Ringer, I agree with Dave; you post a lot of good comments but seldom a link or even where one might find the article concerning things like this.

It's my understanding that her death was due to drugs; if so then I really don't feel much sympathy for her. It's sad that she felt drugs were more important than sharing her talent.
And obama still refuses to do much about eliminating the influx of drugs into this country. Any drug runners should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law; not sent back to their country but prison for life!

If the damocrats referred to me as a Hobbit, I'd say thank you. After all it was Hobbits that underwent many trials to destroy the One Ring, thus bringing down Sauron who is no different from obama. The 9 Riders of Sauron are the equivalent of pelosi, reid, frank, biden, michelle o., and, "fill in the blanks for at least 3 more"; the Orcs, Uruk- hai, and the other gruesome creatures are all the supporters of obama that kiss up to him.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was a great movie series and one of my all time favorites.
And for those who aren't aware, Tolkien was a Christian.

SEATTLE -- A growing trend among restaurants, food producers and butchers has some consumers scratching their heads and wondering "what's in the beef?"
It's not what you'd expect to be on the menu, but chances are you have eaten meat that's been bonded together with a product called "meat glue."
The product, also known as transglutaminase, is a naturally-occurring protein that has the ability to turn diced meat into fully-formed steaks.
With beef prices on the rise, many chefs are opting to glue their leftover chunks of meat into a meat log that can be sliced up as steak. The glue is actually a powder made up of blood from pigs, cows and chickens.
Chef and Spring Hill Restaurant owner Mark Fuller knows the power of the the powder.
"It's something I found interesting," he said of the glue. "Something I'd like to play around with."
After adding the meat glue to several different cuts of beef, chefs will wrap the mixture and put it in the fridge to rest overnight. During the night, the powdered blood coagulates and fuses the uneven slices of meat into perfectly-formed steaks.
"That would be something that we would maybe in the past have cut off, put it into ground meat or hamburger --- used it in a different way. But this way we can use the whole piece," Fuller said.
Food safety lawyer Bill Marler battles companies that cut corners to get food onto customers' plates.
He said there's a serious gross-out factor when he sees online videos of the tasteless, odorless powder turning stew meat into steak.
"I'm a real firm believer that consumers have a right to know what they are putting in their bodies," he said.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat glue is regarded as safe as long as fused food is cooked to at least 165 degrees.
The problem is that while a steak ordered well done will reach that temperature, anything ordered medium well and below could have bacteria growing at the glue points.
Restaurants aren't required to tell you if they're using meat glue, but some products are labeled as such, according to Jack Field with the Washington Cattleman's Association.
Field said droughts and livestock deaths have driven up beef prices, and estimates say they could go up another five percent this year, which gives cooks even more incentive to use meat glue.
"The consumer has and deserves a right to know where the product he or she is going to enjoy comes from," he said.
After experimenting with the product, Fuller said he will not longer use the meat glue.
"It's a natural product, but it just doesn't feel natural to me," he said.
Chefs like Fuller are doing away with the meat glue, but the powder is becoming especially popular in the creative-food community.
without a casing. Some are even using the glue to make pasta out of shrimp.

This morning of Fox News polygamous folks are saying they should have the same rights as gays do when it comes to marriage and are suing for such rights.
It's becoming a sick sick world we're living in today.

I fully agree with you Florida; does make me wonder who serf and his buddies will vote for if Ron Paul does step down? Obviously then, their only choice would be obama and I think that's who they want anyway.

I am no respecter of the mormon religion and have heard them referred to as a cult, which I'm inclined to agree, much like muslims.

I'll never say anything positive about any muslim other than the children are innocent pawns.
Their beliefs are archaic, irrational, inappropriate, immoral, unethical and illegal by Biblical and American standards.

A little of what I learned about Ron Paul:

Ron Paul pros -
Lower spending and smaller government
Eliminating any government control over state laws
Cut off foreign aid
Does not support illegal immigrants, their children born in the U.S. or amnesty for illegals.

Cons -
Supports gay marriage and okays gays serving openly in the military. As a Christian I am opposed to homosexuality.
That Federal lands should be sold to private developers. I can only imagine what developers would do to land that should be open to the public.
Supports medicinal use of marijuana. This only further opens the door to anyone and everyone being able to purchase hemp even with the excuse, "I'm stressed".

I retrieved the above info from Wikipedia and certainly learned a lot about him, but I still have a lot of concern about him in a debate against obama. I've heard nothing from him in the debates regarding what he feels obama is doing wrong and therefore consider him, as I would say, a soft candidate.
I haven't heard him trying to throw any of the other Rep. candidates under the bus such as Newt and Mitt are doing and commend him for that.

Thanks for the link.
Still don't feel comfortable in voting for him.
