Media Observer

   The most significant exciting story I heard today was that Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and Morgan Chase have decided to come up with a not-for-profit health plan. Alleluia! This is actually what the country needs--to get rid of the profit margin in healthcare. It's what Senator Bernie Sanders wanted when he proposed "single-payer." It is unfortunate, however, that it will take a while to set up--even as proof of concept--for Congress to see its merits.
    The President's speech patterns came up at today's shows. What everyone fails to understand is that Trump is not a reader. This means that he can't polish his deliver because he hasn't been exposed to edited novel variations only found in printed media. He may be dyslexic. Note how unnatural his teleprompter readings sounds. [please see my other blog on his sociopathy]
    It was mentioned that attendees at SOTU were warned to behave. That's why I'm watching--I want to see someone call him a liar the way a Republican called Obama a liar during one of his Sotu's. What a conincidence! As I write this MTP Daily discusses this same thing! It was proposed that the rebuttal should take place at a rally--I agree.
  I don't usually spend the entire day watching MSM but ever since returning from that road trip with my sons in which I was bitten by chiggers, I've been beset by gout, bursitis, and, today, uvulitis of all things. [uvulitisis inflammation of the uvula making swallowing quite scary]. Remember, people, doctors bury their mistakes.
    For those who may have followed me on Twitter, I'd like to say that I will not be returning. When I first started tweeting, I'd receive the occasional retweet and a like or two each time I tweeted. Now, thanks to Wall St taking over Twitter's operations, I see ZERO interactions. Fuck Twitter and their greed.

    Rep Joe Kennedy III did the Kennedy name proud and delivered an emotional speech that made one think of one's better angels--a clear change from the demands for applause that came with every sentence uttered from our President. I rail against monarchies but there's something special about this fellow and maybe enough time has elapsed to reconsider the Kennedy name if he remains clean of heart.

On the Causes of Nocturia

If  you ask a urologist to explain nocturia, or excessive urination at night, chances are you will hear, "it's your enlarged prostate not allowing your bladder to empty." I think women are told that it's an overactive bladder. I asked Goggle's Gemini to write a report on the latest findings. It spewed out an excellent report in a few minutes. What it told me was that "contemporary research has firmly established nocturia as a distinct clinical entity with a diverse range of underlying causes extending beyond the urological system . " The full report follows. Read it all because nocturia is associated with higher overall mortality.: Modern Theories Concerning the Cause(s) of Nocturia Nocturia, characterized by the need to wake during the night to urinate, is a prevalent condition affecting individuals across all age spectra, with its frequency tending to increase with advancing years. 1 This seemingly benign symptom can significantly impair an individual...

New Jersey's Department of Personnel

I'm 57 years old. That alone makes it very hard to penetrate the job market. However, NJDOP has a website where you can browse available jobs and submit an application along with $15. I did that and I waited and waited for the process to reach the stage where the actual hiring agency would give out interviews for the position. 2 months into that last stage (the DOP said that the hiring agency had 90 days in which to interview candidates), I got anxious and decided to call the municipality. They were supposed to pick from the top 3 candidates but they told me in no uncertain terms that they were going to give it to "the person who was already doing the job." When I questioned the ethics and legality of their decision, I was told that they really hadn't finalized things. This person was hoping that I would go away but, sadly, NJ is a state where ageism and/or crony-ism is condoned. Stay tuned, I'm waiting to see if I get an interview and if I don't get the job,...

Size and other Characteristics Matter in Trumpville

Why was Comey fired? He towered over Trump, that's why. It's a no-no. That other dude that knew his job well was tall, and I suspect the administration knew all the time of his spousal abuse history but it only became a problem for him when his height got on the president's nerve, OUT. This height obsession is a conflation of the President's own tallness and NY real estate where the bigger the edifice, the bigger your status. Look at whom he holds on to--Sessions, plenty of reason to fire him but he's all so diminutive that Mr. Trump feels he might be charged with child abuse if he were to act against him; besides, Sesssions takes it on the chin and will forever hold the distinct "honor" of being the first mainstream Republican to embrace the President's candidacy. This represents two pluses. The short and tough-looking General Mattis stays while the bigger and better looking Tillerson goes. Mustaches: if you have one, you're out but a whit...
