The New Yorker article and it's well worth reading.

The New Yorker article and it's well worth reading.

There was a long article in The New Yorker a few months back. I can't remember the topic of the article, but at one point the author discussed Medicare. There was one hospital in the Midwest that had the lowest Medicare costs for terminal folks than any other in the nation. By a long shot.

You know why? Because that hospital REQUIRED all patients to have health care directives and end of life consultations BEFORE the crisis occurred.

Tens of thousands of dollars less spent. Better quality of life for the patients. Better peace of mind for the surviving family members. Less depression for family members after the patient died.

Republicans talk about fiscal responsibility but they would rather score political points than actually do something to help the deficit.

And the "death panels" were a Republican idea. That was embraced by Democrats because it was smart.

I can't hardly stand this.

Peoples are taking this video a little too seriously. A clueless tow truck driver and snow plow operator tear a car apart while a pantsless man provides classic New Yorker commentary. It's comedy gold. HaHaHahaHaHahaHahaHaHaha...........

Since you chose to include the NY before the word prick I have to assume that it was your intention to imply that all New Yorkers are pricks. By that logic you must be a New Yorker.>> ^Unaccommodated:

some NY prick's SUV?

I get to see the site every single day. But being a New Yorker, I don't. It's too damn cold to be lingering around outside nowadays.

Damn Nature, you scare New Yorkers.

Thanks for clarifying!

Steinbrenner was a sort of icon where I grew up.

It's clear you're not a New Yorker -- otherwise, you wouldn't have misspelled Steinbrenner's name.

What do you mean? As far as I can see I spelled his name correctly, I forgot the ' on the 's, but I cant find any spelling mistakes in the name itself


Ah. And you are absolutely right I'm no New Yorker, in fact, as my description implies, I'm not even American, and wouldn't have heard of Steinbrenner if it wasn't for Seinfeld. The missing ' is a habit I have from Norwegian grammar, as it is grammatically incorrect to use ' this way in Norwegian.
