#4 Anguper, I think you're gonna get the mods after you for that picture being too big. I suppose the message is that those kids were poor. Maybe the message is that's the way we're gonna be again. But at least those kids were U.S. citizens at a time when that really meant something.

I've edited the links to resize two overly-big photos inserted in photos today, including the one above.

Dear readers: if you are inserting links to pictures, please check that the img code includes a width= phrase. If the width is not specified or is greater than 300, please add the following within the angle brackets: width=300 . You'll know you're in the right place if you insert this after phrases like valign=top or align=right etc.

The mods are busy and don't always have time to fix things. Deleting an overly large picture is much quicker for us than editing things, so please take time to do this yourself.

#7 "Sometimes we take a bed sheet instead and use it for several patients," said Kiki Kiale, a radiologist specializing in cancer screening. "It's tragic but there's no other solution."

Tragic? A sheet instead of paper? Try getting a little perspective, doc.

People dying is tragic. People sharing a sheet for an exam table is inconvenient.

Idiot.
