Bob the Doc

* * * *

What's the story behind your name? Actually, my name is Bob. I kept seeing Son of Bob posting all the time and since I am a doctor, I went with Bob the Doc to keep the two of us distinct. I go by Dr. Bob everywhere, but too few people remember the Muppets anymore, so times they are a changin'.

Where do you live? Fabulous Branson, Missouri: home of Yakov, Shoji, and me.

How old are you? 37.

Tell us briefly about yourself. MN born, still recovering. Can't lose that darn accent, don't cha know. College in WI, med school in MN, residency in IL, Air Force in MT. Now living the American dream in MO. Wonderful wife, great kids 12 and 14, lots of pets and guns. In my dreams, I would like to start a secret society of snipers to rid our fine country of some of its "less desirable" humans. We would specifically not go for head shots to increase their suffering. I would probably start with OJ, but there's lots of released child molesters that would be good too. Then I wake up and see the news and want to go sleepy again. Sweet sleepy land...

How long have you been reading IMAO? About 3-4 years ago my wife said to me: "Honey, there's this website you should look at..." The rest is history, it seems to be one of the few sites not blocked by the filters at most worksites, so you win by default and I read every day I am at work and most days not.

What's your favorite IMAO post? I would have to go with LOLTERIZT, but the Daily John Edwards Fabulous Fact also keeps me peeing myself regularly.

If you had to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? "Loves Gay Porn". I used to teach for Kaplan Testing and one of my more genius students wrote that on my review...and it's always stuck with me, it just seems to work.

[LOL -Ed.]

What's your favorite political issue? Socialized medicine. Oh boy. We have that already people, it's called MEDICAID. Talk to your local medical providers and ERs about how well that works for us. There's another program out there even more socialized (and worse) and that's called IHS. I once had to go into the ER to see an IHS patient because they didn't have a thermometer at home, literally that was the reason for their visit. That's great health care delivery there. People that read this mostly know but the Dems need to pull their heads out: medicine is not free. Gas is not free. Electricity is not free. Somewhere along the line people really got it in their heads that medicine shouldn't cost anything. What? My favorite is the young, able, MEDICAID smoker that has a cell phone more expensive than mine. Now that makes for a tough visit to cope with. I could go on and on, but I will shut up like I must before I get in trouble.

[But you had a good rant going! -Ed.]

Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. No, I am just not that cool...yet.

When is it best to play God? Playing God is like playing doctor...it seems really fun until you have the job. I would love to play God for a couple days, then when everything is really screwed up and going to hell, hand it back over and know just how difficult the job really is. Plus then you get the bonus of actually meeting God and maybe hanging with Jesus, which would really be cool to tell the story of at dinner parties. Plus it would really help me out in knowing that He is really out there watching out for us and the hippies are all wrong and will be going to hell.
