Looking up also means they are in the process of constructing a lie

(36,274 posts)in ancient India (IIRC, it may have been elsewhere) if several men were accused of a serious crime, each was given a handful of undercooked rice to chew, then spit out -- the man whose rice was dry (so the story went) was taken to be guilty.
May be nothing but a legend ...

(2,391 posts)I don't know if that's right. I didn't count, but it was like he was grabbing for a life preserver. 24 times in 90 minutes is very noticeable on a split screen.

(18 posts)I was half way expecting to see half way thru the debate Ryan raising both waving arms asking to be excused for an emergency, anti-accident, dash to the little boys room. He did look a bit distressed, over his head, and under water by the end. Nice going Joe!

(34,195 posts)Right wing media complaining about Biden's behavior, interrupting, etc.
But They loved Rmoney's dominance and interrupting of Obama.
Typical of them, with their double standard.

(27,711 posts)I wanted to break Paul Ryan's nose after watching that un-patriotic lie fest (most especially after this moment):
(CROSSTALK)
BIDEN: That's right, because that's the Afghan responsibility. We've trained them.
RYAN: Not in the east.
RADDATZ: Let's move -- let's move to another war.
BIDEN: Not in the east?
RYAN: R.C. East -- R.C. East...
BIDEN: R.C. East is the most dangerous place in the world.
RYAN: That's right. That's why we don't want to send fewer people to the...
BIDEN: That's -- that's why we should send Americans in to do the job, instead of the -- you'd rather Americans be going in doing the job instead of the trainees?
RYAN: No. We are already sending Americans to do the job, but fewer of them. That's the whole problem.
BIDEN: That's right. We're sending in more Afghans to do the job, Afghans to do the job.

(30,058 posts)I guess he did not think Biden should have used his experience. Like a 15 year old picking a fight with a 5 year old. The GOP are always whining.

(10,496 posts)would shame the old Soviet Union's media! 6 corporations own 90% of all U.S. media! General Electric is primarily a defense contractor. Why do you think they bought a network, I wonder? Here is the state of media in the U.S., BP runs these "Come on down to the coast" commercials 24/7 on all coastal TV, radio, and ads in newsprint making them the single largest purchaser of advertising on the coast since the Gulf oil spill. None of them dare to tell the truth of what is happening down here for fear of losing that money. I have personally experienced this numerous times since the spill and I travel from Texas to Key West every 8 weeks. That is how the free market in America works! These are our airwaves! Lets occupy to bust them up!
