After giving Congressional Testimony, Baby Matty was introduced to former Vice President Dick Cheney, who suggested that a light bernaise sauce might help to bring out her natural sweetness.
On the plus side, she is no longer worried about paying for her parents' and grandparents' health care. #healthcare
Arizona Republicans--from McCain and Kyl to every last sorry fuck in their house delegation--are painfully obvious about what they want, which is for insurance companies to be able to operate out of any state so that they'll all come to Arizona, which will be the state with no regulation. Insurers will be able to cancel you at the first sign of an illness and jack your premiums when the actuarial tables say you're about to get sick, and lots and lots of fun tricks besides.
They hope to do for Arizona what Tom Daschle did for South Dakota and credit cards and Joe Biden did for Delaware and the banking industry when they helped gut the usury laws in those states.
And that's the second prong of the GOP's plan for reforming health care in this country. The other, tort reform, would save about $10 billion a year. And it would put a price tag on everybody's life. Which is fine until some incompetent asshole who hasn't slept in four days puts a bad drug interaction onto a chart and your kid ends up a vegetable and you find out that you're limited to $100,000 to care for him for the rest of his life.
All he's doing with his granddaughter is gloating that she's not one of the millions of Americans who are without health insurance, or whose insurance is shitty and designed to deny care. If she were poor and uninsured and got diagnosed with cancer, I have to wonder what she'd say. I'm sure it wouldn't be the Cult for Growth pabulum he's pretending to make her spout. What an asshole.
The sad thing is, this kid is going to grow up to be just another ignorant entitled sorostitute at Arizona State.
Rep. Shadegg: She wants America's health insurance companies to have to compete with each other. She believes in choice.
He needs to learn the difference between health care and health insurance. Our current (competitive in his view, one supposes) insurance landscape leaves a lot of people without health care.
@Claire Buoyant: She also believes in crapping in her pants, which is what she has in common with lots of people on that socialist, government-run health-care plan, Medicare. #healthcare
Sometimes I wonder if the 80 degree November days are worth it. Between this and reading recent Arpaio quotes ( [blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com] ), I'm thinking it might be time to get the hell out of here. #healthcare
See, the baby-dummy represents the rightwing congressmen, and the Shadegg represents the ventriloquist healthcare industry. This is performance art of an order unseen since Paul Winchell died. Remember: he invented an artificial heart, so ventriloquists belong in this debate. #healthcare
People have been jogging with strollers for at least a decade. Is this some kind of new trend, or are they just re-running an old piece to prop-up the profits?
@Magister: more like over two decades, since the mid-80s. but then they were used by regular people who just into running. that is less than important than whatever rich people find interesting right now.
Actually, that BOB jogger is pretty awesome! I do run with it, it is harder than running alone, but I can't afford a babysitter, or a gym (with a babysitter) and I talked my MIL into buying it for us as a family gift. It's also the best stroller ever. Also, I'm doing a marathon in 5 weeks! yay me! What was this post about?

That's because there is something wrong with being fat. Stop it with the denial already.
