ES!

be nice if we had a system like they do in the uk.

eureka!

Hey hey Eureka!

The Docs are probably fed up with the maze of paperwork and the denial of services they recommend…!

Evening Eureka!

Snakes on McCain!

Yoo snake!

Hey ES.

Yup, I can imagine the doctors just shaking their heads as more patients are refused necessary intervention.

is Youtube working for you all? They were down for maintenance earlier.

Yeah. Good here.

ES, was working fine for me just a few minutes ago.

oops didn’t intend to be rude. evening, es *g*

working, nice slow song, and everyone gets shit on.

Just like our health care system.

just like the (formerly known as) middle class

Here’s the deal with doctors, they have all become employees. This has changed their culture and perspective.
The results of this change are a mixed bag.

OT but a Fascinating video from the Britannica Films

Where does our country stand on the scale now after seven years of Bush and Darth (Mr SO)himself!

Are they unionized?

All I know, in my narrow view, is that I’m apprehensive for the future regarding health insurance/health care. Right now I’m ok (municipal employee, union member) but things have got to change, because so many have so little.

I would be happy to Digg this post if someone would submit it.

I am still banned from submitting by Digg.

neuro, I’m with ya — I’ve never successfully submitted a Digg.

It is DUGG!

Thanks. I can Digg it, man.

thanks newton

With my online rep, I’ll be in the same boat as you soon enough. :-)

Doctor, doctor…

I dig you all, and thanks.

grrr, Digg keeps telling me I’m not logged in….so I keep logging in, and it tells me once again that I’m not logged in.

Of more than 2,000 doctors surveyed, 59 percent said they support legislation to establish a national health insurance program, while 32 percent said they opposed it, researchers reported in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

Is it possible that the Hippocratic Oath is kicking in after all these years of the Goopers and their enablers plundering the system?

Docs today have to be seeing patients, in poorer health from lack of maintenance, in exponentially greater numbers.

Digg hates me also. Gonna get me a shovel, and …

When I try to Submit a new post, it lets me get all the way through the process to the point of proving I’m not a human. First, it took away the box with the letters and numbers, so I had to use the audio feed. I had to use headphones in order to understand what they were saying, and it usually took me three or four times to get one right. Then, it started cutting off the audio after three or four characters, so there was no way I could complete the process.

Well, FDL posters can’t say I haven’t tried…*g*

Federal law prohibits physicians from forming their own national union, but they (if not self employed) can join a union if they punch a timeclock for someone else.

These docs joined the teamsters.

Digg is all f*cked up tonight I had tried to digg and when I submitted it the page just sat there spinning it’s wheels. And after giving up on being first I tried to use newton’s link and when I hit digg I didn’t show up… they screwed the pooch tonight… oh well
evening all

Well, they say when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you should do is quit Digging…

Evening nahant
Earlier today I tied to do one and it kept yielding up server errors. Big.Red.Ones.

newt, that sounds ominous…

I’m giving up on Digg tonight. Sorry ES! I really do dig your post! *g*

Yep. Gotta sell my DIGG stock issues and invest in Green Stamps (the only solid currency in the US of A that will hold its value in the coming…)
forget it.

Funny that you mention Green Stamps. For some reason that came up at work the other day; a bunch of us old-timers were remembering how our moms would accumulate those books of stamps.

Blenders, patio furniture, steak knives.
We got our kitchen glasses from the “filling station.”

I am not a big fan of Maureen Dowd, but her column in today’s NYT is worth a read.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04…..=permalink

invest in Green Stamps

Genesis, featuring the brilliant Peter Gabriel…

Dancing with the moonlight knight at 5:20

Yes, newt! We had ourselves quite the collection of juice glasses from the filling stations, and other sundry items.

and 2:50

Huge and respectful disagreement.

About Senator Obama:

His strenuous and inadvertently hilarious efforts to woo working-class folk in Pennsylvania have only made him seem more effete. Keeping his tie firmly in place, he genteelly sipped his pint of Yuengling beer at Sharky’s sports cafe in Latrobe and bowled badly in Altoona. Challenging Obama to a bowl-off, Hillary kindly offered to “spot him two frames.

This is classic shit-shoveling MoDo. She has an ugly soul.

I do remember S&H green stamps and the glasses and mugs from the gas stations!
http://www.archive.org/details/Despotis1946… check out his video!

Please, let’s NOT talk about patio furniture…patio tables, anyway…

my mom liked to go to the places that offered both blue chip stamps and green stamps

Oh, yeah – my bad…
So, anyone seen jayt?

There was still a Greenstamps redemtion center in my home town into the eighties.

Never heard of blue chip stamps.. Must be hoity toity (sp?) California stamps. *g*

Once when I was a kid we went on a cross-country car trip with my father, for whom it was a business trip. My mother went to the trading stamp store and bought all the camping gear we needed with trading stamps she had saved up. It was a great trip.

You gotta just love the French Military

Of course this being ‘Ought Eight”, that was a long freakin time ago.

Holy merde!

I tried to follow your link, but the YouTube wouldn’t play. Said they were performing site maintenance. Then it kicked me clear out of FDL. :(

Clear off the Internet, in fact.

Assholes and elbows gettin the hell out of there!

That would be the canadian military. Harper buys great equipment with my money…

I don’t know if it’s just me but I have had a lot of trouble with FDL this week. Reloading the front page can take twenty minutes if I don’t just give up and reboot my computer.

Like you, as I indicated, I don’t care much for Maureen Dowd. But, what I found interesting in ths column, isn’t what you focused on, which is, frankly, the MODO schtick that aggravates me, but rather, the interesting observation that Hillary is the best thing that ever happened to Obama.

I like this solo from the same album…
Jeez, we’re old.

Rut Ro the toobz is acting up tonight… is that an indication of the NSA f in with us??
I just tried the link and it worked just fine for me… Nero they got your number :>)

I don’t dare click on that…

Well, I have mentioned the unmarked white van that has been parked out in front of my house a couple of nights this week…

You too?
If there is a You tube at the top of the post it takes at least five minutes before I can get to the point where I can THEN click on the comments,which means it has to do it all over again.
Last night when I would try to submit a comment it would boot me back to the main page and I would have to start all over again.
Enough to piss off the pope.

Just a little simple guitar from Steve Hackett…
And I couldn’t load it at first either, so I did a hard-ref and it came right up.

Me three.
I thought it was my damn computer.

Yes, and it’s the only site I have troubles with this week.. I tried to tell RBG, but he didn’t have the same problem.

everyone turn, smile, and wave to the nice nsa monitors

Ah yes, one of the best solo in prog music. Mister Hackett is quite amazing.

Saw Genesis with Gabriel five times.

Are you telling me to bend over? /s

I know part of it is my old laptop, it just hates you tubes on web pages, anybody’s, especially here because they have the animated advertising, which it also hates.
Double whammy.

Someday I’ll get a newer laptop, in the meantime I am just tickled spitless I can get here at all.
8)

i was refering to where the phone lines come into my house is behind so i would turn around and wave

your milage may vary

Just fought my way back here, elbowing my way past the NSA types at the gates.

I’ve also been having problems with FDL lately. Takes a while to load with all the ads, and the digg is ridiculously long to load at the end.

On the NSA front, we have our own little bunch of spies here in Canada, who are getting their first exposition in the news. The politicians approach it dainty, same kind of talk as you’ve been getting in the states… In these times of terrorism, individual liberties are taking a backseat to security. Something tells me Harper is listening to all his opponents, like Cheney does…

The age of the compter has something to do with it. I am fortunate to have access to several computers and the newer they are the better they do here.

You missed a fun fellow I posted a couple of nights back.

I got one for ya,
the stupidest fucking guy on the planet thinks we’re all assholes.

I have a message for him, too.

Disclaimer, serious blogwhore on the second link, you can skip it, lot’s of bad language.

I swear Feith is Gollum reincarnate.

I SO want to see him prosecuted and incarcerated!

Truly, Busted – If you don’t let out, it will eat you up. :-)

Yoo too.

well, mes amis, bonne nuit from Montréal.

Merci ES, merci Suzanne, merci tout le monde.

Dayum, ES, that guy is good…sorry I missed it at the time! Damn 12 hour daywork shifts…(cussing)

Doug Feith can go find himself a nice patio table to get friendly with.

Bonne nuit Q, and bonne anniversaire (sp)

busted, i saw this (over at the treehouse) and immediately thought of you

This is my second favorite youtube of his.

I thought you would like him..)

I doon’t know about yours, but my patio table has this huge, free-standing concrete mount for the umbrella under it.

I broke it.
It says 0%
ROFLMAO!

Bustednuckles, I like your second link.

A lot.

Thank you.
I try not to hold back.

ES, the YouTube isn’t cooperating for me at the moment :-( I gotta get out of here, as it’s late — but I’ll come back in the AM and check it out.

Thanks, I like his sound based on that first vid!

busted, i do have to admit that the tags you use always bring a smile to my face

RBG laughs at ‘em too.

Disclaimer, serious blogwhore on the second link, you can skip it, lot’s of bad language.

I love it !

Busted, that was brilliant…rock on!

busted’s writings are why his place is on my must visit daily no matter what list

Shucks, I’m blushing now.

Rest well LL.

I left you a comment on your site Busted… I do like the way you put things into perspective!!

Thanks ES, I shall :-)

G’night all. Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

I hope CHS reads it..)

busted, honey, now that i gotcha all softened up… smack

didn’t miss that time either

g’nite ll

Thanks guys.
Feith is way up there on my list.
Yoo and Addington too.
Fuckers.

Gnite LL

OW!!
Grumble.

Oh man, she doesn’t need that first thing in the morning!!

i disagree

i think a lot more people need to be reading that first thing in the morning

I like to imagine that very late some dark and stormy night, Darth, Libby, Addington, Yoo, Feith, and Rummy (to pick half a dozen at random) are riding in a van that breaks down in the WRONG part of town–the neighborhood where all their former victims of torture live. And none of them has a dime to call 911.

Agreed.

careful, we don’t want the secret service knocking on (or breaking down) any doors

San Francisco has something special for George W Bush!

The only thing that would make that sweeter was if it were a Ford.

So naturally, they would get beat at a few hands of Hold’em.

I like to imagine a ship full of rats and a broken mast with them all on their way to the Hague.

hahahahaha

*blowing whistle*

back to reality from fantasy land please

My point exactly.

How fitting is that, a sewage plant named after Stupie?
Lol.
Forking hippies have a GREAT sense of humor!

The key word was “imagine”

Did everybody get one of these?
I hate that it’s cafepress, but…

oooh, newton, i want one of those

neuro, i know. tis a path that tends to quickly devolve into violent fantasies….

Sorry. We wouldn’t want that. For plenty of good reasons.

What I was really trying to arrive at was some kind of notion of justice. I will leave that to the courts.

WANT!!
That is going to look awesome on my little British car, everyone will want to know what country that is!
LOL!!!

i totally understand, neuro and thank you for doing likewise.

Well looks like my little escapade today at the Red Sox/Athletics game made the local TV 7 news! While at the game a high foul pop up came my way and in trying to catch the ball it went right on through my hands and hit me right in the nose…. Got a bloody nose and a major bruise on my thumb… I still don’t know which hurts more my nose or my thumb!! And I didn’t get the ball:>( But yeah the Red Sox won 5 to zip!!

Woody!

Noes…
Thumb…
Pride…
somethin’, townie!

I am going to be very nice and tell you I hope you heal quickly and feel better tomorrow, Oh, and I was born in Oakland……..

Wicked!

Ouch! Glad you lived to tell about it. My advice, learn to duck..)

dood, you earned that ball!

Yeah. I just love that cut shaft.

I doon’t know about yours, but my patio table has this huge, free-standing concrete mount for the umbrella under it.

“Patio table” and “mount” in the same sentence will never sound the same again….

hey kirk

Evening Doc!

Hi Doc

That would not have helped it came almost straight down on me and I just reflexively tried to catch it! It was the very first baseball that came my way in all of the games I have been to… Oh well the season is young:< )</p>

Just saw your blog – love it (and the tags!) Our DFH sense of humor has to get up prety early in the wake an’ bake morning to keep up with yours.

(wonder what city will be first to announce the official Doug Feith speedbump: strictly as a comment on IQ, of course)

I know but the B*tch didn’t even offer it to me… the other fans around me gave her a hard time the rest of the game… I had one cutie on the way out after the game tell me that I had taken one for the team (Boston)Dam if I was just a little younger:>)

Who names pot holes?

Hey folks!

Ouch – nahant! That was you? I almost never see games (frightens the rabbit ears) but I was getting a bite to eat and idly watching. OWWW!

spew…. wake and bake… hahahaha i love our dfh lingo

Gawd – when I first moved to SF, I wondered who’d been using the streets for mortar practice. Some of the potholes don’t just have names, they have family trees running to adjacent blocks….

Lol, I remember. The city of no left turns, what’s up with that?

Well I fought the garden today and the garden won.. puppy dog tired and calling it a night here.

G’ nite all… and take care nahant!

g’nite es

nite eureka

Gnite ES, you’ll sleep good tonight.

Good night all you good pups it’s time for me to take my sore nose to bed and hope it feels better in the morning :>)

Err.. without seeking to violate community standards, I can observe that a healthy fantasy life is a sign of a healthy mind. Neuro, ES, and Busted all seem to pass the Late Late Night Not-A-Dr-Frist assessment withe flying cerebral colors.

And newtonusr, loooove that sticker.

Goodnight, ES – thanks for another great late night post!

ice is your friend, nahant – sleep well

busted, you still thinking about getting a maine coon cat?

Oh Suzanne?
For some reason that CussOmeter wouldn’t really look at my Wordpress site.
The old site, however…..

Good night nahant – sleep well.

YEPPERS!
300 smackers for a kitten though, YIKES!

that link just took me to the file in the url page. what % didja get?

take heart…
The last time my whole family went to the Stick, in the 80’s, I missed one and it hit my Mom. It was the only game she ever saw. Nice.
I’d have rather had the face-plant.
nite nahant

Gnite nahant, sorry to hear about the nose, I’ve had mine broke about 8 times, hurts like a bastard!

Off to sleep myself – and busted, I’ve never figured out why SF is so down on left turns. I’d have thoght we’d ban right turns.

And Maine Coons rawk.

Hmm – if any lurkers are about, this thread would be a great way to take a dip in the Lake:

which noxious facility in yout neck of the palnet is most suited te named after Shrubbie?

Around 35.2% of the pages on your website contain cussing.This is 403% MORE than other websites who took this test.

Gnite Kirk. Sleep well.

ouch.. your poor mom…

you can contrast and compare with the #’s trex had accumulated. you beat trex but not thers

I still think that isn’t right. 35%?
Please. In my sleep

I hope he moves his library to the sewage facility! ;-)

hey ct – survived your first day i see :)

PS – Ouch, newtonusr’s mom :(

PPS – Good night, Busted. Good sleep to you also.

My Maine Coons are both 1/2 Coons – deliberately bred their mom withthe neighbor’s Maine Coon. They are plenty active and curious and big (and like water); their little sister is a runt – and they, their mom, and the outdoors kitten I adopted in thwn they were kittens all curl up together on cold nights…

where I’m about to join ‘em.

PPPS – goodnight Suz and lurking mod

PPPPS – goodnight, moon….

Hey Hey!
Great job, Mr. Blogger!
Yer gonna do excellent at Main and Central!

nite kirk

g’nite kirk

Thanks! I only had to type it four times, I finally just pasted the whole thing and e-mailed it to Jo to post… The site just wouldn’t let me post…! 8-(

Aloha, Doc! Thanks Busted!

The more I hear about these cats the more I am convinced I have been missing out on my perfect pet.

Oh that’s nice!

They’d give a bobcat or a lynx a run for the money…!

When I saw it, my question was, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

I hate those moments…

I’m thinking of my mothers Shitzu, he thinks he ’s the shit when it comes to cats.
I can just see flopping down one of those in front of it and the cat saying,
ORly?

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAA.

shitzu – are those the furballs with legs and squashed noses?

Right on the money, Suz!

Yeap, and bugged out crossed eyes too.
Worthless varmint.
They love it though. I ignore the little bastard.

Lunch, anyone…? Hahahahaha…! You’re evil!

token is getting an extreme cut similar to that next week, newton

he is maintaining a very low profile tonight – chased another deer today (when out with next door) and got sentenced to a spell in the punishment room (bathroom).

hardass

Can’t blame a dog for being a dog, regardless of weight class.
Course if he gets his arse kicked, the Vet bills are gonna be substantial…
My bad – shame the little guy!

You should have seen the time I was drunk and grabbed my black pound cat I called Bitch and my mom’s toy poodle, which I hated, and rubbed them nose to nose in the air and then dropped them on the ground, repeatedly.
I was having a blast watchin that cat tear that dog a new one
until Mom caught me.
Ugly.

the deer hooves are bigger than the little guy’s head

Your parents obviously need to get bigger dogs to survive you…! Let alone your cats…! ;-)

I have mellowed with age, I don’t actually torment them anymore.

dare i ask what you have moved on to doing?

I had a Tokay Gecko I used to let truck around my house in Sacramento. Ornery little bastard would actually bark at people. But he climbed straight up walls and I never had to fed him, cause he lunched on critters.
Not a nice pet, but I never saw an ant or a crickette (seasonal affliction out there).

Umm, no.
Lol
I get a kick out of cats, especially cats with attitude.
Thats why I think I am going to get one of those Maine Coons. I don’t think I’d be too smart to mess with one of them, it’d tear ME up!

How big did it get? Awesome colors!

Jayzus!
That’d scare the crap outta ya if that was runnin around and you all of a sudden ran into it!

About 6 inches. Just like this. And it really did bark.
The wimmin weren’t fond of it.

i have yet to meet a woman who liked waking up and finding that on her pillow, newton, barking or not.

I’ve heard of barkin’ spiders but a barkin lizard is a new one.
I never was real fond of cold blooded critters anyway but that thing creeps me out.

It sounds more like cats get a kick out of you!

Sorry for the mental images, Suz.
It had a “keep-away” policy when it came to humans, but it would pop up in the darndest places. Open a kitchen cabinet and “Bark!”

(chuckling and shaking head) cpr certified are ya?

Just to keep ya on your toes, eh?

Feh, something is goin wacky, I keep getting script error messages and it’s bouncing back and forth between tabs.
I’m yawning anyway so I’m gonna call it a night.
Y’all have a good one.

g’nite busted

nite busted

g’nite

that’s it for me too, pups. g’nite all

and then there were two

We could make some trouble…
But no – sleep beckons.
