I’m thinking that America is working up to a primal scream level. We’re only in month four of this collective prison sentence that 330 million of us are serving (apologies to babies and those under 18, some of us tried to protect you) and the news becomes progressively insane on any given day. We could laugh for the next week over the appointment of Judge Box-of-Wine leaving Fox News and going on to become the interim U.S. Attorney in D.C. but forget about that for the moment. Shove that to the back burner because this is what just exploded on the front burner. “Dr.” Casey Means, the newest nominee for U.S. Surgeon General isn’t a doctor. Whut? And Bobby Kennedy, Jr. has no problem with that. (THUD as hands leave the keyboard and body falls to the floor.)
I asked the spokesperson for the Stanford School of Medicine about this “very top of her medical class at Stanford” claim. The spokesperson said there are no rankings because they use a pass-fail system rather than grades. https://t.co/hhfwEi3cg4

Back to America and primal scream therapy, I’m thinking along the lines of Network when people all raised the window sashes and leaned out screaming, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not not going to take it anymore.” When will that moment arrive for us? Because if today doesn’t do it, if the Pirro/”Dr.” Means one-two punch doesn’t do it, what will it take?
Means is not qualified to do anything beyond lifestyle podcasts. She is woefully unqualified for the position of Surgeon General. So what will we see here, another Pete Hegseth shove through in the Senate and J.D. Vance casts the tie-breaking vote?
I’m assuming that the brain worm that lives in Bobby’s head told him that this would be a good idea to nominate this woman as Surgeon General. This is truly the nomination that could bottom Pete Hegseth’s. I still don’t think that it can quite bottom Hegseth’s, Hegseth in his current job is the absolute worst. But this is definitely a close runner up.

Friends, we are always in need of donations and subscriptions. If you can help us cover our expenses we can continue to cover this Barnum & Baily-level farce known as the current U.S. government. Believe me, we have not hit bottom yet. Ursula
What? “Dr.” Oz wasn’t available?
What about “Dr.” Phil?
Good point. Dr. Phil as Surgeon General has a real ring to it.
