I'm working today on my full point-by-point rebuttal to last Sunday's editorial in the Courier Tribune by our local mealy-mouthed, cheer-leader-for-the-right-people Ray Criscoe. I'm taking my time with it and will not be rushed.
Meanwhile, I've taken a few calls on Friday's ode to my Republican "Representative" to Raleigh, Harold Brubaker. Of course, none of those calls would be an apology from the man himself . . . either to Tim or myself . . . because "the right people" in Randolph County (particularly those with a whole lot to apologize for) don't know how to do that.
Of course, Harold (who takes a whole lot for granted where some of his "lesser" constituents are concerned) is one of those folks who has a lot to apologize for. "MistaSpeaka" has been pretty useless in the representation department unless there was something in it for him (he has to live in this town).
Alas, those "right people" are never wrong. Businesses can outsource, jobs can dry up, doctors can run from the place screaming, and entire towns can "die". But it's everybody else (particularly anyone who would talk back) who is "crazy".
A vote for Harold is a vote for "change" in Raleigh, dontchaknow.
Yeah, right. Chump change.
(For the record, what I said was very "nice" compared to what I was thinking as I typed. Wouldn't want to be accuse of being "belligerent" or a "bully".)
I digress. In the Raleigh N&O today, there are two stories on North Carolina doctors gone bad:
Story number one: The trial of Dr. Raymond Cook . . . the prominent surgeon/drunk driver who mowed down aspiring ballerina, Elena Shapiro . . . should start in Wake County today.
(I'm thinking they should throw the book containing all of the North Carolina Medical Board's toothless "position statements" at him . . . and make him Central Prison's free-doctor-for-life - saving our all-but-bankrupt state LOADS of money.)
Story number two: Another Duke "researcher" is under fire for padding his Curriculum Vitae (that's doctor talk for resume), and reporting "results" that no one else anywhere can seem to replicate. The N&O calls Dr. Anil Potti a "blight" on poor Duke.
(So, I'm kinda wondering why Dr./Admiral Donald C, Arthur can fly so stealthily under the radar courtesy of his friends at Harvard and JCAHO?)
So much material. So little time.
