The Book Even Made Carter Sick
Sep 28, 2010 Political
A Delta flight alerted ground control that a sick passenger was on board. Turns out that the passenger was former president Jimmy Carter and he was suffering an upset stomach. Carter was taken to a hospital and while he was in route the folks in the ER waiting room were “kicked out’ because Carter was on the way.
Carter was on his way to Legacy Village in Ohio to promote his new book, “White House Diary” but instead will spend the night at MetroHealth Medical Center for observation.
Can someone explain why the waiting room had to be cleared? They could have put him in a single room with the Secret Service and let the other folks get the treatment they needed. Instead, people were denied health care so a politically connected person could be accommodated. Hmm, sounds like what we will get under Obamacare.
What are the odds that someone in the ER was waiting there in the event Carter became sick and needed to be transported to the hospital? What is the likelihood that a person there would want to harm Carter?
Isn’t the Secret Service detail sufficient enough to handle any threat that might have occurred? How could he have been any more unsafe in the hospital than he would have been at the book signing?
I can’t imagine a has been 80 something year old man who has little impact on society could disrupt an ER more by being there among the commoners than by them being removed.
I hope he is OK but this is all a little too much drama.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Perhaps Clinton Should Give the Book Away
Oct 17, 2007 Uncategorized
Bill Clinton has a new book out and it is about giving. The book is not doing very well and has pretty much dropped off the radar. Clinton’s first book, My Life, sold over a million copies because he was out promoting it all over the place. He has not put in much time on the new book because he is busy trying to hustle his way back into the White House by selling us a bill of goods in his candidate wife. He also does not have the same motivation that he did with the first book.
In that one he rewrote history, so he was out hawking that book so people could see the way it “really” was, not the way some evil member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy would have you believe.
I guess what I want to know is, if this book is about giving and the merits of philanthropic work, why doesn’t he just give it away?
That’s right, making money is only bad if you are the one making it. As long as Bubba and Satan make money, life is good.
