The truly funny bit about Epstein’s objection to someone with a doctorate in education referring to herself as a doctor is that ‘doctor’ is one of the Latin words for ‘teacher’.

Sorry, I tend to like drama and surprise. I find news paper like titles boring. But if it's a nuisance then I guess I'd go with the boring.

It's not a nuisance.  Some people just like to bitch.

Ouch. Now that's ironic.

Delightfully so. Belligerent ignorance like Epstein’s is always a giggle.

They can, but they usually don’t.

Unless they're creationists or evangelical pastors.

I think I know what’s happening—this is deja vu all over again—I remember when Obama got elected the Right went batshit crazy and a long barrage of cuckoo rhetoric started. It was comical in a sense how the Right lost its mind.  We are now seeing same shit reappearing—as Jan 20 draws near we’ll see a lot of this craziness becoming the norm.

All this doctor discussion brings to mind two things for me.

One is how pissed my mother was when my then future sister-in-law brought a wedding announcement to show my parents and dad was down as Mr. He was a veterinarian - a DVM - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

The other happened a couple years ago when I was in a salon having a pedicure and some big-mouthed woman was holding court with everyone who would listen. I managed to keep my mouth shut as she regaled her rapt audience on why veterinarians weren't really doctors...they were people who flunked out of medical school.
