New Event: Live Roundtable – “The Weekly Planet”

Pepe, do you think that it may be just ignorance on how legislation is passed? That their first foray into politics was the Obama election? That is why I picked this inane screen name for HP. I thought I could add a little knowledge of history and Civics101. Man was I fooled.

Ed is beginning to be a great deal like HP, IMO. He hit the big time and he likes it there. Gotta make that controversy to get the listeners to get the money. I liked him so much more when he just came out of N.Dakota.
He shows his ignorance on how the “sausage” is made.

Faux News Demagoguery Now Politicizing Women’s Health

javaz, you know a bit of my medical problems, so with that I say: Don’t lose hope. It may not shine brightly all the time, but don’t lose it. This bill is the closest on HC since it was first brought up in 1912.
1912-2009. Piece of cake 😉

According to HHS Secretary Sibelius (sp), as I heard on NPR, any change in fee scheduling for mammograms or pap smears has to go through her. She promised that they will not change under her. She went on further to say that all women should use their own guidance along with her doctor. Do not change a thing.
FWIW

Cancers are/ may be classified as an auto-immune disease. so many things are from some allergies, colds, eczema, dermatitis,RA, MS,polio….It all gets way beyond my knowledge quite quickly. T-cells(1-15) not working with B-cells (1-18). And on and on!

Having had to go through some crash courses on “auto-Immune” diseases, I learned some interesting things. One researcher gave a lecture on the fact that the human body has around 6 Billion DNA switches. What, When, Why, How do this switches turn off/on and in what combination.
He said this is the question that researchers are up against. Why does one get MS and someone else get RA?
Why is my body attacking itself?

Javaz, perhaps you like to take a few minutes and listen to this from NPR this morning:

javez, that is kind of you saying that, but let’s not get carried away. I’m a mean old fart. 😛

Why they do not use Echo scans is beyond me. Perhaps it is like QK says that the machinery that they sell (for mammograms) brings in a larger profit. My only objection with echos is that jell is cold (grin)

My nurses in oncology were true saints

to use your words:That is so fucking infuriating.

Agreed!!

Let’s see, Mammogram discomfort for a short time VS cancer?
Self exam VS cancer?

Having lost both parents to cancer(and being the primary caregiver)and now having cancer myself(in remmision), let me just state:

CANCER SUCKS!!!
And you may quote me.

She found the lump in a routine self-exam. I bugged many people about the blood tests and the protein markers for breast cancer(best cancer researched for the markers). I was told too expensive…Who’s gonna pay?
My reply was ” you do the test for the markers every week now that she is under treatment for cancer, Why can’t they be done BEFORE women have cancer? Do one yearly along with a mammogram. I was/am PO’D about this.

Steroids are fun…and then you crash. I had them in my chemo regime.
“How am I?” No matter what, I am good. I am too familiar with much worse. 😛

To quote the many shits, hats, bags…. that I see at my cancer clinic.
“CANCER SUCKS”

What a pile of shit! (excuse me)

My mother had a clean mammogram (she had a family history of beast cancer). Six months later she had a ‘smaller than a dime’ sized lump in her breast. 2 years later she was dead (RIP).
Hello, Kalima, I know there is no need to ask. Better today? (I hope)

Are the GOP the New Sissies?

Since you made me get the dictionary out, I think I’m leaning to “poltroon”.
A mean-spirited ,lazy coward
A sluggard

Made me get the dictionary out 🙂

I have always used the word “sissy” as weak/coward since grade school in the 50’s.
“Dare You” “Double dare!” “Go on, you sissy, you first”

Another reason to be scared ” dems want another attack so they can get a jobs bill

javaz, What do you think, give KSM to Sheriff Joe?

» Posted By bito On November 18, 2009 @ 9:57 am

Think he will have the courage to ‘fess-up on the Valerie Plame/Wilson situation? Or why it took him 5-6 appearances at the grand jury to get his story straight?

Speaking of Wussies, This just in my mail box:
Former Bush adviser Karl Rove’s memoir will be released on March 9, 2010, and be titled “Courage and Consequence.” In a new statement, Rove said that the book will be “a frank account of what I witnessed and my often-controversial role.” Last year, Rove said that he was planning to “name names” of the people who never “accepted” Bush as a “legitimate president.”
Catchy title, eh? What the hell does he now about “consequence”?
