Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, it was the Arsenio Hall show. Does that make it better or worse?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Does that make it better or worse?

There's far less Pilsner Dignity in appearing on the Arsenio Hall show.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeah he was.

sigh. I guess we should just be glad Thomas isn't doing ads for Pepsi.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wasn't Clinton campaigning at the time and not a sitting president?

Yes.

x-posty....

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, that was in the '92 campaign. Yes, when I was eighteen, I was just the kind of dork that worked on. I don't know what I'd think now...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Eh. Thomas is appointed for life. There's not much we can do at this point. It will probably just be an interview. He's not that overtly political, regardless of his conservative judicial philosophy.

What's his name was on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, and it was AWESOME.

By "what's his name" I mean some other Justice, who was hilarious.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Paperdol, you are not being an asshole.

But in terms of hospitalization, if she is uninsured a hospital may not admit her if it is the medical opinion of the attending physician that she can be adequately cared for at home. Actual policies vary, but if a physician thinks home care is adequate they can send her home with a supply of antibiotics and if actual adequate care is not provided - well there is a reason the uninsured have a lower life expectancy.

Which has nothing to do with your decision. If a bunch of other neighbors are taking a turn then she is getting as much unqualified inadequate home care as the doctor prescribed. Your taking a turn would not change the fact that she belongs in a hospital. The asshole was whatever doctor chose not to prescribe hospitalization. And he or she may have been beaten down by a system that does not provide resources to take care of everybody.
