    The health-care bill that Senate Republicans released Thursday would eliminate critical funds for core public health programs that make up about 12 percent of the budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The money supports programs to prevent bioterrorism and disease outbreaks, as well as to provide immunizations and screenings for cancer and heart disease.

    Thank you Republicans

    "At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge, ... it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir."
    "Are there no prisons?"
    "Plenty of prisons..."
    "And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
    "Both very busy, sir..."
    "Those who are badly off must go there."
    "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."
    "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."

    God Bless Us, Every One.

    Maybe she was upset your daughter repeatedly misspelled her last name.

    An apology might be in order. If not from Mrs. Chow-McConnell, maybe YF can sub in.

    Just because you "absolutely get it" doesn't make it any less malodorous. It only means you're protecting your right to be a cretin.

    To put this in context - thanks Wikipedia! - this is when she was president and CEO of the United Way.

    It's not like she was working for an organization that wanted and thrived on good publicity.

    Which is why I call bullshit on the whole thing.

    Accepting the idea that others have a right to criticize me for opinions I post and opinions I posted in the past makes me a cretin? Seriously, try reading what you respond to more closely next time.

    Reading what you write closely makes my head hurt. I am not alone.
