  1. I like this one.  But might be more appropriate to show Trump opening the exit door, Congress and Biden shutting it, and then Biden opening one up a bit further down the loop on the treadmill.  Bonus points if the artist worked in the CIA. 
    Pray tell what Trump did to get the troops out of Afghanistan in four years in office.

    My first night on call as an intern.  Third day on the job as a new doc.  Was given checkout on a patient that was on inpatient hospice and may pass that night.  We would have to go and pronounce anybody that died.  So I get called from the nurse that this patient had died as expected, and I go to the room to pronounce him.  You’re taught before starting internship to check for pulse, listen for respiration’s, listen for heart sounds, and note the time of death. 
     

    I walk in the room and a bunch of family is there, very sad/quiet with occasional sniffles.  So I introduce myself and say I’m sorry and do the whole song and dance to make sure he’s dead.  And all I really know at that point is from the movies and TV where the doc announces the time of death.  So I announce “Time of death:  11:42”.  And the family loses their shit and starts screaming and wailing.  And I just kind of slink out of the room.  My resident laughed his ass off at me for not just documenting the time of death in the chart.  

    Good job Dr. Asshole. Just kidding. That's a tough gig.  

  3. An ID is required to do a number of things - drive, open a bank account, set up utilities, buy property, travel on an airplane, etc.  I don't see the problem with needing one to vote.
    As long as the ID is free and easy for everyone to obtain, particularly the infirm, elderly, and those living in rural and isolated parts of the country. If it's not, then we're imposing, effectively, a poll tax.

  4. Fuck you. This is a good friend's wife and I'll post the info wherever the fuck I want to. He put it on his own Facebook page. These people happen to work in the medical field and they and the doctors are certain the vaccine was the cause. 
    I'm sorry for your friend and glad to see she appears to be doing better. There have been tens of millions of Moderna vaccines distributed in the U.S. with few apparent serious side effects. So I don't think it's unfair to question whether she has an underlying condition and her reaction was a rare aberration. The Facebook posts you captioned do not exactly medically illustrate all the variables of her situation.

    Wouldn't she be facing prosecution in state court by the Fulton County D.A.?  The D.A. is a Democrat so I can't imagine these charges have a long life. Hopefully.

    I think this is a big part of it.  The last 10 years or so, and the last 4 very much so, religion in the US has really debased itself.  I like my religion and I grew up more religious than most, but it has gotten harder and harder the further religion gets divorced from 'being good.'

    I liked my religion (Catholicism) too until my early twenties. Then Bush got elected and the Catholic church (or at least its powerful leadership) went total right wing and partisan or at least to a much greater extent than I remembered growing up. That along with the pedophila scandals and the unbelievable hypocrisy was just too much to bear.  I asked myself a simple question one day, why am I taking moral direction/instruction/control from these creeps?

    Men in Kilts are some short fairly entertaining episodes about Scottish culture.  Done by the two male leads of Outlander, they are like 20-30 minute shorts on food, music, sports, etc.  There's a pretty good bit on the making of single malt scotch.  

    My son for some reason has a fascination with Scotland.  His mother bought some brick in a ruin in Scotland in his name, and now he's a honorary Lord of the Manor.  He loves it.  

     

    I watched a couple episodes last night. Good stuff. I like that they don't take themselves too seriously. And Scotland is gorgeous.

    While I hope this is true, cause Gaetz is a douche, I'd be more apt to believe if it was 17 year old boys.

    Yep. I saw the headline on the NYT and was confused because I thought Nestor was older than 17.
