for those of you whom I have alarmed in the past with my awful links to governmental misdeeds, please, I beg of you: don't look. it's like a fucking rejected 80's arnold schwarzenegger vehicle.

so, how are you? I mean, how were you before you read that? I'm feeling truly fucking dreadful.

the poll-less poll:

1. what do you think is your very best physical attribute?

2. what do you think is your very best personality trait?

3. and, finally, what do you think is your very best skill?

by "skill" I mean any skill, whether it is artistic, professional, etc, marketable or not. and by "best" I mean most useful, most highly developed, most unique, most...

hello; it's been a while. how are you?

I don't know if I've mentioned my crazy coworker (CC)before, but if not, I suppose this will be a good introduction: someone came into my office, which I share with CC, and mentioned the tsunami; CC said "well, maybe some good can come of it". and, like my crazy lunatic freak shitbeast coworker, it seems that there...

re: problematic doctor/patient relationships. there was just this great piece in the chicago tribune about how more *women* are becoming doctors. and women doctors - in general - have better relationships with their patients; there is more communication and empathy. so, there are questions about how diagnosis might change in the future - maybe becoming mor accurate. i just thought it was interesting, in light of the discussion of people being afraid to talk to their practicioners as things are now.

the gallery of super-dudes

brass balls? I prefer mine sterling. won't be the first time I was wearing a pair!

I relate far too much to what this dude is saying. if he doesn't make you laugh, then surely you must smell of wee.

between this and this, I can't get as depressed as I'd like to be right now.

also, HAHAHAHAHAHA!...

surprise, surprise: bush's "no child left behind" act harbors a provision that requires public high schools to provide military recruiters with the personal information of all students, so that said recruiters can agressively, legally pursue kids, with or without their parents consent.

one top U.S. Army recruiter says "the only thing that will get us to stop contacting the family is if they call...

these are amazingly ridiculous developments .... argh. so frustrating!

The kids are still free to not join the military..This
disturbs me more:

"Alex Molnar, in Giving Kids the Business, cites several examples of free materials supplied to teachers. From lessons on counting chips, comparing volcanic eruptions to Gushers candies, using the scientific method to compare Prego and Ragu, videos on oil spills produced by Exxon, and environmental education compliments of Proctor and Gamble, kids are either taught to buy products or respect and appreciate the industry from which the information came."

I guess it's more irksome to me because you're pretty much aware of what the military is about by the time the recruiters come, or at least I was when I was 17 or 18, but instilling brand loyalty in a 7 year old in the name of public education seems pretty underhanded. What's next, Joe Camel teaches fractions?

the world is an odd place. i think it works in our favor. wink

doctors are *really* interesting - there was a fair amount of work done a century (or so) ago on establishing them as "reputable." after all, there was a time when home remedies, quacks, and midwives competed pretty successfully with them. i'm all for modern science and medicine - but it does seem there should be a way to mitigate the amount of *control* and *information advantage* enjoyed by the medical profession. (especially since medicine isn't a pure thing - it's really influenced by social preconceptions).

educate yourselves of the dangers and you, too, can enjoy your prostitutes more freely
