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.

- Aren't all of these books in the clearance aisles the same ones I saw while Christmas shopping? - Sarasota must be really obsessed with astrology, Barack Obama, pet psychology, and Eastern cooking. Or the whole country is. Go »R.I.P. Nicole
You know those memes about how 2020 just keeps getting worse by the month? I didn't like them before because it's been such a very awful and depressing year that I'm not in the mood to joke about it. And now I really don't like them, because for me, June has indeed managed to be even worse: My friend Nicole died suddenly of a stroke on Friday. Go »Scott's Pet Peeve #8431
Random strangers on Facebook are not exactly known for impressive displays of intellect, but with several of my friends in the hospital recently, I've been annoyed by one particular bad habit that their friends seem to have: 1) Someone posts that s/he is experiencing a certain medical problem and is going into the hospital. Friends reply with supportive words. 2) A few hours later, the OP posts an update describing what the doctors are doing. Go »Spirit
I've always felt like my life's dream was to quit my job and spend all my time online. I wouldn't only do that, of course – if I won the lottery and quit my job, I'd also travel and take classes and throw parties and do other things – but let's face it, I'd spend a lot of time working on this site and talking to people online. Last night I dreamed I was a ghost, recently passed. Go »House Hunted
I'm not superstitious, or I wouldn't say this until the closing next month: Kelly and I are buying a house. It's a great house, too, with a guest bedroom and a pool, and the neighbor training horses in the back yard every day, and plenty of room for just about whatever we'd want to do with it, at a lower price than similar houses around here. It's not a hundred percent perfect but damn if it ain't close. 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?
