The Doc says: "Results converge on a conclusion that some aspects of age-related cognitive decline begin in healthy, educated adults when they are in their 20s and 30s. There is some good news, though. The report states that abilities based on accumulated knowledge, such as performance on tests of vocabulary or general information, increase until at least the age of 60." So accumulate knowledge! Don't waste your life trying to seem youthful. Enjoy the aging process or live a lie...

Barack Obama isn't going to be President of the United States, ever. He was born in Mombosa, Kenya and naturalized as a citizen of Indonesia. He's an illegal immigrant who's legal name is Barry Soetoro. He's not eligible due to the fact that he is not a natural born citizen of the United States of America. Don't expect to ever be told this by the folks at the Hook or the C-Ville, or the Daily Progress. They're all on government payroll, whether they even know it or not. WE CAN STOP BARACK OBAMA, AKA BARRY SOETORO, FROM TAKING OVER THIS COUNTRY'S EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. WE CAN DEPORT HIM BACK TO WHERE HE CAME FROM. LET'S DO IT!!!
