THE REAL PROBLEM IN HEALTHCARE IS PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY USE TOO MUCH OF IT

Great Line ! Unfortunately it's not original - it belongs to California Nurses' Shum (another blog writer). But the point is true - health care is great to have, just don't use it. Sponsored by the American Funeral Home Owners Association.

WHY DOES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ACT LIKE IT JUST CAME INTO OFFICE !

I mean where have they been?

Tony Snow's and Dick Cheney's responses to the continuing problems at Walter Reed Hospital, other DOD hospitals and the DVA hospitals would lead one to believe that the Bush Administration just look office this past January. And the hospital controversy isn't the beginning. They responded this way since November 8, 2006.

And I thought they had been in office since January 2001.

VIETNAM-SYLE COLLAPSE

Or how I spend my six-month tour in Iraq. Even the 'Baghdad brains trust' of senior US militiary officers know they have just six months to get it half together or its on to Plan B. I wonder how many Americans must die or be wounded to show that this Administration didn't have a plan nor a clue, except get the oil.

2008 ELECTION WILL NOT BE ABOUT IRAQ

Yes, you hear it from me here - the 2008 elections, nearly 20 months away, will not be about the war in Iraq or the Middle East. It will be about the economy and specifically the condition of the middle class. The issues will revolve around stagnate income and wages, health care coverage and costs, education, and retirement - particularly regarding the baby boomers. Nearly all the candidates have not real platform on these issues. And more tax cuts for the rich and corporations aren't going to cut it.

I AM TIRED OF HEARING . . .

THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS WRONG ABOUT IRAQ'S WMDs. Or so the right wing defenders continue to say as cover for their ignorant insistence and blind obedience. THE TRUTH IS . . . many of us could see that IT WAS ALL MADE UP. But did the right wing listen? No! They wanted this war, and demonized those of us who questioned and opposed it from the beginning. Now they want to stay because 'you can't leave it a mess'.
Or is it that the oil legislation is finally reaching a decision point. Once the legislation becomes law and oil contracts are let, look for the US military to begin to disengage.
That's my take.
