big. I think people in the DNC plan to count the votes in order to give Hillary a lead or to maybe give her the nomination. People in both Michigan and Florida chose not to be seated when they moved the primary date. They knew the rules and consequences, yet chose not to abide by them.

    They people now want to be heard. They say it is unfair to deny them the vote to select and nominate the person who will run for President.

    I personally think it is unfair to stack the deck for Hillary, which is what will happen if approval for acceptance of votes is given.

    THERE SHOULD BE A REVOTE. The Democrats in each state should find a way to raise funds for this purpose.

  • What did Hillary say about the White House American Flag when Bill was President?

    I'm under the impression that she didn't see the importance of it or that she just didn't want it over the White House. Can you enlighten me?

  • Did Bill Clinton get mad at people listening as he campaigned for Hillary?

    I was told that Bill was giving a speech for Hillary when someone in the audience called out the name "Obama." Bill accused the person of being sent by Obama. The person just smiled and "mouthed" Obama. Bill wanted him to leave. He didn't. Bill had no grounds to have him removed from the scene.

    Various people in the audience began laughing since he was becoming so upset. The laughter made him even more angry. He then got made because those in the audience didn't show him or the Office of the Presidency proper respect.

    Did anyone see this? Is it true? Would you have laughed if you'd seen him red faced and blubbering angry words?

  • Can the candidates not see that most Americans want a united country?

    Our country is greatly divided largely due to the leaders of our political parties. Much of the division of Demos vs Repubs grew under the leadership of Bill Clinton. Hillary says she wants to be president of all states and territories, yet she blasts the Republicans at every opportunity. She said Obama apparently supported a Republican when he spoke of Ronald Reagan and the good he did for the USA. She seems to think that only Democrats have and will do things beneficial for all of us.

    This kind of politics is poor and reminds me of elementary school children who are running for class office and who try to get their classmates "mad" at the opponent. We do not need and do not want this type of pettiness in American politics! Why can't we all stand for America and stand up for America?

    We are one nation under God. indivisible. Many of us will vote for someone who shows the promise of tomorrow without portraying "the other" political party as uncaring and incompentent.

  • What do you know about Ann Catherine Buzhardt, SC, 1750s-1770s?

    I'm trying to find information on Ann Catherine Buzhardt/Bussart. John Buzhardt had a daughter by this name but I believe I'm searching for Catherine who was born in the mid 1700s. I'm looking for ancestors of John Buzhardt. If I can learn about them I believe some of the information will fall into place.

  • Has Nancy Peloski spoken of redistributing the wealth in America?

    She gives no credit to the good economy, job creation, the fact that, in spite of Iraq and the money being spent, America is doing well. She downplays everything good the present administration has done and is doing. She speaks of taxing the wealthy 100% and of controlling the stock market. Has she spoken in this manner?
