Marching Orders for 2010
Take ten minutes and watch this speech. The big question will be whether we have the testicles to make it work. Why not? Sure beats getting shredded by some crazed jihadist.
Periodic commentary on issues and events in the land of the Big-PX; particularly regarding pharmaceuticals, science, and conservative politics. Formerly available as The "Medicine Vault" (recently deleted for security reasons and quickly snatched-up by some off-shore asshat).

With a couple of days off for a long holiday weekend I thought I would head down to the local medical lab for a routine blood draw. Since I didn't need to fast for this particular sample, I thought it would be interesting to forgo the 7am opening by sleeping in for a change and see what it is like to visit fully caffeinated and not being in hypoglycemic shock. I only need to go there about once a year and it is usually in a heavy fasting fog. Big mistake. On the way, I had the privilege of getting behind every geriatric driver in the county who refused to go any faster than 25 MPH. Not surprisingly, the blue-haired little old lady at the head of our five car caravan happened to be going to the same place as me; oh boy. Bless her heart though, it took her nearly ten minutes to park and another ten to make it into the waiting room. And of course the waiting room was packed and to make the experience complete, they share a waiting room with a GP's office next door so I can think of nothing better to do on my day off than to get exposed to every RTI virus currently circulating in the community. What fun!
So, how's that "hope-and-change" thing working for you? Things are getting pretty bad when the euroweanies over at Der Spiegel give you a "shout-out" so to speak. And this fat-ass buffoon has the nerve to refer to West Point as the "enemy camp". Despicable, both of them, and the Corps of Cadets having to waste their time giving this idiot a captive audience. There should be a new directive that no armed services member (or service academy cadet) should have to be anywhere near a stage when this moron reads his teleprompter.
