These clowns are still harping on Libya. Shockingly, Geraldo is slamming the lack of security funding from Congress as well as Issa's document dump. Of course he's getting shouted down, but at least it's not a total circle jerk.

Tell the doc you aren't interested in hearing propaganda when you come to the doc's office.

(4,424 posts)she changed it to some scuzzbucket caucasian reality show. I felt a little bad for an elderly AA gentleman in the waiting area, it seemed as though I might actually have made things WORSE for him.
I was back yesterday at the same time of day for a follow-up appt. and that waiting area had HGTV playing. LOL! Poor woman didn't know that the head doc in the practice is an longtime friend of mine!

(6,286 posts)I've resisted it, because this specialist is the only game in town, but if he kicks me out for such a benign request, I'll just use home remedies for what ails me. I'm tired of being subjected to this nonsense once a month. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.

(14,040 posts)that a) Obama learned about this, then just went to sleep, refusing to do anything about it til morning and instead flew to Vegas when he woke up. b) that they are "covering it up" because Pres. Obama is secretly selling weapons to Al Qaeda c) That the admin watched it happening in real time and refused to send troops to stop it.
They are getting this info from Fox, Washington Times, Beck, Limbaugh and when you try to bring up Condi Rice, well, she's a sell out 'cause of race.
