Someone please explain Boehner's position today from "This Week with George S".

It didn't appear any progress will be made regarding the Shutdown. I now can't figure out why the debt limit is the front line topic today? I thought ACA-ObamaCare was target.... They have switched up talking points to where I can't figure it out anymore.

Explain our dilemma.

The Simplest Explanation Of Obamacare. Ever.

Well, we have to start somewhere with educating the public regarding the Affordable Health Care Program. This short video clip explains the basics in an unbiased, simplistic fashion....

Announcement: Brett won First Place today at Ohio State Fair, "Beef Wars" Iron Chef!

I posted here last month sharing that Brett was competing at the High School level Iron Chef-Beef Wars/Sirloin at the Ohio State Fair.....today was the competion....

link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/115727767

He won! 1st Place!!!!

Sirloin Steak, 1 pound Bistro Style ...marinated briefly in Dale Sauce rosemary and garlic; seared on LeCreuset grill pan with Brett's own grill seasoning, and finished off in our new portable Breville Convection oven.

Ohio Creamed Corn with bacon lardons, homemade corn stock, creme' fraiche, lime zest and cilantro

Caprese Salad instead of 1st choice Asparagus Salad to meet the additional food group. It was actually the better choice after all.

Caprese Salad with Ohio farm fresh tomatoes, Maldon Sea Salt, fresh ground pepper, handmade mozzarella, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, and lots of grated/zester style Parmigano Reggiano on top like "Snow on the Mountain". Top with another scant drizzle of olive oil and splash of balsamic vinegar.

This win helps with scholarships. Next year, after HS graduation....New England Culinary Institute.

Has anyone posted the DU picture and thread where DU'ers sent Helen Thomas" Thank You Roses"?

I saw the link say 1-2 years ago...I have yet to see it during this grief period for Helen Thomas. The thread made me feel so good!

I'd love to have an old time DU'er share this once again...in Memoriam.

I hope Jamie Foxx makes a movie about Trayvon.

Jamie could present the Big Picture, bring Trayvon into reality...Jamie could present the real story. Hell...Zimmy made one ..

Jamie Foxx has shown great passion during this ordeal. That's why I suggested him.

Did Trayvon's father live at the Gated Community?

Or, were they just visiting a friend for the day? I ask because I am in a discussion wherein I thought that Tracy Martin rented a home in the community. My opponent said the father did not live there.

testimony Tuesday, Wendy Dorival, who worked as the volunteer program coordinator for the Sanford Police Department, said she made a presentation to facilitate a neighborhood watch program in 2011 for residents of Retreat at Twin Lakes, where Zimmeran lived and Trayvon was visiting a friend of his father's on the night he was killed. Dorival said she doesn't discuss whether residents should carry firearms while participating in neighborhood watch program" USA Today, July 25, 2013

Is this true?

MSNBC Poll...Do you agree with the Zimmerman verdict?

Share your opinion here...

What if Zimmy moves out of the country? Would a civil suit be futile?

What if he just does not appear? What if he is in deep hiding? I'm sure he will not play this out willingly.

Let's talk about their next strategy.

Looks like the Z-trial jury deliberated through lunch.

Zimmerman's head being slammed by Trayon into the sidewalk is greatly exaggerated.

Think about what is involved during such a trauma...


For me, I wonder how and the hell could Trayvon get ahold of his head to be able to slam it 20-30 times into the sidewalk? Then, where is the blood and scalp evidence on the sidewalk or at least DNA on Trayvon's hands?

Zimmerman was essentially bald-shaven headed that day.....no hair to hold onto. Zimmerman never mentioned a two-handed head slam or ear grabbing. I can't believe it was a basketball bounce...so...it appears to never of occurred....

Come to think about it....

It's not that feasible for Trayvon to grab for a gun and slam a head into the sidewalk...

****Additionally, for Zimmerman to visually focus on Trayvon's alleged reaching for his gun while his head was being pounded. Most people don't keep their eyes open due to eye defense reflexes...


The glove does not fit...........
