Fair enough, clarice, but like AIDS breast cancer is the beneficiary of being subject to extra research over other types and is one of the few cancers [prostate, ovarian] able to be suppressed for a time with hormone blockers.
For lung, and other common internal organ cancers, for the most part it's not too much different than 1975.

An answer to an earlier question:

[Stephanie Nene Not Your Normal Granma]

The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you?

He said, " Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.

They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful! He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night."

The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. They couldn't believe it. They said, "Man, what happened?"

He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night. Bob sat up and watched me all night."

"No longer do we live is a world dominated by two great powers facing off with apocalyptic consequences. We live in a world of thousands upon thousands of conflicts, more personal, more heated, more bitter, and just plain nastier, than that great battle."

I spoke at length yesterday to Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, Chabad of Poway, where I extended my warmest condolences to him and all affected by the shooting in California. What a great guy. He had a least one finger blown off, and all he wanted to do is help others. Very special!

Does anyone have the link to the Epoch Time's illustrated w pics graphic of who's who --all the players---IRT Spygate? It looked like a double page spread from a newspaper.
I had it in an open tab for a couple of months, and inadvertently closed it recently on a clean up mission

I tried to find it yesterday using their search box, but I am not phrasing it right to locate it.

Is it true that Lugar never went back to Indiana after they booted him from his job for being such a turncoat? And that he stayed in DC, his real home? The founders would shake their heads at that and the 17th amendment.

[henry]

It is Evers trying to stuff project labor agreements and unions into Foxconn, while blaming Trump if Foxconn goes away. This is all sabotage from the left.

Uncertainty over the Foxconn project could have implications for Trump in Wisconsin.

Was interesting and sad to see the defenders of the NYT teasing out fine distinctions between the two cartoons in Kirk’s thread.

In no other context would the left find that kind of hairsplitting acceptable.

You’d think the link you posted would be the grossest, most appalling thing you could find in a major national newspaper today. You’d be wrong:

And James, that’s far from the worst SF has to offer. You’ve seen zombie’s threads, no?

[MissMarple2]

James D.,

I tell you, there is a REASON people like Trump besides the economy. People want our culture back.

[James D.]

I have. But we already knew they were appalling freaks. What’s worse is that the editors of the nations newspaper of record thought it was praiseworthy and cool.

Was interesting and sad to see the defenders of the NYT teasing out fine distinctions between the two cartoons in Kirk’s thread.

Patterico's catamites are divided on it; Danamuta has a "guest post" condemning it while Beldar Trout's NeverTrump obsession overruled whatever arguably good judgement that monkey ever possessed. The chief organ grinder has yet to weigh in.

The founders would shake their heads at that and the 17th amendment.

The founders would shake their heads at just about everything DC. The concentration of power and wealth was NOT what they intended.

Has anyone ever purchased a refurbished iPhone? Is that a bad idea? I plan to move from an old Samsung and I use the straight talk service from Walmart so I will need to purchase one without a plan. I don't need the latest and greatest edition but would like the better camera and room to store my audiobooks.
