No computers, no cell phones, no work—it was lovely. We walked on the beach and flew kites every day and read books and ate like horses every night—good times! When we got back I had another appointment with the retina specialist and got some very good news: I won’t need a fourth injection for a while, if ever. <br /><br />I’m lucky in that I have insurance, but so far I’ve had to wait for over a month each time for the insurance company to authorize my treatments—and while I'm waiting for authorization I always expect to be turned down because I’ve exceeded some arbitrary limit. Oh: And they won’t even pay for the drug, I have to! And I’d be screwed if I ever lost my job and either needed to purchase my own policy or to get insurance through another employer, because then I’d be blacklisted on account of my “pre-existing condition.” <br /><br />So whenever I hear politicians say “socialized medicine” means delays in treatment or compromised care, I think to myself, “That sounds exactly like what I’ve got right now, minus the premiums, co-pays, and nagging insecurity!” <br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/universal+health+care" rel="tag">universal health care</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/socialized+medicine" rel="tag">socialized medicine</a>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541120075752785652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103050.post-23749959303656728992009-04-12T09:19:00.000-07:002009-04-12T09:45:44.922-07:00Happy Zombie Jesus Day!I always wondered why chocolate is toxic to dogs...<br /><br /><object width="370" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyLQIKl97Es&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyLQIKl97Es&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="370" height="340"></embed></object>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541120075752785652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20103050.post-30116788343403547802009-03-09T21:37:00.000-07:002009-03-09T22:02:57.130-07:00Same Old, Same OldI just got back from Switzerland, and tomorrow I leave for the UK.

"There are millions of people around this world praying to their God -- whether it's Hindu,** Buddha, Allah -- that [McCain's] opponent wins for a variety of reasons," Pastor Arnold Conrad said. "And, Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens."</blockquote>I have a couple of questions for this <s>dumb hillbilly</s> <s>piss-ignorant hick</s> pastor and his ilk: First of all, are you <i>really</i> so poorly informed that you think Hindu and Buddha are gods? Secondly, aren’t Christians supposed to be <i>mono</i>theists? And finally, why should an allegedly omniscient and all-powerful deity give a rat’s ass about the opinions of mere mortals? <br /><br />Jesus F. Christ, these people are a national embarrassment.<br /><br /><br />*Really? “Lord, I pray for divine intervention” only <i>seems</i> like a prayer for divine intervention?<br /><br />** Pastor Conrad's conception of The Great and Powerful Hindu:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7d5P4-gbrXcrlYwyn9nZZc1LLRvMKu2IKeOZCJAv50cHuf-NWZoVONJ23i5R9f3tG4hlLnllRI6IdJ5MjzuEQ4Nd4vuSHv5y2Jrpy6RbFTGoaodVIbpX3OKNZLxTXZ8pK_Rk/s1600-h/jambi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-7d5P4-gbrXcrlYwyn9nZZc1LLRvMKu2IKeOZCJAv50cHuf-NWZoVONJ23i5R9f3tG4hlLnllRI6IdJ5MjzuEQ4Nd4vuSHv5y2Jrpy6RbFTGoaodVIbpX3OKNZLxTXZ8pK_Rk/s400/jambi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256349983327102722" /></a><br /> <br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/religion" rel="tag">religion</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/fundie+follies" rel="tag">fundie follies</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pastor+arnold+conrad" rel="tag">pastor arnold conrad</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/w+t+f+?" rel="tag">wtf?</a>leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541120075752785652noreply@blogger.com0
