The Social Poets: What Obama and Romney Should Be Talking About: These 2 Sick Little Girls: From Denny: It's time to stop the madness along with the childish political campaign bickering. Americans don't want to hear it anyway. There are bigger issues at stake like the lives of these two seriously ill little girls from Utah, Natalie and Alice Fish. In light of what this one American family is enduring should shame all the national politicians who are so self-absorbed they have not stopped long enough to notice.
I'm so disgusted with the 2012 election's childish name-calling tone and enabling media encouraging it that I change the channel constantly. As a respite yesterday I went up on my page at Google + to catch up on those who friended me.
Well, it turned out these little Fish girls' parents friended me (that's a link to their Google+ page). It's a good thing I always take the time to read a profile page or I might have missed this struggling life drama of a middle class family. These little girls are real troopers and have been living in and out of hospitals since they were born. Their parents are to be commended for going the distance with not just one child but now two with this rare problem.

The Social Poets: New York Times Un-American To Criticize Olympics Athlete Lolo Jones Before Race

The current group has too many members who are all about plagiarizing letters to the editor (like what happened to me one too many times so I quit reading them years ago, then started up my own pack of blogs as a copyrighted version of letters to the editor. Hey, it works for me.)
Their other favorite tactic now is ripping an Olympic athlete just days before competition. How un-American can you get to criticize any athlete representing your country just before competition?
Smile while you promote yourself with satire

Dennys: News Politics Comedy Science Arts & Food: 227 Posts Roundup at Dennys Blogs 1 August 2012
Dennys: News Politics Comedy Science Arts & Food: 227 Posts Roundup at Dennys Blogs 1 August 2012: From Denny: With about 100 days until the 2012 election for a new President or a second term for President Obama, there is a lot stirring around in the news. Both the Romney and Obama campaigns are working hard to influence opinion polls and the news coverage.
Somewhere along the way the truth has been buried. Yet scandal after scandal emerges from the Obama administration while Romney stumbles with international gaffes. All this explains why the polls reveal two-thirds of America thinks we are on the wrong track.
