Tornado Alley (PROG)

Thank you, Jon Stewart, James Fallows and linkman. During the videos two thoughts came to mind. One,
hey!, from a kid i always knew the blond bimbo thing was a lie and a cheap shot. Two, this bird is not
'bimbo', but she sure has some "weird" mental state. She lies a lot about very important things.

In your very last link came the last little piece. She is actually
NOT the real McCoy, at all. It's just the way her name is pronounced.

Two excerpts below from your .. McCaughey on the Daily Show 21 Aug 2009 11:05 am

on the true value and wisdom of the not dangerous, not demeaning, not just bureaucratic muddling check lists,
which the 'will kill old people' broad has been telling so many lies about now. That blond is some piece of work.

About a week after my father’s death, The New Yorker ran an article by Atul Gawande ...

Still, the Army purchased a few aircraft from Boeing as test planes, and some insiders remained convinced that the aircraft was flyable. So a group of test pilots got together and considered what to do.

They could have required Model 299 pilots to undergo more training. But it was hard to imagine having more experience and expertise than Major Hill, who had been the U.S. Army Air Corps’ chief of flight testing. Instead, they came up with an ingeniously simple approach: they created a pilot’s checklist, with step-by-step checks for takeoff, flight, landing, and taxiing. Its mere existence indicated how far aeronautics had advanced.

.... profiling the efforts of Dr. Peter Pronovost to reduce the incidence of fatal hospital-borne infections. Pronovost’s solution? A simple checklist of ICU protocols governing physician hand-washing and other basic sterilization procedures. Hospitals implementing Pronovost’s checklist had enjoyed almost instantaneous success, reducing hospital-infection rates by two-thirds within the first three months of its adoption. But many physicians rejected the checklist as an unnecessary and belittling bureaucratic intrusion, and many hospital executives were reluctant to push it on them. The story chronicled Pronovost’s travels around the country as he struggled to persuade hospitals to embrace his reform.

It was a heroic story, but to me, it was also deeply unsettling. How was it possible that Pronovost needed to beg hospitals to adopt an essentially cost-free idea that saved so many lives? Here’s an industry that loudly protests the high cost of liability insurance and the injustice of our tort system and yet needs extensive lobbying to embrace a simple technique to save up to 100,000 people.

And what about us—the patients?

No man who would 'prefer' that blond could possibly be a gentleman.
