The woman who “can leave her body at will”. “…strange brain activity involved in out-of-body experiences.” Oddly enough, no brain activity is involved in politicians’ out-of-mind experiences. (Did we say “oddly”?)

"What difference does it make?" (An un-wise, non-Latina)
I don't know if most liberals can leave their bodies at will, but they sure can lie about it.
They are very adept at losing their minds.
I'm sure BO can do this at will, also,(because he's better at everything than anyone else). Maybe this is what he was doing the night of Benghazi; disincorporating so as to get a better view of the Big Picture.
Do you remember when they claimed that Dumbo liked Urdu poetry?
I still laugh at that.
I, too, have a talent that I didn't know was unusual. I can control my heartbeat. I didn't know this was unusual until I had some heart issues in my 40s and did a stress echocardiogram. (Turned out I was having indigestion, but that's another story.) At one point a nurse was trying to get my resting rate, before I stepped onto the treadmill, and I asked her what she wanted my resting rate to be. She said something like, "Well, ideally..." and I promptly made my heart rate match her "ideal." I could see the machine with my heart rate over my head, so it was easy. So she tested me by asking for something really low, like 50 beats per minute. I quickly did it. She looked at me like I was a freak, or one of the X-Men. Until that moment, I didn't realize most people can't consciously control heart rate.
I love differences like this. Here's a fun one: at a party ask everybody how they visualize days of the week and calendars. The vast majority of us visualize some kind of linear representation of time. A week of days marching into the future one after another, maybe a month looking like a wall calendar, etc. But in any crowd of sufficient size there's bound to be one person who visualizes wheels within wheels: a wheel of seven days rolling around in a month wheel of 31 days rolling around in a year wheel of 12 months rolling around in a century wheel of 100 years... How cool is that? Anybody here think of time in terms of wheels?
I think of it as linear. But to me, the future is to the left and the past is to the right, which I have been told is backward. Since time is a construct, I don't see how any personal representation can be wrong. but that's what they say.
Not wheels but I saw an article where people see specific colors for each day of the week.
I'm retired. I don't know what day of the week it is.
I'm more a 7 little squares across and 5 rows down, repeat as required kind of visualizer. I do use the wheel thingy (a clock) in my mind's eye when thinking about time of day and when thinking about twelve months of a year with September occupying the uppermost position and February at the six-o-clock. So I'm using a subconsciously generated hybrid that tends to supply numeric representations in my mind's calculator and punch card reader as well as rectangular graphics and circles in various ways. Yes, I am not excessively complicating anything. Ever.
Your wheel concept sounds like the Mayan calendar.
the problem with politicians was their brains left their bodies once they became career politicians (aka: self absorbed thief's and liars) what they can do is have your tax dollar leave you at any given time, but no one really knows where it goes.
It is called a Lobotomy, they get that right after the get elected, and then they get a the spine removed. Then you have a senator or house member who is a drooling fool and just follows orders from someone like Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, who have both undergone a successful double lobotomy...
You mean a LObamamy?
Or would that be a LObamatomy?
