Looks like Orca’s chickens are coming back to roost.

It’s their fault. As usual, I’m innocent of all charges. Trumped up or not.

Hope ya get better!!!!!!!! It must be the WisCONsin air! :)

The only potential problem I have with alcohol is when I upend the bottle and nothing else comes out.

I hate it when that happens.

"Ted Kennedy is a giant in American political history. He’s done more for health care than just about anybody in history. We are going to be rooting for him. I insist on being optimistic about how it’s going to turn out."

"Obama really seemed to me to inappropriately focus first on policy, and then on himself—and his own supposed attribute of optimism—with what he offered."

Agreed, given that conservatives have preserved as many free-market principles viz health care as much as humanly possible. Sen. Kennedy had a huge hand in the creation of HMO's and I don't think there's been a comparable health care disaster since then.

Oh boy. Susan Estrich on Fox. I think that’s my queue to take a break and start being productive.

[Mom MD]

Ditto!
have a good day all

“Prayers for his recovery and healthful retirement”

I can’t stand the man, he’s done a lot to harm this country but I don’t want to see anyone suffer like that. It’s hard enough to stay healthy when you DON’T weigh 300 pounds.

WHHHHHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

OK. I’ll leave now too. TOL can take over...

[SE Mom]

Estrich saying the initial worry this was life-threatening has passed and now they’re just trying to figure out the cause.

[Admin Moderator]

Careful! You have errands to run.

Not now...

[glock rocks]

Two words: lawn chairs.

I have already had 3 post removed. Are the mods from dumocratunderground working at FR now???

[pctech]

I think your sentiments about the man's ethics are echo'ed by most of us here, but I'm also glad to see your prayers for his well-being.

We all know what the Rats would be doing if this were a GOP member that this happened to. Look what they said about Reagan.

[peggybac]

Still nothing on Drudge.

[9YearLurker]

Yes, he not only made it a political statement, but a self-congratulatory one at that!

[Kimberly GG]

I’ve been watching Fox and their non-stop coverage sounds less like reporting that the man has had a couple of seizures (& crisis over) and much more like a tribute to the memory of his life by his friends and colleagues. Covering his life, none has yet to make mention of Mary Jo.

Oh for heaven’s sake...quit whining.
