Love The Onion. There is a lot of real wisdom relating to ER underneath all the satire.

Funny, unless of course you have a relative in that situation, then do you let them get kicked to the curb ?

Sort of reminds me of a radio story where a fella had cancer so he racked up his credit cards since he was going to die. Trouble for him was it went into remission, so he spent the next 5 years paying off the debt, some of which was for pretty wasteful stuff

The Onion is great.

Ironically, this kind of describes Thomas Jefferson's financial life.

Jefferson lived perpetually beyond his means, spending large amounts of money on building projects, furnishings, wine, etc.
