Yahoo! News - Patients Face Long Wait for Colonoscopies
Yahoo! News - Patients Face Long Wait for Colonoscopies: "Patients Face Long Wait for Colonoscopies
Sun Aug 1, 9:24 AM ETAdd Health - AP to My Yahoo!
BOSTON - Recommendations from medical specialists that healthy adults be screened for colon cancer has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people seeking colonoscopies, producing long waits for the test and straining hospital resources.
'The demand is endless and limitless and beyond anyone's expectations,' Dr. William Brugge, director of endoscopy at Massachusetts General Hospital, told the Boston Sunday Globe. The hospital expects to conduct 25,000 colonoscopies and other gastrointestinal imaging procedures in 2004, a 20 percent jump in one year. "

Challenges in Life
I thought that I would test out playing music in the background that I think is appropriate to words I post, so I posted to AudioBlogger and played 2 minutes worth of the theme to Rocky, but it doesn't seem to want to allow text and the audio in the same post. I suspect that the way to get around that would be to post the audio and then write whatever I wanted in the comments.
Not a huge deal, but I thought that it might be kind of fun to share my thoughts and the music that accompanies them. Here is my iTunes library. It is incomplete, I own about 400 CDs, countless tapes and a ton of albums:

Obviously this is not a complete list, there are lots of other songs/artists/albums that are very meaningful to me. The list above contains a collection of tunes that I enjoy for various reasons. I am in the process of dropping in songs from my collection so that I can enjoy MP3 versions of all of my music, but it is quite a task and the kids seem to need my attention. ;)
Anyway, the point of this post changed and I lost my muse. I'll have to come back to it later. Drats. Besides it is time for the midnight feeding. Tomorrow morning will be tough. Oh well.

George Will: Party conventions and platforms
George Will: Party conventions and platforms: "It is commonly said that ``9/11 changed everything.'' But it did not really change the basic fact of today's politics. Even before 9/11, the 57-point disparity between Bush's support from Republicans (88 percent) and Democrats (31 percent) was larger than any polling had ever recorded for any president. Strange but true: The 36 days following the 2000 election -- Florida -- may have had a bigger impact on American politics than did Sept. 11, 2001."
It is not that profound, but I agree with will about the 36 days. It points to a central issue in which some Americans accept and others deny Bush's legitimacy as POTUS. And if from the beginning you do not think that he should be POTUS it makes every other real or imaginary mistake that much more egregious.
