Finally, some movement.

CT today at 1700. I'm planning on getting there early.

How do you say "teabagger" in Japanese?

Batshit insane Japanese candidate. Who sounds a lot like Glen Beck.

Stuck, scanned, and a WTF?

Back from my CT scan. The stick for the contrast was good, and as always being scanned is a fun science-fiction experience. Any time you get to be subject to a scanning laser is a good time, IMHO. I was also introduced to a hospital gown that made sense! Amazing.

But there was one thing that made me go Bwuh? There was a TV in the waiting room, and as we entered a movie was just starting. Denzel Washington flick.. John Q.

If you're not familiar with it, it's a hostage drama. Denzel takes an ER full of people hostage when his insurance company refuses to pay for his son's heart transplant. This is a WTF on two counts. First of all, it's a movie about medical failures, people being told that loved ones are going to die, and powerless doctors. Just thing to show to patients in a hospital, yes? Secondly, the bad guy in the film is the health insurance company. Kaiser is a health insurance company at its heart. Great time to get people thinking about how tenuous their health care is.

Should have results by late Monday.

Cool commercial

I'd love to have that version of Forever Young
