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.
I just envision Bachmann's Republicans colleagues in the house when she takes the floor going "Please don't be crazy, please don't be crazy, please don't be crazy, damn."
Well, except for the handfull who start shouting, "Trees cause more pollution than cars!"
They know that a certain percentage of their constituency is crazy and must have their interests represented. So they're probably glad she's there.
How long does it take to get bad.
no idea if this is any different from any other flu -- my doctor said I had the right idea -- fever over 102/3 for a week -- go see the doctor . Any signs of a bacterial infection -- go to the doctor. anything that suddenly gets worse -- go to the doctor. and this is with diabetes. Now I have asthma on top of it. I tend to go to the doctor a little sooner now. But more importantly, I tend to stay home more.
I go to the Dr. if I have a fever more than 3 days. Usually by then I am very weak from lack of eating enough.
I suspect if there weren't a Bachmann, Keith Olbermann would have to invent her to have a toy to play with in the off-season that isn't Palin.
My rule of thumb is stay home if there's fever, nausea, or exhaustion (with colds I may feel crappy due to nasal symptoms, but I'm usually clear-headed and have enough energy to work). I see a doctor if I have a fever that lasts more than a couple of days, goes above 102°, or if I experience unusual pain.
I don't think I'd wait a week with a fever over 102, but I haven't had a fever in decades.
I don't think I'd wait a week with a fever over 102, but I haven't had a fever in decades.
I wouldn't wait for half that time.
I just realized I have no idea what I'm going to cook for dinner tonight and I can't think of anything we have to cook. It might be a pull-out-the-emergency-tuna-helper night.
This is just sad:
This study investigated biased message processing of political satire in The Colbert Report and the influence of political ideology on perceptions of Stephen Colbert. Results indicate that political ideology influences biased processing of ambiguous political messages and source in late-night comedy. Using data from an experiment (N = 332), we found that individual-level political ideology significantly predicted perceptions of Colbert's political ideology. Additionally, there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements. Conservatism also significantly predicted perceptions that Colbert disliked liberalism. Finally, a post hoc analysis revealed that perceptions of Colbert's political opinions fully mediated the relationship between political ideology and individual-level opinion.
Unfortunately, only this abstract is available for free, so we don't know, say, what percentage of conservatives don't realize Colbert is satire....
