Has anybody been following my primary health care travails? If so, you’ll recall that in my most recent post in the thread I was informed once again that I was going to get a postcard describing the results of my blood test. You’ll further recall that at the time of that last post, a week ago, I had already spoken with the physician’s office three times via telephone, in my attempt to glean the results of the May 17 tests. At that point, it was already 23 days since the blood was drawn. It gets worse.
Silly Little Fairy!
The title of this post is a line that is—or was—in a Dodge Caliber commercial that has been hitting the airwaves for a couple of months. Apparently, the tiny but vocal “gay lobby” and their much more extensive knee-jerk contingent once again have been offended by “hateful words,” prompting at least one network to air a censored version of the commercial with the spoken line “silly little fairy” chopped out of it. While on the surface it might appear that they have a point, in context this phrase is innocuous. Let me describe the uncut commercial first, after which I’ll add some bombast about how it was chopped, why it was chopped, and how I feel about the butchery.

And So, It Begins
Now that hurricane season has begun and we have our first named storm, Alberto, how long will it be before we start seeing local television news reporters in slickers and sou’westers dragging camera crews to projected points of landfall? Too late! They’re already standing out there in the rain, reporting live to bring us the latest pictures of—stupid local news reporters standing in the rain.
Bless the beasts, the children, and the local news directors.
