The Goat Pen

I have a great life. I would also like to think that my grandkids and great-grandkids will have the opportunity to have a great life. But that will be much harder if Obama is re-elected.

Exactly my point. You remind me of my Grandpa. Bitter, with a trace of dementia. He swore he was always right even when we all knew Mickey Mouse wasn't sent here from Mars to corrupt our children. He was horrible at debating because he thought he knew everything. Much like you Hack.

I think that might have been the closest you've ever come to trying to make an actual point. That's how low a standard you have set with the totality of your thousands of previous posts.

Truth hurts huh?

Apparently.

I figured as much, but my question still stands regarding which gives the better information.

Do you guys have the equipment to do a rb cardiac pet/ct? Curious. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think you may need a 64 slice ct or better. Maybe a 40 will work?

I like the PET and think it gives a better scan. We have the equipment: dual-source CT - gives 128.

Whose is it?

Siemens iirc. Been a while since I've been in the hospital.

Heh

That's my stuff. It is a 3 ring or a 4 ring pet?

I was a subassembly team lead for one of major assemblies on the pet. Also designed one of the boards used in the assembly.

I don't remember how many rings.

Very cool.

Will the last person to leave Michigan please turn out the lights.

It's less of a pain in the ass to leave Santiago for the US than to leave Nashvillle for Tampa.

Huntsman is reportedly dropping out tomorrow, and will throw his 2% of the vote to Romney. Not exactly a game changer.

Who?

Herbert Spencer, circa 1880....Spencer was a liberal by all accounts....shows you how far the current crop of "progressives" is out of touch.

It will be interesting to see how the Republicans handle Ron Paul and his supporters. The Establishment should be careful.

Republicans have historically written off college students and young people as being hopelessly liberal and therefore in the tank for the Democrats. Therefore I find it an amazing development that so many college students and young people have so spontaneously flocked to Paul in this election. It's not like they were exactly enticed by the GOP as a whole.

Students and young people traditionally have a reputation of looking for government handouts. So conservatives should be delighted that they have responded so enthusiastically to a message of Constitution-based government, a radical reduction of the size, power and expense of Washington, and maximization of free individual choice. If my two college student sons are any indication, their generation has developed a proper and deep suspicion of government's ability to do anything right. They are well aware that the current recession - and their own dimmed job outlook after graduation - was largely caused by the government interfering with the housing market. They are also quite aware that their own paychecks will be permanently shrunk in order to pay for a social security system that they will never collect from. In short, college students and young people have little faith in Big Government and are wide open to a small government message. And they are rallying to Ron Paul because he is the purest small government Republican candidate available. If properly recruited, college students and young people could be a gold mine of votes for the Republicans that could last a generation.

But they are not being recruited by the GOP. They are correctly observing that Paul is the second most successful vote getter in the first two elections. He has won far more votes so far than either Gingrich or Santorum. Yet, if you watch Fox or other conservative media, you will hear about every candidate except Paul. Today, Hunstman will bow out of the race, along with his tiny following, but that will be treated like big news.

There are two large voting blocks out there - the Paul supporters and the Tea Partiers - to which the Establishment is now giving the middle finger. The Gordon Gecko wing of the party is saying, "Listen up you religious nutcases and unbathed hippies: Romney is the nominee. We had a meeting at the Augusta National six months ago and decided. Deal with it. So show up and vote next November, and make sure your inbred relatives and stoner friends do the same. End of discussion."

Aka...indoctrination....
