TLD: Get Me Outta Here!!!!!!!!

CP1 at this year's edition of The Longest Day may well be here. The objective will be to break yer pal Doctor Evil the heck outta this joint. It's not so much that the treatment routine still isn't specific nor that I actually interact with the staff for 3 minutes a day (can I ask one more time why can this be an outpatient procedure?) No, it's none of that, it's the Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, Judge Whoever, etc.... TV lineup that my roomate watches (loudly) every day. Please shoot me.

On the plus side, maybe my insurance won't cover repair of the bullet hole because I requested it. Then I can go bleed all over the skeptical patrons at Michael Moore's Sicko. He already had my ticket purchase coming. But I'm sitting here wondering why I get to have insurance that can cover my sitting around in a hospital room 24 hours per day with no obvious signs of infection waiting for one dose of antibiotics and a 2-3 day lyme test to come back when there are people who can't get basic healthcare coverage. I better be quiet or my insurance company might refuse to pay for this nonsense. I'm a free market kind of guy but capitalism can have a cruel tendency to demean humanity in the short run for the long term benefit of profitability and investment. Really, if the richest nation in the world can't find a way to cover 45 million of it's citizens (and growing) then when will the long term benefits ever show up?

This wasn't exactly AR but you were warned in my initial post. ;)
