| #4 It took the doctors 20 hours to get him "stabilized", as it were. Probably lots of blood loss poor circulation. Maybe a stroke from poor oxygen supply. If he comes out of this in one piece I will be surprised. |

| #1 I wonder who he is praying to? As for Holbrooke - here's to a quick recovery and a well deserved early retirement. |
