One of the worst thing that can happen to a person is to get sick, and the more serious the sickness, the more worse it is. It can sure be expensive, too, if you don't have good health insurance. Or, worse, if you don't have ANY health insurance. Which I do. But, anyway. For example, my youngest daughter has to have braces. We're talking about $4400! And nevermind that this is my 3rd daughter to get braces and one of them had to get them TWICE because she didn't wear her retainer. And, never mind that my WIFE got them a few years ago, too, even though I thought her teeth were PLENTY straight. So, we need to do something about the cost of orthodontics and other health care.

This aspect of the platform has generated a lot of email to me and is obviously capturing the hearts and minds of voters. Accordingly, I am announcing the broadening of this platform into a fullscale WAR ON ORTHODONTICS. If that goes well, we may broaden further into a WAR ON DENTISTRY.

I'm guessing this is a war that will probably never end, since, try as you might, there will always be nefarious dentists around somewhere.

Right. There will never be an end to it, but we WILL prevail.

Yeah, it'll be like pulling teeth. There'll always be a dentist to fill the cavity left by the removal of another, but if we stick to the drill, Dale should at least get some kind of plaque for it all. The bridge to the future may require some braces here and there, but we must not brush our responsibilities aside, but root out the decay that is indentured in that evil cabal: orthodontics. To the victor goes the crown.

Thank you.

Impressive!!!

Dale, have you considered making Nanohedron your Official Speech Writer? (On the off chance you would happen to get writer's block, that is.)

*wild thunderous applause* Thank you, thank you.

Actually, Dale is one of the funniest writers out there. I just offer up short groaners and soon my wind is spent.

Nanohedrom is promised a place in My Government, seated at the right hand of the Undisputed and, one would hope, willing to leap in front of me to take a rotten tomato in my stead.

Incidentally. I saw Idi Amin has left us. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I make a wicked marinara sauce. You want garlic? Shallots? Bring on those tomatoes. Projectile tomato-mashing on my own person is the secret to that special je ne sais quoi in my private recipe. 'Tis but a small sacrifice; to be able to adorn the pasta of the Undisputed makes up for all.

May none mourn his passing.

In light of said discourse, I find it necessary to throw my hat into the ring and run for Governor of California. We must not tolerate ANY war so, as candidate for the Green Peas party, I will fight (in a passive way) for tooth, justice and the American weigh.

What is martinizing anyway?

Maybe we should ask Martin? It just might involve a potato.

I want to confess the source of my own fierce
loathing of orthodontists. When I was about 12
I wanted to play the flute. My orthodontist produced
a book 'Facial Deformities From Wind Instruments'
by Oliver Teethout.
The flute, it said, can produce a short, thick upper lip.
There was a photo of a poor devil who looked
like a rabbit.

'Your upper lip is short enough,' he said sagely.

No flute. I had to wait until I was 60 and too
freakin ugly for it to matter anymore!
This orthodontist was the nicest man,
and a fool.

This is why I have never had children. Chiffandfipple to victory in California!
