No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. (I have a family member in the US that has just had several major surgeries and no health insurance… so this is less of an academic position for me at the moment.)

Jerry Lewis?
Just saw that Popcorn Taxi are screening The Nutty Professor with a LIVE Q&A ONSTAGE with Jerry Lewis afterwards! That’s pretty neat. On one hand I’m not a huge Jerry Lewis fan or anything. But the guy is pretty much a living legend, and I’m sure he has amazing stories to tell…

@carbolicious That’s the kind of thing you need to put in your shop’s window to attract a crowd of drooling children a la Charlie Bucket.
Stopped by Broadway pet store for flea stuff for cats and found staff hand-feeding very ugly hairless baby parrot: http://twitpic.com/g6p3f
Hairless? Featherless. Whatever. IT WAS A BALD BABY DINOSAUR.
@carbolicious How about me? YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT BIRDS. I had to pay for my stuff with that thing 2 feet away, dripping goop all over.
@imdominating I bet it’s that one where you’re all in overalls and they’re awkward teens and you look like Shirley Temple. 🙂 @carbolicious

RT @QueenBeeInc: The Fall/Winter line is up, and if we do say so ourselves : it’s purdy…. http://bit.ly/EbC9M <- WANT. Rita shall be mine!
@QueenBeeInc Love the new line! Question though: my beloved Truckette looks a bit dirty. Best way to clean vinyl without taking off colour?
@ScottRhodie In my experience: send out press releases to businesses and bloggers that are only tangentially related to the topic at hand.
@ScottRhodie PR folks called shop often to get knitters for media events. Always last minute, demanding, no respect for our time, etc.
@ScottRhodie I know… Just got burned one too many times!
@eileenDCoE You reminded me I need to give my plumber some love. BLOG LOVE!
@rhagern I just started a few months ago. Just finished Season 3. I love it! (The podcast commentaries by Ron Moore are great too.)
@QueenBeeInc How did I miss that? Thanks so much for the link… Just what I needed.
@ScottRhodie It’s just like Mad Men, isn’t it? 🙂
Looking for a plumber in Sydney? Go with Thomson Plumbing. I blogged our experience with them: http://bit.ly/9ohPT
Despite the arguments of @chrisgander & @jpalmer81, I remain unconvinced as to the cinematic merit of Rutger “Blind Fury” Hauer’s career.
@rhagern Plus she has pretty, pretty hair. I spent most of the first season being obsessed with Grace Park’s pretty Cylon hair.
