As if.

EVERY Republican member of the House speaking against the Gosar censure seems to believe that there is no such thing as stochastic speech inciting violence. Can't help wishing they were right, but they're not.

Does anyone know . . .

Every now and then my oxygen provider will call to tell me that enough time has passed to make me eligible for an upgrade or replacement of equipment. Does anyone know how I'd find out if/when I'm eligible for a replacement lift chair?

Thanks in advance~

The Rittenhouse judge elicits a question:

Can judges be removed for being non compos mentis?

And just out of curiosity, has any judge ever been removed in the course of a trial?

From the trenches

When the phone rang a couple hours ago I recognized the number, one of the medical offices at the hospital. Sure enough, the caller works in the clinic that provides my cardiac and pulmonary care; they are also the doctors who care for the hospitalized covid patients. She was calling to apologize for their slowness in responding to a prescription question. I thanked her, but told her that no apology was necessary, as I’d been hearing from other providers that covid patients are once more overwhelming the hospital.

Another of my doctors in a different office has just postponed a procedure that had already been postponed once before, both postponements due to heightened risks brought by the infected population. Anyway, she was relieved to learn that I am fully vaxed, boostered, and have received my flu shot. I noted that she sounded exhausted, and she just sighed and said they are all very tired. And when I asked if those currently occupying the covid beds are from the group that refuses to be vaxed, her response was “Every. Single. One.” She sounded on the verge of tears.

She was also relieved when I suggested that my upcoming appointment could be done virtually. Before ending the call, I told her that I’m incredibly thankful for their continuing dedication in the face of such unnecessary suffering. And I can’t help wishing that those unvaccinated who insist they’ve “done their own research” could listen to the research that this one nurse is living all day every day.

Citizens beware

Boo

From my recliner in the living room I can see the bathroom. So? During the last minutes of Maddow’s program there was a small noise, and I turned in time to see the bathroom door slamming shut. From the inside. There’s no window in there, and I don’t know anyone small enough to slither down through the ceiling vent. Hmmmm. Bravely grasping my trusty cane, I went to investigate. Turns out that the hook on the back of the door got tired of holding my heavy robe, and when it broke the robe dropped to the floor between the door and the wall and pushed the door closed. Been a while since my poltergeist acted up, seems that it’s moved on from tossing spoons around the kitchen. Yippee.

How now GOP?

Don't bother me, I'm busy.
