See, another guy gets "it" from TPM, "Now, the administration hasn't responded to this report yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the spin: an increase in attacks is good news because it shows the enemy lashing out in desperation. We've got 'em on the run.
Of course, if the number of attacks had dropped considerably this, too, would be good news, because it would be proof that the administration's policies were having a positive effect.
And of the number of attacks had stayed the same, this would also be good news, because a leveling off would reflect a "cooling" period, harkening a new period of stability after growing tensions throughout 2007.
That's the fun thing about listening to the White House -- the president's policy always right, facts be damned.

Actually, men over fifty are encouraged to get them on a regular basis.

I didn't realize that "merkin" is an actual word as opposed to a corruption of "American".
The things one learns here.
merkin
"female pudenda," 1535, apparently a variant of malkin (q.v.) in its sense of "mop." Meaning "artificial vagina or 'counterfeit hair for a woman's privy parts' " is attested from 1617. According to "The Oxford Companion to the Body," the custom of wearing merkins dates from c.1450, was associated with prostitutes, and was to disguise either pubic hair shaved off to exterminate body lice or evidence of venereal disease.
Merkin
Malkin.

It's a date, Steve! Should be fun...I understand the music down there is quite good.
Virtual colonoscopy (also called CT colonography) is making pretty good strides.
Hopefully the costs will come down in the next few years and insurance companies will support its regular use. (And hopefully we'll have universal health care in the future so everyone can benefit.)

In 87, Lesley Stahl gave an interview in which she admitted that it was an open secret in the press that Reagan had been senile for the entire second term, and at least part of the first, but that they wouldn't write about it because the American public didn't want to hear anything bad said about that poor nice old man.
For real. I forgot where she said it originally, but it's cited in Paul Slansky's "The Clothes Have No Emperor," the definitive secret history of the 80s.

Husband melted down(seperated); he filed bankruptcy, lost job, and admitted to being a gambling addict, only because he is allergic to alcohol.
After a year of many different drugs being fed to him, he got off of them.
The only way his family and I could describe to him his behavior while medicated was to have him watch a Bush speech. (Notice how he seems to have just been fitted with false teeth?)
Going through this and the stupid addictive behavior in a president has been trying to say the least.

Ah, another great RealClimate resource:
RC Wiki
This site is a supplement to the RealClimate.org website.
It is primarily an index for debunking of various popular media occurrences of climate-related nonsense. Articles are sorted by where they appear (outlet and country), or alphabetically by author. Under each article you will find links to rebuttals of specific arguments and overall critiques of the pieces. This is by no means comprehensive, but should provide a starting point for those interested in seeing why these pieces are wrong. We do not include mainstream journalist pieces that are occasionally mistaken or somewhat sensationalist (see the main website for that kind of commentary), but we do include the op-ed pieces that are specifically designed to confuse, obfuscate and abuse the science.

"Gore sees no reason to apologize for not wanting to jump into the electoral fray. As a businessman, he can speak with a candor few successful politicians can maintain. He has made an enormous amount of money and achieved positions of influence from technology to financial services to media. He and Tipper are even setting themselves up as angel investors for a few early-stage tech companies they believe in. In doing one end run after another around the status quo, he has created a new life: a perfect amalgam of environmental activism and a new type of capitalism in which there is more than one bottom line to consider, more than one master to serve."

RAF MILDENHALL, England — For the second time in less than a week, NATO air forces scrambled fighter jets on Friday in response to Russian aircraft straying toward — and allegedly into — British airspace.
Officials from Norway and Britain confirmed Friday they dispatched fighter jets four days after a contingent of Norwegian F-16s and British Tornados shadowed a set of Russian aircraft traveling toward British airspace.
Russian officials, meanwhile, denied the incident, which occurred amid the escalation of the diplomatic row between the United Kingdom and Russia over the extradition of a high-profile Russian murder suspect.

This was no colonoscopy. This was an attempted recto-cranial reversotomy using advanced microsurgical techniques.
But they were forced to close the patient right up again when they determined that the patient's circulatory system terminated at eyeball-level, with no blood supply to support what remained of the cranium.
Plus, they had problems telling the cranium from the polyps.

It'd knock the sons of bitches onto their collective asses - and knock out the last possibility that the Shrubbery could attack Iran. The only way they could hope to survive would be to end the illegal war against Iraq.

According to the study, “since the U.S. military invaded Iraq in 2003, its ’show of force’ brand has proved to have limited appeal to Iraqi consumers” and “a more attractive brand for the Iraqi people might have been ‘We will help you.’”
I thought our brand was "Whatever Bush Touches, Turns to Shit".
"not officially but the Navy is scared shitless about those anti ship missiles, there is no defense.
1Watt, Hermit"
No doubt. I keep waiting for either Russia or China to really step in simply to protect one of their markets.
And seemingly now, to tweak our noses.
Problem I see, for us and them, is the POTUS is insane and unpredictable.
what's up Dubya's ass, besides, of course, Cheney's hand.
Roger Bixley
perfect comment! you win,Roger, nothing to add to this quote!
ATTENTION Daily Show, Colbert and late shows writers, we give it to you free!
I thought our brand was "Whatever Bush Touches, Turns to Shit".
"US Military: Fucking up Other Countries for 100 Years!"
Russian officials, meanwhile, denied the incident, which occurred amid the escalation of the diplomatic row between the United Kingdom and Russia over the extradition of a high-profile Russian murder suspect.

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of bullshit that will start a war. Some pilot gets an itchy trigger finger, and we all go kaboom. Lovely.
Yearn for the health and safety of George W. Bush until Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009.
An untimely demise would mean lots of shit going down in his vaunted memory under the auspices of President Dick Cheney.*
*Under the 22nd amendment Cheney would still qualify for a full two terms--though, like I said ealier, he's no front man, too despised to pull off electoral victory...not without massive fraud...so...he might make it after all.
plum-- I have a friend who just canceled a trip to bring her two daughters-- 7 and 9 years old-- down to the states to meet her mother. The kids' passports didn't come in in time.
Moe Szyslak
the bastards!!! Blame Cheney and Bush, enuff said!

Results of the President's colonoscopy just in: GEORGE BUSH IS STILL AN ASSHOLE!
I hate to say it, but it's a shame Chimpy couldn't CATCH what Pony Blow has.
The world would be a better place without them both.
Okay....flame away.
You forgot Cheney.
Several other Canadians and I have a pool going as to how much of the five years on the passport will be left by the time we receive ours. My application for renewal - -renewal- mind you - went in in February....
Is it okay to say that I hope it's too uncomfortable to sit down for awhile?
Or would THAT displease the Pollyanna Contingent, too?
"Yeah, that's exactly the kind of bullshit that will start a war. Some pilot gets an itchy trigger finger, and we all go kaboom. Lovely."
I am not sure if that will happen that easily. This has been happening for many decades. I am more concerned about the politicians.

AP headline:
Bush reclaims powers from Cheney after colonoscopy
Who knew that's all it took. One thrust up the ass and he's a new man. Bring on Jimmy Jeff. W will be a new man every day.
"Yeah, that's exactly the kind of bullshit that will start a war. Some pilot gets an itchy trigger finger, and we all go kaboom. Lovely."
Russians shot down a few of our planes during the Cold War, and it was sort of blown off . . . and there was that KAL 007 thing . . . but for the most part that kind of thing only happens in book (like "Alas, Babylon").
I said I was going to get flamed for it....and I KNEW from who.
Whatever. Toss your hate and anger around all you want. You don't get it, and it's pretty apparent that either you don't want to get it or you're incapable of getting it, so have at it.
As I said, comments like that are precisely the type of comments that O'Reilly and the others use to make their points about the vitriol on the left.

Bush reclaims powers from Cheney after colonoscopy
"C'mon over, Karl!"
Heh.
I was just checking out these stills from "Indecision 2000".
Colbert looks very young and thin.
Jeepers, Cheney's on right now, looking quire serious and talking about unforseen complications and uncertain prognosis for Bush's ever regaining conciousness. I guess this is it...
Nah, I'm kidding. Right?
I am not sure if that will happen that easily. This has been happening for many decades. I am more concerned about the politicians.
EkCenTriK | 07.21.07 - 11:54 am | #
I guess that's what I meant. The reaction by the politicians to any incident is what's scary. Putin's a cold-blooded killer, and Britain' gone really paranoid these days. We've gotta certified looney officially on the button, and a evil shadow emperor egging him on.
That's how I envision the kaboom scenario being all to possible.
The only reason I'm watching O'Reilly is because I'm looking for an excuse to hate liberals, so it really doesn't matter what y'all say, cos I'm gonna hate you anyway.
Frickin' Guiliani!
Asked about increasing federal support for HIV medications, Giuliani discussed what he considers appropriate federal responsibility in health care. "I don't want to promise you the federal government will take over the role," he said, drawing applause and shouts of "all right."
He continued, "My general experience has been that the federal government works best when it helps and assists and encourages and sets guidelines… on a state-by-state, locality-by-locality basis. It's no different from the way I look at homeland security. Maybe having been mayor of the city, I know that your first defense against terrorist attack is that local police station, or that local firehouse."
Guiliani: 9/11 24/7
Are you going to finish it by tonight?
Did you wait in line?
Buckeye
maybe and yes!
I "borrowed" my 8 years old godchild to have an excuse to go to the bookstore last night at midnight. I had prepaid (excellent idea) so i had it 20 minutes later. Went to sleep at 3:30, woke up at 11:30. Checking with my mates here, and i'll read it all until i go to this exhibit sunday morning.

"
Bush reclaims powers from Cheney after colonoscopy"
Carefully sitting down at his desk in the Oval Office, Bush asks "Dick, did something happen? The Football is on the desk and open? Seriously, anything I should know?"
and told the doctor when to make his turns.
Gives a whole new meaning to the term backseat driver.

Okay, how about such hate is unamerican.

Itchy trigger fingers and war go together like Serbia and Yugoslavia, or Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The guy who invited Osama bin Laden to attack San Franciso. Scumbag traitor.
Guiliani's Intellect on Display:
In an extended analogy, Giuliani likened the cost of health care to the price of TVs in the early 1950s -- prices were high because the marketplace was small. With a larger marketplace prices of TVs have gone down and quality has improved with advancing technology. "It happened because there was a free market,"
RE-TARD-ED.

Yeah, don't ya just love that?
He had to protect the public morality...while setting such a GREAT example of marital fidelity.
I mean, he had SUCH concern for the feelings of his wife and children.

the american dollar hasn't been this weak since 1976 and canadian dollar so strong. (blame Bush of course). So for the first time in ages, canadian tourism in america would have gone up, meaning good for the economy on the US side. But canadians can't get their passport soon enough to go spend cash to improve the american economy! Your govment is so so so so so damn stupid.
Uncle Smokes, please head over to PowerPop and try to talk some sense into that wanker Steve Simels.
The Kenosha Kid
I wouldn't deign to do so...the Zappa thing is by now an old contention between us. I did leave a brief, if somewhat snarky statement.
From the supermarket checkout line:
The Globe (tabloid) cover this week says Bush has had a heart attack (that is being covered up) due to the pressure of Iraq, his forthcoming divorce from his wife, and his heavy drinking.
After two colonoscopies, both of which were optional for 'conscious sedation', unless there is something really wrong with GW's lower gut, there is no reason for multiple hours to pass with the President being disabled. Twenty min. is the standard length of the exam.
Okay, how about such hate is unamerican.
Thank you, Snow.
With that, I'm off to something called "Appliance Smart".
Later!

It's calling cutting off one's nose to spite one's face, I believe.
I'm driving through New England next week, on my way to Toronto. Figure we'll save on gas, if nothing else.
With a larger marketplace prices of TVs have gone down and quality has improved with advancing technology. "It happened because there was a free market,"
That's why medical costs have risen @ twice the rate of inflation, right?

I know that your first defense against terrorist attack is that local police station, or that local firehouse."
Then why did you take away their brass poles, Rudy?
Guiliani:
"We don't want socialized medicine. Maybe you should go see 'Sicko,' see if you agree with Michael Moore that we should have the Cuban health care system. That's where the Democrats are taking us… All the places that have government-run health care, it's inferior to us. We've got to preserve our private system. People will have to earn some of that access. Let's not become a nanny state. You don't help somebody when you make them dependent. You make it within their realm to do it, but give them a chance to earn it. The system gets destroyed when you start making big promises."
All these arguments can be used against the Repugs efforts to establish a Dominatrix State.
"the federal government works best when it helps and assists and encourages and sets guidelines… on a state-by-state, locality-by-locality basis."
Did I say that?
After two colonoscopies, both of which were optional for 'conscious sedation', unless there is something really wrong with GW's lower gut, there is no reason for multiple hours to pass with the President being disabled. Twenty min. is the standard length of the exam.
He'd have to come out of whatever he was under--though, given he's probably under something all the goddamn time it shouldn't make a difference.
I don't know that I'd wish cancer on Chimpy and Snarly, but the world WOULD certainly be a better place without them.

I had a colonoscopy last year. The worst part was the day before, having to fast and purge.
The procedure itself was nothing much - I was drugged up for about 2 hours.
I get it that he has to transfer powers, but why make such a big deal out of it? A couple of hours? Or is Shrubby so weak aboiut enduring discomfort he needed to be put down for a day?
I am pleased at imagining him going through the bowle-purging experience, though.

No he doesn't. Only in the rarefied air of cable news land. What's he get, maybe 2-3 million viewers? That's less than 1% of the population. If he were on a real network, he'd have been cancelled long ago. I'm not arguing in favor of hatred, but being afraid to say something because O'Reilly will use it against me? Forget it.
After two colonoscopies, both of which were optional for 'conscious sedation', unless there is something really wrong with GW's lower gut, there is no reason for multiple hours to pass with the President being disabled. Twenty min. is the standard length of the exam.
Most hospitals will not do the procedure unless there is someone to drive (and or escort) you home in attendance.
Waiting a couple of hours for the medication to clear is reasonable.

What good does that constant craving to hate do for you, exactly?
I could not care less if you think I'm a Pollyanna or whatever, but I am not gonna waste my energy wishing, in a public forum, death to Bush via cancer.
This may sound simplistic, but work toward finding a solution instead of always being angry and wishing for something that probably isn't going to happen within your timeframe.
How could Bush have a heart attack when he hasn't got anything resembling a heart?
"but why make such a big deal out of it? A couple of hours? "
Uh ... Dick Cheney
Clinton cut our military budget by enormous amounts in the 1990s,
As did Reagan and Bush. Sorry, but that is true. I served under all three of them.
and it left us in a position where we can't face the dangers we're facing right now."
That sentence is inconsistent. If we are facing a danger, then it cannot be true that we are unable to face that danger.
PlumP, the tabloids are essential reading when one stands on a cash line.

Sorry I offended you!
Guiliani's Health Care Plan: Pony up biaatch, you're on your own.
Giuliani's health-care plan is firmly based in the private sector. He proposes a $15,000 tax exemption for individual health insurance. "If you can find it cheaper, you can keep the difference." He said with 50 million to 100 million Americans participating, this would create a marketplace for affordable individual plans: "Lots of people would buy private health insurance if it was as attractive as employer plans." All plans would have to have some co-payment, to encourage people to make choices about their care.
No clue, or lying, or both.
Don't Canadian citizens get passports from the Canadian govt? Or are you talking about visas? Canadians don't need visas to visit the US do they? What am I missing here?
Tralfaz
Congress voted a couple of years ago that your friendly canadian neighbors need a passport now to enter your country because we might be nasty terrrrorrrists. The law came in effect in march. So since then, we need a passport to get in. Huge backlog at the canadian passport offices. A big mess.
They're through scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Now they're thinking of moving the barrel and collecting the stuff underneath.

No the ideal is to have Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Perle, Lieberman and the rest manually dig the graves with shovels for the 20 newly killed US soldiers each week. If one of them should have a heart attack or stroke while digging, I would say it's God's will.

How could Bush have a heart attack when he hasn't got anything resembling a heart?
Bush had heart surgery when he was a child (a fact that never was discussed during 2004 election), and has some condition. That's why his pulse rate is so low, and why he fell over "choking on a preztel".

He's nuts. Our "attractive" employer plan costs us almost $500/month per individual (which cost we eat), a family plan is closer to $1400 (the employee has to come up with the $900/month difference between the two).

There were not "cuts," merely a return to normal (and still high) levels of spending after the Reagan-era splurge.
We maintained our Cold War posture, searching for a new justification, and paradoxically generating the blowback that would bring the new justification.

Thomas Jefferson realized that the commonweal might very well hinge on whether the median voter knew enough about Kirstie Alley's eating disorders.

That's a sizable audience. More of an audience than you have, I'm guessing.
Perhaps I'm failing at making this point, so I'm going to try to be as concise as possible.
What he does, what all the righties do, is toss out trial balloons with regard to their talking points to see if what they're saying will fly like a bird or tank like a submarine. I pay attention to this, and I can tell you that I've heard this meme trotted out on several GOP shows - they're trying to get traction with the spin that the Democrat (sic) Party is the party of hate and vitriol.
Why give them fuel for their fire?
Why would anyone here want to lower themselves to the likes of the freepers, or LGF?
From my perspective, taking the high road when it comes to politics is what I want to do, because it makes me feel better about it. Any other topic, I could not care less. However, my one fear is that this country has sunk too low for much of anything to make a difference any more.
And Terry C, you didn't offend me. I just think your comment could be used against you, Atrios, and ultimately the liberal blogosphere.
All plans would have to have some co-payment, to encourage people to make choices about their care.

With Universal:

There are plenty of unanswered questions about the FBI spyware that, as we reported earlier this week, can be delivered over the Internet and implanted in a suspect's computer remotely.
One of the questions is, "Does it get installed from haloscan or DailyKos?"
I would imagine there would be a few companies that simply vanish the day after their employees vanish.

The thing that I don't understand is why businesses (other than insurance companies, of course), aren't CLAMORING for universal healthcare. Providing health insurance is guaranteed one the biggest expenses facing any company. I just don't get it.

Sen. Sununu: I Don’t Want President Bush To Campaign With Me
The New York Times writes this morning that conservatives are trying to walk a fine line between supporting and distancing themselves from President Bush:
There is little question that the winds of discontent are stirring among Republicans on Capitol Hill over the direction of the Iraq war. A majority, of course, continued to support President Bush with their votes this week during the latest Iraq debate. But several Republicans no longer whisper, or walk away, when asked about their skepticism.
One of those conservative trying to strike this delicate balance is Sen. John Sununu (R-NH). “Sununu has faced criticism for his stance on Iraq, with critics charging he is too close to President Bush on war policy.” This week, he voted to filibuster the Levin-Reed amendment.

"That isn't your worldview, so why give in to that kind of hate."
"Luke, don't give into hate. that leads to the dark side."
true, but liberals have been trying to act christian since day one - summer of love and all that. didn't work, did it? I see today more signs of hope that some kind of progressive country is emerging, a country that just might live up to what it thinks it is, and I attribute it to the left adapting a little Malcolm and saying "by any means necessary!"
doesn't mean we got to want them dead, doesn't mean we gotta hate, but yes we do have to answer back at least as strongly.

yeah, something like that. A major character is already dead by chapter 6
So since then, we need a passport to get in. Huge backlog at the canadian passport offices. A big mess.

Ah. I see. You're right. It's pretty stupid. It also sux that your passports are only good for 5 yrs.
That isn't your worldview, so why give in to that kind of hate.
Now, see, here...Snow up what I've attempted to say in several paragraphs in one simple sentence!
That is exactly it.
And Gomez had it right earlier - Bush is a cancer. With that, I agree, because we can prove with facts how he has been a malignancy to the United States of America.

"

Well, one is that "Socialist" stigma thing a lot of business owners etc have.
But I really do think it is a game of leverage. I have watched people being told sorry, they have shopped, but coverage is going down and cost is going up. But I know in reality that they didn't shop out the policy at all.
The only reason I can see is incompetence or an ulterior motive.
So with Universal Healthcare, same diff.

facts will tell you the us of a (fuck yeah!) ranks nowhere near #1 in anything but prison population and executing teens, but does that matter? we're dealing with a population that in 2004 was about 1/2 filled with people who really believed bush was the only one who could protect us from the turristz, when a calendar would tell then he fucked it the last time!

While it's true that Falafel has a larger audience than I do, he's also trying to build such an audience, and I am not. His audience is not large by any objective television standard. Building him up to become some kind of invincible bogeyman is exactly what he wants.
Trying to be polite and inoffensive is what has cost us election after election. 2006 was the first time in memory that the Dems fought fire with fire, and, what do you know, we won! Again, I'm not advocating hate, but I'm not going to kowtow to the "serious" people either. Politics is a hardball game, made ever more serious by the criminal despots who have taken over our government. We need to play to win.

For two - you think I'm the only one here with that viewpoint? I'm not, trust me.
I think this is the perfect place to hope to take the high road - Atrios' thing here is to tell the truth and expose us to the lies, laziness, and misdeeds of the media. It's a good thing he's doing. We can help him along in his cause but not hoping for "dime-sized holes" in politicians' skulls (e.g. death wishes, etc.).

Well, one is that "Socialist" stigma thing a lot of business owners etc have.
el-hi education is socialist. So are most highways, and the military. Why is guarding a child's health less of a priority than teaching her the ABCs? The Milton Friedman Ayn Rand Gary Cooper individualist manifest destiny wonks like Kristol and Coulter have invested in the cost/benefit ratios of Adam Smith's invisible handjob to the detriment of the enlightenment. Adam Smith never said what they use him for, and Ann Coulter going after Darwin like a rabid chipmunk suggests that their ideology conquers all. I await the roman à clef about that NRO cruise. About Norman Pudhoretz on the bow of the boat with Katie O'Burn re-enacting the "Titantic" scene. And then Katie O'Burn says, "Fuck me hard Norm. Fuck me. Just don't use your limp dick. Use this." And she hands him a rolled up copy of a 1962 National Review in which William F Buckley says Martin Luther King may be a communist.

I was told as a teacher (and a parent, for that matter) that i needed to set limits. I know for a fact that the more i held out to a student this far and no farther will you go with that behavior the more success I had and the more success i could have.

This has my vote for best comment of the month.
First post after David Broder's latest article:
Where is the real David Broder and what have you done to him? No mention of Republican policy priorities, no hint of noble efforts to strive for Congressional consensus, no anecdotes of heart-warming wisdom in the heartlands, not even any pats for Bush and his White House. Does this mean that the long anticipated "Bush Bounce" is now officially dead? Are the Republicans to be consigned by The Dean to the scrap-heap of history?
Broder has his finger deeply embedded in the prevailing winds, and those winds now seem to be blowing in a strongly Democratic direction. Broder prepares to offer his sage advice to the new Democrat constituency. Fire up his order of quail, someone!

Great post.
As my old man, a school superintendent that had to deal with irate and often irrational parents regularly, used to say when said parents wanted to get nasty,
"If you want to swing and ax, then we can swing an ax."
More of this please.
While I don't think that civil discourse as defined by the Broders of this country is viable any longer, I do often worry about the violence our everyday language is filled with.
One of these days I'm going to sift through the Buddhist teachings on right speech and produce an essay, if only for my own benefit and use. I really do have to stop theatening folks with whom I disagree with knee capping or throttling.

"If you want to swing and ax, then we can swing an ax."
yeah. and honestly, if i thought anyone really wanted someone dead I might feel differently, but I think peoples is just blowing off steam when they say stuff like that.
and honestly - i find it hard to swallow that the lefties have to be so pure while the right has coulter without apparent penalty. cause there may be a difference between a fuckoff and a death wish, but both will be used against the left, and eliminate the death wish and we will be attacked for the fuckoff.
The right is NOT going to fight fair, nor are they ever going to see the left as the loyal opposition. we are in the way of the great neocon fundie wet dream. they will bomb the shit out of the high road if they have to.
if the high road suits your spirit, ok. just don't expect an improvement in the debate or in the behavior of the right.

Yes, sir, Bush is going to get the best of everything. A family friend went to get a colonscopy at a Veteran's Administration hospital in South Carolina where they don't coddle vets and perfom the procedure without any anesthesia at all! Halfway through, he climbed down from the table and said 'Sorry, I can't take the pain.' Meanwhile, Bush is soaring happily pain-free with the birds ...

Twenty years from now we can visit him at the ranchette and read him some Brautigan:
"ROMMEL DRIVES ON DEEP INTO EGYPT"

June 26, 1942
Rommel is dead.
His army has joined the quicksand legions

It's a tragic loss to the Republic that Bush wasn't forced to hold a press conference the morning after his colonoscopy.
I, for one, would be fascinated to hear what the man might say on the one day of his life when he hasn't been full of shit.
But this is not just another colonoscopy. If they could find Bush's head . . .
CNN's Coverage of Bush's colonoscopy strikes me as the modern day equivalent of LouisXIV having his syncophants gather around for the privilege of watching him defecate.
It's fortunate he got a colonoscopy. Now, as commander in chief, he'll be able to effectively discharge his doody.
But did they find his microcephalus up there?
Well, I hope everything came out alright.
"A colonoscopy is fairly common diagnostic procedure that those of us with health insurance are encouraged to get at some point in our lives.
Anyone else can go to an emergency room.
P O'Neill"
No you can't just go to an emergency room for this type of examination.
And "at some point in our lives"
doesn't cut it.
Colonoscopy should be done regularly if you're over 50. Would probably be best if started in mid 40s.
Regularly is about every 4 or 5 years if no polyps are found. If polyps are found and are benign INSIST on no more than 3 years but 1 or 2 would be better.
Hear they took out a couple polyps only to find out later that they actually peformed a prefrontal lobotomy.
