We've heard all about Obama's $100 million dollar vacations, but not much about KY Senator Rand Paul's summer break.He and a partner teamed up to do pro-bono eye surgeries for the poor.People who came to the surgery center "legally blind or much worse" were all seeing before they left.Isn't it interesting what the media considers newsworthy?Wonder why the media isn't interested in that? Guess it doesn't fit the image they try to create for conservatives. Let's help spread the word.

Oh my God. Oh my God."

Those are Cynthia Burke's first words after Senator Rand Paul, an ophthalmologist, completes her eye surgery, removing the cataract in her right eye. Lying down in the operation room, Burke, a 55-year-old woman from the Ozarks town of Fredericktown, Mo., looks up. Standing above her are Paul and another ophthalmologist, Barbara Bowers, both dressed in blue scrubs.

Because of her cataracts, Burke hadn't been able to perceive much color, and couldn't see at all in her right eye when there wasn't natural light. But now, with the surgery just completed, Burke's sight is already hugely improved. "You have on blue clothes," Burke marvels.

Paul, who just moments ago was bent over Burke, looking through a microscope at her eye as he methodically and precisely moved needles and tools to remove the cataract, laughs happily. "You're seeing colors again," he warmly observes.

"Now you'll recognize him on TV," Bowers jokes to Burke about Paul.

"Oh my God," Burke repeats. "It's awesome. Oh my goodness."

Burke is one of four patients that Paul performs pro bono eye surgery on today. In recent years, Paul has done between 10 and 15 eye surgeries a year for free. "I've always done some since I've been in practice," he recounts. In 1995, Paul founded the Southern Kentucky Lions Eye Clinic, which provided free eye care for low-income people, "because I wanted to be able to give back to the community." He did free operations for locals and also for children who had come all the way from Guatemala.

Paul estimates he has done over a hundred pro bono surgeries over the years. In the health-care debate, he remarks, it was overlooked how many doctors already perform free surgeries for those in need. Performing surgery pro bono, Paul insists, "is not unusual for physicians. Read more via NRO

PAT DOLLARD YOUNG AMERICANS 11 Hours Ago Bloomberg to Air Gun Control Ad During Superbowl Feb 2, 2013Toro520 Via The Associated Press: NEW YORK (Associated Press) – A gun control group founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is airing a Super Bowl advertisement calling for background checks. The 30-second spot by Mayors Against Illegal Guns will air in the Washington area during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The ad calls on lawmakers to pass rules requiring background checks on guns. It is narrated by children, with “America the Beautiful” playing in the background. It includes decades-old footage of National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre saying the gun lobby group approves of the checks. LaPierre recently testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the NRA no longer supports background checks for all gun sales. A Bloomsberg spokesman would say only that the ad cost in the six-figure range....
