"I'm sorry but pain-killers are not normally given to our Extra Ankle-Bone patients."



Some years ago on a Pittsburgh Steeler Message Board, I attempted to explain then-QB Kordell Stewart's endless mediocrity. It was due to Kordell's lack of an Extra Ankle-Bone natural to the anatomy of great black QBs like the Eagles' Donovan McNabb. Even though MRIs had revealed one of my twin boys had his Extra Ankle-Bone, I continued, tests showed the other boy did not. Hoping one day to become a Super Bowl Dad, that summer my son would undergo an Extra Ankle-Bone implant, thanks to the miracle of U.S. Sports Medicine.I seem to have been on the (no pun, please!) cutting-edge of current Emergency Room Medicine. Today's "Journal of the American Medical Association" finds in a study of 150,000 Emergency Rooms, black ER patients are significantly less likely to get pain medication than either white or hispanic ER patients. http://www.redorbit.com/modules/news/tools.php?tool=print&id=1200547.

"Well, isn't THAT special!" SNL's Church Lady might say. Not really, Church Lady.62 damn years after my fave Aunt Rose stepped out of character to suggest I not be allowed to go see allegedly racist flick "Song of the South" the Disney Corporation's got that forbidden Video scheduled for marketing in early 2009, AFTER the 2008 Presidential Election. Disney aint stupid. Neither are Hillo and Billo Clinton; their itty-bitty health plan, you'll recall, caved like a cheap suit before the Insurance Industry's "Harry and Louise" TV ads. Since Red State voters hate Insurance Weasels more than they'll ever hate either Clinton, all Billo had to do was what he does best: BULLSHIT! Enough "spleen." Zippedy-DAMN-doo-dah!
