Take a look at the illustration at right. It seems really peaceful and relaxing. Like it's no big deal right? Believe me, they actually try to kill you! I had my first one 2 weeks ago. Now after many years of smoking, drinking, no sleep and various other things I won't mention, I'm not in the best of shape. But up until about a month ago I felt relatively healthy. Then one day my left arm started to feel funny. Kind of a pressure between my shoulder and hand. It came and went for a few days then one morning it got worse. Along with the arm came shortness of breath, hot flashes, etc., etc. I tried to blow it off but then I convinced myself I was having the "Big One". Long story short I was scheduled for the treadmill torture device. I think they used this in Medieval Times when the Iron Maiden was being serviced. After 15 minutes of going faster and higher I had to stop. Not because of any pain in my chest but the rest of my body wore out. It took 2 days for the swelling in my knee to go down. My back and shoulder still hurt and I am having recurring nightmares about the whole thing. After it was over the doctor showed me images of my heart before and after. He said there was no difference. I thought that was a good thing. Wrong! He said they couldn't get my heart rate up enough to get an accurate reading. Oh really? Sea Biscuit's heart rate was lower than mine when he beat War Admiral. So what's next you ask? The Medically Induced Stress Test last week. My suggestion is go with this one first and save yourself the pain. They inject you with some type of nuclear stuff then do the EKG thing. It kinda makes you feel like your heads gonna pop off for a minute or two but other than that it's a breeze. I have to go back this coming week for a few more tests but they're pretty sure I'll live until the bill is paid. I believe that's their ultimate goal. There are a few problems but I don't think (I hope) anything really serious. Anyway I would like to thank all my friends who somehow found out about all this and took the time to call or email me expressing their concern. That means a lot to me. So thanks Jeff, Joe, Joey, John, Phyllis, Johnny T., Boo Boo, Pam, John, Steve, Mary Jo, Melanie, Julia, Jody, Joey G., Sef, Leslie, Andrea, Timmy, Rick, Dad and Marg and many others.

Dick Cheney-Repeat Douche Bag

Take the Test-Get a Check
I thought I would take a short break from adding someone to the Douche Bag list today and pass along the following email I received from a good friend. Disclaimer: I for one don't believe in random drug testing for all professions. (But that's a column for another day). I do however believe that the idea presented in the following email should be implemented.
"I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%. Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck,I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ASS, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though . . . Something has to change in this country -- and soon."
I think this is a great idea. It probably won't ever be implemented because it might "offend" someone or be considered discrimination against the fourth and fifth generation welfare families that have learned how to exploit the system and steal money from the pockets of the honest taxpayers, i.e. Middle Class Americans, of this country.

It Just Gets Worse
Confusion? There is no confusion. He said what he said and it is what it is. It was a statement by a closed minded, arrogant douche bag that knows his followers will believe anything he says.
"John Hagee is one of the Jewish people's best friends," Los Angeles talk show host Dennis Prager said during his program.
Are you kidding me? With "friends" like him who needs enemies?
Rabbi Aryeh Scheinebrg of San Antonio's Orthodox Congregation Rodfei Sholom participated in a press conference in support of Hagee. The pastor is also being defended by David Brog, who is the Jewish executive director of Christians United for Israel.
I don't know who these guys are But defending Hagee and his beliefs is like.....I have no words. He HAS no defense! I have put my foot in my mouth on more than one occasion to the point of buying peppermint shoes. But to say that God sent Hitler to bring the Jews to the promised land is incomprehensible to anyone with an I.Q. above 30. Which explains why his followers believe him.
There is no defending what Hitler and the Nazi Party did during the Holocaust. Evil is Evil. George Bush and his supporters have raped this country. So have the likes of John Hagee and all the other media evangelists that prey on people's fears. They give false hope to desperate families who send them money hoping they can buy their way into Heaven. Well if John Hagee and George Bush are the path to salvation I for one don't want to go.
