There were more than a few of us who walked out of this film because it was totally unintelligible. With such a heavy dialect, why were there no subtitles? Even "Downton Abbey" CD's have subtitles!

I recommend this speaker. His message is vitally important and is independent of religious bias. Hope to see you there!

Having been in the new section for two days in the last few weeks, I can tell you that it is nicely done, and a major improvement from the patients' point of view. But the nurses do complain - rightly or otherwise. They complain that it takes a long time to get certain equipment, as they are stored a long way from the patient wings. They complain that they were not consulted in the architectural layout (what should be close to what). Perhaps they just like to complain - perhaps we just got some chronic complainers, or perhaps their complaints have some substance. But the care you get is still excellent, IMHO.

Why have a recall? Isn't that what regular elections are for?
When one compares Serban to McDougall, there is no comparison.

Great comments, Mike!
Hope to see you at Aldo's.

Regarding Obama's grades. Doesn't "magna cum laude" from Harvard Law School mean anything?

OK, kids - time for some facts.
Regarding Obama's promises: Politifact, the Pulitzer-Prize winning fact checking web site, has been keeping track of more than 500 promises of Obama's. As shown here http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-met... the current total is 134 promises kept; 218 "in the works"; 40 "compromise"; 42 "broken" and 70 "stalled".
I'd consider that a pretty good record, in view of the continual harassment at every turn, and the fact that the president can only "propose" and the COngress "disposes."
Regarding the birth certificate brouhaha, I would emphasize "ha-ha." It seems that the White House has pulled off a classic "rope-a-dope" making Palin, Trump, et al look like village idiots.

This, from the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Dalai Lama:
"Compassion is equally important in Islam — and recognizing that has become crucial in the years since Sept. 11, especially in answering those who paint Islam as a militant faith. On the first anniversary of 9/11, I spoke at the National Cathedral in Washington, pleading that we not blindly follow the lead of some in the news media and let the violent acts of a few individuals define an entire religion.
Let me tell you about the Islam I know. Tibet has had an Islamic community for around 400 years, although my richest contacts with Islam have been in India, which has the world’s second-largest Muslim population. An imam in Ladakh once told me that a true Muslim should love and respect all of Allah’s creatures. And in my understanding, Islam enshrines compassion as a core spiritual principle, reflected in the very name of God, the “Compassionate and Merciful,” that appears at the beginning of virtually each chapter of the Koran."

"Then again, it's always unfortunate when uninformed people (e.g. FightWoo) demonstrate ignorance and prejudice by employing the very practices that they claim to abhor. It's sad, really. This is a very pleasant article about a group of people who are working together to benefit their community, offering food and a safe place to practice their shared faith. The author recognized this, and did a great job conveying the unifying message of togetherness and love which all religions seek to enjoy. Good for them, they're apparently doing something right."
Amen!

Hmm - you must be seeing the wrong doctors. My wife and I have seen three new doctors this year, and all have accepted our Medicare without question. Note that if you decide to drop Part B, you will not be able to re-enroll until the next general enrollment period, and you may have to pay a late enrollment penalty to boot.
