Displaying 3,001 To 3,030 Of 3,333 Comments How about “stark raving batshit crazy”??? I can think of few things any worse! » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:45 am Abby, sorry I’m a little late in replying to your comment, but I guess since you are in the UK, you don’t know about Rush and his little drug problems. He was found out to have been getting HUGE amounts of drugs like Vicodin and other narcotic drugs by doing what we call “doctor shopping” as well as buying them on the black market. He had his housekeeper buy drugs for him. Yes, he was badly addicted and went through rehab. It remains to be seen if he is “clean” or not. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:34 am Nope! Not at all! A nurse would be liable to lose her/his license by doing so. That is a sacred “no no”! I would personally love to see those notes. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:30 am Morning, nellie! Hope you are well! I can’t see how it would be possible for the government to place air marshalls on ALL flights. I think the guys in Amsterdam really dropped the ball. Maybe they haven’t realized that this little problem of terrorists wanting to blow up airplanes is an INTERNATIONAL problem. There was a big hoopla about the bomb-sniffing dogs and something about people’s crotches! I don’t think I want to go there! Oh, how I despise the MSM! I’m with you on that one! » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:22 am You’re right boomer! Mind you, I didn’t say that I agreed with the criticism…just that she’s taken a beating in the press. That’s all the press seems to be good for these days…beating up anybody on the President’s team. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 10:18 am Thanks, 4cats. Janet has been taking a beating in the press since she made that comment about how our “system worked” when the guy tried to blow up the plane on Christmas Day. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:08 am You’re correct about the prednisone, bit. Prolonged use can cause all kinds of problems, including “moon face” and Flush sure has one of those. I did see a recent interview with him and he appeared to have lost a few pounds. For that, I’ll give him credit…but that’s ALL he gets credit for! What a putz! » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:04 am Hey Kes, I hope your patient is doing well today! Don’t forget to give him my best wishes for a speedy recovery! He sounds like such a neat man! » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 9:01 am As an old ER nurse, I can tell you that if this blob of a man came in with chest pain bad enough to send him to the hospital, the first thing they would have done is to give him pain medication to help alleviate his fears as much as relieving his pain. Anxiety and pain only put additional strain on the heart. IV pain meds can quickly help with both. A dose or two or morphine can sometimes work wonders. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:43 am Heh heh! So right you are, Kes! Especially a bald, aging, FAT man! Yep, he’s just the one to pontificate on the state of health care! » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:38 am Good morning, Planet! I trust everyone is well today! It is snowing (AGAIN) here but the worst part is the temperature…12 degrees with a wind chill factor of -8!! BRRRR! I’m so glad I don’t have to go out! Boomer, sorry about your ride! I hate it when that happens! Perhaps the money fairy will deliver if she doesn’t freeze to death! And congratulations to abby for publishing her first article! She is so delightful! As for Rush, I won’t admit to the dark thoughts I’ve had in the past couple of days! Of course he got the best of care! He has a solid gold insurance policy to pay for everything…and millions in the bank for make up for any deficiency in his coverage! I find his arrogance more than I can stomach, especially in the morning. Enough rambling! I must continue the housework today. 🙁 My house really needs what my granny used to call a “through”…like going “through” the house and making sure everything is ship-shape. Oh, wait a sec….I forgot! There are articles to write, books to read, research to do. I don’t have time for a “through”! Have a great day, everyone! I’ll be back later! 🙂 Edit: I have no news on my friend’s mom yet today. I will post an update as I get any information. Thanks to you all for your wonderful support. » Posted By Emerald1943 On January 2, 2010 @ 8:30 am Campaign Finance Reform Revisited Hey there, j! I’m glad you’re here! 🙂 This is one of those “chicken or the egg” questions…which came first? How much money do the media corporate interests pay our republican friends? » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 3:39 pm Thanks, my friend! I really feel passionately about this! Your suggestion is a good one about working for the states to develop their own financing. I have a friend who is a state senator in North Carolina. I think it might be good to contact him. Trying to do anything at a national level will only just get bogged down in partisan politics. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 3:24 pm I don’t have the quotation handy, Sue, but Jefferson also wrote about the same thing even before Lincoln. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 3:21 pm Huffington Post AKA It’s All Obama’s Fault: This Week’s Meme Obama Weak on Terror Interesting perspective! I know the genie is out of the bottle, but I wonder what things would be like if we didn’t have that darned 2nd amendment. (Oh boy! I’ll bet I’m gonna’ get grilled on that comment!) » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 5:09 pm Faster than “the speed of gravity”??? I didn’t know gravity had any speed! This sounds like something on a tea bagger sign! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 5:03 pm Kinda’ reminds me of Mitch McConnell! LOL » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 4:57 pm How about the Scots? Arrest all those redheaded “terrists” wearing skirts!!! LOL » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 4:56 pm The day I gave up on CNN was on a Sunday show with John King. He was interviewing Peter Orszag about the economy. His question was, “Is President Obama so timid that he’s afraid to get his hands dirty?” That is a verbatim quote that absolutely frosted me!! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 11:00 am LOL! I know what you mean! I am still doing the same thing! » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:57 am One point I thought was interesting…Congressman Alan Grayson was interviewed a couple of weeks ago on MSNBC. He stated that there were over 100 bills sitting in the Senate that had been passed by the House but not taken up in the Senate. The Senate is not doing its job! The republicans somehow seem to be able to hold up everything. It’s total gridlock! What is it with these guys?? 🙁 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:56 am I generally like McClatchy. They seem to be more objective than many others, although I don’t read it regularly. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:36 am There are still some out there that insist that 9/11 was no terrorist attack, that it was an inside job. In that case, Perino would have been correct! LOL » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:31 am Most welcome! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:30 am Nellie, OT but I went back and re-did that campaign finance piece and just posted it. Hope this will be okay. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 10:19 am I believe it was called “Campaign Finance Reform” but I will go back and check. If you think it’s OK to re-post with a bit of re-writing, I will do that. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 8:37 am Sorry, Nellie! I didn’t see that! My bad! But the MSM is guilty as sin of promoting any disagreement, no matter how small. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 8:35 am I believe the problem with DeMint runs deeper than his hatred for unions. The appointee happens to be a very well-qualified black man. I’m just sayin’…. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 8:31 am One of the first articles I posted here was on that very subject. Is there any way to re-post it? I believe this subject to be of the utmost importance. » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 8:25 am Take a deep breath, boomer! You are among friends! 🙂 » Posted By Emerald1943 On December 29, 2009 @ 8:23 amComments Posted By Emerald1943
