Part Two with Grover McKean, former assistant state treasurer Interview With Political Organizer David I. Shapiro Bill's new book is Big Daddy: Jesse Unruh and the Art of Power Politics. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I spend most of Tuesday night fantasizing about race-mixing (I'm willing to give up my National Alliance membership for the right woman). I need to know -- is Constance Rice married? If not, would she be open to converting to Judaism (I'd like our joining of souls to be sanctified by God and state)? I don't care she's ten years older than me. She looks ten years younger. She's getting her own chapter in my masturbation diary. There's no greater compliment I can give a woman. Now on to the pictures. There were some nappy-haired hos at this august gathering. Check out Bill Boyarsky. Not many people know that Bill and Al Sharpton share the same hair stylist. Bob Hertzberg puts the moves on Mrs. Zev Yaroslavsky. And that Kevin Starr. He hit the bottle pretty aggressively (given my Seventh-Day Adventist heritage, I regard two glasses of wine as aggressive, while consuming three -- unless it is Passover or Purim -- is just asking to be raped). I wish I could've been Bob Hertzberg, sitting up from with Connie, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Janelle Wong, head of USC's Jesse M.

Here's an article on what happens after you get lasik surgery: As with any kind of surgery, it's important that you follow your doctor's instructions to the letter. Get proper rest, fill and use any necessary prescriptions and call your doctor immediately if you suspect a problem. What occurs after the surgery can affect your vision just as much as the surgery itself. Immediately after LASIK, the doctor will have you rest for a bit, then you can go home (someone else must drive). At home, you should relax for at least a few hours. You may be able to go to work the next day, but many doctors advise a couple of days of rest instead. They also recommend no strenuous exercise for up to a week, since this can traumatize the eye and affect healing. Avoid rubbing your eye, as there is a chance (though slim) of dislodging the corneal flap. With LASIK surgery, most people's vision improves right away, but some find that their vision gradually improves even more over the next few days or even weeks. Most people achieve 20/20 or better vision with LASIK. Some may achieve only 20/40 or not quite as good. In fact, 20/40 is fairly good vision. In most states, the law considers it good enough for driving. Some patients may still need glasses or contact lenses following laser vision correction, though their prescription level typically will be much lower than before. [Read about outcome statistics.] Postoperative complications can include infection or night glare (starbursts or halos that are most noticeable when you're viewing lights at night, such as while you're driving). Rarely, people will experience improvement, then notice a gradual worsening of vision (called "regression"). If this happens, discuss it with your surgeon to determine if more surgery (called an enhancement or "touch-up") will be necessary. [See also: LASIK Complications] Even if you see perfectly after laser eye surgery, you may still need reading glasses or bifocal contact lenses once you hit your 40s. This is because of a condition called presbyopia, which begins to develop in most people when they're between the ages of 38 and 42. Your distance vision will probably remain crisp, but seeing up close will be more difficult. However, researchers are studying ways to correct presbyopia surgically. So it's possible that you could have one of those procedures later, once they are FDA-approved. [Read more about surgical correction of presbyopia.] |
