Monday's Missives








  • No matter if you're a fan or hate her guts you'd have to be blind or very dumb to not realize Sarah Palin got savaged by the media in a way that was almost criminal and President Obama got an absolute pass to insure he got into the White House. I mean come on, you have to know that- may even think (or thought) it was the right thing for the country.


  • Music Video Extra Vaganza- Pearl Jam Black live. It's great- take a minute.


  • I have a weird 6th degree of separation from Eddy Vedder.


  • I'll never tell.


  • Really- to both.


  • Headline: "Obama unveils revised 1 trillion dollar health plan. " Call me crazy, but we're broke, drowning in debts our grandchildren will have to pay off and I just can't get past that 1 trillion dollar figure. Where did that number come from anyway? Was it invented for lunatic politicians?


  • Why don't we just say 87 eleventy bazillion 20 teen thousand million?


  • Really, really cool- Werner Herzog reads Where's Waldo? Take two minutes and give this gem a chance.

  • Odd feeling of d'e'ja vu at a recent patients home. It was so deep and overwhelming it was nearly troubling. Took me a while, but I realized had looked at same house years ago while considering its purchase.
  • Patient last nights family: five smokers, five cats and five dogs.
  • The Rule Of Fives- the sure way to promote misery and agony in your nurse.

The left-wing media went all-out to attack the right and assure victory for the left. No doubt about it.

* The media was harshly biased in their coverage of Palin to such a degree it verged on cruelty.

I liked Palin when she first entered the national political scene. My like for her quickly evaporated when I realized, Palin is none too bright, thinks nothing of pimping her VERY YOUNG children for politics and eagerly ditched her sworn duty as Alaska' governor for the opportunity to make $12 MILLION. I always thought Palin was a poor choice for VP especially since she had no more experience than Obama and, as a 44 yr-old woman, had the same success with dealing with birth control as her 16 year old daughter.

* The US being broke is just the tip of the shite pile of reasons why ObamaCare is insanity. In the attempt to provide health insurance for 30 million people, ObamaCare screws with the health insurance of 300 MILLION, 80% of whom are satisfied with their health insurance. ObamaCare increases the cost of ALL health insurance which is one reason you did not hear any gritching from health insurers. ObamaCare will ASSURE, just like in Canada, France and Britain, only the very wealthy will be able to receive excellent health care by self-paying for their care.

* Just to let you know how much is a trillion.

A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

I know people who have lived for 31 years so I can honestly understand being able to repay a several billion dollar debt. I do not know ANYONE much less 13 people who have lived 31,688 years.

op- You're right.

MZ- Very, very good analogy. One thing I always seem to have to remind people that I hate having to after saying something like that about Palin- was a fan, for about 5 minutes. Either way, doesn't make her treatment right or fair to the political process.
