Anne Coulter is who I am talking about. Do you know what the bigoted bitch said now? She called Senator Edwards a faggot. How anyone can support this woman, I don't know. At least people from her own party are speaking out against her.

Karen: Right on!

Is she a leftist plant?

Lol. Now that there is a nice conspiracy theory...someone oughta make a webpage like that....

Aw I'm never the first one to think of something... bet it's already out there!

Ariana Huffington was on Larry King last night discussing Ann Coulter's remarks and she said something that I agreed with and expressed herself beautifully. AH is a very bright and articulate woman unlike AC!

She felt that the news stations had a responsiblity to effectively ban her from talk shows since she doesn't usually have the correct facts as pointed out by Tom and others and that she only speaks for shock value.She shouldn't be given a forum on legit shows like Chris Matthews, MSNBC and Fox. Apparently, she hasn't been on CNN since 2005.

Ariana also talked about the people at that conference where she called Edwards a faggot... they at first were shocked but then applauded her. They may have criticized her remark but not her. She somehow gets excused as a person when others wouldn't. She should not be allowed a forum on shows other than Sean Hannity who is great fan of hers and even didn't think that her remarks about the NJ 9/11 widows who were "harpies" were out of line. Bill O'Reilly was the only FOX talk show host to blast her about her remarks on his radio show and on the air. He is a bright guy who I share very little with politically but respect his educational background and he tends to call many things "fairly".

I agree with Carlene and actually have evil thoughts about what could be done to her. She isn't just mean spirited but seems to take so much pleasure "hurting others" by her nasty mouth. I would never buy a book of hers or bother to "listen" to her unless she is being held accountable for her words in a news piece.

She engenders such hatred among people and is no better than Louis Farrakan or the Pres. of Iran who "spew vomit from their mouths".

Glad to see her name here. I rarely post but needed to vent about that SB. Her soul mate is the "real" Mel Gibson and perhaps OJ is her "dream" date!

Thanks for the opportunity to express something on "paper" to get rid of some of my anger towards AC. I have found her objectionable since she first was on TV spewing...

I have 100% perfect gaydar, and let me tell you, that woman is a total lesbian. So typical, the internalized homophobia/self hatred being expressed as hatred and bigotry against Gays.

She would be sooooo hot if she wasn't such a disgusting human being...

Nice post Shiloh. Tellin it like it is!

Sunta: I used to think she was attactive until she went off the deep end. Now all I see is ugliness.

I am not worried. I am sure they won't find anything.

Would it be taking your remark out of context to say that I agree? Or would that be the literal interpretation?

I was being playful. I have been to so many doctors so many times lately, with so many tests, so many prescriptions and so much failure, that I am getting frustrated, hence the humor.

I was being figurative, but feel free to take it literally.:clap2:

Is everything alright? I think I remember reading somewhere that you were going for an MRI today.

TOM: I want to know too. How are you? What's up? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have been having dizzy spells and lost my balance quite a few times. They wanted to rule out any brian abnormalities. Insanity was not ruled out, but I will get the MRI results next week.

TOM: I tend to want to kid around but I guess this isn't the time. I hope everything turns out negative and it's something simple like allergies affecting your inner ears. Ever had that? My DH has, especially when we lived in Orlando and at this time of the year as well as in the fall.

I'm thinking of YOU kid.

That's what I think it is. My EENT is a real jackass (I was going to leave jack out) and the only reason that I don't change doctors is because in this area, there are no real doctors (in this field). Doctors today just want to cover their asses and run a regiment of tests without ever listening to the patient.

Thank God, this jerk is moving to another state and my next visit will be with one of the firm's three partners (it will then be two partners). It is hard to leave and go to another doctor once you have started being tested for this and that, because the new doctor wants to start all over again.

I have been treated with antibiotics for sinus infections 6 times in the past year. Every time my sinus gets infected, one of the symptoms is loss of balance and dizziness. Every time my GP treated me with antibiotics, my sinus infection got better and my loss of balance and dizziness went away, but this EENT says a sinus infection can not cause loss of balance and dizziness

I have had a CT scan of my sinuses, a hearing test and inner ear test with hot and cold air being blown into my ears, etc and blood tests and today an MRI with and without contrast (dye).

I hope it is allergies and I can take shots to immunize me. I'll keep you guys informed of my progress.

We had the same situation much of the time when we lived in Orlando. I finally found a fabulous woman Internist and she opted out after a bad case of burn out. None of her male partners were worth a hoot.

I never have been able to understand why doctors don't listen. They never wanted to listen to my dad, and would get all exasperated when he wanted to "take up their time" with actual discussion of his symptoms.

Medical care in the U.S. is very frustrating. Sorry you're having to go through the tests, but the good thing is that you'll have some assurance that, if all goes well, you don't have anything more serious than a bad sinus infection.

Have you ever used Flonase? It has changed my DH's life! Seriously.

Flonase, yes and Nasonex (not at same time) and anti-histamines and decongestants. Both the Flonase and Nasonex work for me for a while, then they stop working and finally they add to my symptoms, so I can only take them for a few months, then stop for a few months, then take them...

I had similar medical problems back in Brooklyn until the late 1970's. Then I went to an EENT in 1978 and he sent me to an Allergist, a throwback to the old days who took his time and listened. After many years of treatment, I improved 95%. However, after a while, he would not play the games that the insurance companies require and stopped taking any insurance, so I could not afford to go to him after 1998 and I started with another Allergist (recommended by the first), who even though he received all my records for 20 years, refused to treat me unless I started from scratch.

One of my blood tests this past week was to determine my allergies. They no longer do the skin prick testing according to the Florida doctors. Even though the skin pricking technique is time consuming and (mildly) painful and uncomfortable, it worked on me in the past. I wonder if the blood test technique is better or just more cost effective (insurance companies again).
