Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

This fight is for everything.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Off To the Doctor

by | 27 Comments

This post is in: 

A bug bit me on the lip while I slept and it is now painful and grotesquely swollen, so I am off to the doctor.

I will be back later, depending.

*** Update ***

Just some bit- Zyrtac for the swelling, which I can’t take until tomorrow since I already self-medicated with Benadryl. The Benadryl has given me a serious calse of the sssllloooooowwwwwwwssssssssss.

    didn’t you know you’re not supposed to let the bedbugs bite?? that’s probably why you haven’t been sleeping….you don’t know how to do it properly.

    J/K….hope it all turns out ok at the doc.

    John…just pay that hooker what you owe her and she won’t bite. Unless biting IS what you paid her for.

    Hopefully it’s not the assassin bug. That’s a painful bite. I was living in Central America for a while and a couple places down there had the ones that carry Chagas disease, but I don’t think it’s very common up here at all.

    I guess ‘Don’t let the bed bugs bite’
    more than just an expression.

    Hope the lip is better.

    Eminem just went to the hospital to be treated for an addiction to sleep medication. John Cole went to the doctor for some mysterious “ailment”. John Cole has had trouble sleeping of late. The question is obvious: is John Cole really Eminem?

    And SomeCallMeTim cuts through the fog to get at the heart of the greatest mystery of our times.

    Damn, but that sucks. Hopefully, the doc is doing tests for foreign biologicals. This happened to me once, and very painful it is.

    And I agree with the insomnia being a bitch-and-three-quarters. Unfortunately, Benedryl doesn’t work too well on me. Nor do OTC sleep aids. (And no primary physician, or cash, to get scrip for Lunestra.)

    Ah, good old Zyrtec.

    I take the stuff whenever my allergies flip out, and it works like a charm. It doesn’t knock me out too bad (unlike Comadryl), though it does give me a wicked case of cottonmouth.

    John, hope you’re feeling better. I know about bug bites. Last year I was mowing grass in a corner of my property where I don’t usually mow and wound up getting stung on the legs by about 8 yellow jackets. It itched like crazy for a few days, but I survived …the first assault. A week later, in a different corner of the yard, another damn underground hive. Only four bites that time but I developed some kind of allergic reaction that made my calf swell up and the skin took on a texture akin to plastic. I wound up in the emergency room a couple of nights later where they mainlined some anti-biotics into me. The doctor said the infection probably would’ve spread to my entire leg if I had waited another day. Lovely.

    Can we take a minute here and congratulate President George W. Bush and his shattering of Ronald Reagan’s vacation record today? Perhaps the greatest thing Bush ever did for America is getting out of Washington and sitting on his perfumed ass down in Texas.

    I got stung by a bee today, and am fairly to highly allergic, brought out an anaphlax kit thats been in my glove compartment for five years (three years expired), through hot and cold. It seems to have worked, I’m not dead, just a swollen hand. Did the tourniquet deal on and off, though wouldn’t recommend that for your lip.
