The grinding jaw

Did anyone notice anything slightly amiss about Bush's last few speeches? I knew something was wrong with him ... something had changed. His body moved somehow differently. He seemed detached, and his jaw kept kicking around and shifting from side to side.

By a show of hands, I'm sure only a couple of you reading this have done coke. I've never done coke, and I don't plan to. However, I have put myself through the paces over the years, and I can only think of a few other things that can make a man grind his jaw like that. Someone close to me is on some pretty potent anti-depressants, and the facial spasms and jaw grinding is a constant issue with certain drugs. Also, sometimes after heavy boozing (only on the weekends), I'll wake up in the morning and have a shivering jaw. I'm also really sensitive to light, so I squint and sort of grimace.

I mention this because all these things are telling signs of substance use/abuse. Under the care of a doctor, it is acceptable, despite the fact that the drugs they give are far more life-altering than most street drugs. Heroine is legal with perscription. It is called Oxycotten, Rush Limbaugh's old favorite. So is Speed, Cocaine, Morphine ... and all the other little nasties like zanax or xanax (I'm not sure how it is spelled), Lexapro or Ambien. It has all been legalized and renamed to deter public outcry.

Drugs like this, especially when mixed with alcohol, can make for one out of control, insane night, believe me. And the question falls to the White House Press Core: ask about Bush's jaw. Get Scott McCllean on PUBLIC RECORD with an explanation. Why?

Keep your eye on the birdie.

Notice, in that video linked to above, that his jaw is constantly twitching. This can only mean one of several things:

1. He is abusing coke or methamphetamine.
2. He is on perscription(s) such as Adderal or Lithium.
3. He is drinking liquor heavily - this is especially true the morning after a vodka binge, I've found.
4. He is on a perscription(s) and mixing them with alcohol, which is just as bad as option 1.

Some have suggested it is a byproduct of stress, because he is working so hard to protect our country. I have seen people under tremendous stress, and none of them have aquired this condition because of the pressure. I do not discount it altogether, but there is a much greater potential that our President has been perscribed MAOI's, and is running this ship in an altered state.

I am not leaning toward any illegal activity on his behalf ... at least not on THIS ONE MATTER. However, if Mr. Bush is on Lithium or Adderal or Zanax, I have terrible fear for this country. I have known plenty of people who were perscribed these drugs, and their decline was harder and faster than any of the coke or meth heads I've ever known.

It's a crazy world. And I would not be shocked if one of my reasonings were dead on.
