Thought I would throw a little medical tech at ya'll. This is the guy who founded my department in the 1940s. Quite a quack, but his research with deep brain stimulators opened the door for some amazing things we're doing now.
Johns Hopkins has some cool videos showing the differences with the stimulators off and on. Also an animated video showing the procedure.

D-Day + 1
To the Joint Expeditionary Forces of the Cocks:
According to my calculation, based solely on the counter present to your right, we are now less than 90 days from kickoff. We are about to embark on an undertaking that has never before been attempted by mankind. Some of our brothers and sisters may not return, but we shall fight on.
Now is the time to begin dusting off those old "All dirt roads lead to Clemson" and "I Plant Taters Avery Yare" bumperstickers - and my personal new favorite, "Fuck LSU." Training for hours on end of heavy drinking and yelling at television announcers begins now.
We will not submit. We will not quit until our mission is complete.
That is all.

"Now it's on to Chicago and let's win there."
Forty years ago today, shortly after midnight and after claiming victory in the California Democratic Primary, Robert Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan. He died the next day and on June 8th was eulogized by his brother Edward before being transported by a slow-moving train to Arlington where he was buried not far from his older brother John.
Despite the difficulty of such a task, Newsweek's Evan Thomas attempts to envision what a Robert Kennedy presidency might have looked like.

Telecom Immunity Update
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre (really, dude? -ed.) Reyes has claimed that he is willing to compromise with Republicans on telecom immunity, namely by allowing the secret FISA court to determine whether immunity ought to be granted. This is a similar proposal to the one offered by Diane Feinstein (D-CA) months ago, a proposal which, had it been accepted, would likely have made disclosure of the specifics of the surveillance program impossible.
As Digby notes, the 40 or so lawsuits against the the telecoms aren't that serious of a threat to the companies in terms of potential awards:
"There just isn't enough money at stake to explain this. Nobody's suing for the money, they are suing for the discovery. Something bad happened here and the Democrats are helping the Republicans cover it up."
