Open Letter to the Couple in Post-Op Bay 18 at Lee Memorial
by Scott Hardie on June 10, 2022
I had a minor surgical procedure yesterday morning. As I laid in post-op for an hour, I could not sleep due to the middle-aged couple in the next bay who were watching and loudly discussing the news. Here are some things that I would like for them to know:
- The Uvalde massacre was not faked by Democrats to take people's guns away.
- There is not suspiciously a mass shooting every time Democrats face a political crisis.
- The teacher who left the door open at Uvalde is not currently in hiding with Democrats and in fact did not leave the door open.
- The people protesting the overturning of Roe v. Wade are not paid actors.
- The man who planned to shoot Brett Kavanaugh was not instructed nor sent by Chuck Schumer.
- A new bill just passed by the Senate (not yet the House) provides security to the justices and their families. It does not outlaw protest, which would be unconstitutional, nor does it compel the police to arrest all of the protesters right now.
- Protesters are not simply trying to intimidate (or "imitate") the justices into changing their minds.
- Inflation is Joe Biden's responsibility, but the degree to which it is his fault, or any president's fault, is debated by economists.
- Donald Trump, and Barack Obama before him, could be said to have contributed at least a little to today's inflation by not taking actions that could have helped.
- Everyone currently under age 25 does not expect free money for life and refuse to work.
- Black Americans do not want a million dollars each now that Juneteenth is a federal holiday.

Happiness, That's My Livelihood
Somehow I've agreed to teach HTML & PHP classes on Friday mornings. Two down, at least two to go. I enjoy teaching, and you know I enjoy making websites, but the getting-up-before-dawn-at-the-end-of-a-long-week part is agony. Go »Rolling Revisionism
In all of the coverage of the execution of Danny Rolling, I keep reading that he was "Florida's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy." (link) Umm... Doesn't anybody remember Aileen Wuornos? Go »Blood Lines
A few weeks ago, I dropped a glass bottle of salad dressing on the kitchen floor, making the house smell like vinaigrette for a day. Today, I stepped on the last errant bit of glass hiding in a crack of tile by the corner. Better my foot than the cat's paw, I guess; I don't lick between my toes. Go »Game Over
On paper, Game Over doesn't look promising: A vulgar, video-game-themed cartoon series on UPN that only lasted five episodes. But I rented it anyway, and somehow it managed to be entertaining and smarter than it needed to be, but maybe that was just the low expectations kicking in. I think the key to the show is that it actually respected its characters and cared for them as a family unit, instead of using them as empty vessels for punchlines (latter-year The SImpsons) or treating them with unmistakable contempt (Family Guy).

Life gets unpleasant quickly when your gallbladder stops working. TMI alert. I spent all day Friday with sharp pain in my abdomen, diagnosed as spasms from my gallbladder trying to expel a stone. Go »

Getting rid of Donald Trump is the short solution. The long solution is an educational issue to inform people who voted for him in the first place and avoid the next Trump clone gaining national office. Do you people read?
