To a speedy recovery.

More prayers heading your way.

I always tell the Dr. that I want two things when I wake up. A Foley and a morphine drip. Looks like you got the same. Hope that you are better soon.

That's the spirit, fighting every inch of the way.

I'd hate to see what happened to the other guy!

Hopefully they put everything back together right! I'm glad to see you survived!

May you be in Heaven 30 minutes before the Devil knows you're dead, 20 years past the time he was expecting you.

Don't know ya but I like your attitude. Hang in there and go kick some ass.

God bless you! Attitude counts!

Looks like someone just told you that obama-care is coming to your hospital and your room, heh, heh.

Kevin Baker | May 27, 2009 7:45 PM | Reply

Watch where you poke that finger!

Good to see the proper attitude, though! I ask again: Need anything? Let us know.

DJMoore | May 27, 2009 8:02 PM | Reply

Watch that finger, or they'll tape it up, too.

Um, why the eye patch? (I just watched an episode of House, M.D. where Dr. House breaks into an operating room to stop a procedure he now knows isn't needed. "Don't touch his eye!" "Uhh...this is an appendectomy." Long pause. "Like I said, don't touch his eye!" House's patient's surgery had been pre-empted by the busted appendix patient....)

Whatever, glad you made it through the surgery.

Brerarnold | May 27, 2009 8:24 PM | Reply

Love the attitude! Continued prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.

Fits | May 27, 2009 8:35 PM | Reply

Now is the perfect time to maintain an even strain. Semper Fi.

Are you telling the nurses that gave you the cold bedpan they are number one?

Get well soon!

Paul | May 27, 2009 9:08 PM | Reply

Hope you marked the spot where they were supposed to operate. Sure would not want them to take out the wrong thing!

Get well soon. With NK about to start a nuke war, America going broke, and Obama wanting a national sales tax (and still the same income tax) we need you in one piece to keep up with that is happening!

Get well and keep blogging!

It must be the morphine.
Get well soon, David.

Stay defiant, David! It'll give you strength.

And keep the morphine coming!

A man's man, to be sure.

Continue, sir, in your pursuit to perservere.

If that's your attitude when your in ICU, I'd hate to mess with you when your feeling good!

Looks like you've maintained the right attitude. We're pulling for you.

That's the spirit! Hope they get you to more comfortable accommodations soon, and then out the door and back to your normal routine shortly thereafter.

Stop laying down on the job! You ain't done yet! God speed in getting well.

Here's some reading for ya!

Jakub Grygiel, The Power of Statelessness, Policy Review, April & may 2009, no. 154, pp.35-50 in bookstores now but it is also online at: www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/41708942.html

Article focuses on new technology that enables the masses, from ordinary John Q. Public to constitutional "rights extremists," to organize outside state control. Very interesting article.

It takes Flash Mobbing to a new level, from social pranks to civil disobedience, to criminal activity, to even rebellion and revolution.

Here's one more current study everyone may find interesting:


State Supported and State Associated Gangs: Credible "Midwives of New Social Orders"
www.strategicstudiesinstitute.army.mil/pubs/display.cfm?pubID=876

The author addresses the subject of the multifaceted nature and predominant role of gangs operating as state and nonstate proxies in the modern unbalanced global security environment. In every phase of the process of compelling radical political change, agitator-gangs and popular militias play significant roles in helping their political patrons prepare to take control of a targeted political-social entity. As a result, gangs (bandas criminales or whatever they may be called) are important components of a highly complex political-psychological-military act—contemporary irregular asymmetrical political war.
Published May 2009, Authored by Dr. Max G. Manwaring
