Update on my mom

She had surgery a few weeks ago and they cut a lump out of her breast. They also cut a bit of her lymph node out from under her arm to check if there was anything odd in it. Apparently there was something odd in the lymph tissue. They don't think it's from the cancer that was in the lump the removed because they caught that very early. She is going in to talk to an oncologist (same one I had) and see what's up.

The surgery she has had was very painful. This is the second time she's had something cut out of her boob. Last time was back in the 90s. She said she isn't gonna let em keep cutting away like that, it's too painful and stressful. Instead she said she might just have them take off both breasts and be done with it. On the one hand, that seems kind of extreme to me, but on the other hand, I'd hate to have to keep going to the hospital to be cut up piece by piece.

Tiny car

I want one of these.

I should test drive it first though to make sure I don't cramp up immediately upon entering it.

The Smart Roadster on this site is spiffy too.

They need to start selling these things in America.

Is Bush Wired?

Is George W. Bush wearing a wire during the first debate?

I think he was. Many other people think he was too. Now that people are watching for it, I wonder if Dubya's handlers will not let him use help tonight during the 'debate'.

I actually want to watch it just to see how George does. Maybe he will cancel. Take off for Alabama to help with a reelection campaign or something.



You can clearly see a bulge there on his back and a wire leading toward his ear.

This is a good article about Bush's public speaking style and how it has changed over the years.

I like the bit where McCain bitchslapped him in 2000 on the Larry King Show. I wish I had a video clip of that.

On February 15, four days before the vote, Bush and McCain appeared together on Larry King Live (along with Alan Keyes, the motormouth former ambassador, who was still in the race). Beneath a smile, McCain was seething. Two weeks earlier he had pulled off a surprising victory over the much better financed Bush in New Hampshire. Bush had responded in South Carolina by attacking McCain mercilessly from the right. On Larry King, Bush and McCain traded complaints about unfair negative campaign ads. Bush's complaint was that McCain had run an ad comparing him to Bill Clinton. "That's about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary!" he said.

McCain held a tight smile. "Let me tell you what really went over the line," he said shortly afterward, when asked by King for a reply. At a recent Bush rally Bush had stood alongside someone McCain called "a spokesman for a fringe veterans' group," who had denounced McCain for "abandoning" Vietnam veterans.

With feigned politeness, McCain told Bush, "I don't know if you can understand this, George, but that really hurts. It really hurts." No mention of McCain's service as a military pilot, nor of his imprisonment and torture in the "Hanoi Hilton"; everyone knew what McCain meant. McCain turned to King. "And so five United States senators—Vietnam veterans, heroes, some of them really incredible heroes—wrote George a letter and said, 'Apologize.' You should be ashamed."

Bush sputtered, "Let me speak to that ..."

McCain faced him again, calm but contemptuous: "You should be ashamed."

Gratuitous video clip of the POTUS doing his thing.
Fool me once...shame on...shame on you.... fool me can't get fooled again

Backward Masking

A while back I made an LJ post where I commented on backward masking and wondering what ever happened to that.

Here is a nifty website that has some examples of what I am talking about. The one for Another One Bites the Dust is kinda cool.
