When you are tired of riding on a flying American slum.
A friend pointed out to me recently that flying American airlines is getting to be a lot like crossing the Atlantic on one of those slave ships or steerage class in the old days of steam ship travel.
your inside the park home run has become tiresome
now we dance.
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."

Good evening, friends.
I just saw a commercial for "Jesus Camp".
Man, some really fucked up individuals there!
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.

So here's my impossible aspiration: to live up to the protagonist of Whitman's
'Song of the Answerer':
He says indifferently and alike How are you friend? to the President
at his levee,
And he says Good-day my brother, to Cudge that hoes in the sugar-field,
And both understand him and know that his speech is right.
He walks with perfect ease in the capitol,
He walks among the Congress, and one Representative says to another,
Here is our equal appearing and new.
(more)
Then the mechanics take him for a mechanic,
And the soldiers suppose him to be a soldier, and the sailors that
he has follow'd the sea,
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
follow'd it,
No matter what the nation, that he might find his brothers and
sisters there.
Please, please read the whole thing, and recover a bit of your pride in being an American.

Yes, hence the "Tuscan time."
We do hates him. Except we loves him. Bit of a pickle.
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...
