Very good piece from the Associated Press about Elizabeth Warren.   As I have written before, I have been long familiar with her work in the area of bankruptcy law.  She has long been considered one of the leading experts in the United States on that topic.

Ever the opportunist, Patricia Ward Kelly, the widow of screen great Gene Kelly, puts in her two cents worth about the Lara Spencer dustup.

Because you have no attraction for somebody who is so screwed up he or she doesn't know what sex he or she is, the blame rests squarely on you for being a bigot.

From a piece early this year, a cosmetic surgeon wants to see a  ban on the procedure.

From 2011 to 2016, there were 25 BBL deaths among members of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. In 2017, a plastic surgery task force astonishingly reported that 3 percent of plastic surgeons who performed the procedure had a patient die. From 2013 to 2018, just one Florida clinic had at least eight patients die.

Last August, a task force found that BBLs had a death rate of up to 1 in 3,000, the highest from any aesthetic procedure. This approaches the death rate from gall bladder surgery, and the overall death rate for BBLs is even higher than the death rate for patients under 50 years old who undergo gallbladder surgery. Diseased gallbladders must be removed, accepting any risks, but no one has ever succumbed to a small buttocks.
