Wonderful week - and it's only Wednesday!
What a wonderful week this has been!
The government actually voted in a health care package that promises to do horrible and terrible things to the American people, things like: give everybody access to doctors and hospitals, and which will make sure that my daughter will still be able to get her asthma medication from insurance companies who, last Saturday, would have refused to cover her for a "pre-existing medical condition." From now on, our local hospital will no longer be able to expel from their ER people dying of a ruptured appendix or suffering from severe gallstones simply because they lack coverage.
Also, those pesky Canadians did the unthinkable, the horrific, dirty lowdown thing of actually silencing the most evil strident voice of sheer hate that this side of the border has ever produced - Way to go U of Ottowa - you may not be my Alma Mater, but you're my new favourite!!!
(and just so you naysayers really understand it - silencing Ann Coulter is not silencing free speech, it's silencing HATE SPEECH. Hate is not free - it costs us in ways we can't calculate in cold hard cash.)
Lastly, and even though people deride him for a) not using more active verbs and b) not spanking Germany as well, the POPE at long last issued a proclomation at least acknowledging that Irish Catholic priests molest little boys, which is something that every male in Ireland under the age of 60 knows all too well. For what little other solace it might give, at the very least he spoke the words: which would only be surpassed by George Dubya Bush to admit verbally that he invaded Iraq and killed our economy with a 800 BILLION unwinnable war for no other reason than he had "daddy" issues.
If only we could get him to admit that . . . but hey , this week's gone so well already, maybe I'll hear the announcment on CNN by Friday.
Nice!
