Nation's Largest Union: Change Health Care Bill Or Else
Commented Dec 17, 2009 at 18:47:41 in Politics
“Didn't FDR say he couldn't get done what needed to be done without the prodding of progressives? Did Obama at least hint at the same thing? Regardless, it's good to see two powerful unions finally getting their hands dirty and demanding some reality here.”

“Yes and this is as true today as it was yesterday. Yet, the vote count is still the vote count. If nothing passes, we get nothing but a worsening health care situation. Our current health care system is already barbaric-- but it can get worse. We need this bill to pass this year. Without a first step, no-one ever learns to walk.”
GOP, Democratic Senators Agree: Get Swine Flu Vaccination
Commented Oct 18, 2009 at 21:27:53 in Politics
“Of course they agree. Want to bet just about every one of them receives beaucoup bucks from Big Pharma, and any of them who don't owe favors to those who do? I'm not saying don't get the vaccine, though I doubt I will (I'm 62), but my older daughter (8 y/o) had it and it lasted for about a week, but the fact that both Dems & Repubs can agree on this is certainly not persuasive either way as far as I'm concerned. They're all in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. Do your own research. Make up your own mind. Caveat emptor!”
Weiner: AHIP Report Makes Strongest Case In Weeks For Public Option

“I have had health insurance through my company for years and hardly ever used it, though my wife and kids have. Just last month I was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma and had no choice but to opt for a surgical and nuclear medicine procedure that excised some of the affected skin and a couple of lymph nodes that might have been implicated. Thankfully, everything went without a hitch, including coverage and payment. I am now cancer free and intend on pursuing a lifestyle that will go the farthest I can to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Don't think because you've been healthy all your life you will remain that way. I'm 62 and hardly ever get so much as a cold, but this could have killed me. I'm glad I was covered and feel for those who may find themselves in the same position with nothing.
Single Payer!!!!”

“Glad to hear it. You obviously have a good plan, as I did the last time I had major surgery (1998) when everything was covered. Now I have copays, a deductible, and a $1000 or $2000 maximum out of pocket cost - still better than a lot of people have, but I don't know how I'd pay that if I got something serious that necessitated my going on disability or something.”

“Over 95% of illness is cause by a diet high in fats,
the average American diet being 50% fats.
Over 30 years and not one penny on medicine,
and raised a family of five.
Just get it down to 10% fats, and perfect health is your.”

Obama Song Video: Tea Party Groups Protest B. Bernice Young School Over Children Singing Praise Of President

“If they sing a song about the sweet baby Jesus, would the protesters consider that indoctrination. Even we Jews don't complain about that one (most of us, at least). Silly. Hardly worthy of mention.”

----------
They'd sing along - but, before doing any singing, they'd want to check the lyrics and make sure all "liberal" passages had been stricken from the song.”

Michael Moore And Sean Hannity Face Off: Did Hannity Fib About Going To Church? (VIDEO)
Commented Oct 07, 2009 at 20:21:49 in Media
“What I have to say about Sean Hannity wouldn't possibly get past the HuffPo censors, so I will merely leave it to your imagination. I'm just going to patiently wait for enough people in this country to get fed up and decide it's time to take care of business. That and remain politically active and involved, and donate money to the people fighting against ignorance, intolerance, and hatred.”

“Let's call it what it really is. They don't care about the American people unless they are major donors. They are patently un-American. They have violated their oaths of office by selling their souls to the highest bidders (not their constituents who they were ostensibly elected to serve). They serve Mammon.”

“No it's not. It's the same as "no pain, no gain", or "you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs". There are other ways to say what EP said, but the bottom line is "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch". Open your eyes, young lady. Nothing worth having comes all that easy.”

“These right-wingers, being good Christian souls, should be very familiar with the phrase "as ye sow, so shall ye reap". Many of us refer to it as karma and others say "what goes around comes around". Whatever it is, the hatred and vitriol they are trying to use now are going to come back and bite them in the ass, and what they reap will be the whirlwind.”

Should Couples Sleep In Separate Beds?
Commented May 27, 2009 at 11:22:06 in Living
“Actually, I can sleep quite well with breathe-right strips, but they do absolutely nothing for my snoring. They do help me breathe, but fluticasone is so much easier. I agree with everything else you've said though. We sleep in separate bedrooms and it works just fine for us, especially since my wife got a CPAP. Thankfully, apnea is not a problem for me, but I can shake the rafters. When I used to go on a yearly camping trip with my buds and my brother, everyone refused to share a tent with me.”
Should Couples Sleep In Separate Beds?
Commented May 27, 2009 at 11:11:57 in Living
“I got tired of being elbowed in the ribs for snoring when I thought I was still awake. I once tried three so-called "stop snoring" aids at once; made it about two minutes before I was being assaulted. It should have been obvious sooner, but I started sleeping in the "guest" bedroom a few years ago and now we both sleep real well. The alternative was surgery; something I am not prepared to do, especially since she wouldn't even attempt wearing earplugs.”
