The View Does a Decent Ron Paul Interview; Whilst CNN Airheads are Still Trapped in 2008
Contrast this with News Whore Carol Costello talking about Ron Paul in a 3 minute segment -- http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2011/04/26/exp.nr.talkbackronpaul.cnn.html -- largely devoted to the 2008 media tactic of treating the Paul campaign as an oddity or political freak show. This embarrassing clip shows Costello and another CNN News C**t snickering about Ron Paul in the same fashion Anderson Cooper made his TeaBagger (ball sucking) comments when covering the first Tea Parties in April 2009. What could one expect from a "news" woman who has numerous YouTube videos dedicated to her legs?
The body language in the Costello clip is bizarre. She looks like she just tooted a line or she stayed up all night and took a handfull of amphetamines, the muscles in her neck are tight and drawn, and halfway through the clip she's rubbing her knuckle on her nostril as though attempting to dislodge a bougar.

Veterans Benefit Resource
Many thanks to Tidal Pool for the following:
Veterans Benefit Resource
The below web-sites provide information on Veterans benefits and how to file/ask for the benefits. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA. The majority of this information is free and available for all veterans- the only catch is you have to ask for it as they won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you -- and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests.
