Chiropractor Visitis...for... Children]]> http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38942 She is a great person.
And a great mom to a happy, healthy 4-year old.
But she can be a little out there.


She took her daughter to the chiropractor for a SPINAL ADJUSTMENT.
I asked her if everything was okay and she said "Oh yes, it's fine. Her back was "out" in a few places but he fixed it and he wants to see her back in a week".


All I can think is that my friend is getting scammed like crazy.
A healthy 4-year old that plays outside and does sports and her spine is maladjusted and needs correction?

And he wants to see her back in a week so he can take more of their money?

Snake Oil or something kids need?]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:27:14 GMT http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38942 <![CDATA[The Youtube Doubler Thread]]> http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38935

For those into politics, Food Stamps and Blacks getting handouts has apparently become a part of the talking points during the primary season, and it's Barack Obama's fault. The Race Card is being bandied about and people are upset. Enter the Huffington Post

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/08/republican-debate-newt-gingrich-food-stamps_n_1192875.html?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl4|sec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D125781

Newt gets called to the carpet on his statements, and I was particularly amazed at how he manages to claim he didn't say what the person questioning them says he did, and restates it in response, worded differently. Is he that delusional that he didn't realize he was still making the exact same inference and argument that offended the man? Or did he think the guy & audience were too dull whited to know the difference. So here's some basic argumentation via syllogism:

The Premise:
huffpost wrote:
Gingrich was pressed on the topic by Yvan Lamothe, an African-American New Hampshire resident.

"My point is, about a week ago -- some time ago -- you mentioned that black people should be able to earn a paycheck, not be on welfare, implying that black people in general are on welfare," said Lamothe. "And I really took exception to that because it demeans my accomplishments, my hard work, because I have worked all my life. I have never been on welfare. You know about history. You know that back in the 1930s, Hitler started talking in Germany about a Jewish problem. My question to you is, do you think that blacks represent an American problem, and if you don't think that, will you stop using blacks in general as a stepping stone or a punching bag?"


Newt's Argument?

the $#!+ Newt Gingrich said wrote:
"I didn't say what you just said," he said. "Let me be very clear, because this is something that makes me, quite frankly, very irritated. ... What I said was, there's a real problem in America because you have a president who's put more people on food stamps -- people, I didn't say any ethnic group, people -- than any other president in history. ... And I said I would be willing to go to the NAACP annual convention -- which most Republicans are not willing to do -- and I'd be willing to talk about the importance of food stamps versus paychecks."


I bold-ed the couched argument:

If the problem in America is a President who's put more people on food stamps... (I didn't say an ethnic group, I said people)

Then the solution is to go to a convention for an organization the historically has served "Colored" people ( cause really, who's actually the color black??? ) and talk to them specifically about the importance of food stamps vs paychecks.*

Willard Romney has nothing to fear from this man, accept being too close to the blast zone when he bursts from all the Hot Air and Garbage he's full of.

Thoughts?


*Notice that he implies he's better than other Republicans, who dismiss the NAACP, which, as he asserts, represents "Colored People" otherwise why waste his time going there. So he's implying that other Republicans don't even want to give "Colored People" the time of day, AND he's doing us a favor coming to chastise all us "Colored People" because we don't know the difference between a Paycheck and Food Stamps... And people question why there is a racial correlation with party identification Confused]]> Mon, 09 Jan 2012 09:54:47 GMT http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38910 <![CDATA[Beyonce's baby is here!]]> http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38908
And almost all I've done for the past hour is read conspiracy theories about how she was never really pregnant, has a secret surrogate, etc.

Quote:
BABY-ONCÉ finally has a name — Blue Ivy Carter.

Music royalty Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed the baby girl in a private wing of Lenox Hill Hospital, the E! network reported Sunday. The baby's name was originally reported by E! as Ivy Blue.

A very pregnant Beyoncé had checked into the upper East Side hospital on Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” a hospital staffer told the Daily News.

Beyoncé and her hip-hop hubby, whose real name is Shawn Carter, rented out the hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million, the employee said.

On Saturday night, people were seen bringing bags of takeout and a dozen bottles of red wine onto the heavily guarded hospital wing.

After 11 p.m., even doctors and nurses were barred from entering the fourth floor, prompting one doc to complain that he had patients to see.

In an effort to keep images from leaking to the public, hospital workers placed tape over security cameras and are forcing employees to turn in cell phones when they arrive for their shifts, a source said.

Several security guards were spotted patrolling the perimeter of the hospital Saturday night.

A Lenox Hill staffer confirmed that a patient named Ingrid Jackson was in a “labor room.”

Reps for the power couple did not return requests for comment.

The 30-year-old singer was last seen Thursday when she was photographed leaving a Manhattan apartment building wearing hip-hugging jeans, gold heels and a patterned scarf masking her belly.

I must say, there is taking privacy precautions, and then there is renting out a floor at a hospital, taping over security cameras, and confiscating cell phones. That alone does sound a bit fishy to me. Add the prosthetic belly incident in...

Eh, oh well. Congrats to them, I suppose! I just hope the rumors aren't true because that would blow up in their faces bigtime if it ever got out, I'm sure.]]> Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:44:20 GMT http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38908 <![CDATA[Giant @ Dallas Theater Center]]> http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38905

Today, for example, a friend and his wife are taking their 5-month old to the zoo. He says "We don't really want to go, but it's good for her to experience these things".

Shocked

Am I wrong for thinking they should just go to the park across the street with the baby? She isn't going to remember the zoo or benefit from it in any way.
Why not save the time/money/hassle and get fresh air elsewhere?]]> Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:03:52 GMT http://www.eisley.com/laughingcity/viewtopic.php?t=38898
