Lunch break
Makin' progress on semi-re-civilizing this joint. If it doesn't rain between now and Thanksgiving, I may be able to get it back fit for human habitation.
Loved those clean sheets and decent meal last night. Got my book, a 30 year old shoot-em-up (boy's version of the girl's Harlequins ;o), then turned on the teevee hoping to stay awake long enough to see Brian Binnie on Letterman. Made it but barely, mostly in the twilight state between awake and coma but before the show, was treated to scads of back to back pol ads. Major league barf but one was intriguing. Florida has the idiot system that allows it's Constitution to be amended by a majority popular vote, go look at it sometimes. 'tis true, poor Florida has one of the stupidest voter bases in the US. We've even got a Protect the Pregnant Pig Policy in it now. The intriguing one stated that Florida kills 31 people a day in our medical system so I did a little googling earlier and came up with some stats. According to Florida Capital News, there were around 45,000 medical licenses in Florida as of December, 2002. Let's see, 31/day = 11,315/year. That means each med license holder gets to kill someone every 4th year. Now, going over to Casualties.org, there have been 916 Coalition troops killed by hostile fire during the last 20 months. (916/20)/30 = 1.53 deaths/day. 31/1.53 = 20.26 . That seems to indicate our med license holders have a 2,026% higher kill rate than all the Islamogoons in Iraq. Could it be Florida's medical system is actually the major drive of al-Quieda?
