A few quickies:
• A woman in Georgia is in jail because she forced her 12 year old son to kill his pet hamster as punishment for a bad report card. Looks like she flunked parenting.
• A woman in Iowa intentionally fell down a flight of stairs in an attempt to end her pregnancy because she was mad at her husband. Now she's in jail, charged with attempted feticide. Because fetuses have more rights than women.
Don't believe that? A woman in Florida was having a miscarriage. Her doctor ordered her on bed rest. When she asked for a second opinion, the doctor went to court and the judge forced her to remain under that doctor's care and confined her to a hospital bed. This despite the fact that studies have shown bed rest has little effect, if any, in preventing miscarriages and premature births.
• Ass, meet curb: Elizabeth Edwards finally kicked out the lying, cheating scumbag with expensive hair. He says: "I love my children more than anything and still care deeply about Elizabeth."
Notice he didn't say he still loves Elizabeth. He did recently acknowledge that the baby is his. Guys like him can't live alone. He'll be shacking up with Rielle in no time (if he's not already).
• Cheap entertainment. Emphasis on cheap.

My take on the State of the Union
I have a nasty cold that may be transitioning into a bronchial infection. Happy happy, joy joy. This morning, I had a psychiatric appointment at 8:00 a.m. I dragged my ass out of bed and out into the cold, cold 2 degrees only to get over there to find out my psych doc called in sick today. Fuck.
My favorite moment from Obama's first State of the Union address was when he criticized the Supreme Court's decision to grant corporations the same rights as people, which now gives foreign companies the right to buy political ads to influence our elections. Justice Alito mouthed, "Not true." One TPM reader commented:
The Supremes are used to wafting into the House in their black robes, sitting dispassionately through the speech and wafting ethereally out again on a cloud of apolitical rectitude. It's like they forget they're there because they're one of the three branches. And I truly don't think it ever occurred to them that crassly injecting themselves into the sordid partisan fray of what they like to call "the political branches" with that catastrophic decision would cause the President to treat them like people who'd injected themselves into the sordid partisan fray. (And why should they? After all, they got away with Bush v. Gore with barely a dent in their credibility). I even thought I detected a bit of "told you" coming from the four in the minority.
My overall impression from the speech was that Obama still doesn't get it. The reason a lot of people, including me, disapprove of his job performance is because he's not showing enough leadership. Health care reform is the main issue where he's failed. He should have sent a bill to Congress. Sure, they would have picked away at it and still made a mess of the whole thing, but it would have very clearly put him out there saying what he wanted and what he would fight for. Instead, he's come across as very uncommitted, hands off, aloof. Last night's speech was more of the same - he's leaving it all up to Congress.
One more thought about the speech. Somebody needs to do an intervention with Obama. He has to break his addiction to teleprompters. Click here to watch Jon Stewart have some fun with that.

Quote of the day
"With this ruling, the Supreme Court has overturned settled precedent and opened floodgates that will allow special interest money to overrun our elections and turn our democracy into a corpocracy. As a result of this divisive ruling, insurance monopolies will have undue influence over your health care, fat cats on Wall Street will control your money, and big oil will wreak havoc upon the environment. Special interests will drown out the voices of the individual voters."
~ Congressman James Clyburn, on the Supreme Court ruling that corporations are people too
In other words, business as usual.

Quote of the day
Let me see if I have this straight ... If this lady loses, the health care reform bill ... will die. And the reason it will die ... is because then the Democrats will only have an 18 vote majority in the Senate. Which is more than George W. Bush ever had in the Senate when he did whatever the fuck he wanted to do ...
See, it's not that the Democrats are playing checkers and the Republicans are playing chess. It's that the Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are in the nurse's office because once again they glued their balls to their thighs.

Flashback: Katrina
On Tuesday, there was a major earthquake in Haiti. They're estimating the death toll at anywhere from 50,000-200,000. They'll never have an accurate count because, out of necessity, the bodies are being buried in mass graves without ever being identified. A lot of citizens are doing this on their own without the help of their own government (most of the government buildings collapsed and many of the officials are believed dead) and without the help of the so-called rescuers.
To be fair, the vast majority of people who are there to help with the rescue are brave and caring and eager to go above and beyond the call of duty to do anything they can to help. The problem is, the people in charge (one of the problems they're having is that nobody seems to be in charge) are holding up rescue efforts. Tons of food, water and medical supplies have been delivered to the airport. It's almost five days since the first disaster struck and the supplies are still not getting out to the people who need them.
One of the doctors who was commenting for CNN said that now they're having a lot of "stupid deaths." People who were pulled out of the rubble are dying from injuries that are survivable if they were getting treatment. The supplies are there, the medical personnel are chomping at the bit trying to get into the city to help, and the people in charge are holding them back because of "security concerns."
Last night, Anderson Cooper had a follow up on one such case. A 13 year old girl had survived three days in a collapsed building with her leg trapped under concrete. Rescue workers spent hours digging her out. CNN filmed it all with a reporter on the scene. She needed surgery on her crushed leg, which could have been done in a field hospital. The tents, the equipment, the medical supplies and the doctors are all on the ground at the airport and have been there for days. But nothing's been set up. The girl died.
People who should survive are dying from dehydration and lack of medical care. And the "authorities" (Haitian, American and UN) are sitting around with their thumbs up their asses debating what to do. Just like FEMA in New Orleans.
And we have the same Bushian ineptness from our leaders here. Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services, has been on TV talking about how each body will be carefully photographed and DNA samples will be taken so they can all be identified and it's a slow process so families have to be patient. She was saying this even after all the news networks had shown bodies being scooped up from the street, tossed in the backs of trucks and dumped in mass graves. Heckuva job, Kathy.
General Honore, the guy who finally went into New Orleans and kicked ass to get things going, is providing commentary for CNN. On Tuesday, he started talking about what needs to be done in Port-au-Prince, how to organize, how set up medical facilities, how to distribute food, how to help. The first night I saw him, I thought Obama should call this guy and put him in charge. You could tell Honore was itching to get down there, and every day, you can see his frustration growing because the job's not getting done.
MSNBC - the ones who are supposed to be liberal - keep going on and on about security problems and "riots." The only "riots" any of the reporters have seen is when a truck drives up to a site with food and water and hungry, thirsty, desperate people rush forward trying to get some. That's not a riot - that's people trying to help themselves because no one else will help them.
The longer the assholes withhold supplies, the more desperate survivors get. The "security concerns" and "fears of rioting" are self-fulfilling prophecies.
I've barely wasted my time on Fox. It seems like every time I flip through the news channels, they're rerunning clips from Glenn Beck's interview with Sarah Palin before the earthquake.
CNN seems to be doing the best job covering the story. Yesterday one of their anchors, Don Lemon, who happens to be black, made a lot of sense. He pointed out that people are not "rioting" - they're trying to survive.
Last night on CNN, you could see Anderson Cooper's frustration - he was saying the same things I am but a little more eloquently. He and one of the reporters were talking about something that I've heard a couple of survivors say - the international search and rescue crews have focused most of their efforts trying to find people trapped under the collapsed UN headquarters and fancy hotels where the rich, white foreigners were staying instead of going into the neighborhoods to help the Haitians.
This is change we can believe in?

My plecostomus had a feast
I've been having a problem with algae. I just cleaned my aquarium a couple days ago and the algae was already coming back, so I went out and bought a plecostomus last night. They're great because they eat algae and the extra food that falls on the bottom. They're like little elves because they do their work at night. Now, my aquarium is sparkling.Wish I could say the same for my carpet. Girl cat just puked. Like usual, she couldn't do it all in one place. No, it's kack-kack-splat, take a few steps, kack-kack-splat, walk across the room, kack-kack-splat some more.
My blood pressure has been running way high and I'm eating too much sugar and fat. I don't do New Year's resolutions but I did promise myself that I'd try to work on that.
My vision's a little blurry this morning. Which reminds me that the combo of high blood pressure and diabetes can lead to blindness.
At least I didn't go to McDonald's on my way home last night. I have to take better care of myself.

Jay Leno sucks but NBC sucks more
Jay Leno's primetime ratings were so bad, he was dragging down the ratings for NBC local affiliates' newscasts and for The Tonight Show that followed. NBC's solution?
Dump Conan and put Leno back on The Tonight Show.
Conan's comment:
"I just want to say to the kids out there watching, you can do anything you want in life ... unless Jay Leno wants to do it too."
Some days, it doesn't take much to amuse me
About a month ago, I posted a flippant comment on someone else's blog. It was like one sentence, intended to be funny in keeping with the tone of the original post, not intended to be an insult at all. As often happens on the internet, my comment was misinterpreted and the blogger was offended by what I said.
I forgot all about my comment - didn't even go back to see if anyone had responded to it. Until today. I was surfing around various blogs and stumbled across a link to that post, remembered that I had commented, so clicked to see if there was any followup.
The guy had taken the time to google me (the only way he could have found this blog, since it wasn't linked in my profile on that site). And he apparently spent a considerable amount of time reading my blog, going back several months, because he referred to a few specific things I've said here that are scattered throughout my posts.
According to him, I'm a bad writer. So bad that he spent at least an hour reading my blog. He certainly took a lot more interest in me than I've ever taken in him.
This amused me.

If I can figure out how to work my camera ...
I'll take some pictures of the view out my window. There are 2 evergreen trees in the backyard. Their branches are weighted down with snow. They were evenly covered at first, but after the wind we had the last couple of days, one half has tons of snow and the other half is almost bare.
Last night, I heard on the news that we've already had as much snow as we usually get over the entire winter. Here in Iowa, winter can last from October until April. We've also set some new record low temps.
More car drama this week. On Monday my new battery was completely dead. I got a jump start and allowed plenty of time for it to recharge. Later that afternoon, I did some errands and it started great. I thought I might have left an interior light on overnight so I let it pass.
Tuesday morning - dead again. It's been getting down wayyyy below zero every night, but still, the battery is less than a month old. It should start.
I took it back to the place where I bought the battery and they said "Maybe it's the alternator." They took it back to check it and after a half hour passed, I'm thinking, "If they say it is the alternator, do I let them fix it or take it to my other mechanic for a second opinion?"
The battery place is where I usually get my oil changes, brakes and tires. They've always been very straight with me - last summer I went in fully expecting to buy new brakes and they told me my brakes were fine, they were just noisy.
Well, it wasn't the alternator. It was a loose connection. They didn't hook it up correctly when they installed the battery. They were very apologetic and fixed it for free (as they should have). I'm thinking now maybe I could have squeezed a coupon for a free oil change out of them.
Oh well. It's been starting great ever since. I'm probably jinxing myself. We had another cold, cold, cold night last night - about 25 below.
Today's agenda: I HAVE to clean my apartment. HAVE TO.

"Measure my penis and let me get on the airplane."
~ James Carville on full body security scans
What right do they have?
I was reading a blog post from an L&D nurse. She closed comments for the post on her blog so I have to post my comment here. She was talking about a case where the baby died in utero and was delivered still born. The mother didn't want to see the baby, so the nurse took him away. She had to do all the normal weighing and measuring and footprinting even though the baby died.
Then she and another nurse took it upon themselves to "bless" the baby and pray over him. Did the mother give them permission to do that?
It really would have pissed me off if it had been my child. The nurse also couldn't resist mentioning the fact that the mother had previous abortions, and being the right-to-lifer she is, a negative attitude toward the mother really came through. She implied that she had honored the baby's life more than the mother who didn't want to see him.
A lot of people prefer not to see their loved ones dead - they want to remember them the way they were alive. The mother wanted that baby and carried him for 40 weeks before he died. Why would she want to remember him the way he looked dead? The nurse herself mentioned that he wasn't in good shape.
I wouldn't have written this much about it if she hadn't closed comments. More than likely, I would've just said, "Did you have the parents' permission to conduct your own religious ceremony over the body of their dead child?"
If you want to pray, go home or go to church and pray. It's disrespectful to impose your beliefs on someone else's dead baby.

Don't eat the pink snow
Time for some quickies:
• "These days, nobody notices me ... Unless I decide to go out in bike shorts. Then I get some stares." So says the guy with the world's largest penis. He can't find a job so he's living with his mother. Apparently, that's newsworthy.
• Speaking of unemployment woes: People in America who don't have jobs live with their mothers or under bridges. In Japan, they live in plastic cubicles not much bigger than coffins.
• Get these motherfucking snakes off my motherfucking firetruck: Nineteen pythons were living in a trailer park in Utah. The trailer caught on fire and 11 of them survived.
• A guy in Rome stole some candy and a pack of gum because he'd rather spend Christmas in jail than with his family. Been there.
• Because she's a woman, W-O-M-A-N: A chick in England put her Christmas turkey in the oven, went to the hospital to give birth to a baby girl, and got back home in time for dinner.
• A 12 year old Florida girl went missing 24 years ago. Now her brother, who was 15 at the time, has confessed that he accidentally killed her. His mother says he makes up stories to get attention but the police have closed the case because they believe him. No body has been found.
• Hey you, Smarty McSmarterson, with your fancy-ass GPS, I hope you enjoy getting stranded on a mountain road during a blizzard. I'll stick to my paper maps, thank you very much.
• By the way, the phrase I used above (of the Blanky McBlankerson variety) is on the official list of banned phrases for 2010.
• Pink snow. In Pennsylvania.

Praying to the internet gods
It was supposed to get down to 24 below last night and I think it di. Right now, it's 9 below, wind chill is -25, and it's only supposed to get up to zero for a high.
I'm about to go out and try to start my car. Wish me luck.
Update: It started! First try. One of my neighbors was trying to start his and couldn't, even with a jump.

Is that all there is?
Remember that old Peggy Lee song?I've been down in the dumps this week. I had been looking forward to hosting Christmas dinner for my family but it was canceled because of the weather. I didn't finish any of the projects I was doing to prepare for it. I didn't even put up my Christmas tree, which I had been looking forward to since I moved in September.
The good news is that it was easy to get my car out of the snowbank. Our new apartment manager has a snowplow attached to his truck and he's been doing a great job clearing the parking lot. He's the best manager we've had since MLTA bought the place five(?) years ago.
Also, my car has been starting great, even with temps below zero. Now that I've had the struts and the tires replaced, it's as good as my old one on snow and ice.
The main problem I'm having is that I've been binging like crazy. I cooked the 10# ham I bought for my family and I've eaten most of it by myself. I also made a pan of fudge and ate the whole thing myself. My prescriptions run out this month so I have to go in for blood work. My cholesterol was already high six months and my weight was up. It's going to be worse this time.
My doctor doesn't lecture but the nurse who weighs me in and takes my history has this way of giving a look of disgust that she tries to mask as impartiality.
I'm supposed to go to my brother's for "Christmas" on Sunday. It's a 2 hour drive. My other 2 brothers and my mom all live close but the faraway brother refuses to come here. (The canceled get-together that was planned at my place didn't include him and his family.)
It's not so bad that he won't come to see his siblings - none of us are very close. But it pisses me off that he expects Mom to drive down there by herself.
It's almost an hour out of my way to pick her up, which would make it a 3-hour drive for me. I offered to get her but she refused. I'd end up being on the road alone late at night and she says that would worry her too much with possible snow and ice. She's taking an overnight bag so she can stay down there if she's too tired to make the trip twice in one day.
That's all I can come up with to bitch about today. As depressed as I am, it seems like there should be more.
