I haven't been able to give much money this election. I try to make up for it with volunteer hours, but I always wish I could do more. I think I can spare $20-30 for a last minute donation. Question is where would it do the most good? Take the poll.

Nothing new here. My right-wing plastic surgeon uncle is coming into town this weekend for a family wedding. Though I promised my father I wouldn't start anything, I have permission to finish it.

Limiting medical liability is the centerpeice of Bush's plan to reduce health care costs. You know, so OB/GYN's can practice their love on women.

It takes just one link deciding to keep their new found savings for themselves, or each keeping their "fair share," for the consumers to be left out entirely. But I'm sure that won't happen.

Bush said hope 23 times and he wasn't saying "hope is on the way".

By my fairly quick count (using find "hope" or "hoping" on the Washington Post transcript), Bush used the word "hope" and it's variations 23 times. Some examples... Read More
