Just got my doctor's bill from last month. *wince* Christ, looking at the itemized list of what amounted to about 15 minutes with my doc and a few fairly simple bloodtests was alarming. I'm fully covered and I still owe quite a bit, I can't even begin to imagine what something like this would cost an uninsured person. Wait, yes I can 'cause I can see all the charges. The best part is that I never even got the results of one of the tests that cost close to $300. I have an appointment tomorrow to talk to her about some ongoing stomach issues and I intend to find out the results of that test then.

I sincerely hope I won't need further expensive tests, I'm not entirely sure I can afford them.

Well this certainly perked me up this morning, Bush's approval rating is down to 35%, and as No More Mr. Nice Blog points out, that means "the ship is taking on water faster than the Bushies can bail."

All well and good, but Digby wonders aloud what it would take to wake up the remaining 35%, and asks readers to come up with their own ideas. I'd like to open the floor up here to the debate:

What more could Bush inflict on us that he hasn't already done, to make matters so bad his approval ratings would fall to a more reasonable, but still alarmingly high, number, say 10%?

And yes, eating live kittens on tv has already been suggested.

Best. Book Review. Ever.

General JC Christian on Michelle Malkin's new book:

I doubt I'll ever finish it., November 2, 2005

I want to like Mrs. Malkin's book, but I'm really struggling to get through it. Every ten pages or so, I'm overcome with the urge to get out my big bag of M&Ms and segregate out all of the brown ones. I then take these "unter-kandies" and lock them away in a baby food jar where I taunt them while touching myself inappropriately.
