Huh, I just heard speculation about Dick Lugar as Secretary of State.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
one of the most worrisome aspects of job loss is health insurance loss, particularly if you have preexisting conditions.
Oh God yes. I always say my childhood would have been a different thing altogether if there had been national healthcare. I was raised by a chronically ill single parent. She would either be in the hospital or working her ass off at multiple jobs to catch up from when she'd been in the hospital. Without overwhelming medical bills? I can't even imagine. Actually, I can imagine -- we'd have been middle class instead of poor, no two ways about it.

Never thought about it, but OMG that sounds like a porn name. For XXX Nazis.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe Dick Lugar and Dick Army could star in a porno together. Um, they could be in the Army... at Fort Dix.

I wouldn't be in the job I have now if they didn't offer insurance from day one. I would have had to stay in the crappy hellhole because Hubby can't go through a change of insurance or try to figure out new sets of doctors. And COBRA would have been impossible to afford.
But bless my forward-thinking employers who assume we're professionals and insures everyone.

I think about eight people in the world would get that joke and they're all right here. Well, and Ryland.
I still want someone to ask Ryland if the reason why he's never seen on camera with Guy Ripley is because they're secretly having a torrid affair.

I'll ask him after an Ivy League show. I think it is distinctly possible.

I can't look at the name Ryland without thinking of Homicide's internet sex pervert, Luke Ryland, whom Tim Bayliss blew away.(One of the few fist-pumping killings in that series, except what it cost Timmy.) Most people probably don't think of that very often.
