DAMN that Brokeback Mountain

It's corrupting our youth and sapping our our precious vital fluids

And in other news, I know that many of you readers wish I would stick to discussions of Furniture and China (with the occassional foray into The Bible as Literature) but President Dimbulb is at it again. His idea for "reform" of health care (The pay for your own damn doctor act) proposes that we have "Medical Savings Accounts" in lieu of employer-provided group health insurance. In a nation where wages are stagnating, where the national savings rate is in the negative factor, that's not a good idea.

I know what I'm talking about for once: The doctor bills from my dad's demise are still trickling in. The week he spent in the hospital before dying cost about $50,000 so far. Luckily, he had a great pension plan that included health care AND there was medicare to pay the basics. Others are not so blessed, and if the Shrub and his GOPers have their way, the number of unblessed will grow. I don't know about you, but the idea of saving up so that I can pay for my death is a pretty grim one.

These bozos have got to go. Come November, vote Democrat, so we can take back the house. That's where impeachment starts.

OK, enough of my politics. You want china and furnishings? Stay tuned. The next big thing is shadow boxes.
