Republican Congressional candidate suspends his campaign after overdosing on heroin.
He did actually own up to it and apologize to his supporters:
So it sounds like he’s taking responsibility and trying to fight an addiction he’s admitted to having since high school. Unless he railed against drug addicts in his campaign or used public funds to pay for his drugs or something, I kinda have to put this one in the “Good Republican Idea of the Day” column. I wish him peace and recovery.
I give him the nod.
Marco Rubio tweeting after last night’s Democratic debate:
Responses were predictable.
“Reefer”. I mean, seriously.
Quoth Janus Rose on twitter(in 2018):
What about the taco trucks on every corner? Are we still getting those? I mean, if we’re getting the reefer, I think the taco trucks would be a good idea too.
Unfortunately, the taco trucks would only come if Hillary had won.
How about the three to five million illegal voters? Are they connected to the taco trucks?
So I’m going to get reefer and I don’t have to deal with Spectrum Cable anymore? I fail to see the problem here.
The Republiopaths have become so adept at maligning socialism that, by November, everyone is going to want some of that action.
Now I want a taco. Luckily there’s a brick-and-mortar taco shop at the end of the block.
CPAC Panel: Socialized medicine killed Princess Diana
CPAC Insanity: 'Socialized Medicine Killed Princess Diana' | Crooks and Liars?
“They actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France”. Then who is staffing the six trauma centers in Paris alone?
Chefs, obviously.
I have no idea what interventions were done with Princess Diana. I just want to point out that, not only was the CPAC guy not involved in her care, he’s not a trauma specialist either. He’s an orthopedic surgeon. He knows way more about medicine that I do, certainly. But the MD after his name doesn’t make him an expert in every discipline.
It’s a cookbook!
True. We actually don’t have doctors at all. But our healthcare is some fucking gourmet shit - just last week my diabetic aunt was prescribed an Insulin confit on a bed of morrels with its cranberry sauce, crushed pomegranate and a glass of '73 Chateau Latours.
Not an '82? Cretin.
As I recall from hearing it on TV at the time, the practice of French EMTs is to try to stabilize patients at the scene instead of rushing them to the nearest trauma center. However, Diana had a ruptured aorta (she was in the back seat, but she wasn’t wearing her seatbelt) … so maybe not the best idea in the world. In the US, she would have been rushed to the hospital. Would that have saved her? Who knows? Anyone else who remembers listening in complete shock to Peter Jennings as he reported this, please correct me.
