MAXINE SUMS UP THE HEALTH CARE BILL.....



Let me get this straight......we're trying to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke. What the heck could possibly go wrong?
thanks to my friend Sherry who sent me this.....to think....it had to be said by a cartoon
character....

That about sums it up!! Yea, for Maxine - she is smarter than the government. How did I miss the corned beef post? I cook mine in the crock pot, too; but usually add carrots, potatoes, and cabbage. I always wait until Mike comes home to do my corned beef meal, since he was my St. Pat baby. We're having tacos for supper, as Caitlin is coming for supper and that's her favorite. Happy Green Day.

A cartoon character doesn't have to worry about being politically correct. Good for Maxine!

I am stunned by the arrogance of Nancy Pelosi and her determination to get this bill passed when most people in the US are so against this. Who does she think she is?

I love it... I'll have to show this to Pa! Had to come back today to recheck the corned beef directions. I'm about to put it in the crock pot as soon as I get up off the couch:)

Wait! Waving my hand over here! I've never understood why employers are responsible for health care, tho' I think labor unions pushed it. Our personal experience was that after my husband's company pulled out of the US, we were faced (at age 60) with buying our own. The cost? $2900 a month with $5,000 deductible and no drug coverage. I'm definitely for better options, especially in today's volatile job market.

I don't know whether I'm for THIS plan or not because, like Maxine, I don't know what's in it.

As for the Prez smoking, (although I have read he's trying to quit and I'm glad he doesn't do it in public) I don't think that disqualifies him from trying to do something to reform health care. That's sort of like saying people that haven't been in the military can't vote on war matters.

Still haven't taken a photo of front of house for your decorating advice. It's rained so much I'm afraid to answer the phone--probably the beach Chamber of Commerce, asking me to learv so the good weather will come back.

PS Maxine reminds me--and my kids--so much of my mother! We hang a Maxine ornament on the tree every year...in memory of Mama. :)

Yup, I think Maxine summed it up pretty well.

I wish you could take a bite of each one and tell us which is best. I think I'd chose the one with the banana. YUM!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...
