Is Narcissism really some physiological deformity or just a societal fungus? We live in a society of "doing me" "miss independent" "I don't need your help" "communal-less" people. I've always wondered myself if Narcissism was just something to get grant money like diagnosing children with ADD....  (photo take from ericstores.com)

A 6 Hour Rant, For the People

"I now call to the Floor the gentleman from Vermont, Senator Sanders."

A 6+ hour filibuster on the Bush tax cuts?? No way? Yes, way.

Incredible? Watch, the video cause I probably will not watch it;  a senator talk for 6 hours though, would help me go to sleep....

I am posting something about this because from the Democrat Independent side of things, you don't usually hear about big time filibusters...and also because we know that many of the Obama supporters may in fact be no more because of this one big promise that looks like is not going to be kept...no blame here though....

We, the middle class, were defended well as Senator Sanders taught a semester of the U.S. economical history in 6 hours....

Funny Friday
