Our health care system is a mess, or at least it is at Orange Coast Memorial Center in Fountain Valley, California

My 16 year old son has had a severe immobilizing headache for 17 days. 2 of those days he was ok only to get hit again and even worse the next day.

We went to the ER five times, to his doc once, the Neurologist twice and chiropractor three times, two CT scans, an MRI and all blood work done. Only on the last trip to the ER did they do a spinal tap. At this point he had missed over 2 weeks of school. All the docs can say is everything looks fine but we’ll give you more drugs to take home.

He’s a healthy kid, plays hockey and surfs a lot. One of the scans was of his neck and spine and all that checked out ok too. He doesn’t do drugs, we spend most of our time together there really isn’t time for him to do them. He really has nothing to be stressed about and I think he would have told me when I asked him. We’re very close and we talk about a lot of things.

Anyway he still had this near crippling headache and we couldn’t figure out why. Go see a doctor get more drugs is all they could do. That is until our last visit to the ER at which time I told the doctor we weren’t going anywhere until someone figured out why this was happening or put a plan in place to figure it out what was going on. This ER doc was the first that took the situation as serious as I took it. (more…)

This is some crazy shit here. I can’t really figure out what “it’s” supposed to be and can see how it may be faked but I want to believe it’s real. Anybody that speaks whatever language that it please decipher and post a comment.

Actually looks like a man dressed as a woman dressed as a cat but I don’t know.

Just a short simple question.

If Barack Obama is half black and half white why do we not ever hear about the white side? Why is there so much emphasis placed on his ethnicity at all? After all Barack Obama is also white.

Just ask’n

Ok I’ve come back to add to this. As a (half) white man shouldn’t he be offended by Rev. Wright’s comments about white people? As an American Christian shouldn’t he be offended my Rev. Wright’s comment ” America deserved to be attacked on September 11, 2001″?

Race aside, as an American I know I’m offended by the 9/11 comment from the so called “holy man”.

WTF?

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to push through a new tax that will fund a global warming research committee to determine the effects “global warming” is having on the state of California. First off I do believe our climate is changing, that obvious. However I do NOT believe it is do to unnatural occurrences brought on by humans. The thing that really pisses me off is I have NO CHOICE whether I want to contribute to this. Something I am adamantly against I have to help fund.

The Governator promised Californians he was going to pull us out of all the debt and get us back in the black. Since the all he’s done is build a paycheck base for his buddies that need a job or an additional income. That’s what this is too, we don’t need it.

The earth has had natural global cooling and global warming cycles before. In case anyone forgets the earth was once covered in ice. There were no artificial pollutants that caused that. The as we well know the ice melted. Imagine that!! How did that happen? Who the hell do we blame for that? The cavemen and their damn fires? Damn them for wanting to live.

After the ice age, there were a number of periods where the temperature was higher than those we see today. The warmest was probably the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which hit it’s highest temperature about 55 million years ago. Global temperatures during this event may have warmed by 41°F to 46.4°f within a few thousand years, with the Arctic Ocean reaching a subtropical 73°F.

Next we have to also realize that earth is not the only planet that is experiencing or has (more…)
