1/16: Osama For President, Cuba For Surgeries
8:30 p.m.
• I forgot about this. On the drive to work this morning I noticed a truck with a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker stuck on its rear bumper and a Bush/Cheney decal on its back window. Cool, I guess. I see so many damn Kerry/Union bumper stickers around Shittsburgh it's not even funny. Well, it is but I digress. Anyway, this guy also had some label hung up on his truck. I don't think it was a sticker, but who knows -- it was 6:15 a.m. What did this sticker-thingy say? Tool. I'm pretty sure it was unintentional, but it still got a laugh out of me.
• So Mrs. kkk's boss at the pizza shop gave her a b-day card. It was a picture of a gorilla and on the inside he wrote "Happy MLK Day." This also got a laugh out of me.
• And I thought the Canadian health care system was supposed to be ideal. That's what the commies in my country always tell me.
1:45 p.m.A Quebec company is offering to arrange speedy health- care services for a fee in Cuba, but patients have to book their own flights.
Services Sante International charges $200 per medical file and patients must make their own flight and insurance arrangements.
President and founder Lucie Vermette said Tuesday that hip replacements cost between $5,000 and $6,000 and cataract operations cost $2,000 in Cuba. The Cuban doctors also do esthetic surgery.
"The care is given by highly qualified doctors and in five-star hospitals," said Vermette, who has been to Cuba and added she has checked doctor qualifications.
She said the doctors speak Spanish and the majority also speak English, while some speak French, Russian and German. Translation can be provided, if needed.
Heart surgery and other complicated, riskier procedures aren't available.
Once the patient's file arrives in Cuba through the Quebec company, doctors can give a treatment recommendation and price within about three days, Vermette said.
Vermette said she was motivated to start the service after waiting six months to see a specialist.
• And now it's time for the Dr. Laura call of the day (or whenever I feel like doing this). This mom was pissed off because her adult son always talks about himself when they chat on the phone. The mom said that she's sick of hearing him talk about his truck, so if he can't converse (or something) then she should just say "bye." He took the latter and now she's upset. Speaking from personal experience, guys, the best way to piss a woman off isn't to disagree with them during a fight but rather agree with them.
Her: "THAT'S IT! I'M SLEEPING ON THE COUCH!"
You: "OK."
Her: "THESE PLATES ARE STILL DIRTY!! YOU ARE NEVER WASHING DISHES AGAIN!!"
You: "OK."
Her: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD FUCK MY BEST FRIEND!!! I'M NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN!!!"
You: "OK."
Detect a pattern here? And no, the pattern isn't that I'm a shitty husband. I know that already.
12:15 p.m.
• Barak Osama just took the first step to announce his presidential bid.
Obama announced on his Web site, http://www.barackobama.com , that he was filing a presidential exploratory committee. He said he would announce more about his plans in his home state of Illinois on Feb. 10.
HE SPEAKS SO WELL!!!! Whatever. I know next-to-nothing about him, but it's obvious he's a pile of liberal dogshit wrapped up in a pretty bow. I just hope for his sake he doesn't make a campaign stop at Fort Marcy Park. Well, Hitlery probably won't off him just yet. He's so going to be her running mate. Man if that ticket wins, '08 is going to suck.
