Especially since I have BILLS to pay. Damn. Living is expensive.

Keys and CDs I can see, but...no steering wheel? Since when? I drive LOTS of rental cars. They all have steering wheels.

This coffee popsicle is making me pretty happy. I think I have found my preferred summertime weekend caffeine delivery system.

Ooh. That sounds delicious!

I don't even understand how you would drive a car without a steering wheel!

Cancer Treatment Centers of America are on the shady side, aren't they? Misreporting survival rates and turning away people with lower chances of success? I just saw an ad where they claimed a 95% patient satisfaction rate and thought "Yeah, it's not too surprising that a high percentage of the people who were treated for cancer and lived would be happy about it, but then I doubt people are filling out patient surveys from the afterlife."

Coffee. Popsicles. Well, I guess I DO need to buy popsicle molds!

Matt,

sounds like you are on to something. DailyKos had a post about this: [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I've only driven one keyless car, and never even heard of one without a steering wheel.

Keyless, yes. Steering wheelless, how?

Cancer Treatment Centers of America are on the shady side, aren't they?

I've always assumed that they are only appropriate for treating a very small subset of people diagnosed. You need to be very motivated, committed and also open to the whole range of treatments they offer. But I hadn't thought they were out and out shady. Off to read the article now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I googled "complaints" and CTA and there are other things. They were investigated in 1993, but I didn't get that far in my reading.

Okay, I think their marketing is kinda shady if you don't realize that they are a private and absolutely for profit hospital and not really open to the public. But I guess I realized that after about five seconds on Google.

There's a skeeviness to it in some respects because they are going after customers at a terrible time in their life. I mean, they aren't caring for the very sick or the poor but they are a business. They aren't doing any of it out of the good of their heart.

Some people are both more motivated and able and willing to pay for either amazing insurance or they can pay for the treatment.
