    Right now, Washington trails Tampa in the third. But guys, I'm tellin' ya, if Daniels can stay in one piece, he's going to make them a decent QB.

    @LuFins-Dad said in It’s starting:

    Well, for one thing, Kap was hardly unknown. He was a starting QB in the Super Bowl. For another thing, a Donald Trump supporter should not be casting stones about a candidate’s sexual escapades.

    Here’s my proposal

    the first two years of a PELL Grant can ONLY be used at a Community College or Trade School.

    Any student applying for a loan must pass an exam where they calculate out the monthly interest of the loan and show the the total amount paid over 10 years.

    based on our experience with foreign exchange programs, the host families generally do it for the money rather than for the opportunity to give an enriching home to a young student. I would take Ax up on his offer rather than get placed with a random host family.

    I always always do my research first and know who I want to see. I’ll usually take my PCPs recommendation because he’s very well connected in my system, but I still research them first.

    Physicians are not interchangeable widgets, which is why I despise the hospitalist system.

    The spleen was normall. I read that in one of the news reports. To my mind, the whole thing started with misreading the CT. I bet the radiologist is also going to be investigated. Sure the surgeon gets a lot of blame but not all of it.
    The whole description of mobilizing the spleen is all nonsense because the spleen stayed in situ. What was removed was the left lobe of the liver. Which means there was no splenic hilum. Only the fissure, which is the falciform. between the left lateral lobe of the liver and the rest of the liver. If you go dissecting in there with a ligasure, , u r going to hit a portal, hepatic and biliary triad. No wonder blood came gushing out.

    I think Nordlinger is missing the point:

    Democrats are gloating over the fact that Cheney(s) endorsed Kamala, when he was the nearest thing to Hitler (other than whatever Republican might be near the White House, of course) 20 years ago.
