...Faux news to run one of their clips of other rallies so it looks like somebody cares.
Zorkna vs. tomreedtoon in a mud wrestling match, with Jerry Sprenger as referee?
...how little I care about who replaces Oprah.
The number is supposed to be 20,000.
Left Take set up a Facebook page entitled:
"If Joe Lieberman filibusters health care, I will donate to his opponent"
Over 20,00 have joined so far and have pledged an estimated $1 million.
...the biggest "outie" on the planet.
...before Sarah Palin gets the pie-in-the-face that she so rightly deserves?
[Sorry for the cross-posting, but I'm hoping to inspire someone...]
...before Sarah Palin gets the pie-in-the-face that she so rightly deserves?
I've got to wonder at the ungraceful exit. Instead of using the publicity surrounding his departure as a lead-in to some forward-looking plan (a tactic that Sarah Palin used when she left the governor's office), Dobbs is going to turn up on the unemployment line (figuratively, at least). I think he expected CNN to grovel and misjudged the amount of leverage he thought he had-- how else to explain the bad timing?
My apologies for the spelling error.
How is that "hypocracy?" Did she tape herself getting gay-married?
No, she was filmed having sex with a woman-- herself. :)
Many people who object to gay marriage feel that gays are somehow flaunting their lifestyle choice. She certainly has been flaunting hers!
...if she was "Flogging her book "Still Standing" on the "Today" show this morning," did she use a riding crop?
...is not the sex; it's the sheer hypocracy of someone who vocally objects to gay marriage but films herself in a sexual situation.
I must have missed that strip.
We must be psychically linked somehow...
...if she loses the suit, do they take her fake boobs back? Think "Repo Man" for a minute...
...was a slogan made popular by the "Superman" TV show (a product of the Fifties) rather than by the comic book (which began in the late Thirties).
...Don Martin about this week's strip. And that's a good thing! (BTW: I just discovered that Al Feldstein, who edited "MAD" Magazine for so many years, died in June. R.I.P.)
I honestly don't know if my former cardiologists are affiliated with an outpatient cath lab or not; my cath was in a hospital, it was eight years ago, and I moved away over six years ago.
As I said earlier, I'm not well-versed enough to know whether their opinion (or *any* doctor's opinion) on the issue is credible or even worthy of note. After all, I'm old enough to remember how 4 out of 5 doctors recommended cigarettes.
I received the following e-mail yesterday from my former cardiologists (I have moved out-of-state, away from their practice). I don't think I am equipped with the info necessary to judge the veracity of the position being taken. I am interested in what Salon's readers make of this:
A Letter To Our Patients
The Cardiovascular Group is privileged to provide your cardiovascular care, and we are proud of the high quality services we provide to the Northern Virginia area. However, we are very concerned that proposed Medicare regulations, if implemented, will severely restrict our ability to continue providing all the services you have come to expect from us. Therefore, we are taking the unprecedented step of contacting our patients to alert them to the situation we face.
If implemented as proposed, the 2010 Medicare regulations will force cardiology practices such as ours to reduce services that we can provide in our offices. If these rules are put in place, many cardiology patients will have to go to the hospital to obtain imaging services, rather than having the tests performed in the office to be interpreted by their cardiologist with the results provided quickly back to the patient. Medicare patients will have higher co-pays, and everyone will have longer wait times for tests and results. Many of these new rules are based on incorrect data that the government has used to generate revised reimbursement rates.
We ask that you help protect your access to cardiac care by contacting your legislators in Congress. We urge you to visit www.guardingheartsalliance.org/ where you can learn more about what's at stake for America's cardiac patients. The website makes it easy to email your senators and representatives and ask them to intervene on your behalf with Medicare before it's too late. Only a few weeks remain before Medicare finalizes its regulations, so we hope you will go to www.guardingheartsalliance.org/ as soon as you can.
Cardiovascular disease takes more lives each year than cancer, accidents and diabetes combined. But advances in cardiology during the past 10 years have reduced heart-related deaths and the severity of heart-related illness by 27 percent. That's important, because the urgent need for this lifesaving specialty will increase 60 percent in the next 15 years as baby boomers advance in age and because the current shortage of cardiologists is expected to worsen over that time.
Please help us continue to treat our patients' cardiac disease and ensure that the strides we have made in fighting our country's Number One killer have not been in vain. Please contact your legislators today.
Thank you.
The physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, technicians and staff of The Cardiovascular Group

...there's an old saying that women need a reason to have sex whereas men just need a place.
Surely you mean "...what has transpired." Right?
I wish it was as simple as you make it. My business gets a lot of callers on cell phones inquiring about our hours, etc. and many of them are visiting from out-of-town. As a result, I get lots of calls with Caller ID info that reads "Out of Area" or "Unknown" and/or area codes I don't recognize. Until I answer, I have no way of knowing who is legit.
