And medicare doesn’t cover dental. Or glasses.

The side effects of Millicent’s Glaucoma medication would behoove a vast majority of Americans who need their minds opened up and their thinking to be unfettered by the corporate media machine.

We need to wise up and quit stumbling over our hypocritic and hegemonic economic and militaristic policies (if there is any difference?) again and again.

The Empire has peaked and now we must pay the piper.

Millicent Hayes realizes after a long American life that Pink Floyd, not the media or congress, was right all along:

Money, get back.
I’m all right jack, keep your hands off of my stack.

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition.
There’s a hunger still unsatisfied.

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again.
Dragged by the force of some inner tide.

Down and out
It can’t be helped but there’s a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about?

You can own everything you see.
Sell your soul for complete control.
Is that really what you need?

The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Blitzer belongs on Fox News, not a real news network. He constantly tries to twist everything around to mean something entirely different from what was said, just like his interview with Maher. He isn’t a journalist, he is a joke.

Millicent is very perceptive, despite the crippling effects of her glaucoma medication.

In a recent interview of Bill Mahr, Blitzer had e-mail at the ready to confront Mahr on his statement that America was stupid.  These e-mails were provided to Blitzer by his producers within a couple of minutes or so Mahr making his fairly obvious observation.
