Hi everyone. Been a little out of circulation for awhile. I'm in a nursing home, rehabilitating from a nearly fatal bout of cellulitus. I am trying to escape from captivity on June 6th. But there's something blocking the doorway that has nothing to do with my medical status...A hugely flawed process in Ohio...more below the squiggle.

I've got a Masters. And trust me. I really don't understand the inside of the Tea Party wing of House Republicans heads.

I have no idea if the following was deliberate or inadvertent. But it's annoying.
I'm not wearing my tres fashionable tinfoil hat today, so I don't necessarily subscribe that my personal confusing experience in the quest of a mail in ballot is part of voter suppression efforts against groups more likely to vote the Democratic
ticket.

But head below the elegant squiggle for a short diary, a snapshot of what's happened...

it does contribute to the confusion about the new law, the climate in Ohio in a tiny way.

It'd go something like this,

Dear Mr. President:

Look, I'm not going to do any
handwringing over debates until after the election.

Mr. Romney won last night, but that's not as important as how he did it, as you know

(Parenthetical stage direction to head below the squiggle.)

Mr. Romney/Mr. Ryan:

Let me just state right up front:

I don’t have enough money to pay for a tax cut for you and those in your tax bracket.

This is not a political diary, and perhaps has no place here...but what we went through...

Would have been easier if a Republican president had mentioned the word "Aids" before 1985.

Would have been easier if four pharmaceutical corporations (not the kind of 'people' I'd invite to my house) had cleaned up their processing of factor VIII for hemophillia 24 months earlier than they did.

Would have been less crazy expensive if we'd been able to work out something like the Affordable Care Act back then.

And he might still be here. He died two years before protease inhibitors became available.

When I hear conservatives ready to change Medicare into a voucher, Medicaid into block grants...It's not just the impact on me, today, that I'm thinking about...It's what it would have done to him. Follow below the decoration.

Our government subsidizes agribuisness, and crop insurance...

...these days, I don't feel tough enough to engage my conservative relations directly. I hereby give permission, if anyone is discussing Medicaid with their conservative relatives and friends (Since the Supremes decision to make it optional brings it back into the news a bit) to use the following personal story to underscore the fact that 1. Medicaid is not "free" healthcare, and 2. Does not cover everything.

KosAbility is a community diary series posted at 5 PM ET every Sunday and Wednesday by volunteer diarists. This is a gathering place for people who are living with disabilities, who love someone with a disability, or who want to know more about the issues surrounding this topic. There are two parts to each diary. First, a volunteer diarist will offer their specific knowledge and insight about a topic they know intimately. Then, readers are invited to comment on what they've read and or ask general questions about disabilities, share something they've learned, tell bad jokes, post photos, or rage about the unfairness of their situation. Our only rule is to be kind; trolls will be spayed or neutered.<blockquote>
Below the squiggle for what I managed to pull together.

I'm sure many have seen the Lord of the Rings film from eight years ago. There's a scene showing the Wizard Gandalf fighting some giant demon....the demon is thrust from his perch, and falls towards a fiery end...but just as the wizard figures he's won, well...a lash of some sort comes up from the falling creature, grabs him by the ankle, and drags the Wizard down with him...

He thought he'd won...and suddenly he lost.

I'm feeling like that these days, because a consolation prize from my cancer has come back to bite me.

I decided not to watch the vote on MSNBC. Or CNN. I decided I want as little "spin" on today's vote as possible. So I went to Cspan.

This is not going to be measured, excessively intellectual, or well written...cause I don't have time.

Go below the squiggly thing for more.

This is a diary about disability and the definition of abuse, about a month old story that has pretty much faded from the news cycle...I've been asked to write on the subject, and so, here is a much calmer version of what I spat out on my own blog last month when we all heard about a Texas judge who was videotaped using a belt to beat up his sixteen year old daughter with disabilities. I was happy to see the concerns raised, but kinda amazed that the wider world out there was not aware that this happens all the time.
