I’ve never understood how it can even be legal for hospitals to have parking fees for patients. It’s not like you became ill simply to take advantage of the parking situation so why are they charging people?

In the case of my local hospital, they do it because there are apartment complexes nearby and the residents used to abuse the hospital’s parking spots when they couldn’t find a spot in their residence.

Mohammed, when I said “You gotta take care of that journalist, chop-chop!”, I didn’t mean it literally!

Yes, nothing like coming out of a rough week alone in isolation in a hospital room, with friends and family not allowed to enter the room, and finding out the system sometimes makes small allowances for kindness and common sense. It sure felt great.

Small things like that give me back hope in humanity. Too bad they’re few and far between.

I went to the ER the other day. I drove myself to the hospital, parked at the short-term parking lot right next to the ER (I was trying to make a beeline there, I really wasn’t concerned about where I parked). I expected to out within 2 or 3 hours but the hospital ended up keeping me for a week.

When I came out, I expected my car to be impounded, or at least covered in parking tickets. But no: there was only one with a warning and nothing to pay.

When I checked the case number on the city’s parking fine webpage, the comment indicated “Driver reported hospitalized - fine waived.”

They actually checked with the hospital. Nice!

Is this kethead Nazi still in the news? Who cares about him now that he’s not in a position to hurt anyone anymore?

What a loss. Oh the humanity!

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Here’s my suggestion: find someone you won’t have to change the diapers of by the time you start needing reading glasses yourself.

How would he know without knowing himself?

Something tells me the brother’s hands aren’t super clean either.

Something also tells me he’s setting himself up to fall off a window or accidentally hang himself without the camera rolling soon…

Wait until it happens. I can’t count the number of people who dramatically stated they’d relocate to another city or country if some politico or other was elected and never followed through. Most people who say that are all talk and no walk…

Are political commentaries from a loser really useful?

In fairness, the differences are slim.

The thing people fail to realize is, the political spectrum isn’t a line that goes from left to right. It’s a ring, and the extremities almost touch.
