Thoughts Out Of Season

] was working on NYC EMS 18 Young one night. We get a call for an EDP, ( Emotionally Disturbed Person), non-violent. We get there and there's a white male long hair and beard about 30 who flags us down. I down the window. " Can I help you, Sir?" I ask "Yes, I'm hearing voices" nice and calm I get out of the ambulance, help him up, sit him on the bench and seat belt him in " Sir. I need to get some information. What is your name?" " Jesus Christ" " OK. And your birthday?" with a half a grin on my face " October 22, 1979" I exclaim  " Wait! Jesus was born on December 25" He slowly and calmly turns to me and says " Your a real fucking imbecile"

  I live in New York City where a landlord is held in less esteme than an undertaker so do not take this as a defense of Donald Trump. I think we all need to think about the ramifications of Trump being imprisoned. First of all he has a large number of supporters. They are frequently described as deplorables, nuts, cult members. Putting him in jail would probably elevate him to the status of martyr riveled only by Jesus Christ in minds of tens of millions of his supporters. Many of them would be transformed from deplorable to fanatic, rabid deplorables. It would energize them more than anything else one could imagine. Think of this. If Jesus Christ had not been crucified would He be be held in such veneration over the course of 2000 year. Another concern is that many unscrupulous republican politicians ( oxymoron not intended) will feed off of the anger of those millions of rabid Trump supporters like sharks a dead whale. Most will try to out-Trump each other until we're saddled wi...

  I was working a rare morning shift when we received a call for a cardiac arrest, CPR being performed by the victim's daughter. Lights and sirens screaming we pull up to the building in no more than 2 minutes. We hustle up to the apartment where the door is opened. We walk inside. I look to my left into the bedroom and see a woman on the floor on her back. Doing chest compressions is a girl approximately 12 years hold. I gently take the girl by the arm and move her out of the way and as I do I see 5 children probably between 5 and 10 years old looking on, mouths agape and eyes stretched wide open, trying to comprehend the scene before them. None crying.. I look down at the woman, do a quick check and immediately see that the woman must have died hours before during the night as when I put my hand on her chest and it was cold as ice. I tried to pick up her chin to close her mouth: Rigor Mortis  (we had specific guidelines who we could pronounce dead: those obviously dead from ...

Me and Steve are working EMS unit 18 Young one night. We get a call for an unconscious on 148st and 8th Avenue. NYFD gets there first. We get our equipment and start up the stairs. On the way up we run into the firemen coming down. NYFD lieutenant: " Yeah. He had a seizure. He's post-coitus" I turn my head and look at Steve and he's laughing so I bust out laughing" FD lieutenant: "What's so funny?" his voice defensive Me: " Lou. The patient is post-ictal. Post coitus is the cigarette you smoke after going to bed with you wife" Red as Hell he pushes past me " I signed up as a firefighter not a fucking nurse"

  Who in the Hell gave Nancy Pelosi the authority to make a stop in Taiwan on her trip to Asia. Did she decide this all by herself? Is this lady that maniacal to stop at one of the most hotly contested countries in the world like she was stopping off for a day at Disneyworld? Currently she is in the air over the Pacific presumably to head a delegation to Asia with a stop into Taiwan. The Chinese warn they have the right to shoot her damned plane out of the sky. AND I DON'T THEY ARE JOKING! In a matter of hours we could  seeing the greatest world threat since the Cuban Missle Crisis with a much, much different and catastrophic ending. This geriatric upstart is at this moment playing a game of chicken with China. Will she back down and not go to Taiwan? I think she's to damn narcissistic. Even if she decides to back down the US come out with a black eye of shame. If China backs down.... don't raise your hopes on that. Looks like we have a chance of going to sleep tonight and ...

 The World Bank says it has no new plans to help out Sri Lanka from circling the drain unless it comes up with a better macroeconomic plan Translated into English this means: Cut back on government on government spending especially that which are geared to helping the poor ( their logic: " Hey 1/2 of the people are starving. 1/3 is not such a big reach") Privitation: Sri Lanka Airlines bring in $1.9 billion a year. "Sell it off to private investors for $100" Open up the economy. Let speculative money flood into the country. That will raise foreign reserves so you can buy more crap ( they don't say that should something minor happen, like a monk tripping over a dog chain  and spraining an ankle, will lead to a flight of capital out of the country overnight that will send their currency  falling  so fast you'll be better off using it for toilet paper in a few days) I damn with all my heart the IMF, WORLD BANK AND EVEN IN DEATH THEIR DEMIGOD MILTON FREIDMAN AN...

All eyes are on Sri Lanka right now as economic devastation racks the country from end to end. But if your going to point fingers at the government don't to forget to point one or two at the International MONETARY FUND. his organization has tossed every damned country it has ever lent to into such turmoil it actually seems like they do it on purpose, like some Satanic institution determined to cause abject misery for every country who accepts their blood money and thus  signs their soul away as if to the Devil wrote the comnitions. Then you'll have a better undertanding of why Sri Lanka and all the other countries that deal with the Satan International Monetary Fund are headed the same way. And there are many.
