WORD SALAD

aloha,
where were we?
"We were afraid they even knew our dreams."
Iraqi citizen about Saddam's spying environment

O BOMBER DOES NOT STOP " PATRIOT ACT" RENEWAL, huge sigh, this is Change We Can Believe In?

GOT SEXT?
elsewhere, thank you Tiger Woods, at least the porn stars and some of the Vegas girls are pretty. this just proves that most athletes, and men,still think with their penises.big whoop...

"APATHY? I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T CARE." from one of the Marx Bros movies

hullo Seaworld..KILLER Whales...
news reports say that killer has spawned 12 pups at $2 mil each as part of their captive breeding program. now along with GOP "TORT REFORM" we know the value and price of human life.

HEALTHCARE REFORM SUMMIT...yeah right.SIGH.

Soul Mate asked me a question i could not answer during this latest hiatus.

WHY DO WE EXPECT THE DIMS TO FIGHT FOR US?
okay FDR,Truman,JFK & LBJ but more recently?
Carter was a member of the Trilateral Commission and Clinton has the approval of Wall Street for his neoliberal policys, remember NAFTA?? and the " GIANT SUCKING SOUND" ROSS PEROT PREDICTED? O BOMBER hasn't really ruffled any feathers among The Elites
and his paltry efforts on FORECLOSURE RELIEF are smaller than fig leafs on King Kong.

how hard have the Dims fought offshoring companies for tax breaks,outsourcing, selling off factories to China and the total destruction of the Middle Class & Unions? hardly a whimper eh? even before the recent Supremes decision the Golden Rule has applied to Dims ( they who have de Gold make da rules). so i am constantly surprised at myself at my disappointment in their performance. my Mom was a Yellow Dog Demcrat but i....still registered Green, for what that's worth.SIGH.

THANK YOU CHARLES FORT FOR GIVING ME A SENSE OF WONDER,MYSTERY AND CRITICAL DISBELIEF...

FRAMES & BUFFERS
a lil something i learned from lefty talk radio.
FRAMES are BS like DEATH PANELS & KILLING GRANDMA... a way of creating a bogus argument from a bogus context. something the GOP is great at and the Dims still seem mystified by.
BUFFERS are distinct ways of handling or dismantling Frames, something O BOMBER is good at but mostly refuses to do. why? the Public Option was never fought for, ditto Medicare For All, instead we have let the greedhead GOP set up the ring, chooose the gloves and referee then set all the odds before the Dims have even gotten out of bed, exhausted from internecine squabbling.

i got more on Iggy Pop,Kettleman City with Erin Brockovich and 'why black men don't smile' but my hands are cramping and i have over 500 emails to scan and answer.
more from me to come...

THANKS PAGANI,u may be right.
CORAL REEF,what did u want to know?

KVETCHING

"Humility is no substitute for a good personality." Fran Liebowitz

aloha, ah life...bear with me.
YES,I REALIZE THAT I HAVE BECOME (ALWAYS BEEN?) ONE OF THOSE GRUMPY GEEZERS WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING.
a few examples...

1. i had a bone density scan recently,since it came out Normal it was deemed MEDICALLY UNNECESSARY...see the CATCH 22 COMING? if i had brittle bones No Charge SIGH.

2. i have diabetes, i inject insulin daily for all the usual reasons. to do this is i need A.Insulin and B.syringes.apparently the rules on both have changed this year.
A.INSULIN now in monthly not trimonthly doses, so they can charge for each month separately.
B. on paper i ran out syringes a week ago today, that is when i ordered AN ONLINE REFILL.i use generic half inch point syringes, no special orders. my local drugstore gets them from some half vast warehouse OVER THE HILL (San Jose et al). one visit by SM and another visit by me got nothing but empty promises over the last seven days.i got a rational clerk and she got my order together in five minutes HUGE SIGH (lucky i trade syringes & meds with friends for just such malarkey).

3.i have low pressure NOW as opposed to many decades of having the opposite, i also have anemia Pretty Seriously.my PCP called mere hours after my blood test last week & mentioned going to the ER if i fell or felt faint again, first time in 7 years for that.hmmmmm...
i gave blood this ayem to narrow down the causes but they are pretty sure my 1 cm hyatal hernia has lead to or joined a bleeding ulcer and they are telling me to prep for surgery SOON. oddly enuff our eldest son Z had an appendectomy is Crescent City last week.he likes The Vicodin, like Dr.House. even tho the crap almost killed me. c'est la vie (or mort)?

4.do we NEED A SANE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ASAP??? just ask THE PARTY OF NO (Hos).

"If I could get my membership back,I'd resign from the human race." Fred Allen (famous radio wit of the World War era)

take care y'all
