“European criticism of the US model tends to focus on its inequities – the 40m-plus uninsured Americans denied access to anything but emergency care. The more startling fact is the truly enormous cost. I say “US model”; in reality, there are two. How many of Mr Obama’s critics, I wonder, realise that the 8 per cent of national income US taxpayers stump up for Medicare and Medicaid is only a fraction less than the proportion of its income that Britain spends on the entire NHS? By this measure, US healthcare is as “socialised” as any in Europe.” —

Love this. Via Brand Flakes for Breakfast. If this is true tricky to read, visit Metalmother’s Web site. Best part? “Dinner and dancing and eternity to follow.”
I used to work in that office, why couldn’t it have been that exciting when I was there?

Um, there is currently a couple having sex in the apt. directly across the street from my office. Yesterday, my co-worker was talking to me and noticed a naked guy just chilling in front of the open window. A few minutes later his lady friend walks over and is completely nude as well. I just glanced out the window, and they are totally doing it. OMG!!!!!!
