Excerpt:
But the stigma of being a Democrat in Utah is so strong that the state Democratic chairman, Jim Dabakis, said he recently had this telling encounter: He was in rural Iron County meeting with a small group of Democrats, when a man came up to him after the meeting and mentioned that he was gay. Mr. Dabakis, who is gay himself, said, "That must be tough down here."

The man said that it was, but not for the obvious reason. "I don't tell anyone I'm gay," the man told Mr. Dabakis, "because if I do, they'll know I'm a Democrat."

excerpt:
The White House issued a release today which states that “the declaration builds on resources already deployed by FEMA and makes Federal funding available for certain emergency activities undertaken by the state to prepare for and respond to the storm.” However, the limited declaration does not provide for reimbursement of expenses that the state is taking to prepare for the storm.

excerpt:

As of this morning, I have activated 4,126 Louisiana National Guardsmen, an emergency contract for over 300 commercial buses, and over 5,000 shelter spaces to respond to the wide ranging projected path of this storm, move our citizens out of harm's way and provide them with shelter. The school districts in the path of the storm have cancelled school until this dangerous storm passes.

Assault Rape Pregnancies Are Rare

Assault Rape Pregnancies Are Rare

excerpt:
Finally, factor in what is certainly one of the most important reasons why a rape victim rarely gets pregnant, and that's psychic trauma. Every woman is aware that stress and emotional factors can alter her menstrual cycle. To get and stay pregnant a woman's body must produce a very sophisticated mix of hormones. Hormone production is controlled by a part of the brain that is easily influenced by emotions. There's no greater emotional trauma that can be experienced by a woman than an assault rape. This can radically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.

During Romneys acceptance speech Thur night

President O will call a news conference at that time to trump Romneys speech. The purpose of the news conference will be to explain what his administration will be doing to assist in the storm damage.

If not the white house will be releasing press releases thruout the days after Isaac hits landfall on what they will be doing on a continuous basis.
