Barack fired-up that rapid response team and wasted no time hitting back (via press release):
“What’s reckless is continuing the Bush-McCain foreign policy that has cost us thousands of lives and a trillion dollars in Iraq, strengthened Iran, enabled Hamas to take Gaza, took our eye off al Qaeda, failed to capture Osama bin Laden, failed to finish the job in Afghanistan, and left us less safe and less respected in the world. No amount of utterly predictable fear-mongering and tough talk can change the fact that John McCain is running to continue the most disastrous foreign policy in recent American history,” said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.
I think we have a winner.

Official Urged Fewer Diagnoses of PTSD
A psychologist who helps lead the post-traumatic stress disorder program at a medical facility for veterans in Texas told staff members to refrain from diagnosing PTSD because so many veterans were seeking government disability payments for the condition.
"Given that we are having more and more compensation seeking veterans, I'd like to suggest that you refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out," Norma Perez wrote in a March 20 e-mail to mental-health specialists and social workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs' Olin E. Teague Veterans' Center in Temple, Tex. Instead, she recommended that they "consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder."

I'll start my campaigning by pointing out the two most accurate analogies to Neville Chamberlain at Munich.
Number one goes to the Republicans, and, alas, the Democrats, who enabled George Bush. They appease him. They should have known better. Lots of people told us so--Molly Ivins, a writer with a national reputation. Appeasing Bush and his war machine as they opposed the rule of law, that's what they did. And the result is that it's a bigger mess, a much bigger mess, that could have been avoided.
Number two goes to George Bush, as he presides over a Munich of the environment. He appeases the polluters, the warming denialists, the folk who think water and fish and air are trivial things and PCBs and depleted uranium and urea-formaldehydes and industrial hog farming and like that are to be celebrated. His name will be remembered by future generations, who will be cleaning up the mess, with all the fondness with which we recall Chamberlain.
Now, let's imagine Chamberlain himself confronting Hitler, with a few differences. Let's say that Chamberlain commands the mightiest war machine in the history of the world, can read license plates from space anywhere on the planet, runs a country with a quarter of the world's economy, can annihilate any city on Earth within two hours, and let's say Hitler commands an economy smaller than Texas', has an army smaller than the troops we station abroad in Germany alone, and not much of a navy or an air force. It's just possible that Neville might have done better in such a confrontation.
Can I stop hearing about Munich for a while, now? I pledge that, if I am elected president, moreover, that I will never use a Munich analogy again.

He walks among the Congress, and one Representative says to another,
Here is our equal appearing and new.

And the authors take him for an author, and the artists for an artist,
And the laborers perceive he could labor with them and love them,
No matter what the work is, that he is the one to follow it or has

No matter what the nation, that he might find his brothers and

How anemic are you, and why? Your doc needs to nail that down. If it's mild, and you aren't planning on trekking up Everest or taking up marathoning or triathloning, probably not much of a big deal, but much depends on its cause; see the doc and let hem/her do his work.
Main consequence is that to get the same oxygen delivery, anemic blood has to get pushed faster around the circuit, which makes the heart work harder. You're young with a good heart, you'll compensate except under stresses. You're old, or have some other problem like a leaky valve, not so much.
But you're also less likely to form pathological blood clots, which cause big trouble in heart, brain, legs, lungs and kidneys...

I hate that show.
The Kenosha Kid
I despised the oroginal Battlestar Bonanzica (or Battlescarred Galaxitive, as one of the SF mags dubbed it), and never want to see the remake. I blieve you're the only other denizen of Eschatown I've heard say what I feel.

There is an old family cemetery in the woods about 75 feet from where i am presently sitting.
Hideously overgrown. We've been trying to clean it up off and on for 9 years that we've been here but there are limits to what we can do because we don't own the land so can't cut trees & such.
One corner contains flat red rocks, unmarked, stuck up in the same pattern as the head- and foot-stones are for the 'marked' graves. Might be the poor or might be slaves. West Tennessee, no way to be sure.

It is true that the way their fans greet them when they mount the stage is thrust their forefingers in the air, point at the stage, shouting "You suck! You suck! suck!"
So I guess I won't post their "Summer Breeze" cover.
I saw them open at Jones Beach for Queensryche (who were truly godawful). Very weird venue for them with their black and dayglo green stuff.
They had their roadies take down their gear in the middle of the last song.

Our female Lab, Luna, used to do that. She'd stop at spots along the edges of our property every night. We could hear her bark, then silence, then barking again when she moved to the next spot. She was our sentinel, keeping us safe.
