I found this posted by imustprotest at Uppity’s place: Obama brags about dead campaign worker insisting on being buried in an obama tee-shirt.
“After listing his administration’s accomplishments and vowing that “our most urgent task is job creation,” Obama pledged to keep fighting for a national health care system. “We knew this was hard,” Obama said. And then he described a letter he received from a campaign worker who suffered from breast cancer and has since died:
I got a letter — I got a note today from one of my staff — they forwarded it to me — from a woman in St. Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed away from breast cancer. She didn’t have insurance. She couldn’t afford it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted she’s going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.
Many observers have noted that the president often seems extraordinarily self-referential. It’s all about him, they say. But even those critics might be a little taken aback by the “buried in an Obama t-shirt” remark. Is it really that much about him?”
WTF? Is this guy for real? It’s not his fault, obviously, that the poor woman had breast cancer, no insurance, and that she died. It’s also not his fault that she was so sadly delusional about her “savior” that she wanted to be buried in his shirt. What IS his fault is that he BRAGGED about it on TV. A normal person would be taken aback by learning that someone wanted to be buried in his or her campaign shirt. It would make them reflect on the meaning of charisma and the power of image, and also the burden of leadership. It would prompt them to think. In silence. In private. What a strange, absurd, little venal man we have in the White House.

Hey Murphy… glad to hear thing’s are going better…
Yes, I watched Palin and now watching a one on one interview Q & A…. Though I do not agree on certain subjects of Palins views…. I am sooooooooooooooooo happy that she has the courage to Stand up to Bo and Call him out…… I just freaking love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is giving the punches to the Bo Adm. 
She touched and went into detail about alot of issues that have been what the Bo ADM has been spitting out…Now, the Bo Adm has been throwing-up on the American People…. I just thought it was just perfect when she said… “enough about talk, talk, talk, and show us some action”….. 
And, she is very correct in stating that no one person running for office will share or support your (me) values 100%…. So, that is my two cents worth….. 
Casper Cat 02.06.10 at 10:10 pm
Oh, I almost forgot she also stated…” the tea party movement which is the people movement… Is not about just the Democratic Party but, the Republican Party too…. this is a huge wake up call for both parties……She also, stated this is a revolution movement…. just sharing what I heard….

Palin’s speech was feminine and muscular at the same time! She said “Special needs children should be welcomed into the world and embraced” on the one hand and on the other about defense: I have been criticized as simple… well I have a simple view of the war “We win-they lose! We have to do everything we can to win.”
Geraldo is calling it a “powerful” speech!

I’m with the PUMAs who can almost wish to be surprised that the ASS would be an ASS, but so it goes.
Aw, crap, I heard about the 16 year old girl, but not the 5 other women buried alive.
I’ve been busy at work (keeping PUMApaws crossed it pans out well) but I did look up “honor” killings in Turkey and found out that half the murders in Turkey are woman-lynchings.
If not girl-lynchings. And the whine force the young men to kill their sisters and cousins, so the law goes more lenient on them for their youth.
But now that the European Union is cracking down on this loathesome practice they are forcing the young women into “honor suicides.”
Just when you thought it could get no worse, huh?
They lock the girl in a room with various means to kill herself.
I do have the links, but now I’m going back downstairs to watch the rest of the dog show. Why, I don’t know. No dachshund won, they never win.
It’s a plot I tell you. They put the doxies at the end of the hound group, rush them thru, never show any with their typical personality…otherwise the other dogs wouldn’t have a chance!!

Both Sarah and the Tea Partiers at the Convention stated they are not interested in starting a Third Party and do NOT wish to have a “leader”. They simply plan to start a PAC to promote any candidate with their conservative principles. However, Huckabee warned that Palin must not alienate the Republican Party as she encourages the Tea Party movement. Both Parties are afraid of this movement, or should be.
I think Palin will be on FOX Sunday, if anybody wants to watch her tomorrow.
I’m getting fat on cupcakes, but hope tomorrow’s a good one!

How many times have we heard that we needed to pass health insurance as a tribute to Ted Kennedy, because of this work in this area and the fact that he is male and rich and a Kennedy and entitled? Did Obama ever feel like we should pass national health care because this woman (that eventually has no name) died because she did not have insurance but still believed that Obama would live up to his campaign promises and work to pass health care insurance once he was president??

True-but she’s still standing. There’s going to be a Republican candidate, and I hope it will be Sarah. If she were a man, having been a governor and vice-presidential candidate would be almost an automatic front-runner position for the nomination. Just want her to get the recognition and respect she deserves in her Party. No?
Anyway, I’m keeping the ol’ man up with the computer, so-good night all.

She got a huge cheer when they mentioning the two words “President Palin” scaring the left. I think she will run in 2012. I would so vote for her over the one.
DeadGirl 02.06.10 at 11:21 pm
I have this feeling, and I know this is rehashed, after seeing some of the remarks of the Tea Party “leaders” that these people are not about an opposition, but to neutralize the populist revolt by turning rational people against it. Thus, by rounding them up, making them think ugly and speak uglier by “leadership” that is actually paid astroturf agents, as it is all about controlling the populace for the sake of the Oligarchy/Plutocracy=Plutarchy.
I have been researching rhetoric and visual rhetoric and brainwashing.
These so-called Tea Party leaders are merely fronting for a cabal of evil oligarchs. Their goal is to keep the real populist revolt from evolving. Think of the so-called left and the so-called right leadership as being in the pockets of the same evil moneymonsters. That crap they are spouting, is bananas!!! No normal modern American can think like that without shame. They are being led down a dark path for a reason.
DeadGirl 02.06.10 at 11:25 pm
the novelty sheen has worn off Sarah Palin for me. My brain cannot fathom her as President. At one time, I would have revenge voted for her, and I did when she was VP candidate, but it was all a move to manipulate PUMA movement over the Vote R. If Sarah Palin evolved into a non-religious purty leader for all, it would be good, but she is merely another Barbie in the new line of Political Barbie Ken Dolls. Barack, Scott, Sarah… who else is coming, purty, tan, or latte hued, to get us all hot enough to vote for them…

Why are people coming up with these conspiracy theories about the tea party movement? Really, you are looking way too deep into this. They are a group of people who clearly don’t have our same ideologue, but there isn’t this underlying oligarch waiting to take over populism in America. It’s impossible pay off millions of people in each state to go to protests.
Frankly, I’m voting for whoever runs against Obama. First in the primary and again if I have to in the GE. If people are too afraid to do the same because Sarah Palin’s scary vagina that might take over America as we know it – sorry but the train is leaving with or with out you. I will not sit through another 4 years of Obama’s shit.

I remember writing about this back in 2008 — most of the people (not the freaks and obot stalkers) but the regular PEOPLE who voted for obama did so with the best of intentions and with sincere hope and faith that he would make things better for them. It just makes his fraudulence that much more unbearable.

awesome point Juliette. But how will she be able to take down obama if she doesnt run?
DancesWithPumas 02.07.10 at 2:25 am
Excerpted from hillaryis44
“This movement is about the people,” the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said as the crowd roared. “Government is supposed to be working for the people.”
Noting Democrats’ recent electoral losses just a year after Obama was elected on promises of hope and change, she asked: “How’s that hope-y, change-y stuff workin’ out for you?“”
Sounds like a puma pac winning bumpersticker to me!

Juliette 02.07.10 at 2:40 am
I’m back Murphy. And thank you for your comment.
To answer your question:
Sarah Palin is humble and does not attempt to make the Tea Party movement about her. She could have exploited the overwhelming support for her as a presidential candidate in 2012 but she is about the movement which is geared towards holding members of BOTH parties accountable and ending the fiscal madness in Washington that is spending our nation into deep trouble. Obama is an internationalist and doesn’t give a crap about our nation debt, this woman is about America and the American people. I agree with her that we need to exploit our natural resourses-A subject she knows very much of, and her assertion that if your gonna fight a war, be in it to win it.
Sorry, I got away from your question, but Palin is showing America a true and real image of what Barak Obama is, “a charismatic man with a telepromter. That was great! She has given people real hope and she will be the one who scares democrats in power away from their full on embrace of Chicago style politics which is destroying the credability of my former party.
I was happy to vote for McCain-Palin after the DNC threw Hillary under the bus. They have a are changing the party-(Rep.) who held power throughout the majority of my life time, and thats a good thing. She reminded me of Puma’s tonight- unafraid to take on the false messiah. She is chipping away at the totally false facade that is O’Blunder. She will defeat him, as presidential candidate or as an advocate of the people.

Also I hope everyone remembers that Sarah Palin was addressing a tea party crowd. She has more speeches ahead of her and I think she’ll start to appear more populist. On a number of occasions she said she would help common sense democrats in 2010. She needs to appeal to the conservatives so she gets the nomiantion and then she’ll take on a more independent, populist message.

(See, Powerless Pussy Pants? THAT”S how you do invective!)”
Meanwhile, her own sister has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ovarian tumors don’t grow to the size of Idaho only because they kill you long before that. But they would if they could. And my sister is in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Maine after an accident.
And the woman buried in the obama tee-shirt was another real life woman, just like me, and her, and her sister, and maybe you (though it seems clear that you’re a guy).
I know what kind of people wish tumors the size of Idaho on other people.

Ms. Palin represents a new breed of unelected public figures operating in an environment in which politics, news media and celebrity are fused as never before. Whether she ever runs for anything else, Ms. Palin has already achieved a status that has become an end in itself: access to an electronic bully pulpit, a staff to guide her, an enormous income and none of the bother or accountability of having to govern or campaign for office.
“Few public figures not in office have leveraged the nexus between media and political positioning as Sarah Palin has,” said the Washington lawyer Robert Barnett (who negotiated, among other things, Ms. Palin’s lucrative deal with Fox News, an arrangement with the Washington Speaker’s Bureau that pays her a reported $100,000 a pop, and a deal with Harper Collins to write her memoir, “Going Rogue,” which has already earned her upward of eight figures).
Beyond what her Fox-watchers and Facebookers can see, Ms. Palin is quietly assembling the infrastructure of an expanding political operation.

There was no need for any normal person to mention that T-Shirt burial unless he was a hopeless narcissist. If the shoe fits….
What exactly did this add in relating that poor woman’s story except more ego stroking for Barack Obama? Furthermore, if he hadn’t been such a flaming failure, playing golf, speechifying and blowing smoke for an entire year while Nancy and Harry screwed up the works, with all three of them allowing the insurance industry to pimp their thievery, this poor woman might have had a chance.
I also find it ironic that he didn’t mention how mammograms before age 50 are under assault, so I can only assume that’s just fine with him too.
My God, that’s just so sick of him, I don’t even know what else to say.

Tiptoeing onto the blog this Sunday morning to post a link to Sarah Palin’s keynote speech yesterday. I’ve only seen snatches of it and thought it was not her usual strong speaking style. She did better in the question and answer portion, but I was appalled that the conservatives have obviously tried to claim the movement. It was all conservative all the sections that I watched of the convention. Maybe they are better at organizing people. A reporter on Washington Journal this morning said the the dems and indies in the movement decided to stay away from this convention. Any way if you’re interested in Palin’s speech here’s the link (maybe I’ll watch it all the way through later, but for now it was too knee jerk conservative for me):

I think you miss Deadgirl’s point. Of course the people in the movement are real. What Deadgirl is saying is that there are planted interests whose mission is to channel that fury to extremes that the mainstream finds unacceptable so that the movement’s growth doesn’t explode.
I might add to that the MSM makes sure what memes the general population is infected with, too, so those become what the Tea Party or any movement is all about.
Headclunker 02.07.10 at 10:11 am
I guess we are saying good bye to Juliette. I do not always agree with all the views supported on this blog, but find general commonality that I do not find elsewhere. I even went to a Tea Party demonstration once. Everybody was very nice, but I just did not fit. I find Republicans and conservatives lacking in empathy and realistic perspective about the price tag on their own views. The thing is that they only want to pay 10 cents on the dollar for the damages they do and consider even that generous. And it is generally backed up with a “might makes right” position.
On the other hand, the Obama administration promised to pay all the damages and hand out extra for supporters without having the means to do so. So how much worse are things going to get? Oblowit just not pack the gear to handle the situation.
The country has been deindustrialized and dumbed down. Where are the jobs? What should those jobs be? Soldiers? Financiers? Are we to be war mongers and moneychangers while the rest of the world chokes on it’s own poverty and pollution and depopulates itself? Or are we just going to lose preeminence?
Are these the reasons women must NOT be allowed to govern?
It is the quality of life issues that must come to the forefront for our country to emerge from this mess with something better. We must utilize our entire talent pool and develop it to our best advantage. The exclusivity of the white male must go. I think it is safe to declare that a failure. And make no mistake. A major reason why the Dems selected BO is because the party was dominated by white males who believed a half white man was better than none.
We need to be developing a work force oriented to environmentally friendly industry, healthcare and national security. That takes the full talent pool, education and technology.
Don’t bury me in an Obama tee shirt.

Hi PUMAs -
WOW – feel like I stepped into wonderland somehow………..
Murphy – I am so sorry to hear about your sister – I truly hope she will be okay – please keep us updated……………..
I’ve read lots of strange stuff on the blog since we started way back when and mostly I ignore it – but who or what the hell was Juliette?????? – I try not to visit the sites that blast us PUMAS – mostly becuz they’re mostly stupid basement dwellers and, if my friends on this blog who are PUMAs like me as I am, the rest of the garbage crap doesn’t matter and if anyone has to ask why – they don’t matter either…………………. I am what I have become – an old angry (not all the time)former white Democratic Hillary supporter who has now become an old angry (not all the time) white Independent Hillary supporter and also mostly women supporters – I like Sarah Palin and maybe it’s becuz she reminds me of so many people here in the Midwest which is mostly flyover country to the elitists on both the east & west coasts – a lot of great, smart, people originated here in this vast unknown wasteland -……………….

I’m not in on the backstory of the Juliette “outing” and I feel like Niecy Nash on Clean House…”but I’m nosy!”
I always felt, however, from the LaRouche links, there was an intent from that poster to mislead PUMAs. I think that is key….we can hold different world views, without an intent to mislead.
But mine was just an opinion, based upon an educated guess. Others apparently had facts behind the scenes. And there are times when one simply has no more human patience for predators in petticoats.

If anyone has a link to the stories of the other women buried alive, please repost it, thanks. When I read about that 16 y/o buried by her father and grandfather I read up on honor killings in Turkey, and the way they’ve “evolved” to try to stay one step ahead of the civilized world’s censure.
I have another link for you, a brutal one from a voice who could not be silenced. It’s thought to be the first book by a survivor of an attempted honor killing by burning. Since she was never taught to read or write, it’s thought that her oral history was transcribed by one of her rescuers.
“…a woman known only as Souad published what is believed to be the first book by a survivor of a failed honor killing. The book, Burned Alive: A Victim of the Law of Men, is receiving worldwide attention from human rights groups due to its powerful look into a practice so poorly documented in the press…”
http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/11/tem_tem2a.html
By Chelsea J. Carter
The Associated Press
By any standard, Burned Alive: A Victim of the Law of Men is a horrifying story of cruelty…But it is Souad’s survival, and the courage to tell her story, that gives the work its redemptive value.
“…Souad tells the story of her life growing up in a West Bank village. She describes it as one of obedience, hard labor and fear; she cannot read or write, a privilege reserved only for her brother.
“…At 17, the third of four daughters, Souad was considered old to be unmarried. While waiting for her father to arrange a marriage for her, she fell in love with a man and became pregnant – a grave dishonor punishable by death in some Muslim cultures in India, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, Morocco and other Mediterranean and Gulf countries.
“…The United Nations reported in 1999 that more than two-thirds of all murders in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank were most likely honor killings…
“…Souad’s brother-in-law, the author writes, carried out the family’s wishes, pouring gasoline over her head and setting her on fire. Her description of the actual burning is brief, running only a few pages. But it is the aftermath – as told by Souad and then the aid worker, identified only as Jacqueline – that is the most difficult part of the book to digest.
“…Souad was taken to a hospital but received little care because her family wanted her to die. She gave birth to a son in her near comatose state. He was taken from her and put in an orphanage.
“…Her recovery from the burns, which covered 90 percent of her body is excruciating in its detail. But it is her determination to not only survive but to live that offers hope.
” ‘… She still feels she’s in danger,’ says Warner Books Publisher Jamie Raab, who bought the American translation rights.
“Souad and Jacqueline’s story has been verified by SURGIR, a Swiss foundation that works with women who are subjected to honor crimes, as well as Souad’s testimony before various human rights agencies.”

This isn’t about PUMAs. Of course, I’ve had PUMAs tell me they’d not realized at first that LaRouche was a cult. It’s not about being able to catch on.
It’s about intent. It’s about the intention to mislead. But as I said, that was my own criterion for judging.
I can’t “just block” posters…it’s not my site. And I certainly am not going to judge the manner in which a deceitful poster was asked to leave.
But I do know what you mean regarding keeping our eyes on active progress. I think posters with different views can sometimes be oversensitive to criticism because online exchanges all transpire at a speed that is too quick and too distant for nuance and clarity— and too slow and too distant for the necessary clarifications! Speaking for myself, I saw Juliette as a predator. Not at all the same, to me, as PUMAs with whom I disagree with over voting Dem or Independent, etc.
But Juliette, as evidenced by her suggestion that I had taken over admin duties, was equating him/herself with anyone I disagree with, as well as suggesting I’m irrational. The reason for that, as best as I can make out, is that because this forum is moderated, trolls have to rein themselves in and play up to the very people they’re preying on. So, as someone who called her/him out long ago, I’m dismissed as abrasive and “crazy.” And that, in turn, is extended to any time I disagree with anyone….especially since I’m rather…. adamant.
Hey, I even told Dances “nice try” — I just have to hope that after a while, people can tell when I’m…high spirited.
It’s not easy getting rid of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. On other sites I go to, the moderators are less strict than here, and what happens is that regulars are roundly abused before the troll is finally booted. I don’t judge there, either, since it’s not my site. All I can do is state my opinion, and I have absolutely no idea how I would run a site of my own, because I haven’t been in those shoes.

Over at TGW, egalia linked to a story about the aging male chauvenist pigs making on-air jokes about Palin’s sex appeal.
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/02/04/wallace-palin-lap/
These were Fox News pigs. Instead of denouncing the sexism, the “progressive” Obot-trolls immediately started piling on Palin as well.
Here is part of one comment:
“As for the bawdy jokes about Sarah, if she didn’t like that sort of attention, she would have studied harder to get her higher education funded with an academic scholarship, rather than use it as an excuse to enter pageants. ”
Now…what do you think this vile O-fluffer would say about The One’s need for attention…so great that he brags about a woman being buried in one of his Koolaid Kult shirts?
Exactly.

Swannie 02.07.10 at 3:54 pm
This incident with the t shirt exemplifies what is wrong our leadership .
NO ONE deserves that kind of hero worship… No one deserves to be heard with an uncritical ear.. not Hillary not Sarah…. not anyone .. these are people with flaws and faults as well as great knowledge and skills but we owe it to ourselves to listen with a critical ear. The name calling and hero worship and all or nothing thinking is hurting all of us and keeping us from finding real solutions to the problems we all face in this country .
I listened to Sarah Palin speak to the TEA PARTY , and for the most part I was pleased to hear what she said and very gratified that she stands up ! On the other hand , I was dissapointed to hear what she said about the Stupak amendment, and that she supported it. And I would not be afraid to tell her that either . To hear that womens health care rights yes HEALTH CARE RIGHTS would be undermined in a health care bill with the support of any one, is extremely disapointing to me .
The utter contempt that the progressive right holds for Sarah is just a hindrance to a real and reasonable dialogue.
The current administration holds in complete disregard anyone but idolatrous followers … and leaves out any possibilty for progress.
So there on the opposite bank throwing stones and pointing fingers stands the leader of the country … the “great uniter” . I guess if you dont want to be buried in his tshirt you just don’t count .
invalidresponse 02.07.10 at 4:00 pm

Swannie, I would only add that it’s far worse for Zerobama, and all his Obot adherents, to pretend to be against Stupak while acting as if the Hyde amendment was status quo and therefor acceptable!
PRIVACY should be the way the abortion issue is framed. Both right and left could agree…it’s just none of our business what a woman and her doctor decides is best for her life and her body.

I agree the abortion issue should be a privacy issue, but that’s because we believe in choice and we do not believe-I can’t say it-what the other side believe. I love everything about Palin, but I’m so afraid Choice might get thrown under the bus by her. I would be so dissappointed. She says she wants to “empower women”: I hope that means she would NOT support taking away our rights on this issue. I hope, like Hillary, she means she’d want to keep abortions legal, but “rare”. I remember HRC said that once.

The patriarchy hates women. Period.
The only use women are to the patriarchy is sexual outlet, production of babies i.e. future soldiers and worker bees, and as a class they can keep down in order that they feel superior.
Note. I just remembered. There was a recent article about men marrying “up” (women with more education, better income, and a class above in instances.) When I read a similar article several months ago it was about women marrying “down” becuase it was difficult to find men of teh same education, income, and class level.
My point is… the shift in perspective places men in a better light by saying they are marrying up, rather than women are settling for losers.
DancesWithPumas 02.07.10 at 7:40 pm
Which reminds me (don’t ask me how, but it does)…
what message did/does “Did I mention I’m Black” Obama send out to bi-racial children (all combinations) by claiming and owning his sperm donor’s race and ignoring the race that birthed and raised him?
Is he telling children that they have to chose one or the other thus denying one half of their heritage? Did he send out a message that there is something shameful about being bi-racial?
Did non bi-racial children pick up on the message that there is something wrong or shameful about being bi-racial?
Okay, I’ve run out of things with to proscrastinate … must go grocery shopping.

—————————–
WALLACE:You made the choice to have Trigg, … Why not allow all women to make their own choice?
PALIN: Well I believe that these babies in our womb have the right to life. And that’s what I stand on.
PALIN: “I want to empower women though. I — I want — and — and if Trigg is an example, and if Pam Tebo’s (ph) son, Tim Tebo (ph) is an example of the potential for every human life, then so be it. Let Trigg be that example.
I want women to know that they are strong enough, and they are smart enough to be able to do many things at once — including carrying a child. Giving that child life. And then perhaps if they’re in less than ideal circumstances or they’re carrying a child while they’re trying to pursue career, or avocations, or — or education opportunities — less than ideal circumstances.
Giving that child life which it deserves, and then perhaps looking at adoption, or looking at other circumstances after. But not snuffing out the life of a child.”

Dem. lieutenant governor candidate exits Ill. raceCHICAGO – The Democratic nominee for Illinois’ lieutenant governor dropped out of the race Sunday night, ” . . . it has become widely known that he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and holding a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend — a woman who was herself charged with prostitution.”
Announcing his decision at a Chicago bar packed with patrons watching the Super Bowl, a tearful Scott Lee Cohen said the Democrats were not certain they could win with him on the ticket.

And for Californian’s . . . an interesting thought
“Some Democrats have speculated about Senator Dianne Feinstein entering this year’s race for governor in California, but former Governor Jerry Brown actually runs just a bit better against both of the major remaining Republican challengers in the race.”
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_governor_elections/california/election_2010_california_governor
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the Golden State finds Brown leading former eBay CEO Meg Whitman by four points, 43% to 39%. In November, the two were tied at 41% apiece.
Brown has a 10-point lead – 45% to 35% – over State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. He led Poizner 43% to 32% in the previous survey.
Throw Feinstein in the mix, and the race becomes a bit more competitive. She essentially runs even with Whitman, leading the Republican by just one point, 43% to 42%. Feinstein leads Poizner by four, 43% to 39%.

Have you seen a doctor? This seems like a long time to be sick from a bug from slimy water. I’m curious how your water bottle got slimy – how long was the water in there? IF you’re not already taking Vit C, start now or up your dosage alot if you are taking it.
Rancho 02.08.10 at 12:05 pm
Soooooooo sorry, (((Billie Jo)))
Are you SURE it was the water?

I am going to the Dr. in about an hour. Couldn’t go before because I was too sick to drive.
The water in my metal water bottle was maybe 2 weeks old (I don’t remember), on my desk at work….
I’m just assuming I got sick from the slimy water, since I don’t know anyone that has had the symptoms I have……….hopefully the Dr. will let me know.
I have Kaiser, and the last couple of times these Drs. have blown it. Keep asking for my Dr, of course, he is not there when I am sick.
Thanks, I did eat a tiny bit of orange yesterday and must have some Vit. C around here, will take some when I get home.

Please send a message Sen Monserrate must talk a long walk off a short pier.
National Organization for Women-New York State Demands: Expel Monserrate
Politicans Must Stop Playing Games with Women’s Safety
ALBANY, NY (02/07/2010) For a couple of weeks now, rumors have been circulating about the New York State Senate’s upcoming decision to either expel or censure NY State Senator Hiram Monserrate (D), who was recently convicted of misdemeanor assault for slashing his woman friend. Although NYS Senate Conference Leader John L. Sampson (D) has promised a Tuesday, February 9 resolution, he will not say what decision will be resolved.
According to NOW-NYS President Marcia Pappas, “the future of the Democratic Party and women’s safety is in Sampson’s hands.” In view of the fact that Democrats will lose an important Senate seat if they expel Monserrate, Pappas explained: “Democrats can either do what it politically expedient or they can do what is ethically right, by showing the women (and of course all citizens) of New York State that their safety comes first. We hope they will choose the latter.”
In that most rumors predict a decision for censure rather than expulsion, Pappas asks: “Will Senator Sampson give advance warning so that citizens can protest ahead of time? Or will he just spring it on everyone in the form of a ‘privileged resolution’ that needs no committee vote or forty-eight-hour warning?”
Some Republicans are calling for expulsion in their own “privileged resolution.” But such a measure could be voted down and/or the Democratic leadership could easily prevent a floor vote by burying the Republican resolution in a Finance Committee referral.
Pappas concludes that “NOW-NYS believes EXPULSION IS THE ONLY ANSWER.” She adds that “NOW will be holding accountable all Senators who don’t support a vote for expulsion.”

NY Senator Gillibrand said: “Domestic violence has no place in our society, and certainly has no place in the State Legislature. A court of law has found Sen. Monserrate guilty of domestic violence, and I believe he should resign immediately. If he does not resign, then the Senate should move to expel him. We must take a hard line against violence toward women in our society.”

BillieJo,
Was your water bottle metal? Maybe with the bacteria in the water and the bottle gave you Giardiasis. Ask your doctors about it. I got very sick from the water in coming from old pipes in Co. once. It took 6 months before we found out what it really was. Was it bottled water or tap. If it was tap, chances are this might be what you have. Just a thought.
BigCatLover 02.08.10 at 12:38 pm

I know what you mean about being too sick to drive. It used to drive me crazy when I’d call in sick to work and they’d say ‘have you been to the doctor’? I had to wait to get a little better to be able to drive to the doctor. If you had drunk from that bottle and it sat there for 2 weeks, there could be all kinds of microbes growing in it. Antibiotic should do the job, but Vit C would have really helped if you had been taking it. Future information to remember.
I just went out to try to sweep off the foot of snow that is crushing down my bushes, but it was frozen. I was trying to stand in the frozen foot of snow and pull the frozen snow off the bush, when I went flying backwards and landed on my back in the frozen snow. OOOW. Decided to sacrifice the bush, which I never liked anyhow because it is overgrown and I have to keep trimming it, and save my back. Maybe I’ll move to Florida if I ever sell my condo.

Yup, that’s the story, I had drank some of the water in the water bottle and it sat there for awhile, possibly 2-3 weeks. I know I am and idiot. It was bottled water, so I was so thirsty I hoped it was okay. Nope it wasn’t okay, but I learned my lesson.
Off to the freakin’ doctors…I remember our family doctor back in Michigan, when we were sick, he came to our house. How many people kick off because they can just dive themselves in for the long wait in the office, then some white coat gives you about 10-20 minutes of his oh-so-precious time?
