It's autodidact to learn to live in the aftermath of the Boston bombings. Despite it all, this young couple is moving forward.
FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY...he lost 90 percent of his right Achilles' tendon and suffered multiple broken bones in the Boston Marathon bombing - she's had 14 surgeries, and still may lose her leg. Still, Pete DiMartino got down on one knee next to Rebekah Gregory's wheelchair and asked her to marry him. Youre my best friend and I love you,' he said. Her reply? "Yes!"

In Obama we have the gold, silver, and bronze medalist in the jerk-off Olympics:
They are in his display case, right next to his unearned Nobel Peace Prize.

I really do believe that Harry Reid believes all of the Senate’s “budget legislation” can be reduced to a series of autodidthatactagain continuing resolutions.
No thinking required.
No voting required.
No Constitutional requirements required.

He was never a professor, only an instructor. Which is no better than a TA. Sorry, it irks me when people assume he was more than he ever was.

What is going to happen, is people are going to start using more aggressive forms of self defense.
Like Zimmerman did.

Apparently Queen Latiyfa Lee used the word
correctly
To: TruthShallSetYouFree
I’m increasingly appalled
By the arrogance on display
By Obama’s ignorant minions
Practically every other day
Each one has the delusion
They’ve become an autodidact
By posting thoughts on twitter
And presenting them as fact
The only “fact” involved there
Is that they look like fools
Who have been drinking koolkaid
And went to useless liberal schools
