Hmmmm.... I haven't done a Blogthing in a while, but Jay inspired me:

You Are a Knight

You are very unusual and even a bit eccentric. No one can really figure you out easily. Because you're not predictable, people behave irrationally around you. They may feel threatened by your presence, or they may underestimate you completely. You do best when you're close to the action. You don't move quickly, so you need to be near the center of things if you want to make a difference. You tend to act quickly, and decisively. In fact, you are often the first person to make a move.

What Chess Piece Are You?

Still think universal healthcare is a good idea? See what Dr. Panda has to say about that:

Somewhere, sometime…I don’t know when…the public has dropped even the pretense that the Emergency Department is anything other than an all-hours urgent care or some kind of one-stop shopping for all of your real and imagined medical problems. It it this impatience, the medicalization of all aspects of life, represented by patients demanding instant treatment for things that thirty years ago would be shrugged off that ensures our health care system will bankrupt us, especially when it is free.

Too true.

Have you ever received one single cocktail that was designed to erase every bit of constraint you showed for hours?

Just received the single most lethal "Old Fashioned," which is usually light and delicious, in my entire life. It must contain an entire bottle of Angostura Bitters, along with half a liter of Bourbon. My previously wavy hair just stood up straight in a halo around my head. Pray for me.
