*** Murtha on Meet the Press:

He failed to even swing at the softball questions Russert lobbed his way (and Russert's failure to challenge Murtha's false assertions was just the latest in a disappointing string of performances from him) rambling and stumbling over his words. But when he spoke clearly, he performed even worse.

He actually cited Clinton's performance in Somalia as a model for fighting the war on terror! This is truly scary. Here is the exact quote: "like Clinton did in Somalia, you just have to say, "OK, it's time to change direction."

Provocative retreat from Somalia as a positive model of foreign policy? That's a new one.


*** I'm not sure if Kos's status as a paid consultant for certain Democrats constitutes actual corruption, unless he's backing a candidate that he wouldn't otherwise touch. For as much rightful criticism as that distasteful being receives, backing Mark Warner is one of the few smart political moves I've seen him make. That said, the lack of candor seems shady, and it's interesting to watch these charges of "Kosola" play out among the nutroots. And fun.

Via Commissar, who has more.


*** Save Screech!


*** An author amusingly documents his experience with an SSRI anti-depressant:

"No matter what anyone says, we basically have no clue how this works." And that's that. He writes out the prescription, for 20 milligrams a day. "If you'd like, we've got some counselors upstairs you can talk to, but it sounds like you just want the drug," he says, and hands over the slip. "It could take a couple of weeks to kick in. Be patient."

I walk around the corner to CVS. Boom: Fifteen minutes with a doctor, $15 at the pharmacy, and I've scored a month's supply of a powerful, mood-altering substance.

Interesting how that's true for some drugs, but not others.

I am heartbroken, I had always thought that Screech was a great actor- now it turns out he really is a dork. Where have all the heroes gone?

One of the worst problems for me is that the SSRI I'm taking does work. I've tried several kinds that didn't, and finally found one that prevents me from going @!*& nuts without making me a walking zombie. But he's right. I can walk into my psych, tell him I'm feeling 'anxious' without qualifying what it means, and get as much Klonopin as they can shove in a bottle.

And 15 minutes? He's got a slow doc. I could pull it off without sitting down.

If I'm not mistaken (and that would be a rarity), we don't know exactly how anesthesia works either. We just know it does.

Back to the story, I'm one of those rare cases where I actually have a chemical imbalance in my brain that causes panic attacks and not simply a case of being 'shy'. I'm not. I'm extroverted to the nth degree. I like talking in front of people. I like being the center of attention. Always have, always will. My panic is pure, unadulterated terror that pops up for no reason whatsoever. The Lexapro helps prevent that from happening. I'm still emotional. I still have feelings (I admit paxil drained me from 'feeling'. The Lexapro doesn't seem to do that).

Sad to see that something that actually works very well for me (zero side effects) get's abused so much by docs looking to score a quick $20 copay.

Well, the system is sort of the issue. GP's have things like benzos and anti-depressants in their standard arsenal, yet have very little training on how and when to prescribe them. Many other drugs with similar (or more positive) safety profiles and efficacies have much higher barriers/standards for prescription. Prescription psychiatry in general is a brute science at the moment, a description amplified when it's casually practiced by individuals without specialized knowledge or a great deal of individual attention for their patients.

That many outcomes aren't like yours.

My wife in on a SSRI and a mood stabilizer for Borderline personality disorder. Personality disorders are notoriously difficult to treat, especially borderline, but the results from this medication have been amazing.

I think a lot of the negative reaction to SSRI's is due to the fact that they really mess you up for the first month or so, but after that your brain chemistry levels off and usually the person feels much better. The problem is that most people quit before that happens.

Evidence for the prosecution? Pay Kos to go against his own judgement and you get better judgement!

I've just been staying at home doing nothing, but pfft. Today was a total loss, but oh well. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.
More or less nothing seems worth thinking about. Not much on my mind today. Today was a total loss. My mind is like a bunch of nothing, but maybe tomorrow. So it goes. I just don't have much to say recently, but whatever.
Not much on my mind right now. I haven't been up to anything. Today was a complete loss. That's how it is. Not much exciting going on these days.
