Kerry in trouble and Bill Clinton may be coming to his rescue? Why? Thought he wanted Hillary as President, well Hillary wants Hillary as President.

Hard to get excited about someone who comes across dead. Al Gore did that trick, wooden. Didn’t work. Course lately, Al Gore has gotten a bit more animated. Hey, that’s it, get Al to stump for Kerry. That’s sure to be a good for his campaign.

Mind you, looking at the polls or the election projection site, looks like Lurch is doing all right and Bush is the one needing a little help.

Carnival Of the Cats #11

Is up at Lair’s of course. Must see cute kitty pics.

Must wake up too, still half asleep. Woke to a very pleasant sound, kid vacuuming. Kitty poop be gone. Joy.

The Up Side

To losing freedom of religion and freedom of speech is that it will make stuff like this illegal. Quoting:

…Sheikh Sharkhawy, a cleric at the prestigious London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park, compares homosexuality to a “cancer tumour.” He argues “we must burn all gays to prevent paedophilia and the spread of AIDS,” and says gay people “have no hope of a spiritual life.”…

What staggers me is how silent the gay establishment is about these obscenities. If a religious right figure had said them, there would be hell to pay. But the multi-culti left still has a stranglehold on official gay discourse and won’t condemn Islamist bigotry. Why not? These mullahs are fanning the flames of anti-gay violence with literally incendiary rhetoric. Burn gays? Yep, that’s what the cleric said.

Read the full quote, now that is beyond the pale but not surprising since Muslims would kill equally Jews, Christians, gays, basically all infidels. We are in good company. I’m of the “love thy neighbor” philosophy irregardless of religion, sexual orientation, whatever. I don’t expect people that are not of my faith to abide the rules of my faith and vs vs and feel there should be room for the religious, all persuasions, as well as those of no faith. I cherish the freedom to worship as I please and my freedom of speech. These I don’t want taken away and I would hope we wouldn’t lose sight of these values which make America great. There is much to learn from each other and I would hope we could find the good in all things, other faiths, other viewpoints not just our own.

Expensive Stuff

The main drugs used to modify the course of MS are a bit on the pricey side, info here.

The retail prices generally range from $10,000 to $14,000 a year. But what you will actually pay depends on a number of factors including your insurance plan, the pharmacy you use, and so on. See “Paying for your Disease-Modifying Drug” below.

Even better, they consider my income in determining whether, after checking out the insurance coverage, there is any aid. Most require my making less than $60,000/year and want proof via current tax return. Problem is, last one was over $60,000 and after being off for nearly three months and not being able to make as much cause of reduced overtime, will have to wait til next year to meet the qualifications. So if the insurance won’t cover it, I am kindof out of luck. Best hope would be for me to get in a drug trial, be a guinea pig, hoping I’m not in the control group. Yeah, that might work.

Still, I can begin to feel Andrew Sullivan’s pain when it comes to drug costs. No wonder he has pledge drives.

Ooey Gooey Kitty Poo

Kitty crap on the floor
Right in front of my bedroom door
If you don’t use the litter pan
You’ll be pounding sand
Feelin’ triple digit heat
On those leetle kitty feet
Cute can only take you so far
Perhaps to Abu Dhabi

Yeah, that doesn’t rhyme but what do you expect after being up all night with only three hours sleep?
