GOP Uses Picture Of Obama Consoling A Newtown Victim To Gloat About Obama’s ‘Defeats’
GOP Uses Picture Of Obama Consoling A Newtown Victim To Gloat About Obama’s ‘Defeats’: pEarlier today, the Republican National Committee released a one minute video gloating that President Obama has experienced a “string of defeats” during the first 100 days of his second term. Of course, the reason for these “defeats” is that the GOP retains the power to unilaterally block progress in the Senate through filibusters, and they [...]/p

Toney Atkins comments: When will people wake up and realize that nothing is getting done for the citizens of the United States because the lying and basically uncaring Republican Party has vowed to vote against anything that might make President Obama look good? Republican lawmakers continue their unpatriotic campaign to destroy this country, and it appears to be working. I believe in love, but it is hard to love Republicans. Maybe that is why I am alone here in the South.

6 Serious Medical Symptoms

Toney Atkins comments: Be healthier than I! Call me a hypochondriac if you will (or if you can pronounce it), but I wish that I had kept up with medical information when I was younger. Admittedly, I am a bit depressed that I have hit the landmark landing me in my so-called "golden years," and I realize, facing fact not paranoia, that my days or years (I hope) are indeed numbered. I consider myself to be blessed by God that my health problems are probably much more minimal than they should be. I urge all readers to keep up with health news and information from reliable sources, and you may live many more years than you otherwise would.

Funny test answer fails
Funny test answer fails
Toney Atkins comments: This post from MSNNow.com brings back wonderful memories of my days as a fifth-through-seventh grade teaching days, and I wish I could have saved some of the great moments from those years. I think back on those five years as being among the best of my life. I had some terrific students, and I really had no pets. There was great value in all of the kids, whether they were A or F in grade performance. If I could go back, I do not believe I would have given an F to any of them, because not one was a failure as a person. If any of my former students read this, I apologize for not being a better teacher. During that time, I practiced what I taught, and I pray that some of the good parts stuck with you.

Toney Atkins comments: My sperm keep waking me up, singing, "Our lights are on but nobody's home." "Use 'em or lose 'em," I heard one screech the other night. I try to convince them that lack of sleep may hurt the little buggers. Then I hear, from the innermost reaches of my scrotum, "Do it, do it, do it till you're satsified." I appreciate my sperms' efforts to tune up my beats underneath the sheets, to cajole my ego into going "Down to Love Town" for some "Action" and to not stop until I get enough. But, with my age entering the bracket of "golden years" and my mind still somewhere between 18 and 60, the fire is going out in the furnace. My sperm buddies keep multiplying and are always enthusiastic to get out into the world, even when I'm sleeping. I have been asexual (look it up) for years, and they get very unhappy with me. But I need the sleep that I didn't get in my younger party days, and I'm determined to get it as many good sleeps as I can, because the sperm can excercise more, swim around, eat the right foods (whatever they eat). Because when I wake up, all rested and raring to go, those suckers will be jazzed up because they're finally getting out of the house. I've promised a volcanic explosion to send them out of the house as expert swimmers,ready to party and do their thing. And do that thing well, I believe with all my heart that my deep sleeps have given them the energy to do what they do best when they leave training camp. Make a mark, they will, and there will be satisaction, I guarantee it. Lack of sleep may harm sperm? You shouldn't do that, fellows. Read the story at the link to find out how to get the best from your guys when party time rolls around again. Rest easy, and sleep.
