And if so, then do I have a duty to notify the police of their threat of self-harm?

2. DC 911 operators ...
... can no longer keep up with all of the political suicides among the GOP of late.

However, I understand that a mass memorial service for the not-so-dearly departed will be held next November.

4. They are saying socialized medicine
that scares a lot o fundy's and middle america. Most of them are not bright. I think we should remind them that congress and the president get government subsidized health ins. Republicans suck.

6. It would normally
be but unfortunately the MSM will allow the Republics to spin it to blame the Dem's and twist it into a demonstration of prudent conservatism.
