I was kidding, but there goes the old, bitter joke that at least we have the Third Amendment.

Looks like we're down to the 22nd (term limits), 24th (poll taxes), and 25th (presidential succession).

Hey, I just bought a six pack of beer the other day. It appears the 21st is still going strong too!

Too bad congress Doesn't have terms limits, I think it's time for John Dingell retires.
 
Just looked up John Dingell. That's some craziness right there. I can't say I'm a fan of the "career politician" system. I imagine it would be hard to maintain any perspective on what life is like for those you represent when you're a house representative for almost 58 years...
 
On one hand, career politicians are prone to corruption. On the other hand, novice politicians tend to just muck things up. Example? The tea party representatives.

Are you sure this wasn't an elaborate bet by a couple of ACLU lawyers?

Meh, I don't mind the ACLU that much. They're a bunch of loons until you specifically need them, but as long as a bunch of Nazis marching through Jewish neighborhoods is protected (National Socialist Party of America v Village of Skokie), I know that anything I manage to think up would also be protected. I'd rather have the lines of government intrusion and regulation out in ACLU loon territory than closer to home.
 
How's your view of the fireworks?

iPhone didn't do them justice.

It's been a holiday night shift lol.

We're spent. Only 4.5 more hours to go.

We somehow managed to avoid the chaos. It was blowing up for most of our shift but we were just backfilling posts behind units that were getting calls while all we did was drive in circles. Fine by me...I even got off on time, if you can believe that... :p

Hopefully it slows down for y'all. Everyone stay safe out there, I'm going to go become part of the problem rather than be the solution for once ;)

We avoided the worst but wound up with a super sick patient out of a standalone ER that we had to help treat/stabilize, popped a tire as we pulled onscene of another call and still had to transport.....and just had the most pleasant drunk I've ever met.

Me: "How much have you had tonight?"
Pt: "not enough!!!!" As he laughs like crazy and tries to balance on crutches.

Awesome lol

We will all be part of the problem tonight since I'm hosting a cook out for some of us.
 
Pediatric drowning that turned out extremely well (Dad & Friends did a great job of recovering her and clearing her airway PTA, crying and pink when we arrived, simple transport to Kid's with some good old-fashioned high-flow O2 and steadily improving lung sounds (aspirated at least some water, could not hold sats above 94 on room air), followed by a fulminant CHFer who we turned with aggressive BiPap, followed by a cool-sounding rollover that turned into two no-cares thanks to 2013's car safety features...great night.

I really do love it when sick kids are not that bad.

As far as those cops in Nevada go- what were they thinking? If even a portion of those allegations are truthful, the lot of them need to be fired, imprisoned and the department retrained.

I'm sorry, I think you forgot that this was the police we're talking about. They'll get a paid vacation, an award, and a promotion.
