Tea Hags, and other clueless

Tea-Hagging v. Tea Party

That's Tea Bagging .. or teahagging in this instance
Here's a slew of pictures from the Tea Party ..

This morning around 4 AM I was surfing XM radio, in bed, with earphones on, and "clicker" in hand. I landed on two talk show guys, and I wasn't about to open my eyes to look at the ID screen, I was trying to sleep afterall. . A quick look at the XM's line-up this morning suggests it may have been Covino & Rich, because they're the only talk show listed in the vicinity at that time. Anyway, here were two guys, which conversation sounded like this:

“	GUY#1	So wow, did you watch any of the Tea Party news?
	Jerk	What a joke. They really outdid themselves in stupidity with this, and that's saying something.
	GUY#1	Who's "they?"
	Jerk	The Republicans
	GUY#1	Is that who was doing this? I think there were a lot of Libertarians there too.
	Jerk	I don't care, this was rght-wing financed and they made fools of themselves, and don't even know it.
	GUY#1	How so?
	Jerk	Teabagging! How clueless can they be not to know that their teabagging parties are making them a laughingstocks?	”

Who's Clueless?

gunnypink said...: Well, despite, or in spite of all the tongue waggin go on, we had a pretty good tea party here in Sioux Falls, in fact it got onto youtube. Truth be known, there were Repubs, Libers, Dimmos, and all classes and kinds of people in attendance. It is really too bad that the loudest voices in this country can't see the forest for the trees. Or as George Jones sang, when he got home and found post-it notes all over the house, if you can't see what's happenin, maybe you can read the writin on the wall.; 4/19/09, 2:21 PM
Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Rodge, I'm faced with a dilemma. Major in Criminal Justice or Radiologic Technology? Do I want to arrest these commies, or kill them with radiation when they come in for an X-ray or CT scan? I know where the money is at, but, I don't know what to expect from the math and physics for Radiology.; 4/20/09, 12:19 AM
Anonymous said...: Josh - Putting aside any favorable bias I have toward you for your political views, IMHO,you are an intelligent young man who should do fine with physics and math of radiology, unless of course you've found that you have no aptitude or liking for math and science. From the few rad techs I've talked to, the most difficult thing to learn is how to find and stick a deep vein for IV prep without hurting or bruising the patient.

If you choose the justice route and are interested in the cerebral side of CJ, go with an eye toward the FBI, if you want to bust bad guys every week and like a good fight, be a city or county cop.

Either way, talk to people who have taken such curricula and work in the field. If you can arrange it, spend a few days on the job with one.

That's an engineers' two cents worth; maybe there is someone lurking here who has actual experience with those careers.
Best of luck, Josh! It's been fun watching you turn 19 going on 28.

Anonymous said...: Finding and "accidentally" MISSING a deep vein for IV prep whilst hurting or bruising the patient if he or she just happens to be a liberal commie rat bastid doesn't seem like much of a limitation to me. We all make mistakes. I say go for it. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.; 4/20/09, 11:03 AM
Anonymous said...: Josh - The math & physics can be challenging if you had an average aptitude in high school, but it's not rocket surgery. I did nuke med for a few years before going back for the masters, then radiation therapy physics. And I'm certainly no genius. Just go with what you really want to do and you'll succeed.

Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick-

I really appreciate the input! I think science can interest me alot, math is, eh, sketchy for me. I'm in a hell of a boat because whatever I do major in, it's going to require math in some way, so getting rid of the radiology idea because of it would be a bit asinine. I'd just be embarrassed as hell if I studied, studied, studied, and failed. Blegh.

What kind of engineering do you do? Another one of those pesky math jobs. :D

For the liberals, I'll treat the x-ray machine like a tanning booth. I jest of course. I'll just contort my face into some horrifically shocked one while I look at their imaging. Make them swear it.; 4/20/09, 2:14 PM
Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Let's hope I read imaging better than I proof read my damn comments.; 4/20/09, 2:26 PM
Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Don- You must have posted while I was writing. Challenging is fine, but to read the internet, you'd think it had a 90% failure rate.; 4/20/09, 3:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Josh - degree in mechanical, did machine design, manufacturing engineering, now retired, do a little consulting when the project is interesting.

Do some more investigation on the details of the math covered in the rad tech field. While it may seem formidable at first glance, if it is applied math for rad tech rather than math abstract theory (IOW, don't worry too much about why the math works, just accept it, understanding will click on like a light bulb one day) you may find it's not too bad. I found that math for me became easier in college, as it began to connect more strongly with the subjects I was studying rather than being an abstract concept standing alone, as it was in high school.

Around here, rad techs intern in local hospitals; go find some and talk to them.

Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Thanks a ton Dan. I've read some people say that 'math just clicked better in college' and didn't know how that worked. I get what you're saying, and can hope. I think I'll go bug one of them soon.

Thanks a ton.; 4/20/09, 9:26 PM
Josh Fahrni-Barn Army Dog Catcher said...: Bahaahahaha. Dan = Dick. Forest Gump is playing in the living room and I just got back from the fishing boat scene.; 4/20/09, 9:27 PM
