Just got back from going to the dentist for a cleaning. Necessary though it is, it just goes to reaffirm why I could never have been a doctor or a dentist. Hats off to those who do. Especially good looking Dental Assistants! (Images courtesy of www.drfreyman.com) Why is it having

Woke up early this morning. MSNBC is on, talking about cheating. They have the usual cast of criminals on, a pontificating bitch arguing that marriage is holy and sacred, a bimbo who says every one is doing it, Ron Reagan….(not sure where he comes down on this….) and a psychologist.
