Every three months I have to go to my clinic to have blood drawn for various test, including an A1c, which determines my blood glucose level over that period of time. This way, I can adjust some of the medications I take, if necessary. This is an account of my Thursday morning visit.
In the video, I recorded the lab nurse’s handiwork. In the editing application I turned off the actual audio of us talking and dubbed in music and assorted sound effects. In other words, none of the sound is real, but the video is. So is my arm.
There are watershed moments in political history that can be noted at the time those events unfold because of the sheer gravity of the event or words conveyed during the situation. I believe September 2009 is one of those defining moments in American history.
When a REPRESENTATIVE has the AUDACITY to PUBLICLY pronounce her UTTER CONTEMPT for the American People, as New York Congresswoman Louise Slaughter did just recently in a radio interview while speaking with a leftist talk radio show host, it is time for the American People to RISE UP and begin a peaceful revolution against the arrogant, corrutpt, entrenched elitism in Washinton D.C.
Here’s what this so-called representative public official had to say about meeting with the American People concerning the Obamacare socialism proposals Congress was SUPPOSED TO HAVE ALREADY SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS.
“I’m not doing town hall meetings,” elitist Louis Slaughter told Ron Reagan, a leftist radio talk show host. “I’m NOT GOING TO GIVE THOSE PEOPLE A FORUM.”
There is so much WRONG with her statement here, I am totally befuddled as to how these Democrats with such contempt for their constituents keep getting re-elected.
First of all, the Obamacare proposals WILL TRANSFORM OUR ENTIRE NATION into a never-ending financial abyss hole, and ALL of them WILL have a DIRECT IMPACT ON EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA, so why would she NOT want to get input from Americans in her district about these sweeping socialized medicine proposals? She is above all the people who want to have a say in what the Democrats are going to DO to America. Then she has the gall to refer to the American People as “THOSE people,” as if we are NOT like she is. She does have a point, though; we are NOT like this Democrat elitist is – we have R-E-S-P-E-C-T for our fellow American.
I think that if Louis Slaughter is still in office at the conclusion of the 2010 elections, she and her callous indifference to her constituents’ concerns and questions will have ‘won the day’ there. The ONLY people who can effect “change” in New York in 2010 are the people, or the ’sheeple,’ in her district.
“I went through it with the Clinton health care bill, with the John Birch Society, where we had to have police around, and people were hysterically crying,” bemoaned Slaughter.
OK, so she further insults the people of America who oppose Obamacare by trying to infer that the people who oppose Obamacare socialism are somehow akin to the John Birch Society. I would say that this is a bold-face distortion of reality, since I haven’t even heard this group’s name mentioned in the entire health care debate since it began. Have you?
She further insults the people of America who oppose Obamacare by describing police presence needed during ’Hillarycare,’ and complaining that people were “hysterically crying.” I don’t know about you, but I am shaking trying to control my outrage at this woman’s complete contempt for the American People and their concerns (I do plan on contacting her office to thank her for her honest remarks about how she feels about the American People). She seems to be saying, “I don’t want to face constituents who are not going be good ‘sheeple‘ and go follow anything the DNC says to do. I sure wish these pro-socialist policies of elitism could have been shoved down the American Peoples’ throats BEFORE Congress took a vacation.”
“Frankly, to TELL YOU THE TRUTH, my own DIGNITY and the dignity of the office I hold is important to me,” Slaughter continued. “And I KNOW what that (town hall participants) is. It’s NOT A SPONTANEOUS UPRISING of my constituents…I’ve got the best relationship with my constituents ANYBODY COULD EVER IMAGINE,” Slaughter offered.
Can the people of New York in her district be so blind and indifferent to what their leaders are saying and doing? Time will tell…
In reaction to Slaughter’s elitist, callous, and heartless remarks to her constituents, Dick Morris further explained on the Fox News channel what is really going to take place under Obamacare socialism.
“This bill is going to go through the House WITHOUT DEBATE – everyone will be given TWO MINUTES TO DEBATE THE BILL,” Morris, who is a former Clinton advisor, explained. “The committees DIDN’T HOLD HEARINGS on it. There’s BEEN NO PUBLIC HEARINGS on the issue. And then they’re probably going to JAM IT THROUGH THE SENATE; not only WITHOUT DEBATE, but WITHOUT EVEN PERMITTING DEBATE by getting it through on a reconciliation with fifty votes,” further explained Morris.
So, the Democrats will, with NO INPUT FROM REPUBLICANS, NO INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC, NO PUBLIC HEARING, and NO REGARD FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE who do NOT want Nancy Pelosi’s elitist Obamacare socialism, use the ‘nuclear option’ and shove this TRANSFORMATIONAL Canadian-style, massive socialist program down the throats of the American People, anyway. And this is called a Constitutional Republic based upon the Will of the People? I don’t think America voted for THIS kind of “change.”
“So the whole thing is a sort of [an] ELITIST ATTEMPT to EMASCULATE MEDICARE while NOBODY’S LOOKING and nobody can do anything about it,” concluded Mr. Morris.
But, YES WE CAN! do something about it! We CAN stay informed, organize for the Tea Party Express coalition Movement now being formed as we speak, rip up our AARP cards, show up at town hall forums, call, write, e-mail or otherwise contact our Senators and Congressional Representatives and tell them our concerns, give money to worthy organizations and candidates that share our values, tell our friends, co-workers, neighbors, people we meet, and relatives about what’s going on, volunteer for an organization, group or candidate who shares our values, comment, respond or other convey your values to old media and new media, and pray to God and ask Him to help us defeat socialist policies that harm our country.
Dick Morris says that Slaughter blowing off Tea Baggers is just like the “old southern politician.” You can read the text here.
HERE is the clip where you can hear Slaughter’s words of contempt for the American People as she says meeting with them would be beneath the dignity of her and her office.
HERE is Carl Rove explaining on video that Van Jones, White House ‘Greens Jobs Czar,’ is a “fouled-mouthed lunatic.”
Thank you (God knows who YOU are) for helping our country and it’s people by helping to defeat Obamacare, with the ultimate goal of replacing all Democrats and Republicans who vote for such elitist socialist programs such as Obamacare and ‘cap and trade.’
Usually every monday night I download Weeds’ latest episode, and last we week my roomates and I watched it, well they did, and I only watched about half of it. At any rate, I finally took the time to finish the season finale, or a rather lame season of Weeds, all this season on the past season from it was just drama, drama, drama. When before it was weed, drama, weed. I won’t kill the ending for you kids who haven’t seen the last episode, but I suppose its about time to include Shane in the show although he is getting slightly intimidating, so keep an eye on him. What will Season 6 come with? Who knows, it will be another 13 episode season, which I find small. But honestly SOMETHING has to happen I’m sure those of us who have been following the show since the first season need a void filled.
A few years back, I was doing my second stint in Boise after leaving NYC. I decided to move in with my best friend, which you should never ever do, not even in a million years; not even if you are homeless and forced to sleep inside of dead animal carcasses and eat your own toenails. I’m not here to talk about that though; I’m here to tell you a ghost story.
It was a dreary fall evening. Marie, Kyle and I were enjoying one of our many hash nights at the ol’ household, which generally resulted in us taking at least two trips to the grocery store, watching Hitch and playing Mariokart. I’m sure that we did other cool stuff too, I just can’t remember it.
We were sitting around giggling at the walls, imagining what else we could eat and debating on whether or not men’s penises evolved into being flaccid, or if they had always been versatile like they are now. I would imagine that primitive man would constantly be breaking them in half had they been cursed with permanent erections, which is where flaccidity came in. So either they were born with flaccidness, or they evolved into it; I had no argument supporting the speculation that the Cro-Magnon man was born with a constant hard-on, but seeing as how Marie didn’t seem coherent enough to ask, and Kyle’s only contribution was the fact that his penis was the size of a Red Bull can (with pictures to support the claim!), I didn’t dwell on it. Maybe it was a case of the survival of the fittest, and the weak dicks just fell off; creating women. Who knows?! Evolution and creationism are moot points; it all lies in the fault of the penis, as with everything else that happens in my personal life. For the record, if it isn’t already painfully obvious, I hadn’t gotten laid in a while and it was reflecting in my daily conversations. I was about to discuss the original purpose of male nipples, when in my peripherals, I saw a ghostly gleam next to my left shoulder.
I sat completely still, pipe in mouth, thumb on carb. Assessing my priorities, I finished my hit and turned to my friends, “Did you guys see that?!”
Marie slowly looks towards me in a daze and profoundly says, “huh?”
I was more focused now that I had puff-puff-gived and relinquished my responsibility as a group smoker. With more energy this time, I responded, “I just saw a fucking ghost, and I’m not even fucking joking”
Marie froze. “What??!!?!” She’s a little freaked out; prior to this event we had decided that the little closet underneath the stairs in our house was haunted and guaranteed a most slow and painful death to anyone who entered; kind of like Pamela Anderson’s vagina.
I started to comfort Marie when I saw the entity again; “Holy shit! Did you see it that time?!”
Marie jumps on the couch and assumes the fetal position. “Yes, I did.” She looks over at Kyle, wide-eyed, “I seriously did”.
Kyle, who has up until this point been focused intently on a strand of carpet on the opposite side of the room, suddenly realizes that we are addressing him. “What?”
The gleam emerged yet again and was visible by all three of us. I jumped out of my chair and ran to Marie, who was preparing to huddle with me in a frightened embrace. Kyle joined us, alarmed. We all sat there on the couch together and watched the chair for an uneventful ten minutes. My nerves were just starting to calm when, to our horror, the ghost appeared again! I couldn’t be the victim anymore and decided to take action; I got the phone and called my mom.
“Maaam! There’s a ghost in our house and it is scary! It’s right next to the chair and it almost touched me!”
Time passed slowly as my mother pondered this in silence.
“Honey, have you been smoking pot again?” “No mam, of course not,” I said with obvious distaste, “It’s hash.”
Mam was useless against the ghost, which was now emerging more clearly into our living room by the second, threatening our livelihoods. We needed to do something and quick.
Suddenly Marie says “Do you guys smell smoke?”
Kyle and I look at each other and giggled; of course we smell smoke…in fact it may be time for another hit.
Marie rolls her eyes and goes to investigate, stopping first at the table to grab a gummy worm that had been separated from its’ package and placed it in her mouth. Mmm. Gummy worms are the best when high. After her thorough evaluation that included moving the chair that I was sitting on, looking at every possible place around it, and finally inside of it (this is a polyester 70’s recliner type chair), she jumps back and screams, “It’s on fire!!!!!”
We suddenly re-entered reality and realized that when there was the smell of smoke, and actual smoke (which does look very much like a ghost, thankyouverymuch), there was probably a fire. Apparently when taking my last hit, I blew the cherried nug into the chair and the polyester, possibly the worst and most flammable invention ever made, slowly started melting into a smoky abyss.
We start to panic. What could we do?
Well, scratch that, first we laughed our asses off, both in relief that there was no premonition and at the realization of our stupidity. The fact that I had lit a chair on fire and believed that the smoke was an apparition was pretty fucking funny. Definitely one for the “I killed my grandma and ran over a kid in the drive-thru because I was high” commercials.
Anyway, the source of the flame was located inside the disco monstrosity, and we were unable to reach it without taking a knife to it. Although this may have been an improvement to the look, Marie had an emotional attachment to it and wouldn’t allow us to; it is beyond me why she would risk burning our house down to save this sanctuary for bell-bottomed hippies and John Travolta.
After careful assessment, we decided to extinguish the fire with water. We raced to kitchen, filled pans and cups with water and proceeded to drench the chair. Finally, after this 40 year old polyester chair was wetter than Jenna Jameson in a tsunami, the smoke disappeared. We sighed in relief, re-ran what just happened through our heads and laughed. Then we loaded another bowl.
Disco may be dead, but the chair still remains. Even if it does smell slightly like a chimney.
“Gaunt Rainbow” is a separate book related to Matthew Sawyer’s “Pazuzu” Book Series. The book is currently in
development.
The little girl cured of blindness in the third book of the series, “Pazuzu – Abeyance”, returns to life and
grows up in the encampment. Twenty years have passed since the destruction of Capital. The young woman’s nick name is “Rainbow” because of her black wardrobe.
Snippet:
“Pamela squinted at the thin, dark-skinned man. She hoped he recognized the spiteful stare. The
morning sun shone brightly, but Pamela spoke to the man in the shade of ramshackle shacks. They saw each other
in perfect detail. Wrinkles around his mouth deepened. His eyes began to slowly sink into his prominent
skull. Pamela recognized the signs. She was hungry. Pangs never pricked her stomach when she was around
other people. Her body fed parasitically from the man’s life force. He’ll feel famished and exhausted very
soon. Pamela decided to purchase the bike and find some food.”
Saving Grace is a bit raaaandom… it’s funny, but I’m not sure I loved it. It’s about this old lady, called Grace, whose husband dies when he jumps out of an aeroplane without a parachute. You see? Bit random. Quite odd. Anyway, turns out poor Grace’s husband has left behind a TON of debt, and no money to pay it off, so Grace is in a situation. She turns to drug dealing, and everything turns into a mess.
It baffled me a bit. I mean, it’s really hard to understand why you would turn to drugs. I mean yes, Grace was afraid she would lose everything, and I know some people do sell drugs when they’re in financial troubles, because there’s just no other option, but why? You know? Well, I guess I can’t explain what I think, but, you know, it’s just… you know.
And the ending of this is a bit silly. It is a comedy, and a slow one, but the ending’s just silly.
Well, I can’t really explain what I didn’t like about this movie, but I found it unsettling.
Fave character: Nicky, Grace’s drug-partner’s girlfriend. She has a level head. She’s clever.
Fave scene: When the drug-partner, Matthew, finds out Nicky is pregnant. They jump into the sea and swim out to eachother. Nice.
Fave baddie: The hippie! Ha ha! Hysterical!
Fave machine: The machine that looked after the first ‘plant’.
Fave explosion: The hydroponic lights.
Well, looking back on my faves, I guess I kind of have to give this 3/5. I was going to give it 2.5/5, but seeing as I can’t explain what was wrong with it, I leave it there.
Maia Campbell is the #1 trending topic of twitter and the subject of back and forth fodder about what’s really wrong with her.
Is Maia on drugs or suffering from a schizophrenic episode?Either way she needs an Intervention.
It’s hard to tell and we will not know until she gets the help she needs. Whether it’s an intervention or a double dose of schizophrenic meds like Stelazine or Loxapine; bottom line is that this women is in need of some of the right stuff.
