Coconut Oil Helps Alzheimer Disease?

One physician thinks that it helped her husband immensely. Read about it at TampaBay.com.

I have tasted coconut oil and it would be a very good-tasting supplement that is relatively inexpensive and, if it unfortunately produced no positive results for your family member, it would be unlikely to cause any harm.

Today Was The Last Day For Early Voting

There were HUGE lines winding around buildings before the polls closed in Jacksonville, much more so than in my small county. I’m not sure that many people are aware that instead of the quick and easy electronic voting machines from last election, they will have to use a pen and blacken the dot corresponding to the choice that they wish to make. While it doesn’t sound difficult (and isn’t), for somebody with arthritis or a tremor, this process could take much longer.

It’s Like He is Planning to Make Sure the Economy Never Recovers

The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.

You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.

They — you — you can already see what the arguments will be during the general election. People will say, “Ah, Obama and Al Gore, these folks, they’re going to destroy the economy, this is going to cost us eight trillion dollars,” or whatever their number is. Um, if you can’t persuade the American people that yes, there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage, changing lightbulbs and more efficient appliance, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy, the economy would benefit.
If we can’t make that argument persuasively enough, you — you, uh, can be Lyndon Johnson, you can be the master of Washington. You’re not going to get that done.

I suppose that, like most leftists, he is completely incapable of looking up data on his own to see that the climate has actually been cooling since 1998 and instead must be spoonfed doctored facts by nutjobs like James Hansen and Al Gore, who is making hundreds of millions of dollars on his carbon trading scam.

He is sure depending heavily on those persons in industries that he is planning to put out of business to elect him to be president. Are they gonna do it? Guess we’ll find out November 4th.

Here’s another one:
