Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!

Can we combine that with a panel on blogger ethics? I think we really need one.
What's Herr Doktor HealthcarePrezident Frist think about this?
Is he still around? Another corrupt republican.
I don't care if it is a 'New' Gingrich. Nobody named Newt can ever be anything but an asshole...or an amphibious lizard.
I haven't read the link yet, but Newtie always resembled a piggie face to me.
Okay, do my duty. Go read.
Ahhhhnold was overheard today, talking about his recent failure at the voting box and his future as governor:
"IT IS NOT A TUUUMOR!"
.
They turned him into a Newt.
He didn't get better.

They turned him into a Newt.

The "Pat" Robertson Deathwatch continues....
Jesus Loves You; Everyone Else Thinks You're An Asshole
And when Newter is the voice of reason in the GOP, you know the party's long gone over a cliff.
Wow that was reasonable
fuck newt
I put a spell on Newt once. Turned him into a --- newt.
What about doctor bloggers?
Is the adulterer/abandoner Gingrich really capable of anything good?
It is long past time to convene a panel on doctor ethics.
Doctors blog?
I wonder if a specialty hospital would have taken in his own wife (#1)?
COCKPUNCH Newt.
.
Congress should insist on hospital ownership rules that allow doctors to invest in specialty hospitals in which they do not practice but that forbid doctors from having ownership in a hospital in which they do practice.
Alternatively Congress should consider establishing a law requiring that specialty hospitals take all the cases in their area of specialization, the difficult and complex (and expensive) as well as the simple and profitable
Aaarrrgghhh.
The man knows just enough to be dangerous.
You don't need to practice in the specialty hospital you own to seriously distort referral patterns. What if you're a general practitioner who owns equity in an orthopedic hospital and refer all your insured orthopedic patients to the specialty hospital and all your uninsured to the local public hospital?
As for the second point...Most specialty hospitals are interventional in nature -- orthopedics, cardiology/cardiac surgery.
The way you keep out the undesirables in those specialties is to not have an ER -- which no specialty hospital does anyway.
So his prescriptions accomplish exactly nothing.
Hecate ...
Could offer some insight into these witches in "The Wizard of Oz?" I think Glinda is a big drag. But the Wicked Witch of the West is a fucking bitch. Can't we have some happy medium?
Who's the Newt cheating on this wife with?
flory,
You must do this health care stuff for a living because you're very wise about it.
Nobody named Newt can ever be anything but an asshole...or an amphibious lizard.
Mouth breathers, all of them.
That friggin' gingerbread man was really distracting. Go technology. Fuck that.
Newt's not my favorite, but jeebus, he seems downright normal compared to today's cong. leaders...as long as he's not talking about a strongly politicized issue, that is.
i agree, flory
When can we call him "shrill?"
res,
What I think I know about the Wizard of Oz is that Baum was really writing about the politics of the time and the move from a gold and silver standard. He really didn't know from witches. That said, the WWW (wicked witch of the west) has plagued a generation of modern witches. Some of us try and reclaim her, some try and discredit her as the ultimate patriarchial example of the uglification of witches. Some of us just want to be able to sky write on our brooms the way she could.
But I will say I give Newt points for recognizing how dangerous specialty hospitals are to our current system of healthcare. Allowed to expand unchecked they will bankrupt our community healthcare systems.
Which is why there's been a moratorium on them.

res ipsa loquitur
No, because this is America the fuckup country of the world, bent on extreme behavior. It's all or nothing. No moderates. And it you try to be moderate, you get painted "extreme" by the right.
just goes to show you, when such guys (D, R, whatever) get out of the politics loop to any extent at all they start to regain some scrap of sanity. Gingrich is after all an intelligent guy, whatever else you can or can't say about him. Tom Delay, on the other hand, will always be a fucking asshole.
Yes, but he's interfering with physicians' god-given right to own exactly what they want and treat exactly whom they choose and no one else!
Isn't he?
Some of us just want to be able to sky write on our brooms the way she could.
Well, yeah. Who wouldn't?

I want to be able to sky write on a broom. I would do some very cool Jenny Holzer-type shit, but I would also do some totally infantile -- but utterly necessary -- sky writing along the lines of "YOU SUCK BIG TIME, MR. PRESIDENT" over 1600 PA Ave.
Wesley Clark and Bill Richardson
Clark/Richardson in '08 would destroy the Republican party.

Dad had moderately high blood pressure, was put on warfarin, which damaged his kidneys. went on dialysist three times a week. Ins. co. was billed 15,000 mo.. He went on vacation for a week & skipped the kidney treatments, feels much better, looks healthier, not sickly at all. After getting off the warfarin kidney fucntion was 28%, dr.'s never rerevaluated, just kept sending him in for blood filtering. There are hundreds of clinics in small towns all over the country that are doing the same friggin thing to thousands of people and collecting tens of thousands of dollars each patient a month from insurance companies and medicare.

Don't believe it. Gingrich spawned the Cheney/Rove junta. He's just weaseling his way back into the mainstream. I say it's a crock of shit, all what he says.
Thanks noblejoanie.

I work on the financial side of the healthcare biz.
And have more than one client scared shitless that Congress is going to lift the moratorium on specialty hospitals and their medical staffs are going to open a competing facility down the street.

Physicians for a National Health Program is a not-for-profit organization of physicians, medical students, and other health care professionals that support a national health insurance (NHI) program.

my head hurts.
Congress recognized years ago that there are certain hazards in situations where there is an economic relationship between a hospital and a doctor. Hospitals that provide economic rewards and incentives to doctors could distort medical decisions. As a result, Congress passed what is known as the Stark anti-kickback legislation to protect the integrity of medical decision making by preventing hospitals from influencing the distribution of patients through economic inducements.
hahahahahahaha
good one, Newt

More librul logic?
Fuzzy numbers?
Or just fuzzy Indiana Jones?
remember, Newt's last great idea (mid 1990's) was to put a laptop into the hands of every American student, K-12.
went nowhere, but too bad that Contract On America plank was never enacted.

Point taken. Maybe Newt owns stock in a generalist hospital?
One time, dressed as her for Halloween, and I ended up flopping in the sack with an Indiana Jones.
And this is why I love Vicki.
In the past 6 months or so, Newt has suddenly reappeared on the radar screen. Whether making speeches or writing op-ed pieces, he's come across as reasonable and calm.
Is he coming back? Like in '08?
. What if you're a general practitioner who owns equity in an orthopedic hospital and refer all your insured orthopedic patients to the specialty hospital and all your uninsured to the local public hospital?
If you're a GP, you'll probably send your uninsureds home with a bag of samples...
Doesn't Newt see the parallels to the private school system and public schools?
BTW:
If you've never read any of the
other Oz books, you're missing

Diane,
Good god, I hope not.
I suspect the's getting press because there are fewer and fewer Republicans one can actually have out in public these days.
Anyone else's Haloscan cookies getting corrupted? My email has shown up strange a couple times tonight.
The American College of Surgeons requires its fellows to swear not to split fees, a practice embraced by lawyers. Seems to me that a primary care provider who's invested in a profit-making specialty hospital to which he/she refers is placing the specialists in a fee-splitting position. The AMA wasn't as upset about fee-splitting. The story's well told in "Medicine, Money and Morals: Physicians' Conflicts of Interest" by Marc Rodwin, a professor at Suffolk U. Law School and a good head. It's an old story, and one which the profession's never quite come to terms with. It gets worse as waves of money overwhelm the levees and the capacity of the sump pumps. The selection of cases, by whatever criteria, is at root of much of the administrative expense and injustice of our dog's breakfast of a health care system, and could be eliminated as both a source of expense and injustice at a stroke by adopting what most of the rest of the world has, a single-payer national insurance scheme.
shycat:
PNHP has been around for awhile. I think I actually went to one of their early conferences, way back in the day.
When the AMA and General Electric, with maybe AARP tossed in, come out in favor of single-payer healthcare, it'll become a reality.
They could be a force for good, providing better health care at lower cost for consumers. Or they could end up distorting the health care system in ways that impose heavier costs on taxpayers.
WTF?!

Anyone else find Atrios commenting on ethics hilarious? Lol.
I have a jones for Indiana.
I'm a big Frank Baum fan. That guy had my kind of politics. For example, here's what he had to say about Injuns:
"The nobility of the Redskin is extinguished; whites are now masters of the American continent. To avoid any more trouble, what is needed is the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Their glory has fled, their spirits broken, their manhood effaced; better that they should die than live the miserable wretches that they are."

Yeah, but Steve, I have walked the Yellow Brick Road many times. It is in Holland, MI. An old resort area where L Frank Baum did most of his writing. THe area is called Castle Park
I saw the eralier discussion re: antidepressants. I will just add my own experience. I suffered from a bout of depression about 10 years ago. With antidepressants and good talk therapy, I got through it. I learned the signs of an onset of it, and how to deal with it. No more need for pills or therapy since.
Don't look now but Newt has been directing the last five years behind the scenes. He is Rumsfield's best friend.
steve,
The whole Oz series was an addiction for me as a kid. I haven't read them in years, though.
The movie with Fairuza Balk is surprisingly good.
I suppose the right needs some sorta plan for health-care, to try and counter what will be a big issues for the dems.

It went okay. There was some uncomfortable shifting in seats as the defender of the war spoke. I listened to what he had to say, but since his line was basically "I did NOT fight for nothing!" it was a bit weird.

Night, Batties. Here's Adrienne Rich:
I know you are reading this poem
late, before leaving your office
of the one intense yellow lamp-spot and the darkening window
in the lassitude of a building faded to quiet
long after rush-hour. I know you are reading this poem
standing up in a bookstore far from the ocean
on a grey day of early spring, faint flakes driven
across the plains' enormous spaces around you.
I know you are reading this poem
in a room where too much has happened for you to bear
where the bedclothes lie in stagnant coils on the bed
and the open valise speaks of flight
but you cannot leave yet. I know you are reading this poem
as the underground train loses momentum and before running
up the stairs
toward a new kind of love
your life has never allowed.
I know you are reading this poem by the light
of the television screen where soundless images jerk and slide
while you wait for the newscast from the intifada.
I know you are reading this poem in a waiting-room
of eyes met and unmeeting, of identity with strangers.
I know you are reading this poem by fluorescent light
in the boredom and fatigue of the young who are counted out,
count themselves out, at too early an age. I know
you are reading this poem through your failing sight, the thick
lens enlarging these letters beyond all meaning yet you read on
because even the alphabet is precious.
I know you are reading this poem as you pace beside the stove
warming milk, a crying child on your shoulder, a book in your
hand
because life is short and you too are thirsty.
I know you are reading this poem which is not in your language
guessing at some words while others keep you reading
and I want to know which words they are.
I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn
between bitterness and hope
turning back once again to the task you cannot refuse.
I know you are reading this poem because there is nothing else
left to read
there where you have landed, stripped as you are.
Fundraising for the DNC proper has fallen like a stone during Chairman Dean's tenure as DNC chairman. Folks are making excuses, saying that Dean needs to get used to the job and crap like that. Yet if McAullife was putting in this dismal of a performance, the same people that are making excuses for Dean would would be calling for his head. Sure, the Kossacks and the fringe left got one of "their own" as Chairman, but so frickin' what? It's not doing the DNC any good! Just goes to show that Joe Trippi was the real brains of that fundraising operation.
If Dean can burn through $50mil while winning exactly one state, one can only wonder what type of damage is he going to do to the DNC coffers. Well, not really wonder. Since we know they're burned through a nice chunk so far and only has less than $7million left.
The DNC will be broke by April
Thanks ProfWombat.
I'm a writer, not a scientist.
It still sounded stupid.
So... They've developed bug-eating locusts that don't eat plants.
Carnivorous locusts - I don't see how *that* could go wrong...
Newt's not my favorite, but jeebus, he seems downright normal compared to today's cong. leaders...as long as he's not talking about a strongly politicized issue, that is.

I haven't forgiven that cocksucker for 1994, the Contract On America and all that other shit!
OK then, onto the cock-a-roaches...

Y'know, it's a shame David Keith is as old as he is, because he'd be a dead ringer for Archie, in the event they made a live-action movie of the comics.

Oh, right. Like that could happen.
Cool eatage though.
ohhhhh, locust cuts through man like 2x4 in tornado.

They were, like, shotgun locusts.

Hm. Or maybe this "Vicki" person is the Designated Babe.
More likely the tragic martyr that launches him on his anti-locust crusade.

I'm guessing that the venture capitalists were... underwhelmed by his business model.
How did I know that Bill Clinton would have a big and welcome role in the Rabin memorial?
"I love him, because he's wonderful
Because, he's just my Bill."
A big nod to P.G. Wodehouse.
I guess the whole "barely having any cash on hand" thing is acceptable to you Dems.
Dean is spending money like an insane person. And he just barely retained two Governor's offices.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with the ethics of the medical profession. There is, yes, sometimes problems with the enforcement of those ethics. The vast majority of physicians are among the most ethical people you'll meet.
There should, however, be a panel convened on the ethics of the hospital owners and administrators. For-profit hospitals like Frist's family business are responsible for much human misery and on the whole have never met an ethical principle that they could live with. IMHO.

You're welcome.
It's nice to know that I have not pimped my cat in vain.

No idea what Fahey was saying, but he sure was angry.
Newt is just smart enough to know which side of his bread is buttered. The big question as usual? Whats in it for him? Are we in store for a Gingrich/Guiliani ticket? The horror.

No, Agatha! Don't!
Run away! Run away!!!
I can understand in a poor country that the only way to build a helth system may be to run it at least initially, on a business-model/user-pays system.

Sheer madness.

Speaking of Masters Of Horror, either later tonight or tomorrow I'm going to check out their version of "Dreams In The Witch-House". Stuart Gordon's HPL adaptations tend to leave me cold tho.

Why didn't they premier that locust
movie at Passover?
Just asking....
I thought tupperware would have been better. And don't forget to burp the lid.
Burping cows is messy. And if there's one thing I've ever learned from David Lynch--besides that dwarves always speak backwards--is that everybody is better wrapped in plastic.

New Rule:
Every mention of Newt Gingrich in the future should include his full title, "Serial Adulterer".
So this post should read:

yes! eat this little child locusts!
Mwaaha hah ah a!

The DNC isn't being run with nearly the malfeasance that characterizes the federal budget.
And fair numbers of those 45 million people are working, or had health insurance and then lost it. They're you, or your neighbor. And they'll cost you money whether you do it the right way, or the wrong way.

Once again.. the fact if that Howard Dean has run the Democrat party into the ground, and they're on the verge of bankruptcy.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF ARKANSAS - $657 cash on hand

This guy looks familiar.
I think they use the same actors in all these movies.
So, who's a better actor, Jeff Fahey, or Dan Cortese?
I've always wondered why they don't combine movies.
Like Dorthy could be skipping through Oz, and then these locust could swarm her and...

Well, it's been six weeks, I can't imagine it's serious (I think wounds heal from the inside out); however, I am wondering if this spot right in the middle of the scar is infected. It's difficult to tell, MsNeff thinks it just looks like a really bad kids cut that has had the scab pulled off (like by a shirt button, or something). Anyway, we've covered it and now I'm drinking Pinot and we're gonna watch Batman Returns on the heavy and expensive tv.

Seems to me, if the DNC knows its funding base, that, especially in election season, it's better off using the money than banking it. Results were pretty good last week. And, again, the DNC deficit is non-existent; the Republicans' federal budget is simply malfeasant.

The Republicans made gains in both states. The combination of Russ Potts and Jerry Kilgore won more votes than Mark Earley. Doug Forrester had a higher percentage than the Republican who ran in 2001.
Maine isn't a concern to me, because their entire delegation is made up of liberals.

In e-mails, consultant claims link to Cornyn
Christian Coalition leader says he influenced effort to shut casinos.
http://www.statesman.com/
metrost...9601410025.html
WASHINGTON -- Former Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed claimed in a 2001 e-mail to a lobbyist that he choreographed John Cornyn's efforts as Texas attorney general to shut down an East Texas Indian tribe's casino.
The lobbyist was Jack Abramoff, who is under federal investigation, along with his partner Michael Scanlon, on allegations of defrauding six Indian tribes of about $80 million from 2001 to 2004. The e-mail, along with about a dozen others, was released last week as part of the investigation.
In 2001, Abramoff was working as a lobbyist for the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana to prevent rival gaming casinos from siphoning off its Texas customers. He paid Reed as a consultant, and Reed lobbied to get the Alabama-Coushatta and Tigua casinos closed in Texas.
In the Nov. 30, 2001, e-mail, Reed told Abramoff that 50 pastors led by Ed Young, of Second Baptist Church in Houston, would meet with Cornyn to urge him to shut down the Alabama-Coushatta tribe's casino near Livingston. He said Young would back up the request in writing.
"We have also choreographed Cornyn's response. The AG will state that the law is clear, talk about how much he wants to avoid repetition of El Paso (where the Tigua casino was) and pledge to take swift action to enforce the law," Reed wrote. "He will also personally hand Ed Young a letter that commits him to take action in Livingston."
Ahh, but Steve, I DAYdream about you, darlin'.

Everyone knows that.
"This locust movie isn't very good."
You actually had expectations?
This locust movie isn't very good.
Frankly, It's boring me.
I should have read a book instead. But I'm here now.

I love that the Abramoff web has got Cornyn stuck in it.
hee hee.
Oh joy, the Little Sociopath(TM) is
here, pretending to be all folksy
and all.
Everyone knows that.
Oh, I forgot.
when you still got them damned sugar ants in the house.
So give Tom DeLay a call.
Patent issued for anti-gravity device

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- The U.S. patent office has reportedly granted a patent for an anti-gravity device -- breaking its rule to reject inventions that defy the laws of physics.

Bush pioneer no doubt.

The greatest dangers arise when doctors have a direct financial interest in a specialty hospital.
Read: Bill Frist, who could've been used as a cautionary tale in this article were Gingrich not a Republican.

You're hooked! You have to see how it turns out!
Where is this locust movie?
On cable?

Sci-Fi Channel.
As of a month only in Alaska, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming do more people approve of Bush than disapprove...
The Georgia/Auburn game is reasonably entertaining. I'm switching back & forth.
The locusts have a swarming defense but I think they're vulnerable to a little play action.

It wasn't a dream! It was a place! And you, and you, and you, and you were there!
Was I too hard on Mulkin?
Oh Bugger...
I'm cable-free, since 2003.

I FUCKING TOLD YOU GUYS YOU NEEDED HELMETS.
helmet on, reynolds triple ply-extra
Wow, the science babe is self-aware enough to wonder why she wasn't eaten.
Ballard likes his leather.

"Military-grade pesticide"?
You're hooked! You have to see how it turns out!
I predict that the best-looking man and the best-looking woman conquer the locusts and go off to have sweaty, dirty, post-locust infestation sex.
But then I'm not really watching the movie.
I love that the Abramoff web has got Cornyn stuck in it.
Like TBogg, I'm against torture, unless we can use it on Cornyn, Rove, and Scooter to find out what they know.
Being a fine patriot, I will volunteer, free of charge, to hook up the battery cables to their testicles. I think 220 volts would do it.

People who believe Bush didn't lie the country into war are dangerously unhinged and out of the American mainstream.
It wasn't a dream! It was a place! And you, and you, and you, and you were
there!

Did you ever see that great commercial
for the second season of TWIN PEAKS
where they did a parody of that?
It was priceless....
Oh, an actual football game.
Instead of the rout I watched this afternoon.
Dammit, Eli!

sadly not hard enuf

Well, they're already a couple, so there's really not a whole lot of will-they-hook-up suspense.
Good thing the locust storyline is so compelling.
"I'm just trying to work this step-by-step"?
What is that supposed to mean?
Dammit, Eli!
I want that Coke back.
So give Tom DeLay a call.
Tom DeLay's in the movie?
Why don't they use the pheromone trap?
Why does the military need super powerful pesticides?
How am I supposed to take a guy named "Colt" seriously?
Tom DeLay's in the movie?
Billions of him.
Thers - Who do you think will win if it comes down to TX/USC?
What are these crazy locust up to?
uh oh UD 66!!!!
.
Bath time until new sheets.
I'm reading the latest George R.R. Martin: "A Feast For Crows." It is DEFINATELY up to snuff so far!

Why does the military need super powerful pesticides?
To kill the poppy bugs in Afghanistan.
Der.
Pesticides wouldn't kill poppies.
Herbicides, however...
.
Thers - Who do you think will win if it comes down to TX/USC?
Texas.
I think Vince Young is unstoppable.
"Give me another option!"
"Have you tried singing them anything from "Phantom of the Opera"?
Well, they're already a couple, so there's really not a whole lot of will-they-hook-up suspense.
Maybe some Nick and Nora Charles banter?
You have to blow him, just like the rest of us.
*That's* what I've been doing wrong.
You know, I blogrolled you a long time ago...
whoooo got a big storm coming at me. Live in one of those reynolds wrap chataue's. luckily it's the only one around and not enough to be a tornado magnet.

Why don't they use the pheromone trap?
I was wondering that too, but I was too busy eating popcorn, and then I got distracted by the whole burning "Why aren't the locusts eating the people in their lair?" question.
The military didn't use this super pesticide on the Afghanistan opium fields because it's dangerous?
Not because you usually don't pesticides that kill bugs to kill plants?
I'm reading the latest George R.R. Martin: "A Feast For Crows." It is DEFINATELY up to snuff so far!
Crap. I haven't even ordered mine yet.
OOOOOH, a clown. I hope the locusts eat him.
Newt Gingrich = gibbering maniac
Look at all the happy smiling people.
They have no idea that their lives are about to change...
FOREVER!!!
Why does the military need super powerful pesticides?
Because the Bugs GASSED THEIR OWN PEOPLE!
Locust enjoy the occasional amusement park.

I'm probably going to have locust nightmares tonight, thanks to you characters.
I must say, however, that you folks are getting really good at this live blogging stuff.
I love this photo caption:
Nearly three out of four Canadians have an unfavorable view of US President George W. Bush, seen here on November 11, and 38 percent consider him more dangerous than Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, according to a new poll.
I think Vince Young is unstoppable.
Most of the time, but he had a hard time against Notre Dame (wasn't it ND?).
Ohhhh, there's eating their eyeballs.
Excellent.
night, moonbats. happy dreams, sex, drug moments, and all the rest to you all.
it's time for dancing.
Pesticides wouldn't kill poppies.
Wait... Poppies aren't bugs?
Did you see that! It was the lead locust!
He had death in his eye.
.
Laaaame.

Ooo! That was awesome!
I'm hot for NTODD!
There, I said it...

God, I love the Canadians
"Military-grade pesticide"?
Eli
Sarin gas?
It's like Hitchcock's "The Birds," only without the suspense, brilliant directing, or cool special effects.
Or Tippi Hedren and her mod outfits.
I had to rewind to see the kid get the locust through the neck again.
oh wait, is it loci?

They didn't play Notre Dame this year.
That was USC that struggled.
Maybe Brownie is in charge of the USDA.

One of t'crossbeam's gone out of skew on the treadle!
The collateral damage will be devastating!!!
Shorter version of tonight's THE
BELTWAY BOYS with Fred Barnes
and Morton Kondracke:
Bush didn't lie!
The Democrats are lying about Bush
and the war!
Barbra Streisand is nuts!
The French have confirmed Bush
didn't lie!
The French riots are being run by
Al-Qaeda! It's a clash of cultures!!
Criticize the war, and you're some
kind of crazy traitor!!!!
Have I left anything out?
Ohhhh, there's eating their eyeballs.
Thers is *what*?
Bad! Bad Thers!
Remember "Land of the Lost"--the Saturday morning show? I always thought the Sleestaks looked like locust.
I'm surprised the sci-fi channel hasn't remade "Night of the Lepus"...
