Ponderable

Patients are not permitted in the nurses' station, Mr. Israel. Once you've returned to the ward floor I am sure we can have a productive conversation about the radio and the other machines designed for the patients' benefits.

I would be so disappointed if this transgression of the rules meant a more formal use of one of the 4th floor machines needed to be administered to you again. I believe we both remember how disconcerted you were the last time you left us no choice but to have you pay a visit there.

Watch it Bob....someone might use this tool set on ya if you keep these psychotic rants up.
 
Are lobbyists the problem? Trump and his advisers seem to think so. They’ve vowed to keep lobbyists out of the administration, and Trump has signed an order forbidding all members of his administration from lobbying for 5 years.

It’s not clear whether these plans will succeed, but why should we care? Lobbyists are individuals hired to represent others with business before government. We might lament the existence of this profession, but blaming lobbyists for lobbying is like blaming lawyers for lawsuits. Everyone seems to complain about them right up until the moment that they want one.
 
I forgot all about it.

Immigration attorney on what’s next after ‘Day Without Immigrants’ protest


Did anyone notice this was going on? How did it affect your life?
Too Cool
GOD BLESS AMERICA


The “day without immigrants” became a teachable moment
Do you remember that “day without immigrants” protest that we talked about last week? It took place as predicted (and in fact demanded by activist organizers on the left). But in at least one location in Tennessee some of the participants learned a rapid and likely lasting lesson about the intersection of free speech and personal responsibility. Bradley Coatings, Inc. found out at the last minute that their tightly packed customer schedule was going to go up in flames when nearly 20 of their employees announced with roughly 12 hours notice that they would be taking part in the poorly defined protest and not participating in their job assignments. They made good on the threat and their employer responded in pretty much the way you would probably expect. (KTNV)

A total of 18 people were fired from a Tennessee business after joining the nation-wide protest “A Day Without Immigrants.”

The 18 employees at Bradley Coatings, Incorporated in Nolensville, Tennessee told their supervisors on Wednesday they’d be taking part in the nationwide movement. Then, on Thursday, they were told they no longer had jobs.
 
The following was printed in the newspaper "The Nation" on August 9, 1900. Special thanks to the Molinari Institute for preserving this essay.

To the principles and precepts of Liberalism the prodigious material progress of the age was largely due. Freed from the vexatious meddling of governments, men devoted themselves to their natural task, the bettering of their condition, with the wonderful results which surround us. But it now seems that its material comfort has blinded the eyes of the present generation to the cause which made it possible. In the politics of the world, Liberalism is a declining, almost a defunct force. The condition of the Liberal party in England is indeed parlous. There is actually talk of a organizing a Liberal-Imperialist party; a combination of repugnant tendencies and theories as impossible as that of fire and water. On the other hand, there is a faction of so-called Liberals who so little understand their traditions as to make common cause with the Socialists. Only a remnant, old men for the most part, still uphold the Liberal doctrine, and when they are gone, it will have no champions.--Edwin Godkin

We are still beguiled by this other fairy tale: that a group of liberal-minded reformers can take charge of the economy and approximate a free and equal society.--Max Forrester Eastman
 
I'm very concerted. Although we lost braddah Romey last year. His tenor voice and Ono stand up bass will be missed. We would be happy to play music for your patients.
Gentle Hawaiian music, in the style of the late Bruddah Isreal? I think that might be a wonderful addition to the ward's current playlist.

Mr. Ono has not passed. He's just upstairs receiving much needed special treatment. He'll be back to his old grumpy self in no time.

Now about the soft Hawaiian music. Dr. Spivey has concurred it will be a welcome addition to the ward. However, we are afraid Mr. Sander's suggestion of adding Foghat was unanimously rejected.

Foghat and Santana would do you some good...

Maybe throw in Huey Lewis and Sublime to set the tone..

And close it with Metallica.

Now Bob about this cross dressing Nurse thing you've embarked on recently.....
