Re: Where oh where did all the primary care physicians go? | www.WHEC.com

missing piece of this story is that many people are receiving primary care services with their existing doctors, through increased use and presence of Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners, and that places like this Immediate Care center are also staffed with PA's and NP's along with the doctor. And getting great care.

President Obama's behavior, or birth status... have no bearing or consequence on this weasel refusing to move with his unit... he missed a troop movement, refused lawful orders ( it certainly seems, anyway)... and rather than take the consequences, he has mounted this crackpot defense.. with the assistance of some Mel Brooks attorneys?

sniveling weasel behavior, shocking and disappointing for an officer. Shameful collaboration on part of his 'lawyers' if this is best defense.

For goodness sake LTC Lakin... if you have gone this far in the military, cashing the checks and doing the job, and now decided to refuse to deploy, then stand up tall, and take it like A MAN. Be a grown up, stand erect and take your punishment and consequences. But to hang all this on the BS about the birth records of the President... is pure, 100% corn fed, Angus BULL SHORTS.

Take the bust, leave your rank and commission on the desk, and go home with your dishonorable discharge. It is NOT about the birth legacy of someone else, it is about your decision to do/not to do what you made a commitment to do.

what a condescending myopic assessment.

talk about your frackin' racial stereotyping.... cannot believe that a white police officer from Boston area can be well spoken in front of news camera and take on press in articulate manner?

Imagine the cry of "racism" and the like if instead it was a latina woman officer or black officer, and the "objective" media expressed such surprise and shock that they were so well spoken and able to clearly and calmly address that crowd.

And damn straight, anyone in the media "rehearses and preps" before speaking, OR uses a teleprompter, OR says something "stupidily"...

inverse stereotyping and racism, expressing shock that the white Boston Irish police sergeant cannot A] NOT be racially biased and
B] not be capable of public speaking and articulate expression of opinion or fact.

Re: Blitzer Breathlessly Announces the Breaking Beer Summit Video Going Out to the “Entire World” (VIDEO)

ltcpmax — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:23:24 -0000

WOLFIE, you crazy knucklehead!

The sending of THAT video out to the entire world would be, in a word, STOOOOPID! It illustrates that our New President, with all the huge issues pressing on the world and the US, thinks the best use of his time, after admitting in previous footage that while he didn't have the full story he was willing to characterize decisions made (by the police) as "STUPIDITY". They then see our fearless leader, the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, decide the best use of his time is to sit and have a few beers and attempt to ?mediate/ ?remedy/ ?capitalize upon a small incident of heated tempers with racial allegations. THIS is his best decision on how to use his time?
So.. Mr. BLITZER, you breathlessly celebrate the release of this footage to the free world, where they can see that Mr. Obama has a problem sticking his nose/foot/mouth into something resembling a bar argument or shoving match between an experienced police officer (and reportedly a racial relations specialist) and a tired world traveler well educated college professor, who together at best had a few too many heated words trying to sort things out. His house had been burgled once, a well meaning neighbor called 911, they responded, and he ended up being arrested NOT for mistaken identity or burglary or anything beyond losing his temper and disorderly conduct. We all lose tempers now and then. BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO WORK ON THE BIG ISSUES. Not look like some JESSE JACKSON or AL SHARPTON impersonator seeing race issues everywhere and grabbing the microphone to demand attention.

FIX MY 401K Mr. President. Or my Health care coverage. Or my military health care and retirement benefits. Or the racial tensions in the Middle East. Or the Wall Street criminal embezzlements. Fix the Auto industry. Do something BIG, Mr. President. THIS problem was one that should be handled at lowest appropriate level, like a POLICE CAPTAIN or COMMANDER, and the private citizen that was involved.

I had not heard about this on Glenn's show, but had a conversation last night at home about this exact issue... there has been easily several hundred hours of "news" coverage of this "event" where a very influential and controversial music celebrity died of what is apparently DRUG ABUSE/ ADDICTION RELATED CAUSES.

We hear that Congress took a moment of silence to recognize the passing of Mr. Jackson. WTF? Get back to work, Senator! Go check with your office Congresswoman!!!
Where is the daily/weekly moment of silent recognition for our military members who have died in direct service to our country, to the cause of peace and in efforts to make one corner or another of the world a bit safer?

Where is the public recognition of these heroic deaths.. NOT related to celebrity excess, Drug abuse/addiction, and the media circus that has apparently become what is most important in the lives of average American citizens?

EVERY DAMN ONE OF THOSE SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN SHOULD HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND WATCH, phones and pagers switched off, no twittering, FROM START TO FINISH, the video TAKING CHANCE.

The celebrity culture is a shameful embarrassment in this country. This is the silliness where SEAN PENN feels he can and should go to IRaq to try and reason with SADDAM HUSSEIN, and Barely a peep is heard from the mainstream media to even question his actions. Michael Jackson was a gifted musician and a weird and terribly twisted and troubled person, who endangered children, abused drugs, and generally contributed little positive to our culture or country of late.

Jimmy Fallon continues to disappoint with his late night gig. He continues with bad timing, awkward presentation, and stilted transitions between bits. He still seems like a last minute replacement from the writing staff, sent out to cover a show because the host didn't show up in time.

MY SUGGESTION: IMMEDIATELY REPLACE Mr. FALLON with the much superior, always insightful MR. DENNIS MILLER. He always hits his mark, he always knows whats going on, he has educated insightful opinions and analysis of events. GO DENNIS GO.

Shameful disparity. We see moaning and complaining about overseas body counts and ACLU activists demanding to see casualty body/casket returns at DOVER AFB.

BUT when an apparent WINGNUT Islamic Jihadist ( I use this to differentiate from NON violent normal religious Muslims) terrorist, either freelance and crazy or as part of still potential larger group of evil wingnuts, the White House, the mainstream media are nearly silent.

I get tons of coverage and interviews of the slain physician's family/office staff/patients/NOW leadership/sheriff/ WHITE House coverage.. Did Private Long have family, in town? Was he married? What about the survivor soldier PVT Eziquala (Sp?) ? Why is this so shamefully NOT covered? It is expected and understood by those in uniform that they risk their lives, especially in combat assignments. Not likely, nor expected, and CERTAINLY NOT ROUTINE AND NOT NEWSWORTHY to have a recruitment station and active duty military member slain by a WINGNUT within context of apparent PURELY RACIALLY/RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED HATE CRIME.

thanks Mr. President. No need to speak up to protect or reach out to your uniformed soldiers. And really shameful behavior on part of the White House staff... surely someone there is expected to assist the Chief Executive, perhaps draft a statement for him to review and approve? Big building, Big staff, HUGE OVERSIGHT. But hey.. we are able to deploy advance teams, and then stage a media event in THE MIDDLE EAST with the President giving a long speech. How about working in a line about how we in America are smart enough to tell the difference between an extremist abusing the cover of religion to commit heinous acts, and the actual religious teachings of mainstream Islamic culture?

TO THE FAMILY OF PVT LONG and PVT Eziquala (I am guessing on spelling here), on behalf of the many military folks that read and blog along with Ms. U here, I offer condolences and sympathy on your losses. Although the situation was unusual, he died in the service of his nation, killed because he chose to wear the uniform.

a shameful and embarrassing desertion.

Failure to live up to the sacred promise made to servicement and women, yesterday, today... and... unlikely, for tomorrow.
What happened to your nation will stand by you, if injured in the service of your country? IT is already a challenge to get INTO VA system without persistence and a great deal of documentation and evidence to prove you are not lying and the illness/injury is service related. Already, in stead of being accepted in cases of unclear etiology, the basic premise for VA care is if in doubt, reject the claim. And now..they think the answer is to move the financial burden to the already troubled health insurance industry?
How about this... take $200 BILLION back from the Crooks and Idiots at AIG, and give it to the VA. just a thought. All it would do there is repair failing facilities, provide for services and treatment, and TAKE CARE OF VETERANS. But I guess we will instead waffle and cave in, and take more time and money to ensure that investment bankers and brokers get their MILLION DOLLAR BONUS... while the PFC that lost an arm in Afghanistan waits 4 weeks to see a Physical therapist?

i saw the ads when they hit the TV and the magazines and the Sunday paper inserts.
I knew it was cheap trash "collectible" nonsense that would NEVER reach any value near
what they were selling for, and I am also an adult that knows there is always added sting with
"shipping and handling charges." They actually seemed to reveal it was "enhanced" (maybe altered is a better word) actual US coinage. So, it was, just like the related candidacy, a lot of hype and enthusiasm, relabeling and repackaging of old existing (CLINTON ERA) Merchandise... What a terrific metaphor. Seems to good to be true, seems a bit glossy and plastic... seems expensive, but hey, if they sell it on TV/ the internet it HAS to be good, right?

you get what you (over) paid for. And now we see the $800 BILLION remedy stew prepared in a rush in the Democratic soup kitchen. (how's THAT for a metaphor?)

typical grandstanding liberal nonsense (AND ILLEGAL) behavior. They somehow think when they are made privy to such secret military information, that THEY somehow get the wisdom, expertise, and AUTHORITY to declassify it, all in the name of (PICK ONE BY SITUATION) 1] embarrass the (BUSH) administration 2] antagonize an ally 3] gain political capital 4] act like some whiny know it all 5] advance some anit-war, anti-military agenda where the military/national security staff experts cannot possibly be more insightful than they are.

Way to Go Senator Feinstein. Endanger a program. Increase risk to life and limb of the Predator operations and support staff ( aka " US PERSONNEL"), undermine an active operation.... advance your own political power base?

God knows...if at the same setting/hearing, a military member or CIA staffer had made same blunder ( would tend to think them making revelation would be mistake, with Senator F, more likely agenda driven "slip") I am fairly sure the uniformed service person would be about chest deep in hot water and charges, and be facing reassignment to a new desk in the corner of the basement.

GOtta LOVE this conundrum.. CLOSE THE PRISON... Have Hearings... DONT have hearings... MOVE the prisoners... BUT NOT TO My district....

This is where REALITY meets HOPE and PROMISE, and the idiotic level of insight broadcast weekdays on "the VIEW". Problem is..the GITMO detainees are, without serious doubt, all a bad ass bunch of evil doers. So now we decide, lets NOT process them and actually resolve their status, one by one, using established principles of military justice and jurisprudence.... lets stop all progress, and think about justsetting them all free. Somewhere. Or maybe, we should simply TRANSFER the problem... to Alcatraz. Or a Supermax facility somewhere in the west Texas desert. how about ALASKA? Simply moving them doesn't fix anything, except overcrowding on US reservation of CUBA territory.

Not quite so simple a puzzle to solve, is it Nancy?

ignorant statements of stupid crap

They spew nasty racist garbage and gangsta hate
to corrupt and to sour what should be great

Ugly racist statements and unreasoned hate speech
when they get MTV coverage it adds to their reach

The message should be work hard and learn
not grab the cash, be foul, and make things burn

Those pukes earn tons more than nurses like my mom
their rude contributions to society measured by f-bomb

These are the most popular symbols of black culture and style
wonder if any of it makes their mom proud to smile?

Re: The Problem I Have With Timothy Geithner

ltcpmax — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 01:30:35 -0000

from what I have learned (admittedly from MSMedia) and heard, and what I myself know about tax rules/laws, he is NOT a terrific choice.

The expired visa (by 90 days) for one of his household staff is, to me, a non issue. Paperwork moves slowly, renewal notices dont arrive, stuff happens. I would expect a senior level government official to know better, but heck. Immigration, Customs, Border Protection is a busy agency.

HOWEVER, the tax issue, for a guy that has apparently spent his entire adult working live in the world of banking, finance, taxes is a serious breech of ethics, responsibility, and TAX LAW. What I really dont like is he "forgot" to pay his self employment taxes for several years, despite reported multiple written reminders from the IMF to their independent contractor "employees" such as Mr. Geithner. So, he has someone determine he has in fact NOT paid back taxes as required for 2004. He pays up. He forgets, or his inept accountant "forgets," and he doesn't do the proper and common sense thing, and check the tax records for those other years right before that in 2002-2003. and now, OOPS, he is nominated for a cabinet post, and we find out he "forgot" to pay taxes on two other years income, but he has now suddenly paid up.
THIS guy is nominated to be the NATION's accountant. The NATION's TAX ACCOUNTANT. And he either cannot hire competent staff to do his own taxes, or he is too stupid to do his own taxes properly. EITHER WAY, his judgement to select staff seems badly flawed, and or his attention to little details, LIKE TAX PAYMENTS AND PERSONAL INCOME AND CHECKING AGAIN AFTER FINDING ONE ERROR,

Poor ability to supervise staff
Poor ability to select staff (accountant)
poor understanding of a basic tenet of American life : TAXES!
very poor attention to detail.

POOR CHOICE FOR SECRETARY OF TREASURY.

Thank You, Mr President.
as some of the commentators were observing last night, you chose to do what you were elected to do, preserve and protect our nation and our people. You did so without regard to popularity polls or personal interest. You sacrificed much in the service of our country, and I believe when facts are reviewed in proper perspective, you will get credit due. Thank you, Sir.
May God Bless and Protect your family, our servicemen and women, and the United States of America.
