Social consciousness, not socialism. As one of the countries uninsured, I would happily wait 24 hours in a waiting room if it guaranteed treatment. I would wait the 3 months for a physical. I would pay the higher taxes if...
"Er...Steve, promise not to be mad, but on second thought, I think he may have been signing 'help, a boy is stuck in a well,' not 'I'll rape your entire family.'"...
"I don't know what confuses me more: that you have a genie living in your M1911 or that you wished for a drunk chimp passed out on a rorschach test."...
I'm going to jump on the "really, no editor at the post saw where this might be taken as racist" bandwagon. My belief is someone fell asleep at the helm, because what business north of the Mason-Dixon line (an intentional...
At what point do child services step in and start evaluating the situation? That many children with no income, inadequate living conditions, special needs children, and very little help with taking care of the children...not to mention her being a...
Sounds kinky. I think, though it might be related to 'noodling' - "Noodling is a southern US practice of fishing for catfish using only bare hands.", Wikipedia. Now excuse me while I go back to drinking and watching the monster truck rally......

Jenny Jenkins is a circus bear who is having trouble deciding what to wear for her performance. She gets a lot of suggestions from the other bears. In the end she surprises them by saying, "Oh what do you care, if I just go bare?" and then sings the refrain for the last time. Whimsical art matches the repetitive, rhyming lyric. The cassette featuring Jerry Garcia and David Grisman singing and playing the guitar make for a great sing along. The repetitive words, large font and picture-to-word match make this an appropriate book for beginning readers as well as a...
This lady and her big ball of crazy has inspired me. It is clear to me now that the Government must get out of the health care business. Completely. $0 money. $0 subsidies. 0 mandates. It must all stop. As soon as possible. Why does our federal, state and local governments spend as much on health care per American as Canadian federal and provincial governments spend per Canadian? Canada legally has to. We don't. And with each dollar our governments dangle to the insurance industry, there's a new regulation or mandate insurers must follow. Maybe mandates are an excuse to...
Pablo, I think the LaRouche crowd is different from the usual Democrats. As far as waiting. I've had to wait several weeks for physicals too. Don't know about emergency or serious care. (Knock on wood). I will say, my dental insurance has been pretty spiffy....
Also .... I don't know if anyone has gone to the Eye Dr at Walmart. I have. As far as I can tell it's the same thing as the independant outfits. The guy's got a diploma. Same tests. Costed me like 40 bucks or something and it was easy to get in....
That the spectre of McCarthy still haunts every political debate in the US even after over half a century is a testament to the power of propaganda. Only in the US could the concept of free healthcare for all regardless of the ability to pay be considered a subversive concept. The groups that would lose out the most are the medical insurance companies and the pharmecutical companies. These companie pay huge amounts of money to governers, senators and political parties and in return these polititions bring out the emotive language of the cold war to frighten the people into thinking...
