That Good Old Farm Bill

"Maybe uninsured American children who can’t get adequate health care could masquerade as cotton plants or cornstalks. Then the farm bill would shower them with money and care."

- New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. (Source: The New York Times)

Wow, something from Nicholas Kristof that isn't despicable.

Don't forget - our illustrious "president" claims we have national health care right now. It's called the emergency room. However, I think it's necessary to lie about your identity.

yes, Iheard that ridiculous comment. I also heard a piece on NPR the other day about the "president's" physical. They gave him a "clean bill of health". I must say I enjoyed hearing some info on his polyps. I'm not sure why he needs a colonoscopy, though, since he has his head up his ass most of the time. I also noted that he was not given a mental health exam.

Oh Gosh, how I miss Porto Banana on King Street with its signature dish: Reagan's Polyps.

Sigh. I miss Porto Bananas, too. Never had the Reagan thing, though.....
