The cats are sitting on top of the heating grate to get whatever warm air comes out. Walking TMF in this weather ain't happening, he's a placid kitteh but he ain't into water, heh :). <br /><br />- Badtux the Fire-watchin' PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-83852429371931463542010-11-20T15:56:56.417-08:002010-11-20T15:56:56.417-08:00I'm sure Palin & friends can find some way...I'm sure Palin & friends can find some way to rationalize this, blame it on the nazis, socialists, whatever. Just like outlawing abortion after choosing not to have one. <br /><br />Who knows how many similar stories like this are out there but won't get the publicity. I have a friend who died because he didn't have health insurance. At 27-years-old, he was worth even less than a dollar.<br /><br />If I found a congressman/AZ state rep on the side of the road bleeding, I'd spit on him/her & walk away. If only I'd have the opportunity.<br /><br />Badtux -- you need to stop reading these depressing stories & walk your cat more!dah_sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600893678085625549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-21519114212343329362010-11-20T08:57:27.158-08:002010-11-20T08:57:27.158-08:00In Georgia, the price of a human life is $10.

The Peach State is expansive, but with few first-class emergency treatment hospitals. Lots of folks live more than an hours' travel time from one. And if you're mangled, you stand a better chance of living if you get high-acuity treatment in less than an hour.<br /><br />"We'd rather DIE than pay more taxes!" was the decision of Ga. voters. They did approve ballot measures giving tax breaks to businesses, though. I have no sympathy for people that fcuking stoopit. They deserve the pain-filled, bleeding death that will come to them, unlike the poor cardiomyopathic sod in Arizona. Too bad the NPR story didn't have the balls to mention how the Arizona government is the REAL death panel, although I see that some commenters on the story did.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
