Morning Obama reading

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on July 13, 2008 at 11:50 am

First, sorry for the light blogging this weekend.  I am still not feeling 100%.  Long story short, I have had a sharp pain in my left side since Thursday morning.  Went to the ER yesterday and they determined it was not a kidney stone but it sure as heck feels like one.  I’m on meds right now to keep the pain down, so I’m a bit loopy (more so than normal – LOL).  I’m going to make an appt. with my primary care physician at the advice of the ER doc.  Hopefully I’ll get to see her sometime early in the week.

Anyway, here are a couple of really good pieces (via Power Line) on Barry Oh!, so good that I’ve linked them on the upper right side column of this page for the next week.  Jonah Goldberg documents numerous instances of Barack Obama’s phoney humility, while The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza has a fascinating piece about the rise of Obama in Chicago politics and how it shaped him to be a US Senator.  It’s lengthy, but well-worth reading.

MoDo has a surprisingly decent piece on Obama today where she talks about the weirdness of the Obama family’s appearance on Access Hollywood, and how it, along with the “regrets” he expressed later about doing the interview, unintentionally revealed a few things about Obama himself that perhaps he didn’t want known.

    Schwarzenegger: I’d be Obama energy czar

    Unreal. Remember this guy allegedly supports McCain, yet he is already angling for a job in the Messiah’s administration.

    Best wishes with the pain, ST. Hope it’s not a stone. An ER nurse once told me it’s the closest a man will ever come to experiencing childbirth. (I smiled for two seconds, then went back to grimacing.) Ugh!

  3. Feel better, ST! Go chill in the beautiful Carolina summer. Nothing could be finer:d

    I recommend a day inside the cool AC, napping and watching television to be punctuated with the occasional favorite snack. It can’t miss.

    I try and do it once a week. :d

    I had a kidney stone back in 2004. It was the second worst pain I ever had – the worst was after the (first) operation to break it up. Trying to pee was like having a knife stuck in my side and slid forward – I didn’t know if I was going to puke or pass out, and was afraid I’d end up doing both.

    Which is, I’m sure, a very cheery anecdote to bring up at this point. Perhaps I ought to shut the hell up? Yes, perhaps I ought.

    Best wishes, hope the meds keep it manageable, and if your doctor won’t see you first thing Monday morning, you call me and I’ll talk to her. Damn it, I’ll do way more than talk!

    ST, I’m glad it’s not a kidney stone. Having had two of them, I can confirm that they’re excruciating. Stay on those meds and definitely get to the primary care doctor ASAP!

    And don’t worry about the house here if you need some time away. We promise not to destroy the site too much. Unless Steve lets Sneery in the front door, that is. Then we can’t promise anything…. :d

    Several years ago, I had a gall stone. Thought I was going to die. Get well soon.

    Y’all sure know how to cheer a feller/lass up……:-\

    Without going into any medical detail I hope the next bulletin will tell us that you are well on the way to recovery, they have found what is wrong and are dealing with it double fast.

    Obama says he wants to give the common folk more “access” to the process. Only a man with an Olympian’s sense of entitlement to mass worship could describe such a choreographed descent upon a place called “Mile High” as an effort to bond with the common man. A demigod, it seems, is never so tall as when he stoops to bask in the adoration of the little people.

    Soooo Much like Charleton Heston in the movie “The 10 Commandments”, BO too can deliver the very words of God from on High, at Mile High stadium. =)) Such presumption, is everything this guy does staged or is it just me. – Lorica

    So what are the chances that this story by Andy Martin, saying Obama’s mom and dad never married, being true ?
    Or is this just more New Yorker satire ?
