I just don't understand,

how so many people can be against reforming medical costs. I know the insurance/drug/hospital lobbies are very powerful, and the right wing will lie (they're gonna kill grandma, and illegal aliens will be covered), and do whatever it takes to make Obama look bad, BUT, don't these yokels realize what the current system is like? We have the highest priced (by far) health care in the world, that is # 38 in effectiveness. Looking at Kari's hospital bills, (hundreds of thousands of dollars, to fix the mistake they made last time) and watching health insurance premiums rise to the point that buinesses can't afford to insure their employees, and Medicare is on track to bankrupt the country, one would think it would be obvious something has to be done, BUT, the Repubs have found an issue they can run with, no matter HOW wrong. They proudly say this can be Obama's downfall, as if trying to fix the Bush economic mess isn't enough. I just don't understand....

Fearmongering, plain and simple. The same thing happened when Social Security was enacted. Scare tactics work. When you are Congress and your campaign funds come from Pharmacutical and Insurance Companies, you're not going to look a gift horse in the mouth and say, "I'm voting for reform, because it's in the best interest of my country." Plus, you definiately don't want to share what you have with (God Forbid) the rest of the people! Plus, it's a givin that govt.really doesn't work well ie.; Homeland Security, Welfare, Cash For Clunkers, FBI, CIA, NSA, Congress, Depts of Interior, Agriculture, IRS,FAA, FDA, etc. I could go on for pages. Too many chiefs and not enough indians, I reckon. People figure, it's an accident waiting to happen.

Yup,the same people who brought us Bush's, 'Oops, bad info', war, and thought nothing of it, now say Obama is a Socialist, for wanting to bring health care under control, are willing to say anything, to wreck his presidency. War is good, Dems are bad. Same ol' shit. Ain't gonna change. FOX RULES!!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
