| I always admired what an upbeat, decent, intelligent man he was. Fox has the story all day, I'm sure, but he was deeply devoted to his family, his faith, and his country. RIP, Tony |

| #7 I hope the MSM eulogy lasts as long as the one for the equally likable and talented Russert. Oh, I doubt it. The inimitable AP spin... Critics suggested that Snow was turning the traditionally informational daily briefing into a personality-driven media event short on facts and long on confrontation. He was the first press secretary, by his own accounting, to travel the country raising money for Republican candidates. Although a star in conservative politics, as a commentator he had not always been on the president's side. He once called Bush "something of an embarrassment" in conservative circles and criticized what he called Bush's "lackluster" domestic policy. |

| #4 He really defined the position of press secretary. I hope the MSM eulogy lasts as long as the one for the equally likable and talented Russert. |

| #2 There are now a bunch of different kinds of "wireless pill endoscopes" in common use, and they are trying very hard to radically expand their use. You wear a special belt for a day, then swallow the big pill, and you don't even try to recover it, it is expendable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_capsule_endoscopy You return the belt to them, and they download the images. I knew a woman who had this procedure done just a few months ago. Two 10 minute outpatient visits, mostly administrative. Swallow a pill, put on a belt, do a functions check, then have a nice day. One day later, return the belt. Heck of a lot better, faster and safer than general anesthesia and a typical endoscope that only sees a third as much intestine. |
