Struggling

This is what Michelle Obama said today:


“Every day, I hear about how folks are struggling — the bills they’re trying to pay; the businesses they’re trying to keep afloat. I hear about how folks are taking that extra shift, they’re working that extra job, they’re doing whatever they have to — they’re saving, they’re sacrificing, never spending a dime on themselves because they desperately want something better for their kids.

“And make no mistake about it, these struggles that I’m talking about, these are not new. For decades now — decades — middle-class folks have been squeezed from all sides. See, the cost of things like gas, groceries, tuition — prices continuing to rise, but people’s paychecks just haven’t kept up. And when this economic crisis hit, for far too many families the bottom just completely fell out.”


Funny, right?  This, from the woman that just returned from her 16th vacation in THREE YEARS!!

I could say more, but none of what I'd like to say is very nice, so I will let her own words and actions speak for themselves.

 Well, this is interesting. I went to google in search of a new picture of the angry woman, and guess what??? Google has been removing all the slowly, angry, bitter pictures of her and replaced them with happy, smiles of Mrs. Obama.  AHH, probably because this is an election year. Gotta put the best face forward.  Good thing I had an older photo of her depicting her true self. Haha.

Gas, gas, gas...up, up and away

I was just reading on Michelle Malkin's site that our prez., Odumbo, will be speaking tomorrow about the rising gas prices.  I laughed to myself, because I can only imagine what the clown is going to say. I'm sure he will blame Bush, tell us there is nothing he can do about it in the short term and that we should be carpooling or taking public transportation.  As I neared the end of the article, the author wrote a synopsis of what we will most likely be hearing tomorrow from the Kenyan squatter in the WH.  Here it is:

"To save you some time, here’s Obama’s gas price speech in about 50 words: “Payroll tax cut to help families cover the rising fuel cost that’s a sign ofeconomic recovery. Increase domestic energy output tempered by environmental sensitivity. No quick fixes. Buy Chevy Volts. Republicans playing politics. Remember global warming. More clean energy initiatives. Trade inyour gas guzzler. Trouble with Iran.”

Good job, right?  Haha.

Under Obama

Since 2009, when Obama took office, those receiving food stamps rose from 26 million participants to over 46 million!  The price of gas has risen 83% under Obama! Does that sound like recovery? Hardly.

Bet you haven't heard this story! Joe Miller, former Republican Senator from Alaska has disclosed that the Obama administration has given away SEVEN strategic islands to Russia....in secret.  Senator Miller's report is below.  The mainstream media has said absolutely nothing about this! 

"The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton.

The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition – but the State Department doesn’t seem to care.

The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangell, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangell became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joe Miller has also added the following information. 

Author’s addendum, Feb. 17, 2012: This is not a new issue. In fact the Bush and Clinton administrations are directly at fault for the same inaction. A maritime agreement negotiated by the U.S. State Department set the Russian boundary on the other side of the disputed islands, but no treaty has ratified this action. Consequently, it is within the president’s power to stop this giveaway. The Alaska delegation’s failure to put pressure on the administration is inexplicable. State Department Watch, an organization that assisted with this article, has confronted each administration and is currently confronting the Obama administration — and has been met by silence. I’m hoping this piece will help reinvigorate efforts to stop this handover.

Joshua Bell-world famous violinist goes unnoticed


From the Washington Post:
Pearls Before Breakfast
Can one of the nation's great musicians cut through the fog of a D.C. rush hour? Let's find out.
By Gene Weingarten
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, April 8, 2007; Page W10
HE EMERGED FROM THE METRO AT THE L'ENFANT PLAZA STATION AND POSITIONED HIMSELF AGAINST A WALL BESIDE A TRASH BASKET. By most measures, he was nondescript: a youngish white man in jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt and a Washington Nationals baseball cap. From a small case, he removed a violin. Placing the open case at his feet, he shrewdly threw in a few dollars and pocket change as seed money, swiveled it to face pedestrian traffic, and began to play.

It was 7:51 a.m. on Friday, January 12, the middle of the morning rush hour. In the next 43 minutes, as the violinist performed six classical pieces, 1,097 people passed by. Almost all of them were on the way to work, which meant, for almost all of them, a government job. L'Enfant Plaza is at the nucleus of federal Washington, and these were mostly mid-level bureaucrats with those indeterminate, oddly fungible titles: policy analyst, project manager, budget officer, specialist, facilitator, consultant.

Only in Michigan

Haha! Of course a sign would be like this in Michigan...White Lake Township, Oakland County.
Who was the numbskull that thought this idiocy up? Can you imagine driving down the road and approaching this sign? First, you'd have to check the time, precisely...to the minute to ensure your speed is not in excess of 25mph during those to the minute times as opted on the sign. God help you if your clock were a couple minutes off.  Second, you'd damn near have to stop first just to read the stupid thing.

I've never been very impressed with anyone that hails from the state of Michigan, and this just further convinces me......their minds are mush.

Truth Team

President Obama is trying to recruit a 2 million member-strong "Truth Team" to ensure that those speaking out against his administration are appropriately dealt with. I'm not kidding. A reporter uncovered the new logo to be used....the image on the left is to be used as an armband.  Look familiar?
Way back when...in 2008, ObaMao rolled out:
"Fight the smears" campaign

Last fall, they tried again, with:
"Attack Watch"

That's not to mention the "If you see something, say something" brought to you by DHS.

Now, they've changed Attack Watch to Truth Team. Same premise, different name. Just a horse of a different color.  What I find alarming is the logo, sure, they will say the 'T's' merely represent the words Truth Team. Bullcrap. If that's not a close replication of  Hitler's swastika, I don't know what is.  Holy Nazi Germany, Batman!

The funny thing is, (really not funny at all) is that he puts much effort into convincing the public that HE is telling the truth, when in fact, nothing he says or does is truthful.

Who really blocked Keystone Pipeline?

This news does not surprise me, but it certainly ticks me off. If you don't know who George Soros is, you need to research him. In a few words, I will sum Soros up by saying he is an evil, vile billionaire who calls the shots and controls Obama. He is the master puppeteer.


Canadian Resources Minister Joe Oliver says Barack Obama blocked the pipeline deal on behalf of radical left-wing Billionaire George

Soros has pumped millions into American far-left groups, many of which used some of his money to campaign for Barack Obama.

Barack Obama vetoed a major oil pipeline deal that would have brought thousands of new jobs and decreased our oil dependency on the Middle East. Obama is ensuring that unemployment stays high, gas prices climb, and America keeps sending tens of billions to Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela. The so-called “environmental concerns” are completely unfounded.

The liberal Washington Post called Obama’s veto “an act of national insanity.” Liberal TIME magazine attacked Obama and said the veto means Canadian oil will go to China and Americans will continue buying oil from Saudi Arabia.

Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver recently blamed billionaire agitator George Soros, who funds extreme left-wing causes in North America, Europe, and Central Asia. He also fingered the US based Tides Foundation.

The Tides Foundation is a left-wing not for profit with a budget in the hundreds of millions. They are most known for promoting the global warming hoax.~~council concerned citizens

This picture sums up how I've been feeling lately. I love my country and for everything it stands for, yet I find myself with head bowed, both in sadness for where we are heading and in prayer for hope that God will protect us.

They are going WAY too Far!!

Cafeteria lunch (Generic photo)

RAEFORD, N.C. — A Hoke County preschooler was fed chicken nuggets for lunch because a state worker felt that her homemade lunch did not have enough nutritional value, according to a report by theCarolina Journal.

The West Hoke Elementary School student was in her More at Four classroom when a U.S. Department of Agriculture agent who was inspecting lunch boxes decided that her packed lunch — which consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, a banana, apple juice and potato chips — “did not meet USDA guidelines,” the Journal reports.

The decision was made under consideration of a regulation put in place by the the Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services, which requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs to meet USDA guidelines.

“When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones,” the Journal reports.

The student’s mother told the Journal she received a note from the school about the incident and was charged $1.25 for the cafeteria tray, from which her daughter only ate three chicken nuggets.

The note explained how students who did not bring “healthy lunches” would be offered the missing portions and that parents could be charged for the cost of the cafeteria food, the Journal reports.

The mother, who was not identified in the report, expressed concern about school officials telling her daughter that she wasn’t “packing her lunch box properly.”

Travel NOT To Mexico


More warnings about travel to Mexico.  Stay away from the RED area. I find it interesting that the clown in D.C., Janet skunk head Napolitano and everyone else in the admin. has expressed virtually no concern about our southern border. For those of us who have been paying attention, we've seen the violence increase, we've heard about the murders (beheadings), And we know about the Fast and 
Furious scandal. You'd have to be an ostrich to not know. But......for all ostriches, I bet you heard the following from last spring and summer:

In May, 2011, the idiot in the WH made light of the border problems:

"You know, they said we needed to triple the Border Patrol. Or now they’re going to say we need to quadruple the Border Patrol. Or they’ll want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied."~ pres. Odumbo

"......the present-day border is more secure than ever.~ Aug., 2011- Fed. govt. top border official

---------------------------------------
The border is NOT safe. There is too much money with drugs coming over the border. Our politicians have no plans to secure the border. Too much money at stake.

Moose Munching

Haha. This picture was taken in Anchorage a couple days ago. Anchorage has had a lot of snow this winter and as you can see from the picture, a car has been buried underneath the snow (looks like its been there a while). Between the snow and the car, it provided the moose with a perfect lift to reach the tree.

Facebook Parenting

If more parents would take action like this Dad did, perhaps the generation of "I'm entitled" would show a little respect and appreciation. Some say this guy is being too harsh...l say 'Way to go!'

Let's Move

To take part in Texas anti-obesity events, Michelle Obama, has officially arrived AND is mucking up the commute home for hundreds of Dallas residents.  How do I know? Henry just called and asked if Odumbo was in town, because there is an entire entourage of black and white vehicles, roads blocked and a congested mess.

Two weeks ago, our daughter got caught in the same mess in Arizona when Ovomit was passing through. Amanda was unable to get home and had to park her vehicle several blocks away. She said she stomped through the crowd of cheering idiots and considered giving Obama the middle finger salute.  Of course she didn't, because she was raised to show respect. Had it been me however, it would have been a two handed middle finger salute.


I swear, they deliberately choose rush hour times to crusade through cities. You know, they are king and queen of America, after all. Puke.  Say what you will, but the two of them make me sick.

***watching the news right now. Egypt. Muslim Brotherhood. Problems. Civilians are fearful for their lives. Muslim Brotherhood is taking control. Islamic law is all but there. Thanks, Barry.  Knew this is what would happen! Been saying it for months...but at the time, the idiot liberals were rejoicing 'power to the people'. Wake up!!!




Facebook And Murder

Have we gone completely crazy? A Facebook murder? YES. I have definitively decided that the moral decay we are witnessing today in society has reached a new level of insanity.  Yesterday, I was reading that a recent study has determined that Facebook can lower one's self esteem. I was thinking 'are you nuts?' 


Lo and behold, today, we see the story below. Guess her low self esteem led to murder. Unbelievable.


MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. (The Blaze/AP) — A father who was upset after a Tennessee couple deleted his adult daughter as a friend on Facebook has been charged in the shooting deaths of the couple, authorities said Wednesday.

The victims had complained to police that Marvin‘s Potter’s daughter was harassing them after they deleted her as a friend on the social networking site, Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece said Wednesday.

Considering how tragic the crime is and how despicable the motive was, I think it's only suiting that the mugshots of these two morally corrupt pukes be posted.

Alaska

Wasilla, Alaska. This young calf pays frequent visits to this home. They've even nicknamed him 'Nubs'.

This, unlike the story a week or so ago of the elderly man that was chased down and stomped on by a moose. Luckily, his 85 year old wife was brave enough to grab the shovel from their truck and did a little stomping of her own, chasing the moose off.  The husband suffered some cuts and bruises, but is fine.

Moose are unpredictable and should be treated as such, but I always enjoy these kind of pictures.

Dictator Wannabe

“Our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.” - Obama

Obama Translation: "Our Founders" are in my way. But I'm consistently and successfully finding ways to get around them.

Founder's Translation: The Founding Fathers of this Republic deliberately wrote the U.S. Constitution to stifle a would be dictator ... knowing full-well one would be coming along sometime after they were gone. ~babalua

~~~~~~~~~~~

I wonder how many people even caught this. With Obama, you have to really listen to his words to fully understand the state of his mind.

This cracked me up when I saw it, as it's like a cross between full timing and four wheeling. Woo hoo!

Hidden Fees On All Mortgages

(CBS News)  

Just before Christmas, American workers got a rare gift from Washington politicians - the current payroll tax cut would be extended for two more months.

At the time, both President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner lauded the move to avoid a tax increase for millions of working Americans.

But there's something the politicians weren't bragging about - the fact that they're paying for the two-month tax cut with what has turned into a brand new fee on home buyers.

The new fee is a minimum of one-tenth of 1 percent on Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-backed loans, and is likely to go much higher.

It will be imposed for the next 10 years on most mortgages and refinancings and it lasts for the life of the loan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isn't this just lovely!!! An increase in our mortgages every single month!  The ONLY person that raised a red flag and tried to stop this was Col. Allen West, but nobody bothered to listen.  This is so typical of our Congressmen and Senators. Tell us they're cutting taxes but NOT telling us they're imposing hidden fees to pay for it. As if homeowners aren't struggling enough as it is. 

How do you like that hope and change now, Obots?

New Dishes On The Way

We have been in need of new dishes since what feels like years, and when we moved in to the condo., we looked at some, picked one we both liked and talked about getting them...but had been putting it off...until today!

The ones we liked are on sale 50% off, AND a coupon code for an additional 40% off good until tomorrow, AND shipping for only $7.95.  How could I resist? I just ordered them and am so excited! Service for eight..wow!

Friday Fun....Really! This is Unbelievable!

I saw this on Ticker Forum today. all I can say is OMG. This is what our education system is turning out??? Bet dollars to doughnuts every single one of these kids know the most popular video game and who Kim whats-her-face is. To think they will be running this country in a few years. Eek.

Robin Hood Tax

The following is from a friend, which she wrote two days ago. She was out in front of today's UN story which I just posted below.


"The Robin Hood Tax. Sounds like a fable...something dreamt up by the liberal progressives in some far off fantasy land, right? WRONG. It's REAL, and it's HERE. A "tiny" tax that will yield 400 BILLION per year.

It's being pushed by Buffet, Soros, Leo Gerard, President Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Merkel of Germany....you know those two. They are the ones guiding the intentional collapse of the Euro. I forgot to mention THE UNIONS, OWS CROWD and the Salvation Army are also on board and pushing this worldwide. It's their AGENDA!

The bill (known as the Financial Transaction Tax) has already been introduced here in the US. Democratic members of Congress Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Sen. Tom Harkin  (D-Iowa) have introduced legislation that levies a 0.03 percent transaction tax  on the value of stocks, bonds and derivatives transactions. It is unlikely to  pass a Republican House which is dead set against raising taxes, but it's being floated and the UNIONS LOVE IT.

Ralph Nader wrote  an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal advocating for a transaction tax. “The  passage of such a tax would be a great start for our representatives in Congress  to show that they’ve heard the message” of the Occupy Wall Street movement, said  Nader."~~~L. Rockwell.


France came out last week announcing a financial tax on all transactions which will take effect this JULY.

This WILL TAX HEDGE FUNDS! Now we know why George Soros closed up his hedge funds last year. He KNEW this was coming, and it would have hit him hard.


How does Obama fit into all of this?  The Global Poverty Act. Obama introduced the bill during his one term in the U.S. Senate. From News with Views was this:
The bill was one of the only pieces of legislation ever introduced by Senator Barack Obama, and it wasn’t just a compassionate bit of fluff that Obama dreamed up to help the poor of the world. This bill was directly tied to the United Nations and served as little more than a shake down of American taxpayers in a massive wealth redistribution scheme. The Global Poverty Act would provide the United Nations with 0.7% of the United States gross national product. 


It's way past time to wake up, people. Or....nothing to see, just move along?


Global Tax

NEW YORK — Outside the United Nations headquarters, hundreds of people were shouting and waving banners Tuesday that read "China and Russia – No Veto." These people wanted support from the Security Council of the U.N. to oust the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.

Inside the U.N., another group of civil society leaders demanded a basic level of social security as they promoted a "social protection floor" at a preparatory forum for the Commission on Social Development, which began Feb. 1.

"No one should live below a certain income level," stated Milos Koterec, President of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. "Everyone should be able to access at least basic health services, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services."

These services were presented at the forum as basic human rights equal to the rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

The money to fund these services may come from a new world tax.

"We will need a modest but long-term way to finance this transformation," stated Jens Wandel, Deputy Director of the United Nations Development Program. "One idea which we could consider is a minimal financial transaction tax (of .005 percent). This will create $40 billion in revenue."

"It is absolutely essential to establish controls on capital movements and financial speculation," said Ambassador Jorge Valero, the current Chairman of the Commission on Social Development. He called for "progressive policies of taxation" that would require "those who earn more to pay more taxes."

The Donald has Spoken

This afternoon, this idiot came out and endorsed the idiot below. I see on Google there's a story where Trump  gives his reasons for endorsing Romney. Do not care, Trump. You have just confirmed what I've believed all along, you're a liberal just like the rest of them.  Romney will most likely be the nominee. Ugh. I will vote for him, despite not liking anything about the guy. However, keep in mind that all the Ron Paul supporters will be writing in Paul's name, so it could be 1992 all over again, and we will be stuck with the Muslim in chief for another four years.

Put A Lid On It

I wish he would just STOP ALREADY! Obama at the National prayer breakfast this morning decided to quote the Bible. Not only is this clown NOT a Christian, I also believe he doesn't give a rip about the poor as he appears to claim. His comments coming on the heels of Romney's comment as to not worrying about the poor, are obviously a dig at Romney.

"I know that far too many neighbors in our country have been hurt and treated unfairly over the last few years, and I believe in God’s command to ‘love thy neighbor as thyself,’” Obama said. “I know the version of that Golden Rule is found in every major religion and every set of beliefs -– from Hinduism to Islam to Judaism to the writings of Plato.”
And Obama said he believed in a "biblical call" to care for the poor and to follow "the responsibility we're given in Proverbs to `Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.'"

Stop already, Obama. Just stop.

Oh, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie

Ben Bernanke. What a piece of work he is. As I was reading his statements made today, most of which are a complete line of Bullcrap, I thought it'd be interesting to look a some of his statements from previous years.
Let's take a little trip down memory lane to see how accurate he was, or shall I say let's take a look at some of his glaring, outright lies. Yeah! That would be more accurate.

On May, 17, 2007, I give you bend over Bernanke:

"The subprime mess is grave but largely contained, said Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Thursday, in a speech before the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. While rising delinquencies and foreclosures will continue to weigh heavily on the housing market this year, it will not cripple the U.S. economy, he said?
Largely contained? Will not cripple the economy?  Wow. He had that ALL wrong, didn't he?

He goes on to say....".We are likely to see further increases in delinquencies and foreclosures this year and next,” Bernanke said. “Although a leveling-off of sales late last year suggested some stabilization of housing demand..."
Keep in mind, this was 2007 when he said this.  

In August, 2007, Bernanke barks again. Check it out:

Mr. Bernanke, speaking at the Fed's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., said the central bank will "act as needed" to prevent the credit crisis from hurting the national economy."
Translation...bailout 

Hang on. Let's rewind to 2006 just for the heck of it.

"Housing markets are cooling a bit. Our expectation is that the decline in activity or the slowing in activity will be moderate, that house prices will probably continue to rise.”

Wrong again, Bennie. He's either an idiot or a liar. My guess is both.  Look at what he said in January, 2008:


"The Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession.”
Let's give him the benefit of doubt here. He says they're not forecasting a recession. Forecasting the operative word, perhaps?

In June, 2008, he speaks again, saying:

"The risk that the economy has entered a substantial downturn appears to have diminished over the past month or so.”.  
Wrong again!

August,2009:
"After contracting sharply over the past year, economic activity appears to be leveling out, both in the United States and abroad, and the prospects for a return to growth in the near term appear good"

In July, 2010' Bennie boy has no choice but to acknowledge the true state of the economy...with a little whitewash....and more lies. Look:

"despite ongoing signs of weakness in the economy, central bankers expect gradual recovery over the next few years, although the labor market healing will be slower than previously thought."

In August, 2011, he appears to be a bit more honest, but quite frankly, it's too little, too late. Here's what he said in Jackson Hole last fall:

"without significant policy changes, the finances of the federal government will inevitably spiral out of control, risking severe economic and financial damage.”
Whoa! Better fire up the printing presses, Ben! Speaking of which, look what he had to say waayy back in 2002 at a speech he made:

"The US Government has a technology, called a printing press, that allows it to produce as many US dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost"

Hahaha. Hilarious.

Today, Bernanke is still spinning:


"pace of the recovery has been frustratingly slow” where a “sluggish expansion has left the economy vulnerable to shocks.”

No cause for alarm, no need to worry, Bernanke's on top of the situation and monitoring it closely..or so he says.  The guy is a joke!  My whole point in this is to show how many people take what these clowns say and run with it, by continuing to invest in the stock market, or what have you. They believe the lie, each and every time, without taking a few minutes and doing a little due diligence to learn what the truth is.  Greenspan, Paulson and Bernanke knew 6 years ago what was happening...they knew the foreclosures were coming and the economy was going to tank, yet in front of cameras, they lied to the American people. And many were just dumb enough to believe them.

FDA Strikes Again

Blue Diamond, a company well known for the cans of almonds, walnuts and peanuts, that we see so often in the stores just got the smack down from our beloved FDA. Here's the statement Blue Diamond put on their website and packaging for their walnuts:

" the omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts have been shown to have certain health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. 

These claims, Faloon (of Diamond Foods) notes, are well supported by scientific research: “

ENTER THE FDA- their letter to Blue Diamond:

"Your walnut products are drugs” — and “new drugs” at that — and, therefore, “they may not legally be marketed … in the United States without an approved new drug application.”
 The agency even threatened Diamond with “seizure” if it failed to comply.

Once again, we have the over reaching arm of our very own government throwing their weight around. God forbid the general public should seek out and consume a food product that actually has a health benefit to it.
Which, in actuality, is precisely WHY the FDA continues these tactics. You see, if we suffer ailments and aren't privy to a natural remedy or prevention, we will seek out medical treatment. We visit our doctor, he writes a prescription that has been approved by the FDA, and everyone benefits financially......except you!

It gets better! Here's more of the FDA's letter.


 “We have determined that your walnut products are promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs because these products are intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease.” Furthermore, the products are also “misbranded” because they “are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore, adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes.”

 Who knew you had to have directions to eat walnuts?
