      - what did the coach do during the match? -- nm - Your Mother Should Know Remlik Sep 9, 20:39 1

    - This is where we disagree. I don't think it's that remarkable. :) -- nm - nubby (iPhone) Sep 9, 20:34 2
      - We haven't had a good pyro thread in a long time. -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:35 1

This is pretty funny... - David Sep 9, 19:56
sweet. some good flicks up on hulu this week. Charade and Night Hawks! -- (link) - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:53 [hulu] 2

maybe now DC will start using Supes in a manner befitting his station on Earth - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:49 7
- heh,...that's if DC still gets to keep him after all the lawsuits. -- nm - Your Mother Should Know Remlik Sep 9, 19:49 6
  - seriously though, he needs the GN equivalent of "The Dark Knight" to reinvent him in a grittier, more human way - farmer ted Sep 9, 20:08 4
    - and something that is not an Elseworlds. He's a tough character to write. Geoff Johns is doing a good job. -- nm - Your Mother Should Know Remlik Sep 9, 20:29 1
      - Dark Superman! -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 20:58
    - You are correct. Action Comics #775 = the only good Superman book, ever. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 20:11 1
      - i'm always correct, batbrain - farmer ted Sep 9, 20:13
  - even better. let him start AC and get the Detective Comics stank off his cape -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:55
Sports Illustrated season predictions are up. -- (link) - David Sep 9, 19:46 4

- Lee Jenkins is a smart man. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 19:50 1
  - Unlike Adam Duerson, which I assume is a pseudonym for Crackity Jones. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 9, 20:52
So is this Wilson dude a Wingnut Too Far? - Reagen Sep 9, 19:46 1
- I'm going to guess the answer is "no" -- nm - BB Sep 9, 19:49
Glee has some horrible lip-synching. I can't believe for a second sound is coming out of their mouths. -- nm - Ender Sep 9, 19:44 2
- I agree on this point - but still fun to watch. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 9, 20:10
- agreed. I think it is still very a solid show though. -- nm - Jovian Sep 9, 19:46
Ok, so seriously, is health care reform really this critical at this time? Economy, war, terrorism, budget deficit... maybe focus on these? -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:29 62
- Health care for everyone is a basic premise for a wellworking modern society - Danedukenuuk Sep 10, 03:08
- #1 most important. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 19:51
- As someone who lost their job and didn't have insurance (after paying a lot for COBRA) for his family, it's pretty important to me. - JaxSean Sep 9, 19:46 7
  - And that guarantees you'll be a good employee, doesn't it? - BB Sep 9, 19:47 6
    - It does stifle creativity when looking for jobs, that's for sure. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 9, 19:50 4
      - You're looking for a new job? -- nm - Boss Sep 9, 20:12 3
        
        Not at the moment, but I'm being so overworked, I wish I had time. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 9, 20:18 1
        
        Work smarter, not harder. - Boss Sep 9, 20:30
        
        In Russia you don't look for new job, New job looks for you! -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:16
    - It's amazing how my stress level dropped last month when I went on Medicare. Now I'm working because I want to work, not because I have to :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 9, 19:50
- Last numbers I saw Medicare was set to run out of money as early as 2012. -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:44
- yes it is extremely critical at this time -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 19:43
- Healthcare is always the primary concern. It's the definition of self-preservation. -- nm - David Sep 9, 19:41
- Healthcare is a sixth of the US economy and contributes a pretty big chunk towards the govt deficit - Roger More Sep 9, 19:40
- Absolutely it's necessary. -- nm - TWuG Sep 9, 19:31 30
  - Wasn't Amoxy's medical bills around Two Hundred Thousand Dollars for the aneurysm? I think of that and shit bricks. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:34 29
    - That sounds about right. My tumor was $160K, and that was just the hospital bill. - BB Sep 9, 19:46 14
      - I never knew...How are you doing now? -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 19:49 13
        
        I'm still recovering. I've tried typing with two hands but my right reverts back to hunt n peck - BB Sep 9, 19:56 12
        
        Damn...Makes my hospital stay seem like childsplay - amoxy Sep 9, 20:05 2
        
        When people ask how I am, I say "Still vertical" - BB Sep 9, 20:09 1
        
        I had a small brain bleed and have pretty much recovered -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 20:13
        
        Wow!! I didn't know this at all. I am glad that last part of your IM didn't happen. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:59 8
        
        The doctor said a couple more months and I'd just keel over dead - BB Sep 9, 20:06 7
        
        Is this the same kind of tumor Kennedy had, or different form? - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:12 6
        
        It is an acoustic neuroma - BB Sep 9, 20:20 5
        
        wow, I'm impressed you're still here. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 20:30 1
        
        So far so good. -- nm - BB Sep 9, 20:53
        
        Nice! ST was the most therapeutic place for me when I had the heart failure. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:23 2
        
        I had another site, but yeah, the 'Net is great for getting rid of all the garbage - BB Sep 9, 20:28 1
        
        Like your condition mine mostly happens to older folks. So the support groups were mostly retirees. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:39
    - It just seems to me that this was not one of the hot topics in opinion polls during the campaign. Now suddenly it is the most critical issue we face. - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:38 13
      - it's hardly sudden. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 19:43 1
        
        See my link below. It jumped in the polls in recent months. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:50
      - I have health insurance through my job. We have switched providers 4 times in 6 years. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:42 7
        
        BTW when I say cover my Cardiologist. Of course they will cover "A" Cardiologist. However when you are in treatment the last thing you want to do is - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:49 1
        
        "Don't get sick." -- nm - BB Sep 9, 20:24
        
        Heh. - kelly Sep 9, 19:48 4
        
        You need insurance because of possible complications from the disease. If you skip medical checkups they could be full blown out of control before - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:52 3
        
        Well, mainly I need it because I couldn't afford the $900/mo cost of supplies/insulin without it. :) - kelly Sep 9, 19:54 2
        
        It is very scary. Not to mention if we lost our insurance then couldn't get it because of an existing condition. -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:56 1
        
        I tried getting catastrophic insurance before I moved down here (so I wouldn't have to pay the $480/mo for COBRA) and the minute they heard the d-word - kelly Sep 9, 19:58
      - cancel your insurance and see how pressing it becomes to you -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:40 2
        
        Take a look at these polls over time. It's interesting that in many of them health care only started to gain prominence in the last couple of months. - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:49 1
        
        Because when the economy goes to shit, you have to cut something. People are dropping insurance to eat. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:55
- Only to sick people and people that might get sick, and to families of people that are sick or might get sick. Other than that no. -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 19:31
- do you have health insurance? -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:31 15
  - Yes and I have always selected jobs based in part on the benefits offered. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:34 14
    - And you have no older family members who may become uninsured as they age and face increased health challenges? -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 9, 19:48
    - I've never understood why healthc coverage should be linked to your job. Losing your job and your healthcare is a double hit -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 19:48 9
      - WWII. Necessary then, antiquated now. -- nm - nubby (iPhone) Sep 9, 20:18 1
        
        (I know this - I just don't understand it :) - Roger More Sep 9, 20:25
      - Maddening, isn't it? -- nm - David Sep 9, 19:49 6
        
        not personally - *smirks smugly* -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 19:52 5
        
        Actually the maddening part is that the same tired arguments keep coming up over and over again. "No socialised medicine" "Why now?" etc -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 19:55
        
        Damned foreigner. I hope you get grief when you show your passport next week. -- nm - David Sep 9, 19:55 3
        
        I already get fingerprinted. -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 19:57 2
        
        I hope you get a full cavity search from someone with shaky hands. -- nm - David Sep 9, 20:05 1
        
        I think these days they use a model of the Sunsphere -- nm - Roger More Sep 9, 20:13
    - that's great if you have that luxury. some of us don't and we don't deserve to die because of it -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:37 2
      - What do you do for a living? (just curious, not debating) -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 19:41 1
        
        part time marketing for actors/screenwriters. part time paralegal. - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:42
The reason to not respect Ben Stein is that he's a Nixon apologist. -- nm - Reagen Sep 9, 19:29 1
- i still like him even though he's wrong about everything -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 19:31
Yikes, when the Jays draw under 12k with Roy Halladay on the mound, something has to be done. -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 19:24 1
- *invades Canada* -- nm - USA Sep 9, 19:25
Top Chef non-spoiler observation - prayformojo Sep 9, 19:23 1
- Kevin is easily my favorite -- nm - Jovian Sep 9, 19:45
Braves/Astros spoilers - David Sep 9, 19:22
B2 is full of lying liars. -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 19:19 2
- But mysteriously, no pants on fire. -- nm - BB Sep 9, 19:21 1
  - Its cause Banz never wears any -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 19:43
