My local hospital, one of the top ten in SoCal, has 40% Medicare patients and 40% MediCal. They manage. Children’s Hospital LA is 90% MediCal and delivers world class healthcare.

Waymo has had 29 cameras (newest version optimized with 12), plus LiDAR, radar, and audio sensors. Tesla self driving has 8 cameras and no other sensors. That’s why Waymo is safer.

I forget who said it, but I read it in Talking Points Memo: It could be Trump’s Razor; the most likely explanation is the stupidist explanation possible.

They’ll have to go the way of people named Farthing.

So, in caving the eight Dems adding funds for Senators who falsely claim they were wiretapped and guts food safety. We would have been better off if the shutdown never happened.

What a jackass! The GOP voted to enact all these cuts six months ago, when you thought it wasn’t the right time to fight them. Now the same vote is somehow important? Well, I’m glad you see a political posturing benefit for you; too bad it doesn’t help the public.

Also to be fair, it can be argued that with this endgame they should have just let everything go through from the start. No SNAP or paycheck disruption. And then Angus King essentially says that we can’t fight Trump. Then what are they doing?

Marlk, Durbin has always been a weasel. When the Soviet Union was falling apart, he was with President George HW Bush urging the Soviet Republics not to declare independence. It would complicate our foreign relations. Too bad about your right to self determination and human rights.

Can you hear us laughing at you?
November 10, 2025 at 7:19 AM
That’s right. This leads to people like Susan Sarandon believing that it doesn’t matter who you vote for or which party is in office. This outcome is no different than if all the senators were Republicans.

I’m afraid the lesson that the GOP takes from this is that if they wait long enough the Dems will fold. I also don’t see much value in forcing the sure to fail vote; the Republicans voted for the cuts six months ago. Whose opinion is changed when they vote for it again.

I’ve got an IBM Selectric on my credenza. For some reason, you still run across some governmental forms that are still on NCR paper.

You’re smart enough to know that economies of scale, simplification of administration and removal of profit means national healthcare is cheaper per capita than our system. Medicare, with copays and extra coverage purchased by members, is cheaper than private insurance, even group employer coverage.

It reminds me of The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene (also a pretty good film). Man wrongfully accused of murder is at a seance. Thinks killer is there. Lights go out. Could scream and not get killed. But might embarrass him. Better to chance being stabbed.

You guys are so good at this Tina would be proud.

Red sky at night, sailors take warning. I learned that from the Bobbsey Twins go to the Seashore when I was six.

As a White Sox fan, we call this wishcasting. As in, he hit .300 two years ago; he’ll do it now.

Due to disability, I have not been to Toronto, a great city with great people, for 20 years. Are people still drumming on plastic buckets outside the plaza at Eaton Centre at Yonge and Dundas?

I’m pretty sure this means Vanderbilt football loses to Missouri and Texas the next two weeks. Back out of the top ten.
