It's happening again and I need someone to explain it to me...

Over and over again I have to read about this kind of episode, and over and over again it makes my blood boil. There is not a satisfaction guarantee at the hospital, folks. People die there. That is why the morgue is located at the hospital. I may not have spent the better part of a decade in medical school but I'm fairly certain that if you have appendicitis and you don't go to the hospital for surgery, you stand a good chance of going to the hospital to spend some time in the morgue. And while I'm on my soapbox about shit that I can't tolerate, let me just smack the media around for a minute. I have linked to the story on the "newsok" website because I wanted to actually find out what the facts were in this particular story. The AP has been reporting that this poor girl died as a result of her carotid artery being cut during surgery. This would in fact give me the impression that the doctor had absolutely no right to be in an operating room because... and remember, I am not a doctor... there is no reason whatsoever to be cutting into the side of someones neck to perform an appendectomy. Tragically, this girl had her iliac artery cut during a necessary surgery in an attempt to save her life, so thanks for the accurate facts Associated Press.

Experienced criminals case joints because...

Robbing this...

With this...

Will get you this...

"Well, yeah, I guess it is a bit ironic."

What is your fourteen-year-old daughter worth?

Here's a little advice. When the guy you sold your underage daughter to doesn't come with the goods, maybe you shouldn't call the cops and attempt to convince them to force the guy to make payment or give you your daughter back.

"Hey, Peru! How do I go about applying for a working visa?"

Give me a pot of coffee, some glow sticks and play some Grateful Dead stat!

I don't know how much of this is true.  I drink like 5 cups of coffee every day and I...what was that?  Did you hear that?  Seriously, did you hear that?

It was bound to happen, Mr. Nazi White Trash

Dear, sad misguided white trash Mr. Heath and Mrs. Deborah "It's just a name" Campbell,

What did you expect?  Really.

You named your child after the most infamous monster in recent history.  You drove around your beat up car with swastikas at one time.  

And then you tried to make a spectacle of the fact a grocery wouldn't make your son a cake.  And you and I both know it was all for publicity.  I mean, when was the last time you saw a cake with someone's full name on it?  "Happy Birthday, Adolf" would have been fine.  They would have baked your precious one his birthday cake.  But that's not what your ulterior motive was, was it?  15 minutes and a possible lawsuit, so you can keep living the dream of collecting unemployment and laying around on your lazy, demented ass.

Maybe this will wake your ass up and you might come to the realization that a serious life change is in order.  I don't think so, though.  People like you don't change.  You go on blaming others for your misfortune.  But who's to blame here?

"If you don't want her dead do you really think I'm the right guy for the job?"

Okay, so when exactly did trying to hire a hitman cease to be wanting someone killed and become attempting to employ someone to physically hit someone? Shouldn't there be a service-specific label for this type of service, like slapman, or punchman, or undercover police officer?

Sweden's definition of "gangster"

Sweden's idea of a gangster is way different than the US.  Yes, gangsters still roll in their Saabs through Norrland, listening to hip hop/polka, sippin' on Akvavit.  But apparently, gangsters also run on-line pharmacies and they take requests to join the "gang" via email.

Pretty hardcore.  

Papua New Guinea making news again

A couple weeks ago on the show we discussed Papua New Guinea's love of Japanese cuisine. 

Well, the small Indonesian country has made the news again.

What I find most disturbing about the article (and there's plenty to find disturbing) is apparently there is "paperwork" for carrying a dead baby in  carry-on luggage.

I vomit a little when I think of the wedding night consummation.
