| Biden and Obama are liberal elitists, and as such they don't like regular Americans like Joe. To be more accurate, it's not so much that they don't like him... it's more a belief that he's just not as high-level a human being as they are, because he's a hard-working man: he gets dirty, he works 12-... |

| Has anyone noticed how Joe Biden, the Obama campaign and the media in general has suddenly attacked the poor blue-collar plumber named Joe, made famous during the presidential debates? Based on the transcript provided, I don't see Biden's comments as attacks. He and Jay Leno were just having a "cut... |

One thing I've learned in dealing with people:

and
Having money doesn't mean one has brains.

| It fades after a month or two and then I can focus on other things, but right now I'm caught in the grip of this obsession again. I have "special interests" like that, too. Every few months, I'll get re-obsessed with them for awhile and it's all I focus on, but it dies down after a week or so. But ... |

| My current "special interest" is the most intense one I've ever had, and it is pretty much all that I think about and want to talk about. My other three big "special interests" are intense, too, but not nearly as much as my current one. Yes, having obsessive interests is the hallmark symptom of AS,... |

| Does not smelling your own room, or smelling the stinky family dog have to do with Aspergers? How is it possible that other people can smell it and you don't? It has nothing to do with Aspergers, although sometimes people with AS may care little about personal hygeine so they forget to bathe. What ... |

I have family members (a cousin and an aunt) who would like to get checked out for AS (or other possible issues) but their insurance doesn't cover this ki... |

I certainly seem unable to even twist the truth when it comes to my defending myself. I did conclude that... |
