I spend most of the morning at my yearly VA checkup, blood work etc. and everything was going so so then a dude came in and turned the tv on. Yup you guessed it it was set at fox noise. In the hour and most of a half I never heard Obama's name so much in the prior 6 years. If you didn't know better you would have thought that there was hundreds of Obama's running around running for everything from dog catcher to ass wiper. by the time I got in to see my doctor I was a basket case, pissed off and in a state of panic. I say to him that boy am I glad to finally get back here to see you and he looked at me funny, we don't exactly like each other, I make my self clear the reason I said that about how the teevee was going on and about Obama did this bad stuff to Obama did that bad stuff. This dick of a doctor says well he is trying to change the constitution to where he can run for a third term you know. I rolled my eyes and then gave him the old evil eye and he turned to his computer and started to type. that was the end of that. I don't know and don't care who he votes for but I do KNOW who or what channel he listens to on the tv and thats fox noise. I will be asking for a different doctor as I don't think this jerk has my better interest in mind any more.

Correction: it's not a short story, and it's written by (not about) a Clinton staffer. ucrdem Oct 2014 #22
I meant "the short story" as compared to the "long story" MannyGoldstein Oct 2014 #24
Story means fiction. This is a tendentious essay, written by an interested party. nt ucrdem Oct 2014 #25
Are you deliberately being difficult? RufusTFirefly Oct 2014 #30
Not in a publication that routinely publishes fiction. ucrdem Oct 2014 #31
You must not be a regular reader. RufusTFirefly Oct 2014 #41
The term in the OP is "short story" and it means fiction in any context. ucrdem Oct 2014 #45
