Name that pose

Time to bring this blog back from the dead.


Among the calisthenics my daughters are doing for their cross country ski team is a yoga-like pose that looks a lot like "downward dog", but has one leg up.  My sons and I were doing it last night, giving the only appropriate name possible, much to my daughters' disgust.

Obama mandates a volt in every garage; on your dime.

First the Liberal Fascists ordered:
"you have to pass the bill to find out what's in it."

ObamaCare forces citizens to purchase a specific product, in this case health "insurance"... The penalty of breaking this law could range from a fine/tax or even possible imprisonment...

When challenged, the Liberal Fascists now say 'don't act now, just wait and see how ObamaCare unfolds'...

Because they know that once its roots take hold you will never get rid of it no matter how much it hurts our country!

Medical technology R&D

New material could offer hope to those with no voice

The team led by Langer and Zeitels has now developed a polymer gel that they hope to start testing in a small clinical trial next year. The gel, which mimics key traits of human vocal cords, could help millions of people with voice disorders—not just singers such as Andrews and Steven Tyler, another patient of Zeitels'.

About 6% of the U.S. population has some kind of voice disorder, and the majority of those cases involve scarring of the vocal cords, says Sandeep Karajanagi, a former MIT researcher who developed the gel while working as a postdoc in the Langer lab. Many of those are children whose cords are scarred from intubation during surgery, while others are victims of laryngeal cancer.

Other people who could benefit are those with voices strained from overuse, such as teachers. “This would be so valuable to society, because every time a person loses their voice, say, a teacher or a politician, all of their contributions get lost to society, because they can’t communicate their ideas,” Zeitels says.

Don't give up hope. Medical technology has come a long way and the best is yet to come. I've moved on from developing cardiac devices and am now on the forefront of implantables and devices for microsurgery and implantable biologics.

Obama supporters: Go elsewhere for health care

A Mount Dora doctor posted a sign telling Obama health care supporters to go elsewhere.





"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

Obama Law mandates WalMart purchases.

Landmark historical legislation signed by Obama will force Americans to make a monthly purchase at WalMart, weekly purchases at Walgreens, and one visit a year to Wall Drug.

Well, not really, but he did sign a law mandating you buy health insurance.

What next? Maybe a mandate to buy lots and lots of K-Rod's widgets (TBD)!!!!! Cha-ching!!!

Vulgar Bill, indeed it is, Mr. VP.

Vice President Slo Joe Biden said the ObamaNationHeathCareTakeover bill is vulgar:

Big F***ing Deal



No Class!



Will this get as much media coverage as telling Leahy to go Cheney himself?

Will the FCC fine and censor Biden?

You're too stupid to understand the health care takeover

Obama supporters claim he is so articulate and soooooo smart... ...brilliant...
...and that he has such a large vocabulary and that he really knows how to use it...
...haavid law review... ...such a very, very, high IQ... eloquent... very very eloquent... soooo articulate...

Then, in his state of the union speech, Obama said he just didn't explain ObamaNationCare well enough for Americans to understand.

Well, there you have it folks, Obama said Americans aren't smart enough to understand.

Stupid Americans, eh Mr. President.

Support Government Health Care and You'll Never Die

Wow, now they can guarantee that with government healthcare, you won’t die! Here’s what Harry Reid said:
"Today we vote whether to even discuss one of the greatest issues of our generation – indeed, one of the greatest issues this body has ever face: whether this nation will finally guarantee its people the right to live free from the fear of illness and death, which can be prevented by decent health care for all."
Immortality at last!
