Well Its another Labor day weekend

As you all know Labor day meens it's the end of another summer.

Part of Americana, like apple pie, baseball, and the weekend BBQ's. OF course I am talking about The Jerry Lewis Laborday telethon. How many more years do we have to watch this man cry and beg for money, saying help "Save my children".

Don't get me wrong it's a great org. For the 40 million people that get the help they need.

But as I may have said in the past I am one of the 40 million people that have have a from of Muscular Dystrophy. And I have seen more then my share of Drs over the past 17 years. And everyone of them has told me there wont be a cure in my life time.

MDA has been around since the 1950's, and has raised over 1-billion dollars. Now don't you honestly think there would be some sort of treatments if not cureable. Someone with HIV can get medications to knock that down. And that is still a new diseases concidering how long MDA has been around.

I'd rather have a from of cancer, at least I'd have a 50/50 chance with Chemo-Radiation Therapy

In my opinion they already have drugs to treat this but they are so costly the average joe like myself and the other 40 million people that have this diseases couldn't afford.


Honestly I don't want to offend anyone that lost a loved one that has/had cancer or HIV or whatever diseases.

I just go get goddamn frustrated this time of year listining to all the BS coming from the telethon.

I am going to hit the bottle again my drunk is wearing off.
