58 views, but only 15 people bother to vote?

Just like real life.

"Who gives a fuc1<"

Should have been an option.

The country as we know it has been doomed for some time now. This just seals the deal.

If it helps the Conservatards get though it any easier, think of it as a Taxpayer funded corporate bailout for your immune system.

Great little aside by Charlie Pierce in Esquire about an Alzheimer's pilot program that looks very progressive. If you have an aging parent you're worried about, you should read.

http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politic...4215b49d134735

One of the overlooked elements in Thursday's decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act is that, beyond the individual mandate and the hysterical politics surrounding it, the act itself is chock-full of innovative ideas and pilot programs and all sorts of other experimental goodness directed toward making easier the lives of people dealing with serious health problems. Like, for example, Alzheimer's Disease.

Tucked away in the act is a pilot program for 10,000 people called the Independence At Home program. This is a technique first developed by the Veterans Administration by which a patient with a chronic disease, like Alzheimer's, is treated in his or her own home by a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, geriatric pharmacists, and any other health professional whose specialty is required.

This is not only cost-efficient, being infinitely cheaper than hospitals and nursing homes, but it is a comfort for the patients and their families, for whom familiar surroundings can be essential for psychological well-being.

Actually a lot further back than that. Maybe you can look back to when Bush the 1st and Clinton were walking around arm in arm once they figured out how to bamboozle congress into believing NAFTA was going to be a great thing.
