Facial expressions reveal more than you know
Washington - You don't need to actually see or smell something unpleasant to know it is disgusting, you only need to look at someone else's expression, according to research.

The brain responds the same whether a person actually experiences something disgusting, or just sees another person reacting, Italian researchers found.

Writing in the October 30th issue of the journal Neuron, they said they saw the same brain activity in people who smelled a foul odour and in those looking at someone else smelling a foul odour.

1. You mean that Bush smells his own sh*t?
Because every time I see his face, I get a whiff.

2. There's only one other person's facial expressions who makes me
as sick as I get when I see Junior. It's Nancy Grace, (I think that's here name.) She is on Larry King almost everyday. I turn off the show whenever she's on. (Blonde dyed hair x-prosecutor)

3. She always looks like she's sneering
She looks as if everything and everyone is contemptable to her. I find her unpleasant to watch as well.

6. How do you think she even got on Larry's show in the first place?
I'm actually opened minded and enjoy a good debate (offering of different points of view) from all people. (I'm glad the teachers never once used the word 'left' 'right' 'conservative' 'liberal' when I was in school. (Philosophy, Debate, Speech, Religion... classes). They just told us to give our honest opinions. Or we had to research and defend an opinion which we disagreed with. Never once did the teachers use labels we see now.

Bla Bla Bla, rambling...

That women makes me sick and I honestly change the channel.

But I do like to listen to some other opposite points of view. I used to like Gergen but I'm pissed at him now. I don't see why the Dems. don't sue him for slander. 'No Dems have a plan for Iraq.' Why a lie! What GOP Whoring!

4. expressions
I have taken up watching faces. The more I watch Bush, I'm seeing the shark look, black and empty. Dangerous.

5. If you think that's bad
try Cheney. Look at his face the next time you see a photo of him. Look really closely (I know, it's hard). The left side of his face looks more or less reasonable. But the right side is an unbelievable twisted, sinister sneer. His mouth hangs down in a hateful frown. His crooked bottom teeth stick out. His right eye glows, like a burning charcoal from a barbecue.

I can only conclude this is the "real" Cheney, in all its hatefulness, while the left side is the "restrained" Cheney.

There's only one person who's as bad, and that's Rumsfeld. Same deal. Restrained left side. Vulgar right side. I'll try to post a photo.
