New York,New York

Finally Mike Lupica stood up for the Yankees and Derek Jeter. So the Connecticut Yankee ESPN bashing of the NEW YORK Yankees was modified for a day. Even Miss Selena curtailed her Yankee expose for a day. They are worried about the expensive box seats at the new totally unnecessary Yankee Stadium It's too late. Why didn't they say something when this monument to corporate greed was first proposed. It's just like illegal immigration and steroids, they and the government wait until it's established until they complain.

Has ESPN or the government noticed the excesses and cruelty of wrestlling, boxing and total boxing not to mention violent video games? How about gladiators and Christians to the Lions? Michael Vick can go to jaill for torturing animals. But human cruelty and torture is ok. Not to forget football- the new national pasttime. People don 't have time to watch baseball. But they have entire weekends to watch football.

Which brings us to basketball. Now that's a sport. Unfortunately many parts of the world are too short to play it. Also it's too blsck. So the mafia promotes white sports.

I give up

There's good news and bad news. First the good- the blog I just wrote castigating the callous bumbling of my case by the local medical profession and the total disinterest in it by my all I care about is the Final Four and myself husband just disappeared. The bad-I'll do an abbreviated version..The doctors have lost my records, accused me of having fainting spells all in my mind,forgotten to schedule a TEE twice thank God because I don't want one, not been able to see me until May 1st,and often don't answer the phone. The worst was the neurologist who scrambled my brain with a dizziness inducing (they blow air in your ear) fall and balance test three hours before an MRI showed that I had mutiple ministrokes all over my brain. Then they billed my insurance incorrectly for physical therapy. Natasha Richardson, John Travolta's son Jet and I get zero help for our symptoms. I'm going to my other house for R&R. So you're on your own bloggers of America. This Yankee is going home.

As for baseball, no news is good news. Of course the name has been officially changed to beisbol since the WBC which has as much interest in the US as the WORLD CUP in soccer.

So next week I'm calling Morgan, Morgan and Morgan. This patient's office is closed.

Revision-To The Moon,Alice

Actually NASA is receiving a great deal of federal money-more than usual. unfortunately none of it will benefit the 3,000 layed off workers or the Brevard County Economy. So I still call for investment in practical global warming prevention industries such as the development of cheap solar panels for homes in the Sunshine State and a battery operated leaf blower to replace the noisy,air polluting gas type used all over America( especially on the country club 6th green outside my window at 7 a.m. each day not to mention the condo maintainance leaf blowers later in the day plus every house in my neighborhood)and year round in the Sunshine State to be manufactured by the federal government at the Kennedy Space Center until the Moon and Beyond program is ready to run full time. Brevard needs jobs. We have skilled workers. Give us a practical stimulus package that will benefit the citizens of Brevard County. Big business has had its day thanks to government laissez-faire policies now help the common people fight enrgy prices, gas blower air pollution,and the local economy (stores, restaurants, etc.). Besides helping the mafia controlled construction business, help us.
Do you look at Florida crime statistics? That was during good economic times. It's practically a third world state with murders, drug wars,a third of the state in prison, welfare, etc. Why ? There are no jobs. There is no industry. It's all over seas not in Florida. We even drink foreign orange juice andeat foreign fruits and vegetables. We already had a recession. With the end of the Kennedy Space Center, it will be a depression. Do we have to riot to get a little money like AIG,Bank of Amercia etc. receive. We are willing to work. Provide some jobs as suggested above : the manufacture of inexpensive solar panels and battery driven leaf blowers. If a golf cart can be charged every night, why can't the leaf blowers. The fumes and noise are killing us not to mention the environment, the ozone layer and the earth. Get real Give us help=jobs.

As for baseball, no news is good news.

1776

We threw the British out of the USA in 1776. Why in 2009 are we letting them rule the waves again? The air waves I mean. It's a tiny country 9probably smaller than Texas and many other states. Since the advent of Rupert Murdoch(the official second coming to most conservatives and other muckrakers) nasty British people are dominating the US television market. Not that the Hollywood version is much better. But at lelalstl it's American .

The latest was Simon Cowell berating a blind excellent singer and piano player(musician) about his performance. He even used a hand gesture when speaking to a blind person(then he said what he meant). Simon Callous was just showing why the British Empire fell. The red haired host of a quiz show who was cruel to the contestants is another example. Then Chef Ramsey from Britain whose commercials are so cruel to desperate souls who will take any abuse to get ahead in the restaurant world. The commerciall is so vicious in its treatment of others that I would never watch the show. Of course the USA has Tyra Banks picking apart beautiful people because they one extra eyebrow hair and iots are happenening in NYC among vicious contestants on the show. But at least she's American. We do not need nasty Simple Simons imported from Britain. We already have enough cruel people in the USA.

It was St. Patrick's Day in the USA. I missed the first song-hopefully it was Irish- but I doubt those simple Simons would ever think of anything with heart like that. So I say what the IRA always said: England get out of gthe USA and take your Australian muckraker undoubtedly great grand son of a prison colony detainee from the 19th century away too.

I've been to Britain many times and have never met the sanctimmonious self righteous cruel twits that are imported to the USA. It's a fabulous country and society. These bombastic boobs are not represenative f the British culture. They repesent it's lowest form just like Tyra Banks,the Kardascians.the Hugh Hefners, the Sopranos, CSI Miami. Las Vegas etc. represent thje lowest form of our society not to mention Snoop Doggy, Flava Flave, Pimp MY Ride etc. represent the lowest US influences.

I love music. I never watch Idol in the early shows when they make fun of the retarded(brain damaged) and mentally ill. It is not funny. It is cruel. It is as low as operating a freak show at the circu s to make money. How low can you go? So last night they had mercy on a beautiful blonde who wasout of tune and croaking out a song because she had the flu( and is highly marketable in a non-existent music scene) but not on a blind person who was great!!!.

It is not open season on people with disabilities. That's what the entertainment industry as evidenced by recent movies,NBC comedy shows etc. seem to think. They are lifting the taboos on disabilities, women, race, gays etc. as sources of derision that 40 years of civil rights have tried to prevent. America's teenagers think Rihanna deserved to be beaten up. So homegrown cruelty and prejudice is bad enough but do we have to import it.

The British Empire fell because they were cruel to the countries they controlled. The USA was one of the first to revolt. Ireland was one of the last. Part of it is still not free of the British. You've got to be taught to hate. Every American (except me with a Masters Degree in French) has lelarned to hate the French because they are rude. But the cruel Brtish who subjugated other peoples for centuries are perfectly acceptable. They can come on US television and castigate Americans of every gender,race, nationality, color, creed and disability and they are our allies, friends, beloved leaders. Watch Gunga Din again, Slum Dog Millionaire to learn about the cruelty of some British. Believe me not everyone in Britain is like Simon and Chef Ramsey or in the USA like snotty Tyra Bamks or Snoop Doggy's Fatherhood or the Sopranos but they've risen to the top. The audition riots for the Tyra Banks show in NYC show others are scrambling to take their place at he top.

So Rupert owns the Wall Street Journal and Direct TV. It all must be regulated by the FCC. It is allowing the most prurient interests in America and the World to permeate our society. The US was founded by Pilgrims who believed so much in Christianity (kindness) to set sail to a new world to practice their religion freely. No one can be that good and survive but the USA has deteriorated to the lowest form -torturing prisoners, attacking other counntries etc. CNBC,MSNBC,the networks are no better. CNN is taking a crash course in how to sell the news from Fox. Jon Stewart took on some. Which brings us to Obama bashers. Enough already. He's been in office two months trying to undo what Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal buddies created with deregulation. Even Greenspan says he didn't know what was going on. He's an economist. We're not. Erin Go Bragh. Ireland Forever! It was country music night. Irish music is the original source. Consider the source!

Shuttle Launch

The Space Shuttle Discovery's sunset launch last night at 7:43 pm from the Kennedy Space Center across the Indian River from Titusville was the last night launch and one of the best in spite of a haze on the horizon. You could see the two boosters separate from the shuttle clearly above the Indian River. The Sunset cast a bright red-yellow glow on the exhaust trail above the river. It was one of the best- a real blast.

The Kennedy Space Center brought the world television,cell phone,GPS, aand weather satellites to name a few. unfortunately the US government does not value these important economic contributions so 3,000 skilled workers willl be let go in 2010 not to mention local employees. The Space Coast economy will be decimated. In these perilous times, that's adding pain to misery. We need a stimulus plan by the US Government for the Space Coast. We are a one company county. I say start asap producing solar panels at KSC for every house in Florida. We don't need research into Global Warming. We need action. Put the KSC workers to work on something needed by our society while the Kennedy Space Revamps for future space travel to the Moon and beyond. They've got the technological ability. use it. Or do you want to outsource it to Russia like the future Space Shuttle blast offs.

UNderwear

So athletes in underwear are in the news. Papelbon, the 'wearing underwear Boston Irish dancer is complaining that Manny was a cancer. At least Manny didn't parade in his underwear. After the Swedish golf pro stripped down to his underwear at Doral this week, all golf course dress codes have been nullified at every country club in the country. Those Swedes love to sun bathe nude in the Riviera but who knew they also disrobe for golf. In Florida that Swede was lucky an alligator didn't take his leg off. What is the penalty for lost balls?

I'm sure both players will be featured on WHAT NOT TO WEAR. SO NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. KEEP YOUR CLOTHES ON AND YOUR BALLS DRY.

Addendum

I had to wait one hour at the heart doctor with CNN news blaring in the waiting room. What ever happened to peace and quiet and reading magazines? There was no good news unless you call a Harvard Economics professor advocating the legalization and subsequent taxation of marijuana as a source of revenue for the US government. Legalization would be a boon to the ailing economy. CNN with Rick Sanchez and Mr. Smiley before him were enough to give you a heart attack with their inane slant on the news. It often made FOX News seem intelligent and that's a stretch.

So the heart doctor's staff had lost my records from the week before, never ordered a TEE (heart scope),didn't receive my records from the neurologist, and hadn't consulted with the neurologist on my symptoms. I felt shakey yesterday so I called the heart doctor's office today. They thought I was a new patient. They thought they were seeing my husband even though we told them twice the appointment was for me. So the doctor will check for blockages from the heart to the brain. Any way I feel great now but didn't earlier in the day. So who knows?

So speaking of Yankee Go home. I thought of heading north and I may sooner than mid April we'll see. Heat exacerbates all symptoms. I do have to see the neurologist in April. If you think medical help is bad here it's worse in Cape Cod. There are few doctors. You can't find a GP. No one will take new patients.


So I'm officially on the dl with AROD. Let's hope his doctor doesn't lose his records.
I'm still drug free. No prescriptions.
