They chose to ignore it all b/c they wanted it or b/c they were pressured into it. God forbid it should damage Obama's presidency.

LOL, that's the most wood she's held in her hand, in years. Dare i say orgasmic?

Just did.

Here's another effer that passed under the radar.

The med companies now have a 12 year buffer from the challenges of having a generic drug put on the market.

My mom had a wonderful saying for times like this.

Por el culo de el? Le miran el sol!

Lol, that should replace one of the most feared procedures on the planet.

I plan on going bareback when I vote next time.

Nothing but the best for my reps!

I still don't understand how forcing people who can't afford to buy insurance now to buy it or face a big fine is such a wonderful idea? Am I missing something? When did we become a dictatorship?

And when you fail to pay the fine? The arsehats are going to go after your income tax refund.

I love oblivion, most of the folks that really bother me are there, out of my way.

What refund? Haven't had one in years and years.

They are planning on raiding the SS trust fund to help pay for all this. Only problem is, they raided that after 9/11 and never paid it back. Guess we will all be moving in the White house with the Pres soon.

There has never been a SS trust fund. It's all general revenue, theoretically tabbed for the specific use of SS........but Congress has NEVER pooled the money, they have always spent it.

9/11 has nothing to do with this issue.

Maybe not but before 9/11 they said SS had an excess to keep it going for about 50 years or so. After 9/11 it was gone. I'm sure I don't know what they did with it but it went somewhere.

It went where "projections" always go, into the trash can or down to the market for use as fish wrapper.

Politicians lie. To each other, about each other, and against each other, especially when campaigning.

Long term economic projections are nice targets, but in reality they're useless.

Back in the '80s the Houston Astros had a pitcher named J.R. Richard.
This dude was like 5 foot 20 inches tall and was a commading pitcher.

He ended up having a stroke when he was 30 years old and never pitched in the major leagues.

That season I went to a ball game and there were some OBNOXIOUS Houston fans sitting behind us.

They started to talk crap about Houston not winning the division and the only reason my team was going to win was because of that.

I turned around and told him that if that is the way we were going to win the division, we didn't want it.

Some people want to win at all costs and have no qualms about running roughshod over the losers and will bend the ear of anyone one that will listen.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
-Bob Dylan
