Yeah, it's a copy of that.

Nov 20 Jaymz commented on Life and Death in a Recliner in South Carolina.
@37 - I agree somewhat in that the obesity in this story adds an unnecessary side issue to the health care problem. I suspect many, many uninsured patients are sent home from hosptials with severe untreated auxillary health problems that fester and increase and ultimately lead to death due to the fear of burgeoning medical bills should they seek follow up care. An uninsured 180 pound man dropped in a recliner with a bum knee and failing kidneys could end up dead, too. They wouldn't release him with failing kidneys and no follow up? Don't be so sure - they don't do the same tests on the uninsured.....

I usually skip the morning news but caught my eye on the "killing for fat" headline.

I couldn't stop reading - I want to go home and close the blinds and go back to sleep now, thank you. Eww!

The final quote is priceless - if you want human fat, talk to any lyposuction clinic. No need to go through the whole "gut and quarter and hang em up over a candle" business....

We need more flexibility in our health care system. While this man should not be taking up an expensive in-hospital bed, our system easily could include post-care follow up at his home at a fraction of the cost. If he and his wife chose not to accept professional advice on health care by someone who actually sees the situation, then so be it. If you throw a life preserver and the drowning man doesn't reach for it.... oh well.

@6 has a good point. A fraction of males will abandon their family while a much smaller fraction of females will do the same. While the male-female comparison on leaving a cancer mate might stand, it is still a fraction. Let's hope it also is generational, and that future couples will see fewer such assholes.
Nov 10 Jaymz commented on The End Is Very Near for John Allen Muhammad.
I figured Charles would do a last minute thing here, so I re-read all 17 comments from the post earlier today. Very thoughtful stuff from SLOGGERS on a tough subject. Like the abortion debate, feelings run very high here....

As I have mentioned in the past, I favor capital punishment in very rare and limited cases, where the world would be better off without that particular dark soul hanging around in a meat prison. It isn't vengeance or deterrence - it's just time to move on.
Nov 10 Jaymz commented on SL Letter of the Day: Update From Dungeon Boy.
Like @7, I'm a worrier. Still, if the guy had a big party at his dungeon he is probably well known and a "pro" and will take it easy on this newby. I want another update so I know he's OK and still happy. We've got a modern little soap opera going on here!
Nov 3 Jaymz commented on Crime and Punishment: Tanzanians Murdering Albinos and Selling Them to Witchdoctors.
My views on the death penalty have shifted since I was involved as a law student protesting the execution of Gary Gilmore. Like @11, sometimes (but rarely) you just have to hit the "Reset Button." It isn't punishment or revenge or deterence - it is eliminating a mistake that cannot be corrected.
Oct 30 Jaymz commented on Photographic Evidence of My Willingness To Slip My Hand Into a Vulva....
That's one fancy "canned ham from a great height" there! Nice little blog entry - I'll go back and follow some of those links. She IS cute, but I might be intimidated by a "Queen of all things vulva" in the sack...
Oct 30 Jaymz commented on Savage Love Letter of the Day.
I flashed on a film where the male-female leads switch glasses in a movie theater: The blue glasses put you in the position of the male and the pink glasses put you in the position of the female on the screen. Anyone remember the name of that one? The "projecting" part of Dan's response makes a lot of sense to me, but the best part is telling her to be honest with her own feelings and desires. Good job, Dan.
Oct 29 Jaymz commented on Woman's Health Insurance Company Cancels Her Policy After She Was Raped.
@2 and elsewhere - Say she was properly cancelled. The issue to me is that she then was refused new coverage anywhere else because of the rape, subsequent medical treatment and therapy. Do you want a system where a "pre-existing condition" that warrants denial includes the fallout from rape? Outrageous.
