WTF - am I in the Twilight Zone?
Edited on Fri Jul-27-07 01:55 PM by PCIntern
I finish up cementing a crown into this very nice patient of mine - we talk film, Philadelphia City politics - I'm feeling rather good abut things...for maybe 7 seconds...and I walk into my private office and see sequentially:

The Secretary of Defense talking with a frigging parrot on his shoulder

then

Cheney needs a Defibrillator replacement

then

Astronauts flying drunk.

This is just the most surrealistic existence one can imagine.

1. I was at the dentist getting a crown and came to work
and got on DU and thought the same thing.

10. That would be nice, I have always wanted to get together with
people from here. It hard to find people as informed in the twilight zone.

16. upon reflection,
I think that in many cases, not all, there might be some real disappointment.

But then again...

4. We are all in the Twilight Zone
I'd rather be in the Bizarro Zone, but beggers can't be choosers.

9.  It's like to old show One step beyond combined with the twilight zone
It's surreal as the twilight zone and one step beyond where you can't tell what's real or what will happen next .

I feel like we go up and down with hopes that reach ones mind then are shot down the next day and replaced by some other form of newly discovered horror , whether it's a weak none binding act of some bush signing statement or veto threat or a executive directive to further take away our rights .

Keep to containment center lights on and the trucks ready to go .

11. I am struck with similar feelings of tilt
It's a surreal soup we swim in.

Our demented leaders seem to be quite at home in it.

12. "Oh jeez, now it's drunken astronauts"
were the first words I heard when I woke up this morning. It was my hubby responding to an NPR report on our clock radio.

What a bizarro world...:crazy:

15. I'm still waiting to see "Drunken astronauts for Bush" banners
Yes - I think a lot of us found ourselves crossing over to a land of shadow of substance and a thing of ideas lately ;)
