Yo! Clearly I did some theme updates to the site. I'm doing some work to actually implement a theme engine, there's 2 themes right now, but I haven't implemented the switch yet. Soon, when I get to building the blog engine.
I've done some behind the scenes fixes to the mp3 searcher, so if you're using it e-mail me and let me know if it's better!
I was modifying some stuff on my webpage and noticed a bug when viewing it in chrome, but not in IE or firefox. First I thought it was a chrome bug, but I browsershot it and it seems to be webkit-based browser wide. The page is here:
http://www.surfrock66.com/index.php?go=sub_pages/mri/mri.html
The third row doesn't show on the main page, but if you click the first image and enter the first album, you see all rows show. The browsershot summary is here:

Can anyone confirm this bug on another Webkit browser and possibly suggest a workaround?
So they say Obama wants to take more of your tax money? They say he wants bigger government? They say they're the party of reform? Who the fuck do they think they're kidding?
Who was the last president to produce a surplus? CLINTON. When was the last surplus before then? BEFORE REAGAN. Which administrations have produced the greatest increase in inflation adjusted spending? ALL THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS SINCE REAGAN. Have repubs been the party of smaller government? EVER HEARD OF TSA, FEMA, AND HOMELAND SECURITY, ALL OF WHICH ARE FAILBOAT??? What is reform about? WE USED TO BE THE COUNTRY SCIENTISTS FLED TO AGAINST OPPRESSION, NOW PEOPLE CAN'T DO RESEARCH INTO STEM CELLS, FIGHT LEARNING EVOLUTION, AND THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO OVERTURN PROGRESSIVE LAWS LIKE ROE WADE. SOMEONE OUGHT TO CLARIFY TO THEM THAT "REFORM" DOESN'T MEAN SEND US BACK TO THE FUCKING STONE AGE.
McCain may as well just get up there and tell everyone that the repubs are the party of free candy to all, because apparently they can claim to be anything they want, despite what their history and actions show.
I have no choice but to vote for Barack Obama. Jenn is in med school to become an Emergency Medicine physician, and I work in education. No matter how far I advance, chances are she'll be the primary breadwinner in the family, and protection of her field is a major issue for us.
When talking about health care, John Goodman (a McCain adviser who helped craft McCain's health care policy) said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.) "So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care. So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved." (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/stories/DN-Uninsured_27bus.ART.State.Edition2.4dce428.html)
Well, that's an interesting point. But the government isn't a bank account from which the uninsured can just deduct from; the cost actually goes to the hospital, who can later request reimbursement. In reality, the cost of uninsured patients going to the emergency room is a huge burden on a hospital. This is money that can go to hiring more staff (think about that next time you waitin an ER waiting room for 2 hours) and improving outdated equipment and quality of care.
So what does Senator Obama have to say on the topic of Emergency Care? Aside from his solution to universal insurance coverage, he and Rep. Waxman in the House drafted a bill (before Obama was much more than just thinking of running for president) specifically addressing ER care: http://oversight.house.gov/story.asp?ID=1441. In summary:
The Improving Emergency Medical Care and Response Act of 2007, will provide support for research into emergency medicine and create a 5 year independently evaluated pilot program that will:
*Coordinate public health, safety, and emergency services;
*Facilitate timely access to emergency medical services;
*Establish a mechanism to ensure that the right patient gets to the right hospital at the right time;
*Track hospital resources, staffing and capacity in real time (e.g., statistics on bed capacity/ambulance diversion);
*Facilitate pre-hospital and inter-facility transports during disasters; and
*Promote emergency care research by coordinating efforts across federal agencies.
So, we have John McCain, who says "just shoo people into the ER's, they can't turn people away, and then we change their label from 'uninsured' to 'insured.'" We also have Obama, who says, "Not only should we make an effort to get people insured, when it comes to Emergency Care, I have specifically researched deficiencies and am trying to come up with a targeted solution."
Candidates will talk about changing taxes, starting and ending wars, and lots of other things, many of which will never happen. But when it comes to issues specifically surrounding the career of the breadwinner in my family, one candidate is flippantly pushing additional strain onto the system, while the other has already proven that he is focused on and is targeting that system for improvement. My vote will be going to Barack Obama.
