Them too. It's very theraputic.

I'm told it also adjusts your chakras, whatever the hell they are.

Energy centers in the body.

Got some drugs?

Them I got. Sleepers, wakers, the whole 9 yards. Like Elvis. But if I have to die on the crapper, please God let it happen while I'm "upper decking" the local American Legion post's bathroom. Amen.

Gupta Withdraws

Quote:
Dr. Sanjay Gupta has withdrawn his name from consideration to become surgeon general, the White House confirmed to CBS News today.

Gupta, a neurosurgeon, pulled out from consideration "in order to continue devoting time to his medical career and of course his work at CNN,” according to CNN U.S. President Jon Klein.

Jerry Farrell, head of the Commissioned Officers Association, which represents the group overseen by the surgeon general, told Fox News that possible candidates have been calling his office to express their interest in the job now that Gupta has withdrawn and “the bidding process [is] open again."

News broke in early January that Gupta had sat down with President Obama and had been offered the position. It looked likely at the time he would take the job.

"He has asked for a few days to figure out the financial and logistical details of moving his family from Atlanta to Washington but is expected to accept the offer,” the Washington Post reported at the time.

Since then, however, there has been little discussion of Gupta taking up the offer. Had he done so, the CBS News and CNN contributor, who had been a White House fellow, would likely have become the highest-profile surgeon general in U.S. history.

Gupta did not attend today’s health care summit at the White House.
Not because of taxes, but an apparently good candidate chose not to serve.

Hmmm...wonder if it was a money issue. He's probably making some nice cheddar on TV...he wouldn't make shit in politics (relatively speaking).

Jesus. Obama's the only person in America hiring, and nobody wants anything to do with it.

Depends on what I have to do...I just had to fill out a 20-page application for a fucking civilian job with the St. Louis County Police Department. Can a government job be much worse, especially given the track record of the people that work in it?

Wait. What? You want to be a COP in ST LOUIS?

No, no job can be much worse.

Civilian job...and it's St. Louis County, which is separate from St. Louis City. Not that I have any problems with the City, since I live in it.

Mark your highway exits, please.

Huh? Which highway were you on here that didn't have markers? Shit, we're not California (though I hear they're working on things out there).

55W --> 44W, middle of the night, during construction (this was about 4 years ago). No detour signs. No alternate route. Nada.

ummm, California has very well marked roads. I lived there for ten years, and have travelled across country 4 times, and from Miami to Toronto. California has the best marked freeways I have ever seen.
