Sunday Dental Thread: express edition

I'm going to see Philly Pops perform the Music of James Bond this afternoon.

Rethug patient of mine came in this week- a real abusive asswipe. We we talking and he said to me, "Well, Obamacare is going to kill me, so I've decided to be cremated." I said, "Hold on, I'll get my coat and accompany you."

He actually thought it was funny.

A thought about the dinner last night....

I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday steak and garlic mashed potatoes...

Actually, what bothered me most about the Correspondents Event was the attitudes of that despicable Ed Henry and that equally repulsive Brett Baier. The former could not begin to hid his disgust for the President, both in body language and tone. When this putz was with CNN he continuously attempted to belittle the President at press conferences and interviews, and sneered every time he would report from the White House. His nervousness when delivering his lines last evening, as evidenced by his constant licking of his lips and weird mouth movements, showed that he had a lot of false bravado when he was writing those words, but started to have a little Freeper Remorse, because the man and his wife to whom he was directing his hostility were sitting right there. Another "Tough Guy" in his own mind, he to his own surprise found it difficult to look at the President through the entire affair.

Baier, whose scorn for any ideology Left of Ted Cruz is legendary, mumbled something about "no matter who is President..." And I found that to be a pretty scummy remark, which is what you'd expect from the likes of him.

So what we had was FOX "News" managing this dinner...perhaps it was executed in this fashion due to the ridiculously overwrought argument that the media consists of then"Liberal Elite". One look around that room would tell anyone with an IQ in positive numbers that that just doesn't exist. In a way Sarah Palin was correct, but not for the reasons she and her followers might proffer: if last night proved anything to the relatively few folks who were watching, it was that politicians come and go, but the "Lamestream" Media Moguls are Forever. They are the true Royalty of America, for they can select who is crowned King. If you doubt that, ask Jon Huntsman why, with the best credentials, the best mind, the best oratory, the best education, and the best resumé, among Conservatives of course, why he was deliberately shoved to the "Back of the Bus", time and again. He was written off before he began - and if you think that he had some fundamental problem, can you sit there and say that Rick Perry, once the laughable front runner, as they termed him, had fewer problems? Or Michele Bachman? No, contrary to Bush 43, they are the deciders, not the candidate, and I for believe, that the President isn't either. The Moguls are the Lord High Executioners and wield their swords with ease and with all the conscience of your garden variety sociopath.

How does Ed Effing Fox Henry get to be Prez of the WH Correspondents?

Brett Baier just took a swipe at Prez..."whoever happens to be President"....wouldn't have said that if Bush Jr were up there with him.

C-SPAN Is showing the brunch for the correspondents and it looks like a scene from

Boogie Nights.

Weird conglomeration of folks.

I'm not too bright,

So I need an explanation of Andrea Mitchell's ad on MSNBC wherein she describes herself as a tough-as-nails reporter who can compete with the big boys. To exemplify how tough she is, she relates the story of when she questioned the ruler of Somalia (I believe) and asked him why he was killing the residents of Darfour. At this point, she says, the goons took her and removed her from the room. She then states that this exemplifies why she won't be shoved out of the way, and that she can hold her own.

But she WAS pushed out of the way when the thugs pulled her out of the room. I mean, kudos I suppose for asking the question, but in fact, according to her own story, she was peremptorily removed.

I've listened to this ad about 200 times, and it still doesn't make any sense. Am I missing something? Enquiring minds want to know!

I for one do not believe that all of this is for one individual -

or one small nuclear family. Blackhawk helicopters and the military are called in for several reasons, none of which involve one lone 19 year-old and his helper or two.

This is very serious and stretches far beyond that which is being reported by the MSM.

So WTF were they up to at MIT?

What were they doing or getting ready to do that the MIT police were called or noticed them?

Enquiring minds want to know!

John King's word for the day: BOLO

Be on the lookout for...

He's only said it about 437 times in the last half hour. Must have learned it today...and he's so proud of himself!
