1. What's his face from NPR said that wasn't true on Fox News Sunday.

I was flipping around, and came across it, and decided to give it a chance. It was a surprisingly moderated debate. They even cited the polls saying this issue is a loser for Republicans.

April 1st is later this week, though.

2. Probly a CT scan, I think she has implants that would preclude an MRI

It's been posted here about 50 times.

6. Added it...thank you maple!

Still on my first cup of coffee this morning & not quite up to speed.

I never heard of that blog before; that's just the first site that had the pic when I googled.

10. Thanks for the link...

I have only read a few of the posts there, but by far;
it is the most reasonable and civil discussion I have
seen on this subject. I hope as I read further, I won't
have to eat my words.

Nominated.

5. The scan she had showed what was and wasn't there.

The scans she didn't have would show functioning in what was left.

I don't think she had the latter. She had the former. The the post just before mine.

Poor people. Maybe we should email her scan to them. Send the link to Faux too while we are at it.

9. She CAN'T have another MRI

She had electrodes implanted into a part of her brain called the thalamus in 1992. Metal casts shadows on MRI films, rendering them useless at that area.

An MRI or PET scan won't recreate what isn't there. Her cerebral cortex has atrophied and been replaced by fluid. The CT scan showed that very clearly. More testing won't replace what aint there.
