I’ll bet you’re wondering, where the hell did I get this?

Well it certainly wasn’t from Jumpin’ Jack Flash that’s for sure. Actually, I got this from Ellie Velinska’s Big Bureaucracy’s post about National Wear Red Day...don’t worry, it isn’t for the Communists.
And now that I mention it, both me and my wife wore some sort of red yesterday. Now we know why.

Now here’s a story which is all too common: Canadians coming to the United States for healthcare treatment which, if they waited in Canada, would be waiting for a very long time. Only this Canadian…is the Premier of Newfoundland, eh:

ST. JOHN’S, N.L.—Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.
Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.
“He has gone to a renowned expert in the procedure that he needs to have done,” said Ms. Dunderdale, who will become acting premier while Mr. Williams is away for three to 12 weeks.
“In consultation with his own doctors, he’s decided to go that route.”
Mr. Williams’ decision to leave Canada for the surgery has raised eyebrows over his apparent shunning of Canada’s health-care system.

You don’t say. And yet Президент Оба́ма and the Demo☭rats still insist on taking over healthcare here? Where would this guy go then, eh?

Well folks, I had some acupuncture done on me today for the very first time, although not under the best of circumstances. You see, my back got frakked up again earlier this week. It got real bad yesterday, and I found out that I may have a bulging vertebrae….

These photos, BTW, are courtesy of The Mrs., who had her cell phone with her…and for once, I didn’t! Thank the One True God for her!
After my adjustment today with my chiropractor, it didn’t go well; I couldn’t walk again without excruciating pain. So he asked his practicing partner to take a look at me for his acupuncture procedure. I agreed without hesitation; not only am I NOT against it because it’s Eastern medicine…I really didn’t have much else to choose from.
It took about a half hour, and when he was finished, the excruciating pain was gone, although my legs were very woozy, and still are to some degree. But I am standing much straighter, and I still have to go in on Monday for the MRI.

Well I went back to the eye doctor today and saw a new specialist…one who takes my major medical. Anyhoo, the corneal inflammation has gone way down; he cut back on the Predforte stuff, and no signs of graft rejection.
What! After 25 years??? Turns out that his opinion that my immune system was affected when I had H1N1, and sure enough, the weakest part for me are the eyes. He’s going to take some high-res photos of my eye in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned for those…this guy’s gonna give those to me! Neat-O!

New York City’s Government obviously thinks it’s OK to educate its drug-using segment of the populace on how to shoot up heroin, so that they don’t contract things such as Hepatitis or HIV. And it’s on Our Taxpayer Dollars, no thanks to Президент Оба́ма‘s Stimulus.
Then NYC wonders why the Islamofascists, not to mention the rest of the world, targets them.

Now here’s a model of efficient healthcare, according to Президент Оба́ма...telling Medicare patients they have to cough up the cash if they want to continue using their services.
The private sector isn’t hedging their bets whether Оба́маcare will pass. They’re taking preemptive action. One thing though. I’d be asking how much the Mayo Clinic contributed to the Оба́ма Campaign back in ‘08?

I called my cardiologist this afternoon and got the results, which they received that day also, a little over three weeks later:

Stress: NORMAL!
ECG: NORMAL!

The only thing he recommended is that from this point forward, I have an annual checkup and I’m fine with that. WHEW!

Makes one wonder if they were handing this stuff out at Demo☭rat election rallies:

PALMVIEW, Texas - Президент Бара́к Оба́ма‘s approval rating may be hovering in the 50 percent range, but that doesn’t mean America’s Commander-in-Chief isn’t catching on with new constituents.
There is now a line of Ecstasy pills made in the image of the 44th president of the United States, according to Texas police who have snatched a batch off the streets.
Ecstasy is known for a sense of elation, diminished feelings of fear and anxiety, and ability to induce a sense of intimacy with others.
Perhaps a good Election Day strategy to get out the vote?

The guy the Cops caught also had Homer Simpson Ecstasy pills. D’OH!
And of course, there is a mention at the end of the story that there was no word on the suspect’s political affiliation. That tells me…he is likely a Demo☭rat!

As I sit here eating breakfast, about to head into the shower while The Mrs. sleeps a little bit more, I pray to God that Sen. Joe Lieberman doesn’t whore himself knuckle under like the other moderate Senate Democrats have (Mary Landrieu of Louisiana comes to mind…what a whore she turned out to be!). He’s stating that if the final Senate Оба́маcare bill has “public option” in any form, he will filibuster it and there are 40 Republicans only too happy to join him in it.
Between the Senate and House, there are over 4,000 pages defining health care deform, and that is just. Total. Bulls**t! Joe Lieberman may be a liberal, but he’s honest about it, and I daresay he also knows the score when it comes to health care too. Pray for this man. I certainly will.

Well, I got up at 0800 and started dialing NextCare, they got me over to the local facility and they informed me that my H1N1 swab was POSITIVE.
Barf.
At least I know the result. And I have an appointment with the Doctor at 1330. So I gotta scoot!

Like good little MSM, ABC and NBC refuse to air this ad. So here it is!

I don’t like what Оба́маcare promises for this country. Not one damn bit.
I didn’t enjoy my drive home tonight, in light of what terminology being bandied about by one of “health insurance reform”, Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel, who is the brother of the White House Chief of Staff. He bases the tenets on…and here’s the word!...”Communitarianism”, where medical decisions are made for the Good of the Community.
What that means, folks, is that if you aren’t a contributing member of society as defined by the Government, you will be denied medical treatment. If you have a relative with any physical and/or mental handicap, that person would also be denied medical treatment for the same reason.
And then there’s the proposed logo for Оба́маcare, which incorporates his own campaign logo. If you’re wondering where the last time someone’s own campaign logo was incorporated into a national symbol, just click on the graphic and you’ll soon see. And frak Godwin’s Law! Оба́маcare disturbs me greatly, and if you don’t want to suck from the Giant Government Nipple™, you should be disturned too.

Since Президент Оба́ма is going to hit the airwaves again to push his health care nationalization agenda, a rebuttal is most appropriate:

Call your Congressional Representative and your two Senators, and make sure your voice is heard!

A costly lesson overnight which cost me…time, fortunately, and not money.
I went swimming last night in the pool directly in front of my new digs, which in and of itself was wonderful, even in the 110-degree heat. I popped my contacts out, thinking they’d be OK for 30 minutes out. Not so. I found out these hybrid contacts dehydrate if not put into a solution. Needless to say, I panicked somewhat, dunked them into the aforementioned solution, and kept them out overnight until just now.
Fortunately, this worked. A valuable lesson for anyone who wears these types of contacts.

There are millions of people in the world who suffer from macular degeneration. Now, Pfizer has announced its financial backing for a procedure which may hit the market in six or seven years and promises to cure this affliction…which also happens to utilize embryonic stem cells.
Therein lies the problem.
There will be those who are only too greedy and vain to take that procedure right off the bat. And there will be many others who will reject that same procedure for the very reason it exists. Perhaps Pfizer might also want to take a look at seeing if this can be done with adult stem cells, before bringing this procedure to the market.
