I'm thinking backlash. 75 years from now, when the so-called "news" venues are so clogged with garbage that real actual news is nearly invisible in the mass of dumbness and what there is of it is crap, somebody will happen upon a website that features the story of the history of the Chicago Tribune, and they're like, "Hey! Look at this! Look how clean they were in those days!" Somebody else says, "Wow, that is so cool! And look, they didn't even print comments!" Word spreads, and a descendent of Bill Gates says, "Look, I've got money. Let's put an edition of this bad boy on the street and see what happens!" The crowd goes mad! The paper sells out in an hour! Second, third and fourth editions are published, and it's still not enough! Heard on the street: "No comments! No fucking comments! Why did it take us so long to do this???" Here's where my dream gets really silly. Social message boards become . . . like . . . completely empty . . . echoing silence. Okay, I'm off the rails. Sigh.

Lol pretty much

Be like me. Drink what people gift you For some odd reason, male surgeons get tons of whiskey gifts. The ladies tend to get perfume. Probably tastes awful. Go figure.

Never forget, Regeneron is also under emergency authorization.

35% of your nursing students cannot pass Crippled Chemistry? 45% of students cannot pass the easy half of physics? Those are problems that run very deep.

Well, I think this may be a pic from some event done after she landed...

He wasn't.

My position has shifted a little on this over the years. Yes, it’s more expensive for the insurance over the years than it is for the refrigerator, but typically not orders of magnitude more expensive, and if it gives you peace of mind then I would go with the insurance.
