Speaking of lucky duckies:
An Indiana woman with advanced throat cancer says she had to divorce her husband to afford a life-saving surgery.
Geneva Sharpe, 47, says she was diagnosed in March with cancer. One month later surgeons "cut me from ear to ear," she told ABC News.com, removing her voice box and saving her life.
With the aid of a mechanical larynx, Sharpe said that because her husband Freddie Sharpe was collecting disability insurance, the couple's combined income disqualified her from receiving enough Medicaid money to cover the cost of her treatment.
"If we didn't get a divorce, I wouldn't be alive today," said Sharpe who says she worked as a nurse for 16 years and admits to smoking cigarettes for twice that long.
"Welfare and Medicaid wouldn't help me," she said. "I tried everything to get help with my medical bills. No matter what, it always seemed we're going to be a dollar over the limit to get help with my medicine."

"We will create millions of jobs by making the single largest new investment in our national infrastructure since the creation of the federal highway system in the 1950s," he said.
This is good and all, but you know the 1950s were like, oh, I dunno, 50 years ago. Lot of inflation since then; you'd think we could increase it quite a bit.

Besides, I don't care how good your defense is Gomez. Your quarterback throws too many picks...Someone has to score. Good luck running the ball.

Don't know how it is in your area, but greatly improved here. Free meds, etc. Much better than what I'm getting with my "cadillac" plan.
But of course you still have to worry about your family, and there's the problem. Was sorry to see what you're dealing with re: your child, etc. Best to you.
Gentlemen, gentlemen...
I really haven't any idea about who is going to the SuperBowl, much less who's going to win.

Yes. All I remember was how the Giants couldn't move the ball. As no team has against us all year.
No team has gotten more than 300 yards against us all year.
The night follows the day, and tavern owners oppose smoking bans. It's what they do.

In Oregon, if you are continuously covered by insurance then the new insurer can't hold pre-existing conditions against you (tho there may be a waiting period...?) Maybe you put child on a super high deductible plan until state kicks in?

This is not new. Back in the seventies my dad was suffering serious complications from untreated diabetes. Mom was advised to divorce him so he could get Medicaid. She was aghast. Very liberal towards others, but was raised a straight laced Quaker. She *could* not live in sin or desert her husband of close to forty years in his hour of need.

And, there are no showboats on this team.
Which will probably get their ass kicked by the Cowboys Sunday..

I'll tell you who NOT to turn down an opportunity to see live, especially during her current road trip: Tina Turner. Even at 69 (yes, that's right) she's still kicking ass and taking numbers.
Speaking of Janis, it never ceases to amaze me that she once had a blind date with none other than ...
... William (Bill) Bennett, well-known wingnut on education, and a guy who is said to have lost several million in gambling.
The story goes that she wanted to go to a biker bar, and had to rescue Bennett when a Harley guy found Bennett a bit of a wimp. Something about a broken bottle, but that is probably just embroidery.

OTOH, I DID see Ricky Nelson about a month before his death, and I am here to tell you that he was amazing. James Burton forever, people...
Roy was sublime.
Nelson was always cool also. Garden Party is a great roll call tune.
And Burton's amazing.
A) The Giants offensive line beat your defense down.
Whic is why they had to kick four field goals like pussies and then pass for a 2 yard TD.

Michigan stuns No. 4 Duke
Angelique S. Chengelis / The Detroit News
ANN ARBOR -- The second time was the charm for the Michigan men's basketball team.
Just more than two weeks after losing to Duke in the final of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament at Madison Square Garden, the Wolverines pulled off its second upset of a top-five team this season in stunning fashion.
Michigan, led by DeShawn Sims' 28 points and 12 rebounds, upset No. 4 Duke, 81-73, before a sellout crowd at Crisler Arena on Saturday afternoon. The student section emptied and swarmed the floor to celebrate the nationally televised victory
That woman has such gorgeous legs.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
And she's teeny!
But so much energy! I might switch teams for her. If she were into old grandmotherly white women.
B) The Giants Defense tap danced all over Roethlisberger's head in the fourth quarter.
Big Ben holds onto the ball longer to make a play. And he usually does. Manning can't move. No one open, he's toast.

Zod is due back in 6 days as someone we will allegedly "like"
Gomez | 12.06.08 - 6:10 pm | #
His final word was that Zot was dead and he will come back in two weeks under another nyn. Then after a month when all here, all 15 of us, love him he will announce that he was Zot and show us for what we are.
WE have the talent. You have the mouths. And the criminals.
Gomez
No. I have a mouth, or in this case a keyboard, and I'm currently wearing your team out with it. The Giants are nothing if not consummate professionals. One headcase does not a team make. So stop whining. The Steelers will get a chance to prove their mettle. I personally don't think they'll make it to the superbowl against the Giants. Too soft. And their coach is mediocre.
OOOPS -
"Are there no prisons?
Are there no workHOUSES?"

But you have to wonder what Israel's definition of "ally" is. What is it we're getting out of the deal, exactly?

I had the unbridled thrill of not only seeing him in concert, but photographing an interview with him (just him, the reporter, and me) afterwards.
Really enjoyed listening to that.
Checking the computer, I have about a dozen songs by Cab.
I get to go to Newyawk next month! Three days upstate on biniss, then a weekend in the city for fun.
I'm with Terry. What is that about?
And their coach is mediocre.
As opposed to a coach that couldn't cut it in Jacksonville. And is known around the league as a world class asshole.
Shut the fuck up "Roger"
Well it took me three days, multiple references to the manual, and two tries, but I believe that I've finally made the new cuisinart coffee maker work. If I wake up to freshly-ground coffee tomorrow, we'll know that 23 years of education weren't completely wasted.

And he usually does. Manning can't move. No one open, he's toast.
Gomez
Yeah, just like he didn't move on that catch the Giants made in the Superbowl last year against the Patriots..
And Luckily for the Giants, "pussies" that they are, someone was open on that "2 yard touchdown pass"..
Wow, the Steelers are so good, they can't defense a two yard touchdown pass!
One of the really great things about being alive right now is that a lot of these older performers can be viewed via the films that have been downloaded on such sources as YouTube.
I mean, we can see and hear Odetta, and Miriam Makeba, Cab Calloway, Roy Orbison, [insert your own favorites].
Giants: 11-1, 7 victories against opponents with winning records
Steelers: 9-3, 3 victories against opponents with winning records.
Steelers are lucky to have played a relatively weak schedule until now.
Looking at who they play the next four weeks (Dallas, Baltimore, Tennessee and Cleveland), I figure they'll finish 10-6.
Sir Lance Bass of Stink Dink is an envious sort, it seems.
housabout Fats Waller?
There is a new-ish Waller box set that I have probably played more than any single piece of music in my vast collection over the last year or so. Surely a gentleman of distinction...
The Giants are nothing if not consummate professionals.

Well, they sure did smack down your Steelers.

Ya gotta admit, Ellen De Generes got it right when she gave the receiver a helmet with velcro on it...
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has demanded that the Obama administration "face up to Iran", amid Israeli preparations for war.
In a Saturday phone conversation, Barak said the time is ticking for newly-appointed US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates to dissuade Tehran from enriching uranium.

I'd like Obama to take action too.
Let's sever ties with the warmongering Israel altogether. How that for action?

Got a masters in special ed, again while I was working. Studied Alfred Adler, which was v v valuable to me. Did my thesis on the history of residential care for the mentally retarded in MD.

Umm, you forgot that game - winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
And the fact that the Steelers only managed TWO YARDS against the Giants D in the whole fourth quarter..
Ignoring facts like these is the reason why you're wearing rose - colored glasses regarding your team's chances...
louis jordan....
You pretty much can't go wrong w. R & B from that era - Calloway, Waller, Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Roy Milton, my main man Little Willie John, and so on... Somewhere I have an Ike Turner CD that is truly deadly - he was really one of the secret architects of rock 'n roll. Pity that he was such an abusive louse...

Hee! Johnny Guarnieri was my hero - he used to play at the Tail o' the Cock and would let me ask for special songs. And my Uncle Johnny, the Capitol Records rep for Western Canada, had a record collection that took up his entire rumpus room, 20' X 20' x 9' - when he died, my Auntie Margie wanted to send it all down to me here in Phx. I had to tell her we didn't own Freightways any more - and got her to donate it to an obscure, NE US liberal arts college....
Umm, you forgot that game - winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
A 53 yard drive is a short field.
Mostly on passes. Because you're pussies.

If we understand the Dirac delta function concept, the implication is that a British PhD is hyperspecialized in one narrow subfield and underprepared everywhere else.
Yup.
We totally plaxicoed your delta function.
Oh our numerous Shinto gods, it would totally make a sensible slang
coup if the term "plaxico" were used as a sexual slang to describe an unintended in-trouser outburst. As in to plaxico or suffer a plaxico in a well-earned lap dance.
You know anybody that got a PHD in 2 years?
billy b, you are the biggest bestest twat ever. Is that better? I do not want to get cross with you.

I figure I'll have my PhD in a week or so.

There's a guy who practices his caber tossing skills in the public land adjoining my property... the neighborhood kids love it!
No caber tossing, but my father used to compete in track and field competitions in the Canadian armed forces. His specialties were discus and shotput. We kids used to go out with him to the open field next to where we lived when he practiced.
Quine received his Phd from Harvard in 2 years.
It's been nice. No real problems. I will leave with this, the Steelers have a chance. The Panthers have a better chance. If I had my pick between the two I would go for the Panthers. Jamie deserves it.

*You* I'll still like.
You know anybody that got a PhD in 2 years?
Yes, but he had a really bad nervous breakdown immediately afterwards that took him like five years to get past, so it pretty much worked out, timewise. Me, I did my coursework in 2 years, and the dissertation in one - but the dissertation year was delayed by a bunch of family stuff, so the 3 years weren't continuous.
yes, but is it a delta function of like?

Uncle, billy b got very angry with me. He threatened me. I am only trying to make up with the twat.
Thank you, can always use some light.
Off to spa before it gets dark. (The lightbulb in the spa seems to have died - gotta find out where to get another one.)

Up above I posted a link to THE PERFECT HIGH, a poem by Shel Silverstein and read by Bob Gibson (famous folkie)
These are the words:The Perfect High
There once was a boy named Gimme-Some-Roy... He was nothin' like me or you,
'cause laying back and getting high was all he cared to do.
As a kid, he sat in the Cellar ...sniffing airplane glue.And then he smoked banana peels, when that was the thing to do.
He tried aspirin in Coca-Cola, he breathed helium on the sly, and his life became an endless search to find the perfect high.
But grass just made him wanna lay back and eat chocolate-chip pizza all night,
and the great things he wrote when he was stoned looked like shit in the morning light.Speed made him wanna rap all day, reds laid him too far back, Cocaine-Rose was sweet to his nose, but the price nearly broke his back.He tried PCP, he tried THC,
but they never quite did the trick.
Poppers nearly blew his heart, mushrooms made him sick.
Acid made him see the light, but he couldn't remember it long. Hash was a little too weak, and smack was a lot too strong.Quaaludes made him stumble, booze just made him cry,
Then he heard of a cat named Baba Fats who knew of the perfect high.

Come on now, we shouldn't be so hard on Bush, he did say that he was going to run the government like a business. He just never told us that he would be using Enron as the model.
Plaxico, you EEEEDEEEOTTT!

I thought you just wrote a paper and submitted it and if it was good enough they gave you a Phd. That's what they did with Wittgenstein, he submitted his Tractatus and then Russell and Moore asked him a few questions and he was granted the degree.
Anyone else catch Rain, the Beatles tribute band on PBS? Pretty good! Although the guy playing the drums looks more like Harry Shearer then Ringo.
I'm just happy a judge blocked the suspensions of the Williams boys and the other NFL players. This whole ordeal is a joke!

From what I gather, Steverino plays a pretty mean bass guitar... and we've got more than a few guitarists, keyboardists, drummers, and singers here... put 'em all together at the next Eschacon and whaddaya got?

Could be a hot one!
simels sockpuppets are known to perform at the laundromat.
Uncle, it looks like billy b has gone away. I will take your advise. When he comes back I will tell him that he is a bigger twat than simels.
I mean he frightened me with his threat. What more can I do to make amends?
I'd rather perform at a Senior Citizens' Center then at a non alcoholic bar but thats just me...although the crowd may not like the heavy metal music...or hear it.

Zap!
we have submitted the following to urban dictionary dot com:
Plaxico: verb meaning to suffer an unexpected explosion in one's trousers, especially at a club. "That post-punk straightedge bi Jewish-Korean-Russian aerobics
instructor over there is totally making me plaxico."; "My career plan
is to get promoted after plaxicating my boss."

WalMart!
If I were the representing lawyer for the man that died at Wally World on Black Friday, I'd sue for triple the amount. You know Wally World would do ANY thing to shut it up.
I would show NO mercy to the company who vest all its legendy ugly disregard for humanity in large, ugly ways, just for so much money over human (stupid) life - that one could hear them phsically squeal (you know, like a stuck pig).
WalMart, such an ugly company, is so many, very ugly ways.

Bunch of goddamned juicers NEED to be suspended. Or is our no tolerance policy conditional?
RE: Ike and Tina.
Some years ago, I read an interview with Tina. When asked if she'd had any cosmetic surgery, she confessed to having the breasts lifted and tightened a bit. Oh, and nose job.
Ike had broken her nose so many times, it was really hard to breathe while performing.
