I'd be against it too,


if I believed all the lies put out by FOX and the other shills about the health care bill. IF, the Repubs hadn't successfully killed all the former tries at reform we wouldn't be in the mess we are today, where over 80% of businesses say that health care is their #1 cost and concern. People w/insurance at work think it's wonderful, until they realize how much is coming out of their check to pay 'big medicine'. It remains the fastest growing expense for gov't, businesses and individuals. The Repubs were SO happy to kill the Clinton health bill which have gone a LONG way toward fixing today's mess, and they are just as adamant about killing it today, NOT because it is so bad, BUT because it will weaken the Dems. Talk about transparency! We remain the ONLY major country in the world w/out comprehensive health care and if you see who sponsors ALL the ads against it, you will see who is making the big bucks. Sure, the current bill isn't ideal, or even close, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere, other than just saying NO! to every attempt at reform.

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...
