The Silence of the Lambs, or, Who Is Scott Noren DDS, And Why Is He Saying These Terrible Things About Me?
Actually, Scott Noren DDS has never said any terrible things about me. I don't think Scott Noren, DDS knows me from Adam, and I don't know if that includes Adam Sandler. But apparently there is some web crawling software or something that searches for blogs with the slightest indication that they might be relevant and then submits the author's comments. I'm assuming that's why, in response to the item I posted back on September 15th, titled Breaking News from WTTI, Watertown, New York — a news story about the theft and butchering of a lamb from someone's farm that I used purely to make some totally lame (not lamb) puns — I received the following "comment". No, make that TWO comments, because Scott Noren DDS wrote so much it didn't fit in one comment submission. Which makes this all the more odd, since in order to submit the second part of the comment with the note, "(This finishes my last post)", one would think that Scott Noren DDS would have had to actually look at what he was doing. But I suppose that when you're running some kind of underdog political campaign, you have to take whatever opportunities come your way, no matter how inappropriate or bizarre they may be. Well, Scott Noren DDS, you may have inadvertently struck gold. Because I am going to give you a forum, not by approving your totally off-topic comments to the post you somehow stumbled upon (apparently only because it contained the name of a TV station and city within your frame of reference) and completely misinterpreted as some kind of serious local sounding board, but by posting it here as an entry all to itself, in its entirety, unedited, where it will reach my global audience of nearly a handful of readers, some of whom are actually in your state.
So what the heck. Here, for your edification and enjoyment, is some dentist who apparently wants to be a U.S. Senator.
Title: The demise of the political process
As I watched Steve Benen talk to Rachel Maddow today on her MSNBC show, it reiterated the fact that the media shows only what it wants,no matter what flavor.
As a US Senate Candidate that is just a peon health care provider without millions of dollars, that message rings loud and clear. We're told, Get on the ballot and then we'll maybe mention you...maybe throw you some sort of media dog biscuit. So the Leftist media ignores Progressive but fiscally conservative candidates like myself and unless we maybe win the MegaMillions, get no real chance to have our say on small issues like health care, the economy or gas drilling in Marcellus Shale for example. It's more worthwhile talking about right-wing fringers who are flocking to NY to pump up the volume in a Congressional District race in the Watertown,NY area. Hmmm...the fact that I spent half a day up in Waddington,NY looking at the problems associated with the Seagate International Bridge Crossing doesn't deserve a byline by the press there makes sense. The fact that there is major drug peddling east of that bridge that goes mainly unscathed by Federal authorities must not be important either. Thank goodness our smiling, attorney, Governor-appointed Senator "supports" a solution for the bridge issue (actually hasn't come up with a really good solution herself). I actually have a solution for this controversy that really is only important to that area and is objective, although might not be popular to all living there. Thank goodness Rachel concentrates on the really important aspects of New York politics and ignores the fact that Chuck Schumer is the #1 recipient of Insurance Lobby money in the entire US Senate and his partner is #8. That shouldn't have any real effect on why the Insurance industry will hose us with jacked up premiums through 2013 before what little if any affect the current legislation has on real health care reform.
Obviously I am being facetious, disappointed and frustrated at the fact that what little the public is informed on opposing voices within the Democratic Party is exacerbated by the liberal media that minimalizes us even further. When the expected 15% increase in monthly health premiums kick in (NY Times), the resultant increase in individual uninsured numbers goes up, and the jobless numbers increase due to layoffs because of these increased overhead expenses, bear in mind that the media has blocked candidates like me. Also bear in mind that as the real economy keeps tanking because of this and Wall Street fat cats reap millions from market manipulation, the little guy gets more and more disillusioned from this process. The thought that we won't have a Republican reversal in elections from the hopeful liberal media is premature. I for one have mild faith that the REAL Democrats like myself will rise up and eventually take back the Congress.

(This finishes my last post)
The message that this country needs a booster dose of better personal health responsibility, fiscal moderation and massive regulation of the Health Insurance Industry will eventually get out. I just hope it gets out before informed liberals and conservatives give up and start takiing their frustrations out by blindly voting for those who have never really been vetted against peon health care providers like myself.

Thanks for the press! I am only supporting capping private health insurance premiums immediately so that while DC wastes our time and money arguing about health care, the average person can actually try to pay their health insurance premiums. I have also proposed a non-profit mandate in 5 years. Frankly, I am not a fan of the liberal or conservative medias because they push their own political agendas. If not busy doing that, they're busy peddling Gold companies, coffee, computer-backup items, etc. Thom Hartmann for example mentioned that the big banks want to get their hands on Medicare..that they give big bucks to legislators to do this..especially republicans. Well, if he told the whole story it would include the fact that the #1 recipient in the entire Congress of Commercial Bank money is Kirsten Gillibrand, the Governor-appointed senator here. Let's get facts straight and also try to elect folks like me who are inherently against lobby money and money from individuals in insurance, banking/financial, oil/gas and Big Pharma. If this is all bad, then I apologize!
Dr. Noren
