This Doesn’t Pass the Smell Test

Since he was adopted by staff members as a kitten, Oscar the Cat has had an uncanny ability to predict when residents are about to die. Thus far, he has presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents on the third floor of Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island. His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, allowing staff members to adequately notify families. Oscar has also provided companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone. For his work, he is highly regarded by the physicians and staff at Steere House and by the families of the residents whom he serves.

Early on I was told if my mother says she loves me to trust, but verify. Would the NEJM really publish a story about a cat “predicting” death.

I haven’t posted in quite a while because I’m in a pissy mood. My life sucks. I have some more pictures of the the chick next door naked that I may post later. I don’t really have much to say because I had a hard day running around.

Washington (AP) People hoping to avoid the excruciating pain of shingles can get a new vaccine if they’re willing to pay for it.

The shingles vaccine called Zostavax hit the market last spring.

But public health specialists say it may go vastly underused because, at 150 dollars a shot, it’s not fully covered by many insurance plans or Medicare.

A vaccine expert at Vanderbilt University says it’s like building a Jaguar and leaving it in the garage.

For patients over 65, Medicare will begin paying for the shingles vaccine in January, but only as a prescription with a copay that varies from plan to plan.

One Medicare official says a trip to the drug store just like with Flu shots could be the simplest way to get Zostavax in the future.

I almost went somewhere, but I forgot. I been feeling kind of down lately.

You Kill Dogs? We’ll Break Your Legs

Just to illustrate a point I made earlier about the National Football League players, they are now threatening to physically injure Vick the Puppy Drowner.

The high-profile NFL player—whose team will play Vick’s Atlanta Falcons during the 2007 season—tells Radar that a number of the league’s canine-friendly players are licking their chops at the opportunity to inflict some on-field vigilante justice on the world’s most famous alleged pup-drowner.

Ya boy, the old eye for an eye deal, or something like that. Kill a dog, we’ll kill your career and livelihood.

Trying to kill the opposing quarterback is nothing new in the NFL, but the player believes the attacks on Vick will be especially brutal and dirty, and may even be aided by the Falcons offensive line, who, according to the source, have indicated that they will make sure the opposition has all the room and time that they need to land a hit that will send the quarterback into early retirement.

There’s teamwork for you, the guy hasn’t been convicted of anything except being a total jerk, moron, dimwit, but the players will dish out their justice. The NFL has a major problem on their hands, and they need to deal with it now before it hits the courts. Suspend Vick. But even at that, if he gets hurt, there is always going to be that nagging suspicion that some lineman was just half a tick slow in blocking to protect the quarterback.

The NFL is full of animals.

Drew Carry said last night on Letterman, if Vick takes the field, he’ll never watch an NFL game again.

Here’s a friendly reminder from the senior Senator from West Virginia how killing dogs is a no-no.  Watch as how explains how he doesn’t like putting people to death, but he would make an exception in Vick’s case.
