Healthcare reform
For the record, now having been out of the country a while, Ive learned that most developing countries revere the FDA and AMA and since they don't have the ability to create similar institutions, merely tag off of what the FDA makes legal as what's legal in their country. However, Europes are also much faster, and Brazil has now tagged off of them.

Healthcare reform
That's great, but there are caps and in addition to that there have been numerous, numerous cases of people being dropped from their coverage when they get a disease because they were found to have not marked that they had an unrelated pre-existing disease that was so mild they didn't know they qualified. I find it kind of funny there is so much harping for cost controls on the doctors and hospitals now, because in the beginning there was a lot of buls*** about how you were taking away doctors profits. And people like doctors. So we know that wasn't going to happen.

Just throwing this out there
Well, at the very least, I learned that smoak's name is pronounced smoke, and not smoAK. SO thanks, knackattack.

Nice article about Danks1 and Floyd
Yes, if only kenny had waited 24 hours longer so you could have written the mediocre range of "between pearl harbor day and christmas" because, as we all know, that has some sort of significance. if kenny had only waited four months longer, he would've acquired TWO between st. patricks day and Easter...how about that!

Healthcare reform
No one knows what's in the bill? I do. The one thing they are negotiating is abortion and that will be something similar to the senate or house. If you don't know what's in it it's because YOU HAVENT READ THE BILL! READ THE BILL! READ THE BILL!

Wasn't the hype over silveiro just kind of a reaction to that kind of money thrown at a "16" year old? Wouldn't you think there was something to it? That was just an absurd, dark time in the White Sox org. But hey, maybe dude can become somethin.

Healthcare reform
I agree with her though. As it stands now the media continues to follow the horserace, I guarantee that as soon as they pass it the media switches to "here's what's in the bill that we should have told you about months ago but continued to follow death panel threats and government takeover statements to appear balanced"

Healthcare reform
also, once again. The entire bill is not being passed thru reconciliation. The senate bill passed with 60 votes, and now the house may pass the senate bill. Then, changes to that bill will be made through reconciliation. Also, acting like passing a bill through majority rule is somehow crazay is just really odd.

have to say i guess i'm pretty pleased. Maybe this isn't a lost year. Or maybe we are the new redskins where offseasons are more exciting than seasons.

Um, I don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt. In a matter of context, i have no problem calling them the american taliban when they are ruining peoples lives for not doing anything illegal, but merely being someone else. And if this name marginalizes and ruins their goals, then whatever. Texas or amarello should put together some privacy laws.

The 2010 DH Slot -- What it is, what it isn't
You know, I knew it would happen when it became clear this is what we had, but I really do tire of trying to be convinced that putting a combination of really bad offensive players in our offense consistently would make us better.
