Cheetah the chimp from the Tarzan movies is dead at age 80, from Obama shock and kidney failure, but mostly kidney failure. I would have bet on the cigarette smoking, but what do I know .http://tinyurl.com/6rhsckq

Sick?
Stop it with the fancypants foreplay.
You are just going to keep getting sick and Rubio's trash doesn't know the difference, anyway.

Last week, my 5 year old cat had to have an operation for what the vet through were cysts.
Well, today I got the news. My cute little young marbled tabby has feline mammary cancer.
Did I mention that I'm pretty much laid off from my job on the first of the year?

I do not actually recommend any hair of the dog that bit you.
But aspirin, Gatorade, something starchy (like bread or crackers, mostly), and water will do wonders for that post-Value-Rite blindness, I'm told.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I lost a wonderful cat to mammary cancer 10 years ago- it sounds crazy, but she had helped me get through losing a job 15 years ago.
My prayers are with you.

Huckabee's film. The part that swayed Perry was the woman who was conceived during a rape saying her life had value.
Seems perfectly consistent with what we know about Perry's ability to empathize with people (like the cancer patient who helped him become convinced the HPV vaccine was a good thing).
It's an incremental change in what seems to be a pro-life record on his part, so I don't see this changing voter responses, particularly in the general.

Get to feeling better, Ace. Wild Turkey American Honey is good for what ails you, a shot glass full with an ice cube in it, repeat until no pain is felt.

I'm still waiting for the stupid union goons at UPS to deliver my husband's Christmas present. They insist that it isn't lost but according to them has been at its destination point, which is 5 miles from my house, for 10 days. I can't get hold of anyone at UPS who actually speaks English to put a tracer on the damn thing. My husband said yesterday he actually saw a UPS truck on our street, but nothing was delivered to us. The shipper says it is out of their hands once it leaves them. ARRRRRGGGGHHHH
Needless to say, I will be using FedEx for all my shipping from now on!

It's certainly more conservative to expand the risk pool and lower everyone's health insurance costs by making everyone buy insurance, than it is to directly subsidize health insurance with tax dollars in order to bring the costs down or to have a total goverbnmebnt single-payer health care system.. Free markets can't work if there are too many free riders. It is an old conundrum in insurance, which is why states started making everyone who drives buy car insurance.
Conservatives keep saying we need more competition and private sector control over health care, but they really have not offered much of a solutuon to the free rider problem. In an aging society, more people need more health care as they get older, and the cost of insurance will keep going up to prohibitive levels as long as younger and healthier people are allowed to stay out of the risk pool. It becomes and chicken and egg situation when young people refuse to buy insurance because it is too expensive, and it gets too expensive precisely because younger people refuse to buy it. That is more or less where we are now.
My opinion is that there is more than one way besides traditional fee-for-service insurance to solve the problem. We need markets to develop for other alternatives such as prepaid health care plans, HSAs, cheap clinics for routine care, etc.

No, they didn't. They made everyone who drives on public roads show proof of liability- that's a huge difference.
There's also the part where I can choose not to drive a car. I can't (legally or morally) choose not to live.
The big thing is the Government requiring hospitals to treat everyone regardless of ability to pay. Remove that, and things will largely work themselves out. Hospitals and doctors would still treat those with true emergencies, but would be able to say "no" to those who use ERs as their primary care.
It's not conservative to force people into private contracts (which forcing them to buy insurance is).

Read Ed Morrissey's summary of what actually happened in VA. There is lots of good background there for those who are interested:
From the chair of the VA GOP: Second, the Republican Party of Virginia merely certifies petition signatures. We donÂ’t set ballot access laws. Those laws are set by the General Assembly, not by the RPV.
The other interesting item is that John Hinderaker (Powerline blog) has come out enthusiastically for Romney. Again, read the whole thing at Powerline.
If your only response to either of these items is to yell RINO!, then this whole discussion is pointless.

Incremental? The public isn't ready to ban abortion except for rape, incest, and mother's life yet, but they are OK with politicians who advocate that. But pushing for a ban on all abortions is extremism that is toxic stuff in a general election. Somebody like Santorum might just be able to get away with it because of his religion and because he can actually articulate a convincing, coherent defense of his position. All Perry has to offer is an inarticulate account of a politically convenient flip-flop.
Sorry, but this move by Perry has evaporated what remained of my enthusiasm for him. I'm back to not giving a damn who wins the primaries.

Which is pretty much everybody. You can't get anywhere without driving on public roads in most states of the Union. Maybe to New Yorkers and DCers this looks like a real difference, but to real people in fly-over country, the auto mandate is a real mandate.

Oh, damn, I am sorry that I forgot to include the WHY you should care...
"We believe police and employees who work for the most significant fortune 500 companies are the most responsible for perpetuating the machinery of capitalism and the state," said one Antisec participant, "That there will be repercussions for when you choose to betray the people and side with the rich ruling classes."
