Abortion Barbie, Wendy Davis Bailed on her Kids

January 20, 2014January 21, 2014 ~ Pharmer ~ 4 Comments

Breitbart.com has focused on inaccuracies in the bio of Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, which misrepresents some of the “hard times” of her life, and depicts her as a divorced teen mom. It seems her first divorce was not until age 21. Another interesting milestone is that her second divorce appears to coincide with the final payment on her Harvard Law School student loan. Impeccable timing.

The more salient point is the fact that Ms. Davis left her daughter Amber, by her first marriage, and her second daughter, Dru, in the custody of husband number 2 after her second divorce. Yep……. mom bailed on the kids. What a gal.

Remember the lefties complaining about Palin’s supposedly neglecting her kids as she campaigned with McCain in 2008?? Palin’s family and her marriage remain intact, to this day. Will you hear the same lefties commenting about Wendy Davis (who gained undying love from Girl Scouts of America with her infamous pro-abortion filibuster) leaving her daughters in the custody of her ex husband while she pursued her political ambitions?

Not a chance. It’s as OK for a left-gurl to abandon her daughters as it is to abort them.

Obama Says People Don’t Like Him Anymore Because He is Black

January 20, 2014 ~ Pharmer

Obama has noticed his poll numbers going down and this is his response: “There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president.”

The guy thinks that the people who voted for him have changed their minds because they don’t like his color anymore.

It wouldn’t have anything to do with the slumping economy, the record joblessness among Black Americans and the rest of them too, the burdens and planned malfunctions of Obamacare, the incompetent foreign policy, the NSA snooping, and the abnormal symbiosis with Planned Parenthood.

Noooooooooooo…. they don’t line his skin shade anymore!!!

Call a Waaaaaaaaaaambulance for Obama.

Staying Ahead of the Curve

January 19, 2014January 21, 2014 ~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Your friendly Blogger has a general policy of diverting discretionary expenses, and even some others, away from suppliers and merchandisers who oppose the conservative American lifestyle. Few people can be 100% successful at this, but it helps to give it a good try.

Six years ago, the Pharmer decided not to send her kid to New York City on a school class trip. Basically the class trip was a “shopper driven” choice, and the money expended was not commensurate with the educational value. In addition, the people of NYC had persistently been supporting very leftist politicians and policies which are not tolerant of a conservative lifestyle. Bloomberg, for example, ordered the medical schools in NYC to train ob-gyn residents to do abortions, took hostile action against crisis pregnancy centers, doled out the ineffective Plan B to school kids and in general, acted as an intolerant busybody leftist. There was sufficient reason to avoid sending hard earned, discretionary funds to New York City.

Since then, New York City has elected an even crazier and less competent mayor, and the governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, has plainly stated that pro-lifers are not welcome in his state.

**Governor Andrew Cuomo says Right to Life people are not welcome in New York**

Pharmer had already understood the general situation, and will continue to withhold funds as much as possible from both NYC and the state. It is suggested to the remaining conservatives in New York that they seriously consider emigration. Yours truly will support refugee and sanctuary programs for genuine, conservative emigrants from New York. These programs are viewed as necessary because New York has a reputation for pursuing emigrants for taxes.

Update: Radio host Sean Hannity announces that he will leave New York State, in response to Andrew Cuomo’s anti conservative rant, and of course the astronomical state taxes.

Government Retaliates Against Priest Who Sued over Shutdown of Mass

January 19, 2014 ~ Pharmer

Navy Chaplain Fr. Ray Leonard had begun service to the U.S. military after 10 years of ministering in Tibet, under conditions of religious suppression. He was surprised to find religious freedom deteriorating in the U.S. upon his return.

During the government shutdown this past fall, chaplains were banned from celebrating Mass at the Georgia Naval base. Rev. Leonard was threatened with arrest for administering any of the sacraments during the shut down. He then filed suit against the Department of Defense for forbidding him to perform the duties of a Catholic priest. A day later, he received a letter reinstating his right to perform his duties. One week later, he was informed that his DOD contract was no longer valid, and offered a new contract which required him to agree not to receive payment for services already rendered. He was the only chaplain to undergo such a contractual change. Fr. Leonard had been scraping together money for his food and rent during the months of November and December, in lieu of his salary. (We expect the IRS to be going after him for that, later on, if he can’t account for every penny and every free meal. )

Thomas More Law Center has amended the original lawsuit, adding a complaint that Fr. Leonard has suffered unlawful retaliatory damage from the government in response to the first lawsuit. A court has ordered the government to respond to the amended complaint by March 3, 2014.

This Should Be an Out of Pocket Medical Expense

January 19, 2014January 19, 2014 ~ Pharmer

From the compendium of oddities which fill the emergency departments of hospitals comes the story of a porno addict from Guandong Province in southeastern China. His tale tops that of Officer Melia of New Jersey, who apparently had a thing for cows, and Kenneth Pinyan of Washington state, who, uuhhh …… played the wrong game of catch with a stallion.

In fact, this 39 year old man is apparently facing charges of animal cruelty in China for putting a 20 inch, live, Asian swamp eel in the same anatomical location that Kenneth Pinyan utilized for his sport. The eel desperately tried to chew his way to freedom, causing a good deal of intestinal injury to his “host”.

“It was still alive when we got it out, but it died soon afterwards, which was probably a mercy,” said a member of the medical team that performed an all night surgical repair on the porn addict.

Apparently the Huffington Post has more on this story, but your friendly Pharmer does not want to go there.

Treatment for this kind of thing should be an out-of pocket-medical expense, but it’s likely covered with no deductible on the platinum plan of Obamacare.

What Your Pharmacist Doesn’t Know about Plan B

January 18, 2014January 18, 2014 ~ Pharmer

The folks at a major healthcare professional education provider were scooped by Mother Jones and, prior to that, by yours truly, regarding the ineffectiveness of Plan B ONE-STEP for the bigger girls.

They had to update their not so good analysis of the morning after pills and …. it’s still not so good. If they were offering compensation, yours truly would tell them more, but this example is blogged to illustrate a single point. The public should know that their busy health care professionals are treated like mushrooms: kept in the dark and fed B.S. concerning birth control in general.

Pharmacists have to think about a concept of steady state when asked by physicians to dose antibiotics and other drugs, or if they work in the field of drug development. Steady state is the condition during which the intake of a drug is in a sort of equilibrium with the output or the elimination of the drug. This assumes regular dosing of the drug. Steady state generally occurs after several doses and after about 5 times the half life of the drug. Ideally drug levels at steady state are high enough to be effective, and low enough to be ‘non-toxic’.

Casting about for the reason why Plan B ONE STEP doesn’t work in American women of average size or greater, the team at this Professional Education Provider, led by N B O’ Pharm.D., BCPS,wrote the following:

“The exact mechanism for the reduced efficacy seen in overweight and obese women using levonorgestrel is not known. One proposed mechanism is that in women with an increased BMI, there is a delay in time to steady state and a prolonged half-life as seen in studies with combined oral contraceptives.^21″

This nonsensically applied idea was blamed on the article below, which covered birth control hormones in general, and addressed the drugs that females take orally every day, or those which continuously supply hormone(s) to the body, such as patches and depot injections.

Edelman AB, Cherala G, Stanczyk FZ. Metabolism and pharmacokinetics of contraceptive steroids in obese women: a review. Contraception 2010;82:314-23.

Some poor PharmD educator is talking about STEADY STATE with respect to a drug which is taken in a single dose : Plan B ONE STEP!!

Steady State Never Happens with a single such dose!

This is just a single example but it illustrates the point.

1) Most of your health care professionals are generally lost in the weeds regarding birth control, and don’t know what they’re talking about. That includes the ones who really SHOULD know what they’re talking about.

Bonus) Be assured that birth control generally does not work as well in real life as the studies claim, and many factors contribute to this.

Please consider adjusting life style and reproductive planning with at least these two facts in mind.

Call a Waaaaaaaaaaambulance: Congressional Staffers Fret About Obamacare

January 17, 2014 ~ Pharmer ~ 3 Comments

A Congressional Management Foundation survey reveals that Congressional aides in Washington DC, who make between $95,000 and $170,000 yearly are fretting over the cost and coverage of Obamacare. One staffer commented: “Everyone felt as if we were pawns in this political argument,” says The Politico.

Remember, these are the people who write the regulations emanating from the multi-thousand page “Affordable” Care Act. They’re feeling put upon by the cost of Obamacare, even though the Feds are subsidizing 75% of their cost.

The bureaucrats and legislators of the federal government are living in a dream world. How can they complain about any aspect of the bill which they are inflicting on Americans, whose median family income dropped to $51,017 as of Sept 2013?

The federal subsidy for these Washington bureaucrats is funded by the very families who are only making half or a third of their salary. How do the idiots in government think Obamacare, or the subsequently planned single payer plan, is going to work????

Extensive Probings- the Lawsuit

January 16, 2014 ~ Pharmer

The hose that goes there — **Extensive probings**

The story of David Eckert, the New Mexico victim of a colonoscopic drug search continues with a settlement of a portion of his lawsuit. This is an extremely fast offer from the cops of the city of Deming, and Hildago County, where the probe was conducted. So far, Mr. Eckert stands to collect 1.6 million dollars. Suits against GILA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER and doctors Robert Wilcox, M.D. and Okay Odocha M.D. continue.

Recalling from the initial story of a huge violation of 4th amendment rights, and a massive breach of medical ethics, the above mentioned docs ran a hose from Mr. Eckert’s anus through his large bowel, all the way to his cecum, looking for drugs. In doing so, they risked the possibility of breaking the bags, if there were any, and killing Mr. Eckert. That was only part of the story of a harrowing night spent in police custody, but not under arrest.

Mr. Eckert deserves to be compensated for this assault upon his person, but there is a major problem with the settlement thus far. The taxpayers, who had no part in this crime are the ones who are paying for it. Perhaps the public will need to be more attentive to the stupidity of its government, law enforcement officials, and ancillary personnel to stop this kind of behavior.

Minimum Wage Increase Associated with increased Unemployment

January 16, 2014 ~ Pharmer

Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 Signed on 5/25//2007

from $5.15 per hr unemployment = 4.4%

to $5.85 per hour on 7/24/07 unemployment = 4.7%

to $6.55 per hour on 7/24/08 unemployment = 6.1%

to $7.25 per hour on 7/24/09 unemployment = 9.5%

As of 2008, 13 states already had minimum wage rates at or above $7.25 per hour.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have not noticed this correlation of minimum wage increases with increased unemployment, as they claim that increasing the minimum wage does not affect employment rate. They have persistently lobbied for minimum wage increases, as well as amnesty for illegal immigrants. Their argument in this area actually shifts the question to the state of the economy and so-called job creation, without mentioning job losses and outsourcing.
