There also seem to be a lot of "news" sites that consist primarily of telling me what was on Saturday Night Live…

OK, so this is somewhat unrelated, but seems like the only place on the internet where I'll ever see if anyone else agrees with me.

Or just restore Lincoln's original speech, which was longer before they added the current president.

I say, include the current office holder by virtue of keeping the show up to date, but don't give them a speech.

The film in the show does just that. It gives a brief historical overview of the presidency, mainly focusing on how a few of the biggies (Washington, Jackson, Lincoln) have influenced the developement of the office. The actual "Hall of Presidents" portion is just a roll call, with brief speeches by Washington,…

My niece and nephew introduced them to me and I was quite impressed. They're both retro and modern and the same time.
I'm also impressed that when the cartoon is set in a foreign country, the dialogue is in the native tongue without any subtitles (Minnie's Dutch accent is completely wrong, but that's a minor…

Easy solution… just revert back to the old formula of the show. The current president never had a speech until they gave one to Bill Clinton. They just nodded when their name was called, then once the roll call ended, Lincoln gave his address.

It could go either way. You could claim that the ativan lowered his inhibition enough to take the final step and commit suicide, or his psychological pain was so great that even the drug failed to calm him down enough. Nobody will ever be able to answer this question definitively.

That has never been my experience with any of my patients on dialysis, if they are, in fact, candidates for transplant (not everyone with end stage kidney disease is, despite what the patient may want). It is entirely possible that the cases mentioned in the segment simply weren't good transplant candidates. The…

I hate to be nit-picky, but someone from the Flemish community of would call the dish by it's Dutch name, Stoofvlees, not the French carbonade.

I have two patients with a chronic graft rejection who are now back on dialysis. One rejection was fairly recent, the other occurred a few years ago. Both of them are eligible for a repeat transplant, but they're waiting for a suitable match.

Doctors only get paid to see a hospitalized patient once day. And most of the work they do on your behalf usually occurs behind the scenes. That "three minute consult" probably also included 10-20 minutes reviewing your chart, entering orders, documenting the plan of care, and talking with other hospital staff and…

See my comment above. I have several patients who have been on the transplant list for years, but the need for kidney transplants excedes the supply at any given time by several orders of magnitude.

There is a very small supply of transplantable kidneys at any given time, finding a suitable candidate with suitable immunulogic markers for the kidneys that become available is very hard, and unless they have a 6/6 match on a certain key set of markers, the likelihood of rejection is relatively high. It has nothing…

A culinary trip to Iceland and no mention of Brenevin, Icelandic shark and whale?

Sounds pretty similar to the hotdogs I've eaten in Stockholm, minus the lingonberry jam.

Not to mention the tubular flatbread.

Belgian chocolate, yum, yum, yum…

Are airplane pretzels as funny?

Wait, we can't have dinner now? Damn progressives and their war on dinner!
