Anyone with a functioning brain,

and even some Conservative Republicans, had to realize it was gonna take a long time to get the immensely complicated Affordable Care Act up and running, as the US struggles to join the rest of the civilized world with affordable health care, in SPITE of the Pubs. AND, it's gonna take a LOT of tweaking, esp with the Repubs fighting it at every opportunity (FIFTY  idiotic 'defund' votes in the Senate). Today the Rand Corporation released a study,  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/08/health-insurance-obamacare_n_5112836.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D462514, that shows over 9 million more Americans will be insured by the end of the year, compared to last year. And many, like my daughter, can't be denied coverage, for pre-existing conditions, when they need it the most. Some Repubs, incl the Senator from Nebraska, are warning that they better have something else to run on/against (by 2016 and maybe even by 2014) cuz Obamacare is looking like something that the American people actually need and like. Duh.... Affordable Health Care? Who da thunk?

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...
