Don't you even think about blaming my PCP or anyone involved with my care from Essentia, the folks who saved my life. They follow the procedures they were told to follow. I'd kick the ass of whoever gave them those busted-ass procedures, but I'm a 66-year-old with cancer and that'd not be likely to go well. And anyway, nobody knows who that is, but they're "Procedures," and medical professionals follow procedures or they're Bad Doctors.
My PCP, a Nurse Practicioner, thinks I can't call her "Doctor." What the actual fuck, "Doctor" is an earned title, not a fucking job title -- though "Doctor *of Medicine" is. All these people went to college. This from my fading memory, so look it the fuck up. "Colleges" used to be Collegia. Three top ranks: Bachelor, just a run-of-the-mill smart guy. Master, boss of some of the Bachelors. Doctor: Fully knowledgeable and able to teach, and of course teaching, that's why they became a doctor. Collegia. Look it up. Do your own research. Then tell me about it and show your work, since you did all that research...
What, you smirking smug bastard, you think I'm not talking to you? Pull your head out. Look it up, tell me I'm wrong if I am. Who's in charge? Y'all just elected a thug and a bully to run the country's government "like a business." I'm autistic, and sure as hell not an expert on autism, but I've known bullies since my first day of kindergarten -- an autistic kid with a too-large head, and some fat bastard named Bruce (no guys, the Bruce we know and love wasn't *this* Bruce) calls me "basketball head." I spent the rest of elementary school crying and not wanting to go to school. And Mrs Gallagher the principal kept calling me into the office and telling me I shouldn't fight. Never saw her call in the kids who'd tell my gullible child self "That guy over there wants to fight you," so I did. I was Autistic. What did you think it means?
He hates veterans. I'm a veteran. He hates disabled people. I am Autistic, I have osteoarthritis, maccular degeneration due to glaucoma in my left eye, so no depth perception, and Multiple Myeloma as of October 15 of 2024. I got laid off from my work-from-home job just before my 62nd birthday because my employers, CleaResult couldn't afford to keep me on -- and my work from home depended on other people who went out to install free stuff in people's houses. And nobody wanted strangers in their houses -- which was damn smart of them.
So now I'm "retired." Living off too-small SSDI checks. And the companies that gave me all those credit cards while I was working are taking me to court to grab the money they were so anxious to lend me, because now with my SSDI checks I can't afford to pay them. USAA is doing their best. So are all the Good Guys, probably including you, the reader. But "we have rules and procedures." I want to pay the cards, but please God don't fix it by handing me charity. Fix the busted-ass rules and procedures. The thug and bully you just elected President doesn't know how, admits it, and hires sycophants to tell him he's doing just fine. Like the other genius, Musk. Sure, asshole, take me to court for telling the world you're dumb as a stump and screwing up the Federal government. DOGE? You mean like the Doge, or ruler, of Venice?
Department of Government Efficiency. Why not Department of Presidential Efficiency, or DOPE? Why do you think they *don't* call it DOPE?
And before you laugh... I hate fucking cussing with a passion, and I hate fucking political rants. Like this one. But nobody is listening, with all the best will and best intentions in the world. Judge yourself by your results, not your intentions, lest ye be judged. Sound at all familiar?
Rev Dr David "Grizzly" Smith, DDHC, ULC
Oh, shut up and call me Griz, damn it! DDHC, no secret, stands for "Doctor of Divinity Honorus Causa." "Honorary Cause," it's Latin. It's an honorary degree I bought from the ULC that you don't respect, so stop trying to bullshit me. "What does the ULC believe?" Whatever the individual ULC preacher believes. We don't all believe one thing, we just believe. Ya know, like in Freedom of Religion? "There are faith and hope and love these three, and the greatest of these is love." Show some love, will ya, and stop pointing fingers with the one you pick your nose with anyway. Dignity my hairy old white ass.
To paraphrase Will Rogers, "I belong to no organized religion, I'm a Democrat." The founders wanted no political parties at all, and said so. Then the Federalists turned into a political party. Then Thomas Jefferson started the Democratic Republican Party. Then it split into Democrats and Republicans. Similar? They're two parts of one party. And the solution is... more political parties? Seriously?
Who's in charge now?
