Political Dance Off!
Posted by Michelle Moquin on November 13th, 2008
Oh…forgive me this morning but I was just too tempted to have a little fun with our past running mates. I have a big day today so this little video is strictly for your pleasure. Hopefully you’ll get a hoot out of it – I did. Although it is a bit hokey – their mouths are doing some really weird things but overall ya gotta love technology.
And if that isn’t enough to entertain you, you can always see more at the Mini Movie Channel where I’m sure you can be entertained for hours. My suggestions: ‘Dancing With The Political Stars’ and ‘Hilary’s Humps’. And then my next suggestion: ‘Get a life because you have way too much time on your hands!’.
Zen Lill: I would adopt ‘Ears’ too! He is too adorable. I was at the gas station the other day and I saw this chinese hairless dog in a car window so of course I went up to the family so that I could say ‘hello’ to the little pupster. He was too cute and and felt so soft. I was informed that you have to apply lotion and sunscreen to protect their skin. But between Lucy and myself, hair is everywhere – this would be the remedy.
And, speaking of time…mine’s run out.
Gratefully your blog host,

Mischa, I will check the others when I have more time, this one had me laughing out loud, I still am, oh that was good. McCain: ‘I’d tap that’ ahahaa…there isn’t enough blue pills on the planet for that to happen.
I guess we’re sharing ‘Ears’ then?! I’ll take little Machu Pichu every other weekend : ) and I’ll make sure I slather the baby in sunscreen and lotion.
No pressure anymore, I’m great now : ) but I’d cook for you two anytime no matter what’s going on.
Peace out, Zen Lill

Your Dental Visit Can Save Your Life
Alan Winter, DDS
If you think that regular dental exams are just for your teeth and gums and aren’t very important, you could be putting yourself in danger. Dentists are able to identify signs of a variety of serious diseases that affect other parts of the body.
Recent finding: About 78% of periodontists (dentists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease) have referred patients age 60 or older to be evaluated for diabetes, and 21% have made referrals for osteoporosis, according to a poll conducted by the American Academy of Periodontology. All dentists are trained to identify these diseases and others.
How can an oral exam yield such crucial health information? While you’re sitting in the dentist’s chair to be treated for tooth or gum problems, your dentist is also checking for signs of cancer and other diseases. By monitoring changes in your gum tissue, your dentist can look for oral manifestations of diseases or other serious health problems.
Adults should get dental exams at least twice a year, or three to four times if they have gum (periodontal) disease. During a thorough exam, a dentist inspects all the soft tissues, including the gums, tongue, palate and throat, and feels (palpates) the patient’s neck and under the chin. Signs of possible health problems include ulcerations, thickened tissue, pigmentation changes and abnormal color or consistency of gums and other soft tissues. No one should consider a dental exam an adequate screening of overall physical health. However, your dentist can serve as a valuable adjunct to your other doctors in helping to spot signs of serious medical conditions.
CANCER
Dentists can spot possible malignancies that form in the gums, palate, cheek or other soft tissues. They also can identify tumors in the jawbone, which either originated there or metastasized (spread) from the breasts, bones, lungs or elsewhere in the body.
Warning signs: A newly formed lesion (open sore) or bump anywhere in the mouth that doesn’t go away after seven to 10 days… swelling of the gums… teeth that suddenly become loose… and/or nonspecific oral pain that doesn’t seem to be related to a tooth problem. Less commonly, a cancerous lesion in the jawbone may be seen on an X-ray, but many people who have cancer that has spread to the jaw are already being treated by an oncologist or surgeon. On rare occasions, a dentist may be the first to identify such a metastasis.
Self-defense: If you have a bump or lesion that doesn’t heal in seven to 10 days without treatment, see your dentist. He/she will decide whether you should see a specialist, such as a periodontist, oral surgeon or ear, nose and throat specialist.
Important: Although some bumps and lesions are cancerous, most are benign and due to canker sores, routine gum problems, root canal problems — or they are the result of trauma, such as hitting your gum with the head of your toothbrush. To reach a proper diagnosis, your dentist will do a thorough examination, get a detailed medical history and may even take a biopsy.
DIABETES
Periodontal disease develops over a period of years. If a dentist sees gum breakdown that is more rapid than expected or there has been extreme bone loss that can’t be explained, diabetes should be suspected.
Warning signs: Poor healing after oral surgery, inflammation in the gums and other periodontal problems. These may be signs of diabetes or diabetes that is not well controlled. Such problems can occur because diabetes suppresses the immune system, which impairs the infection-fighting function of white blood cells.
Self-defense: If your dentist suspects diabetes, you should see your primary care doctor or an endocrinologist for a glucose tolerance test.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Most people associate osteoporosis with bone loss in the spine or hips, but it also can occur in the jawbone.
Warning sign: On an X-ray, the jawbone will look less dense than it should.
Self-defense: Follow up with your primary care doctor. A bone-density test may be needed.
Caution: Bisphosphonate drugs, such as alendronate (Fosamax), have been linked to osteonecrosis of the jaw — death of areas of jawbone. Most reports of this side effect are associated with bisphosphonates taken intravenously by cancer patients whose malignancy has spread to their bones, but a handful of cases have involved people who took the oral form of the medication.
A LINK TO HEART DISEASE
Contrary to what many people believe, dentists cannot diagnose heart disease based on the appearance of a person’s gums. Much has been written about a possible link between gum disease and heart disease. However, the research that showed a connection was retrospective — that is, it reviewed the characteristics of a particular group.
One such study was conducted by Robert Genco, PhD, of the State University of New York at Buffalo, and colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The researchers noted that cumulative evidence supports — but does not prove — an association between periodontal infection and cardiovascular disease. In a recent Finnish study, people with gum disease were found to be 1.6 times more likely to suffer a stroke.
Additional research is needed to determine whether gum disease is, in fact, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In the meantime, it makes sense to keep your gums healthy to help minimize the possible risk for heart disease. Studies have shown that people with heart disease are more likely to smoke, not exercise regularly and/or have poor diets.
Dentists often send people with diagnosed heart disease for a cardiovascular evaluation.
Reason: These patients need to get medical clearance for dental surgery. During these evaluations, the cardiologist checks the patient’s blood pressure, use of blood thinners and overall risk for heart attack and stroke. A cardiovascular evaluation also helps determine which anesthetic to use — an additive used in some anesthesia can stimulate the heart.
Bottom Line/Health interviewed Alan Winter, DDS, a periodontist in private practice and associate professor of implant dentistry at the New York University College of Dentistry, both in New York City. He has published more than a dozen medical journal articles on gum disease.

When will the RNC get the picture. The country is more than a bunch of old white guys and dumb white women. My father still thinks that the women in the family will vote as he tells us. He is still walking around the house declaring that the demise of the US is as near as President Obama taking office.
Frankly, all the women in his family but one, his stupid wife, our brain dead mother voted for Obama. Half of us aren’t afraid to say so the others just let the fool believe that he still dominates this family. The rest of the men voted Mcbullshit to a man.
I don’t know if it is racism or just plain stupidity. But I do know that they are pathetic with their ranting about the nigger in the white house foaming at the mouth anger.

F**k you Gloria. The RNC is alive and well. 55% of the white voters cast their ballots for the white man. We just need to convince more of those wanna be white niggers and wet backs to join the team. Pat knows that all we need is to open this country to more white immigrants and keep the mud people from taking control of America.
Less you forget bitch, America was founded and made great by white men. You nigger lovers are so full of shit.

The bush administration is giving the money to their friends and cohorts. The banks are using the money to pay themselves big time. Plus they are buying all the other banks that bush is not giving money to. The crooks are getting rich at the little guy’s expense.
Obama will not have any money left in the 700 billion bail out. Bush is helping his buddies to clean up.

Mark you got it almost right. You forgot to mention that those turncoat jews voted for Obama. They want to be white so bad, yet they voted for the nigger. Now the clueless whites should know why real whites hate jews.
Where are the ovens when we need them? The f**king jews are mud people that can pass for white. They should be the first to go. We know who you are
