Idle Musings: Ma and Pa Kettle Visit the Proctologist
As a cancer survivor, I visit a lot of doctors. Glad I don’t live in Nevada where Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden suggests offering your doctors live poultry in lieu of cash or a payment from your insurance company. I don’t have any chickens to barter, and I’ve never painted the exterior of a house or been very handy with plumbing, but I could write the doc a nice story about Babe Ruth… That should be worth an MRI or two, right?
And in case you missed the actual story…
…These are “solutions” being proffered by our politicians. Sometimes you’d swear there are people out there who have some kind of large gap between the lobes of their brain.

I would like to know something. Has Ms. Lowden never shopped in a grocery store? I can drive less than ten minutes from my house, and get an organic-raised, ready to be cooked 4 or 5 pound chicken from the local Whole Foods for about $10. Why, if I were a doctor, would I ever want to be paid in live, still having their heads feet and feathers chickens, when I could get the ready to eat version for $10? Can you see a doctor accepting 20 or so chickens for a typical office visit? Who has 20 chickens running around their yards?
The whole thing is insane. Did Ms. Lowden get her idea from watching an episode of “Little House on the Prairie” for the first time?!

Sue Lowden sounds like a moron. It would be something if Reid gets re-elected because the Republicans didn’t run a reasonable alternative.
