Will donors deserting the GOP give to the Democratic Party?

We're going to need a huge war chest in order to fund races for the House and Senate. Not just to unseat the cretins who failed to convict Trump in the impeachment trial, but in order to keep and expand our majority in the House.

As disgusted as the big-pocketed donors may be with the Republicans, they may not want to fund their opposition. Conservatives definitely won't want to fund a Democratic Congress that supports President Biden's unabashedly progressive agenda.

What do you think?

A (now former) patient just came in, positive for COVID-19, and contacted just about every surface

she could reach.

She was diagnosed positive at one of the local emergency rooms this morning, and we didn't find out until after her rampage through the waiting room.

We threw her out, disinfected everything we could, reported it to the clinic manager, and banned her for life.

Goddamn some people...

I think the second COVID-19 vaccine dose is kicking my ass.

I’m aching all over and I’ve got chills.

I didn’t feel this way after the first dose. I may also have overdone it at work, too.

I bragged that I could ‘tanker-tough’ my way through it. That’s what I get for showing off...

A thought regarding that repellent "Six Million Weren't Enough" (killed in the Holocaust) meme.

As awful and as horrible as that sentiment is, it occurred to me that at least people who embrace it are admitting that the Holocaust happened.

That's progress...I guess?...

"Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?"

I would never want to freak one of my patients out by telling them that. But I have been tempted...
