Willowed. I spent too much time typing this to abandon it as a new thread came up.

Robin,

Thanks for posting that video of the girl outside Walter Reed talking about how much she loves President Trump.

I have watched politics since I was in the 7th grade. NEVER have I seen a president loved like this, and I would include both JFK and Reagan.

The thing is, he truly does care about the working class; he KNOWS them, from all of the construction sites, hotels and golf courses. He talked to them all of the time.

He also has an innate sense of justice, reflected in everything from bringing factories back, to decreasing prescription drug prices, to pro-life positions.

On top of that, he is very comfortable using Twitter and telling everyone what he thinks. He doesn't mince words when someone is being a jerk, and that connection through Twitter is personal.

When I first heard that "We love you!" chant at one of the rallies, I noticed he was flabbergasted, and didn't expect it at all. I knew it was spontaneous from the crowd, and his supporters are FULL of people like that girl. I will go vote IN PERSON the first day our voting centers are open. I am NOT going to take the chance I might miss my opportunity to do so.

On the polls, Jonah G argues they were actually accurate in 2016 in terms of the popular vote (around +3 for Hillary), but a handful of votes in a few states threw the EV to Trump. To which I would say:

1. Then why are we paying attention to polls on the popular vote?

2. What was the polling a month in advance of the election? That's the relevant comparison, and as of early October 2016 the polls had Hillary up 7-8 points, at least according to this tracker by HuffPo

https://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-general-election-trump-vs-clinton

3. Nate Bronze took all this EV vs PV stuff into account and still had Hillary at 65-70% going into the election.

I think both daughter and I had it last winter. I was sick for a couple of days with a fever and then had a cough that went on for about 2 months.

She was REALLY sick for about a week and had to cancel a vacation trip. I haven't seen her that sick since she was in high school. I think it affected her more because she was an asthmatic when she was a kid and was even hospitalized for it once.

Le' house of cards is beginning to fall.

After high court decision, Michigan AG will not enforce COVID orders

Attorney General Dana Nessel will no longer enforce Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive orders after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled Friday that one of the laws underpinning the orders was unconstitutional.

Nessel's decision comes as Whitmer's team has argued that her orders would stay in effect for 21 days after the ruling, a reference to a 21-day period in which parties can ask for reconsideration.

But opponents have said the 21-day rule doesn't apply to rulings issued in response to a federal certified question as was the case in Friday's Supreme Court decision.

Further, the language of the order, clearly calling all orders issued after April 30 to be unconstitutional seems to support immediate effect.

Nessel's office on Sunday made clear the department "will no longer enforce the governor's executive orders through criminal prosecution."

"However, her decision is not binding on other law enforcement agencies or state departments with independent enforcement authority," said Ryan Jarvi, a spokesman for Nessel's office.

...

The Michigan Chiefs of Police Association told The Detroit News Saturday that departments across the state were waiting for word from Nessel as to when the current executive orders would expire.

"If the attorney general says it’s over, then it’s over," said Bob Stevenson, executive director of the association said.

The Supreme Court on Friday was unanimous in ruling Whitmer had no authority under a 1976 emergency law to extend the emergency past April 30 without approval from the Legislature.

But the court split 4-3 in ruling that a separate law Whitmer was using to issue executive orders — the 1945 Emergency Powers of the Governor Act — was unconstitutional because it was an unlawful delegation of legislative powers.

What prosecutor, what sheriff, what judge, what court would enforce these orders when the Michigan Supreme Court just said they’re unconstitutional?

I was born at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston. What's weird is that Wikipedia says:

Brigham and Women's Hospital was established with the 1980 merger of three Harvard-affiliated hospitals: Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, (established in 1913); Robert Breck Brigham Hospital (established in 1914); and Boston Hospital for Women (established in 1966 as a merger of Boston Lying-In Hospital, established in 1832, and Free Hospital for Women, established in 1875)

I am certain we were calling it Brigham & Women's long before that. In fact, I don't recall ever hearing it called anything else. Perhaps there was an earlier partial merger, or maybe they chose that name because it was the one everybody was already using.

In trying, unsuccessfully to run that question down, I happened upon the Brigham's Ice Cream site which asserted that "New Englanders" are "the country's leading consumers of ice cream." Seems surprising, but maybe they're just not that into slushies? I do remember frequenting ice cream parlors when we growing up. My grandfather (from Missouri, not New England) actually got his start selling new fangled freezers to Howard Johnsons for their soon-to-be-famous ice cream.

Old Lurker:

Speaking of Boston Hospitals, I meant to comment on a post you made eons ago, which just turned up when I was clearing out my virtual stack of little notes to self:

"Since eye surgeries are done via microscope, most (all?) of the procedures are video taped. OK, recorded. At Christmas, YL2 made her Mom and me watch the 100th Cataract replacement she did."

My great grandfather (on the New England side) spent a year in Vienna studying eye surgery before returning to Boston, where, according to my grandmother, he performed one of the first cataract surgeries in the U.S. As for me, I have to look away from the television whenever the camera follows doctors into operating rooms. Unfortunately, being a fan of Korean television shows, I discovered that they apparently thrive on close-up shots of surgeons surgering.

[jimmyk]

JMH, ice cream parlors do seem to be a New England craze. Howard Johnson's started there, and more recently Steve's (the rage when I was in school there) and Emack & Bolio's. And of course Ben & Jerry's. One theory is that it's hot enough in the summer to make ice cream desirable, but not so hot to turn it into a liquid mess 5 minutes after you get it.

[MissMarple2]

From Twitter. Pithy and to the point:

[MissMarple2]

We had ice cream parlors here in Indianapolis when I was a kid. Swengel's was just north of my dad's sheet metal/furnace shop, and we used to walk there every once in a while to get a cone . The Swengel twins were in my grade school class.

I also remember when Howard Johnson's opened here. Long out of business, the building is still there with the cupola on top, but painted different colors. I think it's an auti re-sale lot, now.

From the not quite so distant past, I think this bears repeating:

"Again what sort of eeeeeeevil plague do you need to be tested to know you have it?"

It was not just amusing, it captures the surreal aspect of all this perfectly.

The media and Dems have been so determined to scare the hell out of everybody, they've been unwilling admit not only is it not a pandemic of true plague proportions, the risk factors (age & ill health) are pretty distinct. They're not absolute, of course, but also, unless I'm mistaken, that the number of people outside that group who have died from the virus are comparatively miniscule.

The shutdown, the "distance learning" schools, the racism of Prop 16, elimination of police protection from property crimes, expanding homeless camps (and so on) is being noticed. The CA GOP seems to be pretty ineffectual and run by out-of-touch consultants. But there are definite stirrings among the People where I live.
Of course, when you live in a county that voted Hillary 80/20 there is only "up".

I do think you're right about the ignorance. I notice it all the time. When a newsroom starts cutting back, the first to go are their specialist reporters, but it's worse than that. There's the ignorance compounded by the fact that nobody's really interested in news gathering any more. Pretending that polls are real news is just so much cheaper than gum shoe investigation, and speculating about what might happen in the future is so much easier, and more entertaining than figuring out what's actually going on. Lazy, ignorant, biased crusaders. Not a healthy formula for good journalism.

Good afternoon! BoE, I was only a few months from being born at Walter Reed. My parents met and married in Germany (both were serving in the Army) in December 1952. Mom returned to the states in the summer of 1953, pregnant with me. She returned to live with my grandparents in NH. I was born at the Navy hospital in Kittery, Maine, the nearest military hospital in January 1954. Three months later, Dad returned from Germany and he moved us to MD where he finished his Army training at Walter Reed.

[anonamom]

jmh, I never heard the hospitals referred to that way until after the new building was built.

Women's was Women's, a separate corporate and physical entity, and that is how it was referred to-- Womens'-- by everyone I ever heard speak of it until the 1980 merger.IIRC, the new hospital opened in early 1981.
(Even afterwards, pretty much.)

My resident class was the first to do our OB time at the merged hospital--my senior residents having done theirs at (plain old stand alone) Women's.

The Brigham hospitals were referred to as either Peter Bent or Robert Breck before they merged, as they had differing areas of expertise as well as being distinct buildings.

(Brigham was understood, I guess.)

Do you remember The Childrens Floating Hospital? Best name ever!

Gee, I wonder how that dummy got nominated for 3 Nobels, got car companies relocating to the US, renegotiated NAFTA, got unemployment to drop spectacularly, got a huge increase in support from the minorities and gays, rebuilt the military, and got a coalition formed of all sorts of races, religions, and income levels?

My other claim to fame is that my mother had such rapid labors and deliveries they never had time to administer any sort of anesthetic (which in those days was SOP for a lot of docs to administer).

So, when I delivered my son at the US Army hospital in West Berlin, I was very thankful I inherited that trait from her, because October was approaching year-end and no one got anesthetic if you were having a baby there unless you were having severe complications.

My son was born in 1968 with ZERO anesthesia, not even an aspirin, and I was the only patient my doctor had which didn't carry on like I was being tortured.

Ten years later, daughter arrived the same way, in Evansville, Indiana.

NONE of that was because I was stoic or brave. It was simply being born with my mom's constitution.

Unfortunately, you have to order a 6-pack, but I was willing to bite that bullet. :-)

I spent a good part of last month, experimenting with ingredients in order to come up with an all natural, gluten free, dairy free substitute for my daughter. I'm afraid I polished off the failures as well as the eventual success, which I have to say is excellent in it's own right!

Jim,

Up here I really only notice the homeless. They don't have visible camps, like they do at seemingly all the underpasses in the Los Angeles area. But the sheer number has increased a lot over the 20 years I have been here.

The shutdowns were very inconvenient, but my county is starting to get restless and most things now are open. Most people and county government are pretty reasonable, unlike where you live.

We don't have kids here, so that might make a difference. Also, the county voted Trump 53%, Clinton 41%, so that may make a difference too.

Our neighborhood is not much for political signs -- only one Trump one is around. There are a lot of pickups out and about with large American flags and Trump posters/flags. There are a few Biden bumper stickers, but not many.
