Vox: The Green New Deal, explained

newtboy says...

The wolf is not at the door, it's inside the house....you keep insisting that's just grandma with those big teeth....new dentures, you say....grandma has always been hairy, you say....wolves don't exist and are fake news, you say.

Once again you misunderstood and misstated the science....12 years (+-) before the feedback loops make reversing the trend impossible, not 12 years until all ice melts, not 12 years before everyone dies. You just can't help but shout your ignorance from the bell tower. Thankfully, most here know just how often you are correct and gauge your comments with that in mind.

The latest cry wolf story is that we ONLY HAVE 12 YEARS BEFORE DOOMSDAY. Really ?

'Tis sadly true, EDB, the available fare on broadcast television in the U.S. is more painful than the menu at a retirement home whose occupants have not either dentures nor much of an appetite!

Sarah Silverman Voter Fraud PSA 2012

Yogi says...

>> ^chingalera:

Voter fraud. Can any of you in the U.S. with half a brain fail to admit that the PROCESS ITSELF has become a massive ballet of spin, misinformation, & media and political manipulation on a ridiculous scale to the degree that it is done in plain sight without impunity?? The entire process is complete and utter shit.
People involved should be publicly exposed and humiliated and exiled, and you the complicit should be spanked until bottoms are rosy and near bleeding.
Obama is re-elected because he was SUPPOSED to be according to his handlers.


Sorry Honey Boo Boo's on.

EDIT: Ya know what's sad. I made a joke about Honey Boo Boo to point out we're too busy to care about things because we're watching TV. Then the old guy came on the video and I recognized him instantly from a House Episode...I even could quote some of his lines and knew what problem he had (uses too much denture glue). So that tells you a bit about what we're busy doing, and I don't even own a TV.

cito says...

every one of those toddler's in tiaras shows should be locked up for pedophilia.

There was one where the mother had the girls baby teeth all pulled by a dentist, just so she could be fit with adult dentures to give her a more mature smile.

it's just pedophilia

Gingrich: "I'm Deeply Worried"

Bloocut says...

>> ^enoch:

this is pure fear-mongering and nothing more.
be afraid of the brown people and while we do that lets ignore the massive amounts of information giving context to the current situation and lets instead focus on the things that will instill fear.
gingrich is part of the problem.
perpetuating a false dichotomy based on misinformation and hyperbolic language which is meant solely to incite fear and offers absolutely nothing in the form of a resolution or even a modicum of contextual understanding.
gingrish is a consumate politician who pounds the fear drum like a pro.
fuck that opportunistic whore.
he would sell your grandmothers dentures if he thought it would further his relevancy.


You forgot to mention that the National Press Club is a group of persons organized for a political purpose-to hell with those reporting, taping, editing, and broadcasting this treasonous dribble. Create the terrorists then demand action against them??
Americans created this monster through complacency, self-indulgence, and submission to faulty programming. Anyone with an opinion other than that have been bamboozled into thinking there is any other form of terrorism than domestic (by the way, even more so under the current administration), needs their heads scrubbed.

Barney Frank Confronts Woman Comparing Obama To Hitler

quantumushroom says...

When Blarney Frank refers to his ethnic heritage, he means "criminal", right? He belongs behind bars for the rest of his life for his Fannie Mae thievery. With the "free" health care this fat finook is getting, you'd think he could afford decent dentures.

In other news, moonbats were shocked--SHOCKED!!--by a reference to Hitler not involving the name "Bush".

CNN: South Florida's Pain Clinics Or Narcotic Pill Mills?

ReverendTed says...

You touch on another issue that's cropped up in my practice on multiple occasions: back injury.

I cannot count the number of patients whose downward spiral could be traced to a back injury. It's easy to dismiss it as an excuse, but I've seen it often enough to recognize that it's like being shot: sometimes it's luck on how bad it is, some people manage to overcome, and some people don't, but it's a very, very traumatic event where the cards are stacked against recovery.
The following anecdote highlights that issue and another as-yet-undiscussed: there are people who genuinely need pain medication, and there are addicts. It gets particularly thorny where those groups overlap.

As an example, one patient (we'll call him X) related how a morbidly obese man crashed his car into X's front yard. X was attempting to assist the man (who X did not realize was already dead) and threw his back out. He suffered over the next decade through multiple surgeries with the placement, removal, and replacement of pins and rods. (He showed me a plastic sack of parts from a previous surgery.)
In a case like this, several factors conspire against a person:
-Even with insurance, it's expensive. Every penny not spent on absolute essentials goes to medical costs.
-Chronic pain. Many of these people suffer from pain constantly and are perpetually medicated with increasing dosages of narcotic pain medications as their resistance builds. They become dependent.
-Inability to work, both due to the injury and inability to concentrate under constant medication, which in turn compounds the first problem

With the combination of unemployment, constant pain, and continuous medication (and possible dependence/addiction), often these people lose the will to properly care for themselves. As a dentist, I see this in people who gave up caring for their teeth, and then could not afford to fix them as they "rotted out". These rotten teeth become yet another source of infection and pain, and another reason they can't secure a job. X came to me to get the rest of his teeth taken out in preparation for dentures (yet another significant but necessary expense).
He neglected to inform me that he was being treated for chronic pain (and narcotic dependence) at a pain management clinic, but that's another issue.
The problem is that X was having all his teeth out, so post-operative pain is almost a certainty, but not only would you hesitate to give a recovered addict a narcotic Rx, but their tolerance to pain medication is so high that they actually need more than the average person to achieve relief. It's a Catch-22.

This isn't to say back injuries are absolutely life-ending, or to completely discount some degree of personal responsibility, but the recurring pattern of economic hardship, chronic pain, and drug dependence following these types of injuries is impossible to ignore.
