As you're no doubt aware, everyone in medicine from barely paid janitorial staff to nursing assistants to specialists outside of the ER must be present and/or on call during holidays (with caveats, as there are few derm emergencies).

Consider, if you will, that your circle of friends, family, and acquaintances might not be representative of the population as a whole.

I'm down with that. I've been to see movies on Christmas Day, but not in a long time. Frankly, in the age of Netflix and Amazon Prime, there is absolutely no need for movie theaters to be open on holidays anyway.

Elect me Supreme Emperor-Over-All, and I'll make sure that's done in the first week I'm in office. …

Maybe you agree because it's unnecessary and abusive?

"Hey, wage-slave employee, want Thanksgiving off to spend time with your family, eating more than you really should and watching football? Tough shit - come in or we'll fire your ass."

Because practically everyone (in my universe and whom I know personally, with the exception of one relative who teaches school) has to work holidays, the suggestion that working holidays is unusual or objectionable just strikes me as confusing.

Nobody cares about nurses or orderlies, either, and they sure as shit aren't making doctor wages.

Part of it's a punitive thing. Incarceration should not be wholly about punishment, but it shouldn't not be about it at all either. If you defraud thousands or millions of people out of millions or billions of dollars, you deserve to be separated from society for a while.

GodDAMN. That...THAT is keeping it real.

I'd love to oblige with the Loretta Lynn GIF, but cannot figure out where she's featured in the video.

But making it all about his disability is pretty sleazy.

In Des Moines, Iowa, where I'm from, October 30th is "Beggar's Night," and trick-or-treating is done then. Part of the deal is there's an actual "trick" expected - typically a terrible joke will suffice.

I grew up in Des Moines, and moved to an area where TOT is on Halloween proper.

Even good cops seem to have a bad habit of covering for bad ones.

I'm glad they got those murderers but gizmodo, where were your posts on facebook when innocent people were being killed by the terror state known as israel?

Am i wrong, or does the first GIF show how the guy who stands a little bit higher explodes into several pieces and the guy lower loses his head?

I think this should be the new "Fuck This Spot In Particular" GIF.

I'm just amazed that Russia are making people nervous with a 40-year-old airframe design.

The point is that some folks will go to any length to excuse or ignore bad behavior by police officers, no matter how awful it is.

Great - then he'd be Anaerobic Slime Gene Simmons. Just what we friggin' need.
