I just received a PR release from an independent group pushing the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump in 2012. I prefer not to drive people to the website, so won't link it here, but I'm sure if you use teh Google you can find it.

Some paragraphs of this PR release are just priceless, tho. I have to share them with you.

A PR Advisory just arrived in my email, headlined

ADVISORY: Doctors, Faith Leaders Hold Dayton Health Reform Forum

I thought...hmmm..what's this? Then saw that it came from a group called Doctors for America. I tend to be skeptical whenever something claims to be "for America" these days, since so many "for America" groups are far to the right. So I checked 'em out.

On visiting its website, I quickly learned that this progressive grassroots organization numbers some 15,000 activist physicians and functions under the Center for American Progress.

They really ARE pushing for solid health care reform...and in my region they're reaching out to African American faith groups that may have been hearing a bit too much rightwing propaganda from social conservatives.

I did a quick search in the Kos Search box for this org and didn't find anything, so I'm posting its link and a bit more context below the fold.

I was made aware of this Newsmax release by a fellow writer late last night. It suggests that Obama risks a coup by US military officers!

Although the article includes a disclaimer that discussing this possibility doesn't "advocate" such action, it certainly provides some (to me specious) arguments that sound seriously out of line, which might actually incite insurrection.

What is the role of law-abiding citizens in informing the Secret Service or FBI about troubling information that appears in (supposedly) legitimate sources? Is it worth our time/effort to expose it? Or is this a free speech issue, so we should just ignore these statements and let them be disseminated without making a fuss to the "authorities"?

Quotes & links are below.

Today, July 1,2009, finally, I qualify for Medicare!

I never dreamed that I would be thrilled--nay, ecstatic--to (almost)reach age 65.

I have Health Insurance again! I've purchased a good supplemental policy and the Part D drug benefit. So I get to buy drugs today, for a copay of about $8 instead of $80...drugs I quit taking for the last few days because (a)it wouldn't hurt me to stop these particular drugs briefly and (b)I knew I'd save close to $70 by doing so. With my currently-meager budget, $70 is a lot of dough.

Of course, I will probably hit the infamous donut hole--if not this year, then certainly next. But at least I can go to the doctor for my aching shoulder or my weird rash or my sore feet. I can visit my oncologist on schedule without fearing that one extra test could send me into 18 months of payback to the hospital MRI department, as happened before. I could get the (non-cancer but important) surgery I've been putting off for two years because I simply couldn't afford it. Now all this and more--even flu shots--are accessible to me!

For more on how normal self-care decisions came to be agonizing choices, see below.

Like hundreds of other Kossacks, since I can’t make it to DC, I’m attending an Inauguration Party in my hometown (Cincinnati). It’s been a loooooong time since I felt like celebrating a new president. This year is a gleeful exception-- I’m skipping work for a few hours to meet with friends, watch TV speeches and festivities, and just generally whoop it up.

We’re doing our thing between 11AM & 3PM on Tuesday. In the evening there’s another gathering at a local coffee shop, to watch the reruns. Both events will be on the simple side, as far as fare is concerned, because we all want to concentrate on Obama-mania and the historic events of the day. Punch & soup are promised for the first round. Other libations at night.

I love to bake, so I’m preparing a traditional Slavic nut roll, Poteca, decorated in a non-traditional fashion with a red, white & blue icing-version of Obama’s Horizon campaign symbol. Recipe follows below the fold.

How to Date a Republican (with poll)

I’ll bet I’m not the only Kossack who is unwillingly single and unattached. I’ve been sashaying around the online meet-markets for about 18 months now, ever since the Love-of-my-Life ran off with a nurse. As a resident of Cincinnati, an area known for its Rightwing Fundy core, I have zero interest in hiding my left-leaning self from a potential partner—The whole idea of "partner" to me means someone I respect, with whom I can get along. I happen to be an old gal, but I’ll bet my Obama08 button that single Kossacks of both genders, any lifestyle, & every age occasionally contemplate (gasp) dating a Republican. See here and here.

So, as Obama has promised to lead us toward a post-partisanship era, I’ve vowed to expand my opportunities for companionship, pleasurable moments, and (possibly) passion in a pan-partisan manner, while retaining or enhancing my Democratic principles.

Come with me below the fold, to view my personal guidelines in this adventure (and, of course, to take the poll!)
