OT ~ Hospital again...
Cory
infection in my foot after a recent amputation of a toe (the toe had
had an abscess on it for months and months and just wasn't healing,
and since I don't walk any more [only to transfer from my wheelchair
to a couch, chair or bed], the docs elected to amputate). The ONLY
reason I am in the hospital is because they decided to switch from
oral antibiotics to IV antibiotics and the only place that they could
do that successfully is in the hospital. I hope to be back posting
regularly in 2-3 weeks.
Play nice, gang! ;-P

Sorry to hear you're in the hospital. You have your laptop there? Do

Wishing you well. Take good care.

They have a public computer terminal in the waiting room on the floor
I'm on, so I'm accessing the 'net thataway. The only thing it has on
it is Internet Exploder, so it's not as if some computer illiterate

Eh... ain't no big thing. In retrospect, I saw this coming a mile way
after the initial surgery, so I wasn't surprised in the slightest when
the medicos told me I had to go to the ER to at least get it looked
at.

Nope. I just have REALLY, REALLY awful circulation in my right foot.
Having said that, my blood sugar's been out of whack a couple of times
since I came in to the hospital, so I'm beginning to wonder now, too,
if I have the "beginnings", if you will, of diabetes (which would
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY suck).

Something like that, yeah. We're still trying to figure out how much
longer I'm going to be on IV antibiotics. I'm a little confused right
now, because they have changed antibiotics 2-3 times in the last 4-5
days, and I'm not 100% sure why. Some of it DOES have to do with the
reaction I had to one antibiotic, I understand, but it was only a mild
reaction (I itched a LOT... particularly in my hands).

Anybody surprised by the outcome yesterday?? I certainly wasn't. Was
I disappointed?? A little bit, yes (you have to remember that, as it
stands right now, I am supporting Barack Obama).
As an aside, I was surprised to read articles like this one...
Democrat Edwards exits presidential race
Clinton, Obama praise ex-rival, who refrains from endorsing one or
other
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22913001/ ...today. Had I known more
about John Edwards and his platform and themes and ideas and
convictions, I would have supported his bid in a heartbeat. IOW, if
he'd had more national exposure, I think he would have gotten farther
than he did.
Truth be told, I may actually end up voting for my first Republican,
ever, if McCain wins the Republican nomination for POTUS.

Hi Cory, I just popped in to check on you, and hope you will make a
speedy recovery. I've become obsessed with politics and have been
spending my online time at the Huffington Post. Next Tuesday I will
be voting for Obama. I hope you won't be missing a primary because of
this.
The nice thing about being away is that I have been spoiler free. I
did see your comment about Tammy's return, but I did not know that
Jonathan and Sarah would be revealed to Lizzie. Now that Rick and
Beth know, and Joshua and Cassie know, it is time for Beth to finally
deliver that baby to get into that paternity plot.
Love,

Truth be told, I may actually end up voting for my first Republican,

--- Cory
Cory, I did the opposite a few years ago. Voted for my first democrat ever.
I had been voting for many years and it was always republican. The earth
didn't quake and the sky didn't fall on me. My family did get a little
alarmed. Since that time I have mostly voted democrat. I guess you could say
I am a recovering republican.

It definitely is time for that baby to get here, and blow up Rick's

I have to agree, Cory. I don't feel right voting for Hillary or Obama; so my
choice is for McCain, who I hope will win the nomination. He seems to have
the experience the other two lack and I think he believes in what he can

I think he's been through this so many times & been shuffled to the back for
so long that he is bitter. I also think he can't be elected where at some
point in the past he could've been. His day has passed. But, hey, since I
know I want a Democrat in this year, after having Republicans in for 8, ...
that's okay with me.

Hillary has never, ever struck me as a politician... ever. Having
said that, if she is elected POTUS, she may end up surprising me in
the end and leaving me with egg all over my face if she can
demonstrate that she can be an effective politician/POTUS.
> or Obama;
I REALLY, TRULY love Barack Obama. I think his lack of experience may
prove to be a bit of a problem, though, in the end.
Having said THAT, ISTR that California elected an actor, not once, but
twice, as its governor, and that one of those actor-governors was a
wildly popular POTUS. Thus, I think the argument can be made
effectively that one does NOT *need* a lot of political experience to
be elected POTUS.

One thing that McCain DOES have, for sure, that the Hillary and Barack
both lack - is military experience. In THIS day and age, even though
it's probably not THE most important pre-requisite for being POTUS, I
DO find that aspect of a potential POTUS to be more important than in
years past.

The best years for me, in many ways, were the Reagan years!! And, yes, I'm
rich (it doesn't take money to live a rich full life) but not a fool! I
think McCain will make a good President. And most of the people I talk to
liked RR very much!

Let's see, some have criticized them for being so 'polite' toward each other

I'll actually be happy with either... it's a tough choice. :) Hillary has
my head [safe] vote, but Barack has my heart [risky] vote.
I want to leave the dirty politics behind; and even though I know it's a
pipe dream, I think *less* money and time will be wasted demonizing
Obama if he's our choice.

That's where I'm coming from Karen. I only voted for a democrat
president one time, and that was Jimmy Carter. I thought he was a
terrible president, but a nice man. Before and after, I have voted
republican or independent. I will definitely be voting democrat this
time. I can't say I'm entirely happy with either one, but I can say
I'm entirely unhappy with the the current admin.

We are in a distinct minority Donna, but ITA with *everything* you said
about Ronald Reagan! :) As long as I live, I will never understand the
myth that surrounds this man. During those awful years, I could always
count on a co-worker to send me greeting cards about when he was
leaving office.
It is so hard to believe that someone came along to replace him,
as the worst president in my lifetime, but GWB did it. I couldn't
imagine at the time, anyone could be any worse at that job.

"Fortunate Son"? I think it's the best of his bios, but I haven't read it.
I do know about his business failures, and daddy's friends bailing him
out throughout his life though. Really makes you wonder if most of the
people who voted for GWB, did it because of name recognition only.
The media certainly failed to do their job in informing the public about
him during his campaign, and again... during the escalation for that
illegal invasion of Iraq. :(

Seriously, I would have less of a problem with that than I would have
with either one of them on their own in the WH without the other one

I agree, of course, completely with your sentiments about Current Bush being
like RR in all of those wrong ways & even surpassing him. The 3 worst
Presidents in my lifetime, IMO: Nixon, Reagan, GW Bush. [Sigh.] I guess I
should amend that with 'so far'.
> You're right, you are in a distinct minority. :-)
I don't actually believe that we are. I think he (himself, the entity RR) is
something we are deeply divided about as a country. I think those of us who
see RR's years as a horror are just quieter about it now. I know I became so
immediately after his death. YMMV, of course.

That's how it is, unfortunately. Hillary's voting record is pretty
bad: she supports the War on Drugs, staying in Iraq, continuing the
PATRIOT Act, etc. Even Obama voted to renew it, and voted to continue
funding for the war in Iraq. All that aside, Obama seems less likely
to abuse power than Clinton.

Did Edwards go on the record and say that he wouldn't be interested in
VP if he were asked by the Dem nominee??
If so, I truly hope he changes his mind. I think he would make an
interesting VP, and an interesting POTUS after that.

Actually, hasn't Barack Obama opposed the war in Iraq from the
beginning, unlike Hillary, who sided with Dumbya when he first wanted
to invade Iraq?? I thought he did, but I could be wrong. One of my
main problems with Hillary, and supporting her bid for POTUS, is that
she sided with Dumbya and voted to go to Iraq in the beginning,
whereas Obama did not.
Also, just as food for thought here, it's a little harder, I believe,
to not support funding for a war that has been ongoing for weeks,
months, whatever, as that would be seen as "unpatriotic" or
"unAmerican" and unsupportive of our troops. Thus, I give anyone
(including those who initially voted to go to war in Iraq) some slack
if they initially opposed the war, but once we were knee-deep in it as
a country, voted to continue funding for it.
I FIRMLY believe that this military operation in Iraq, since we are so
far into it, should thoroughly be seen to the bitter end now. To cut
and run right now, given the utter unstability of that region as it is
today, would be a horrifying mistake that would haunt not just the
United States, but the world for YEARS to come.

I know that nobody has outright accused me of this, and that this has
nothing to do with Kolbard's post, but let me just state for the
record that my opposition to Hillary Clinton as POTUS has NOTHING to
do with the fact that she's a woman.
I voted for Ferraro and her Presidential running mate (was it
Dukakis??) when she was on the ticket as a VP candidate. I have EVERY
confidence in the world that a woman could do just as well a job as
POTUS as a man could, given that it's the right woman in the Oval
Office. I'm not entirely convinced that that "right woman" is Hillary
Clinton.
Just my nickel's worth...

Point taken, Karen. I hadn't thought of it like that. Even *I* said,
when Reagan passed away, that Reagan was a good *man* and that I had a
lot of respect for him as a *person*. Part of that WAS fueled by RR's
candor, WRT his Alzheimer's fight, but part of it was also fueled by
the fact that Bush 2 had been outed by the time Reagan passed away as
a total crackpot.

RG lost me there, as well, but the biggest reason I never supported
his bid for POTUS is because the only thing RG ever, ever, ever had to
"hang his hat on", so to speak, is the fact that he just happened to
be the mayor of NYC on 9/11.
YES, RG handled things well in the aftermath of 9/11. Yes, he is to
be admired and respected and applauded for his handling of 9/11 and
its aftermath, but if he were not mayor of NYC on 9/11, he would have
been just another mayor of NYC.
Have any other mayors of NYC run for POTUS and been elected to the
position before being a member of the US Congress, or VPOTUS, or a
member of Cabinet??

I don't think that Hillary would be likely to abuse power because of what
she & Bill went through in Arkansas when they were defeated for a second
term in the Governorship. That pulled them from their liberal views to
centrist and it further cemented their way of doing 'political' business,
which is through consensus building.
But, realistically, given the Senate & HR the past 12+ years, I don't think
abuse of power and any Democratic candidate is a legitimate fear. It takes
too long to make changes & to get legislation passed!

I don't know *anyone* who supported going into Iraq in 2003. For any
