So Many Congressmen So Many Affairs

Goodbye Rep. Mark Souder. You joined the club of married scumbags who had affairs with aides and had to resign to spend more time with the family and solidify your relationship with your wife and children. Did you ever think that your relationship would be stronger if she could trust you? Divorce is in your future. You are a father and a grandfather. You are not very attractive. Maybe that's why you did it, you had something to prove. Well, it only makes you uglier. Bye Bye Mark Souder Bye Bye.

Anesthesia Awareness

I just read about this lady who woke up during serious eye surgery. They were removing her diseased eye and she woke up. She heard disco music and heard talking. At first, she didn't feel any pain, but when they injected her with some kind of drug, she felt like she was on fire. She wasn't able to let anybody know because she couldn't move. She said she screamed, but no one heard her. She knew when they cut her optic nerve because everything went black. She could hear a doctor say she moved. This happened 12 years ago and she got Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder from the situation. She has since had some surgeries, but it has not happened again because she insists on having a brain monitor. She started a group of anesthesia aware people and she has 5,000 members. In her research on this subject, she found that it happens most to natural redheads. So watch out all you natural gingers. That may be a way to see which redheads dye their hair. What would you do if this happened to you? I would break my restraints and flail my arms and kick with my legs and scream for help. They would know I was awake. They would have to put down their chicken legs and tend to the patient.

Thoughts for Today

There are a lot of things going on today. Some good. Some bad. Bad of course are the tar balls found on the shore, which are, of course, caused by the oil spill. How can an oil company not know how to cap a leak? They must not have known what they were doing right from the beginning. I used to think that maybe off-shore drilling was the way to go. A way to end our dependence on foreign oil. Well, I was wrong. It may be good if the oil company knows what they are doing and there are no leaks. This is going to cost so much money and ruin the environment and even make people sick. Maybe a local artist can make sculptures out of tar balls. Or they can put tar balls on all the statues in their town. As they say, tar balls are better than no balls. I hear that the oil cleanup may take years. Why are they throwing things in the oil spill? Did I hear that they threw tires in there. I think they'd make more progress with a big scoop. I feel so bad for the sea life. Can they swim below the oil spill?
