Went off to the E.R this morning because my BP measured 222/119.

Sure, I gained some weight over the holidays and worked some irregular hours, but we all know that wasn't what caused the BP to spike, don't we?

I'm somewhat better now. Calling cardiologist first thing tomorrow to get an quick appointment.

How to reform the H-1B program without triggering accusations of racism.

Companies who want an H-1B worker have to swear on their grandmother's graves that they searched high and low for a qualified American citizen to fill the the position and did not find one. Furthermore, if they don't get the person they requested, their company will collapse into ruin.

Imagine that every H-1B hire gets an instant Green Card. Now they're free agents. Naturally the company has no problem paying them a generous salary that will insure they can't be poached by competitors, being that they're irreplaceably valuable, right?

Well, time to gird my loins and venture out to my blue-collar job in this 8-degree weather here in NY.

Wouldn't be weird if Trusk's antics got so insane that a bunch of electors switched their votes?

Bought a shortwave radio to potentially tap into news sources from outside the U.S. if need be.

Kind of a bust. I imagined that countries would keep their international broadcasts going out of inertia and national pride. Nope. Not much out there.

To all DUers a Happy Thanksgiving.

To all you who may be going into tense family situations, Godspeed.

Could it be that Trump knows he's dying?

Could it be that he's trying to destroy as much as possible as fast as possible because he hates the idea that anything good will still exist when his malignant narcissistic ass is dust?

It's obvious why TSF is making these bizarre cabinet picks.

He can only remember a handful of people at all. Mostly the ones that he heard of recently.

Kick it up a notch and he'll be nominating dead historical figures.

Every Trump decision as president-elect has been a giant F.U. to stability, decency, well-being, and even survival.

What happens when he gets control of the nukes?

Just wondered if any thought has been given to backup if DU goes dark.

Based in another country might be good -- assuming Net access to foreign countries isn't restricted.
