Particular ponderings puzzling on a Wednesday

Why do doctors communicate with each other in front of you using terms that they think you won't understand, and then act amazed that you understand them?

Is it really sanitary for women to leave their work shoes at the office tucked under their desk?  Especially in an office where others use that desk when she's not there?

When the law of the state of CA says that board of rights hearings for cops have to be secret, why do idiot politicians and reporters talk about cops who want their case to be re-examined signing a waiver to hold a public hearing?  They can't waive their right of privacy.

I didn't know Rachel McAdams was with Michael Sheen.  Then again, I didn't care. 

Will Stone Temple Pilots lead singer Scott Weiland be filing for unemployment now that the rest of the band has fired him?

Why is Tina Fey saying "no way" to the possibility of her hosting next year's Oscars, with or without Amy Poehler? 

What kind of middle name is Lashun?  How do you put the word "shun" anywhere in a child's name?

Dog bites man, yes.  Man bites dog, maybe.  Dog shoots man, no.  Hell no.  But it happened.  Fortunately the man shot by his dog survived the experience.

Is the media the best place for a school district and the parents of a six year old that is apparently a transsexual to fight over whether or not the child can use the bathroom that doesn't match the child's genitals?

Nevada, New Jersey or Delaware?  Which will become the mecca of on-line gambling?  All three are vying for the place, which will mean getting millions in new tax revenues.

Will Yahoo be better or worse in the wake of forcing telecommuting employees to abandon their computers at home and get themselves into the office?  I say worse.

Will someone please tell the Massachussets Department of Public Health (or the local one if they're responsible) to stop sending "fat letters" home regarding young children they think are "overweight"?
