When we stop giving people such as him so much attention, perhaps they will go away. Notice that we didn’t hear much from Palin for at least 4 days! It seemed so quiet on the news front without her stirring things up. But she made up for it on Wednesday morning. She’s baaaack! But I don’t think the media is going to “bite” (as in taking her bait) like they’ve done before. I really hope I’m right on that, for the sake of this nation. Congress and we citizens need to concentrate on any this nation to work agin, on helping those who are suffering from the jobs being shipped overseas, and from this danged COLD winter we’re having! (All states in the Union had snow on the ground yesterday — except Florida. That’s cruel and inhuman, in my book!!!) It seems like there is a more civil tone today inspite of the fact that the inuendo stuff is still there. I read a posting at her FB site that was giving her a pep talk — Stand tall, Sarah; We need to keep working hard to elect people who love this country.” (I’m paraphrasing here.) The inference, of course, is that the Dems do NOT love this country, but the poster denies that he meant that. There have been times that a Dem has done the same thing. Regardless of who does it, it amazes me that they can really believe people can’t see through them. Maybe, though, they really can’t see the forest for the trees. That is the thing that makes some of these folks very scarey.

I practiced in rural Alabama for 7 years (Cullman). Our hospitals took care of plenty of indigents with MIs, and did a damn fine job, too. I also practiced in New Zealand, under an NHS, and the care they gave was awful in comparison.
