Megan - My head hurts.

8:54

Megan's Brain - Yeah, it isn't pleasant up in here today.

8:54

Megan - The news just sucks today. Everyone sucks today.

8:55

Megan's Brain -

That's what Obama gets for daring to talk about race.

8:58

Megan - Ugh:
“He can’t break character now,” said Michael Fauntroy, a public policy professor at George Mason University. “The character that America bought was a race-neutral guy who wasn’t going to mention race in any meaningful way.”

No, that's the character white America bought and black America was worried they were getting.

8:59

Megan's Brain - Duh, Megan, America is only white people. Everyone else just gets to be here. Pat Buchanan told us so.

9:06

Megan - I'm still wondering how this city went from Ed Koch to Rudy Giuliani and now Bloomberg.

“The president was absolutely right on target in his comments last night,” said former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, no stranger to the complexities of police-community relations. “You couldn’t have a clearer situation when you have a guy who is well-known in a small community standing in his own home.”

9:07

Megan's Brain - Money.

9:07

Megan - Right.

9:09

Megan's Brain - There's also this:

But Obama said in an interview with ABC News that he was surprised by the controversy over the statement “because I think it was a pretty straight forward commentary that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home."

9:11

Megan - Andrew Cuomo knows what that's called.

9:11

Megan's Brain - Fuck, speaking of the Department of Electoral Stupidity, I can't believe New Yorkers are going to elect that racist asshole governor.

9:11

Megan - Two words: George Pataki.

9:15

Megan's Brain - Fuck. God, I hate this day.

9:17

Megan - Oh, well, then, this won't help. It's making the rounds of the teabaggers, courtesy of a guy in the American Medical Association hierarchy.

He describes it as "funny stuff."

9:18

Megan's Brain - What exactly is "funny" about that?

9:19

Megan - Nothing, man, absolutely nothing.

9:19

Megan's Brain - Seriously, it's making the pounding in here worse.

9:21

Megan - At least the ontolaryngologists of the world remain reasonable. Sort of.

We, too, are in favor of evidence-based medicine that supports quality patient care. President Obama’s statement highlights the complexity of medical decisions like this. However, the AAO-HNS is disappointed by the President's portrayal of the decision making processes by the physicians who perform these surgeries. In many cases, tonsillectomy may be a more effective treatment, and less costly, than prolonged or repeated treatments for an infected throat.

9:21

Megan's Brain - Tonsilectomy: the best surgery I ever had that my doctors put off for 18 years.
