1 Injecting botulism into your body might be detrimental? Huh, you learn something new every day.

3 Katie Couric! Call your doctor immediately!

4 How about coffee enemas?

5 Taking a syringe to the forehead habitually can't end well.

6 Then how does one explain Waxman...?

7 Lol wut?

8 Have you ever met a person blind from birth?  Have you ever noticed how socially inept many of them are?  It's because they never learned to read the subtle facial and body language cues we take for granted which make up a huge portion of our social communication.

Freezing your face into the Joker's grin does the same shit.  Can't say it, can't hear it.

9 "ognitive blindness to information in the world."

Isn't that the definition of liberal?

10 I don't get it.

11 Oh, this is too perfect.  Are you sure it isn't a hoax?

12
Thanks for the article.  I only recently determined that injecting Botox into my dick would give me a 50-day boner, and I was good with that after all the gay bars I cruise.

13 Oh, this is too perfect.  Are you sure it isn't a hoax?

If it is a hoax, who cares?  We're getting mileage out of it either way.

14

That could only do Nancy Pelosi a world of good.

15

When I was a kid, there were some publicized incidents of botulism poisoning, mostly in canned tuna fish.  People died eating that stuff.

I never understood how anyone could inject poison into their skull, right in front of their (alleged) brains.  That's some real vanity there.

 

16 botox, botulism toxin....people forget that

17 Oh, this is too perfect.  Are you sure it isn't a hoax?

Let's run it.

22 Well here I sit, all alone with a broken heart. I took three Barneys, and my health care bill won't start.

Classic! I think Mayer should stop using Botox. He is obviously cognitively blind to some information, like what planet we live on.

24 "The recorded history of botulism begins in 1735, when the disease was first associated with German sausage (food-borne disease or food poisoning after eating sausage). In 1870, a German physician by the name of Muller derived the name botulism from the Latin word for sausage. Clostridium botulinum bacteria were first isolated in 1895, and a neurotoxin that it produces was isolated in 1944 by Dr. Edward Schantz. From1949 to the 1950s, the toxin (named BoNT A) was shown to block neuromuscular transmissions by blocking the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve endings. Botulism toxin(s) are some of the most toxic substances known to man; while the toxin has been considered for use as a biological weapon, it has also been used to treat many medical conditions. In 1980, Dr. Scott used the toxin to treat strabismus(deviation of the eye), and in December 1989, BoNT-A (BOTOX) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of strabismus, blepharospasm, and hemifacial spasm in young patients. The use of BOTOX to treat glabellar lines (wrinkles and frown lines) was approved in 2002 by the FDA for cosmetic improvements; the FDA has approved many additional uses (for example, underarm sweating, and muscle pain disorders) since 2002"

25

A new study suggests that by paralyzing the frown muscles that ordinarily are engaged when we feel angry, Botox short-circuits the emotion itself

The Pelosi Banshee is obviously impervious to this effect.

26

Botox works on the local level by paralyzing muscles. It also kills that way.

I thinks it's fitting that the vanity of our politicians is really what kills them. What's the guys name, Narcissus?

27 Well this is just great! I finally finish my smallpox diet and I'm all ready to begin a regimen of bubonic therapy and now this news comes out.
So hard to trust a toxin these days.

Does this explain John F-ing Kerry's botched joke?

34 I'd bet a donut there's a lot more democrats in congress abusing Botox than Republicans.  This could be turned into a campaign issue.  Put forth a "I'm Botox Free" pledge and challenge all of them to sign it.

Pelosi Aide: Democrats Have Settled on Reconciliation   [Daniel Foster]

Via Washington Examiner and Life News.com:

"In comments reported by Congress Daily, House Speaker Nancy PelosiÂ’s top health care aide Wendell Primus admitted top Democrats have already decided on the strategy to pass the Senate's pro-abortion, government-run health care bill.

"Primus explained that the Senate will use the controversial reconciliation strategy that will have the House approve the Senate bill and both the House and Senate okaying changes to the bill that the Senate will sign off on by preventing Republicans from filibustering.

“'The trick in all of this is that the president would have to sign the Senate bill first, then the reconciliation bill second, and the reconciliation bill would trump the Senate bill,' Primus said at the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs.

“'There's a certain skill, there's a trick, but I think we'll get it done,' he said."

39 "Primus explained that the Senate will use the controversial reconciliation strategy that will have the House approve the Senate bill and both the House and Senate okaying changes to the bill that the Senate will sign off on by preventing Republicans from filibustering.

Does Pelosi still have enough votes in the House to pass the Senate bill?  Murtha is still dead, the lone republican who voted for it claims he will not do so again, and I thought I heard some other dems are getting cold feet about supporting ObamaCare.  Would the Stupak crowd support the Senate bill?  All it takes is for one of them (maybe Bart Stupak himself) to vote no and it's over.

 

 

 

47 Botox also affects math skills, apparently.

48 Speaker Pelosi's motto is Fork the Children!

49 Tell sot Teddy at the fiery gates, ........

50 You shoulda seen me back in the day.  I could suck a polo pony ball through a chain-link fence.  I could tell when people were hot for me.

"Does Pelosi still have enough votes in the House to pass the Senate bill? "

Wexler won't be replaced until Apr

52 Then how is it that San Fran Nan is still such a vicious cunt?

53 PA, half the items cites in that article came from that esteemed science and medical magazine, Newsweek.

Politically is sounds good to the point of snarkyness; scientifically I'd like something from JAMA.

54 so guess he sealed the deal at the Super Bowl party. There was only one republican, the rest were dems.  And the CEO's.

"You shoulda seen me back in the day.  I could suck a polo pony ball through a chain-link fence.  I could tell when people were hot for me."

Did a fine job (suck) starting my bikes, too.

56 since everyone else works from home on the computer, can they work from home, can they vote from home?   Is that what she is going to pull off?

I wish I knew.  The progressives want it so bad, desperation is propelling them into corrupt and uncharted territory.

61 Just cause she was in that russian porn movie, 'Barbra does  Moscow' doesn't mean we have an open ticket on cruelty. Her government work did that for us.

So THAT'S where he got the thousand-yard-stare.

It certainly wasn't from his combat experience.

77 Doctor: "Mrs. Pelosi, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Pelosi: Give it to me straight, Doc." Dr: Well, I inadvertently used tattoo needles to do your procedure instead of hypodermic needles. Pelosi: "What's the bottom line?" Dr: "Instead of looking like a young Hollywood nymphette, you look like a Fiji Warrior. Pelosi: "You mean like Al Sharpton?" Dr: "No, Ma'am, much fiercer." Pelosi: "Perfect!"

78 Brain and brain!  What is brain!?

79 In college I took a Psychology class. We discussed a study that indicated that a normal person strongly associated facial gestures with emotions. No surprise there. The interesting bit was that you could change your mood by imitating the gesture that represents the emotion you wish to feel. Feel sad and want to be happy? Smile! I've done this ever since and I am a believer. It doesn't surprise me that someone who is stone-faced not only feels stony inside, they are engaging others with that stony face. If everyone you meet in a day takes the set face you present to them and cues from that, they'll treat you with a stony face and body and voice in return. After years of this your entire personality will change.

80

Other people tell me, I'd look better if I smile.

They can't seem to understand, I couldn't if I tried.

81
Wow! Take away my anger and my ability to read it in others sounds great! The best part is I can always be happy now! A happy, subservient employee for this Capitalist society! I would become the model consumer for my country and it would be considered my patriotic duty!

82 79  You mean Piglousy was once a sweet, good hearted, and intellegent girl once upon a time?

"....but folks, it really is the Botox...."

Not to mention the Lexapro, Xanax, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Remeron and Zyban.

87 85 -- oh, now you didn't need to haul off and make that comment; I'm already queasy with an incoming flu bug!

88 The wierd part is that whenever I see an image of Pelosi, I think of Soundgarden's video for Black Hole Sun.

89 "You mean Piglousy was once a sweet, good hearted, and intellegent girl once upon a time?"  I doubt it -- I think it just made her more-so.

“Botox [also] induces a kind of mild, temporary cognitive blindness to information in the world, social information about the emotions of other people”

What's wrong with the rest of them, toupees too tight?
