I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" mparable to England or Canada . Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !

He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high- end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. (You know what the private business sector is...a real life business, not a government job!).

Yep! That's right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of the last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?

Like I said, interesting statistics,eh?  Yes,of course, anyone can offer statistics and make them sound the way they wish -- I'm merely reporting on these, take'em or leave'em, its your choice.

As for me, I shall soon depart NY State for a week and excited as hell to see my son and his family.  Yes, I definitely plan to get all four grandkids in one photo -- now that's gonna be awesome.  See ya later, behave now..oh hell, kick up your heels (just don't get caught).
