#3 IRONY!

OK...so this Friday I've helped to organize a cotigent from Northy Bay CA to attend the upcoming and large rally at Justin Herman Plaza in SF. WE WILL KICK ASS. Originally we were supposed to be outside Herr Pelosi's office but the whole thang has gotten too big. AWESOME.

The next day, my ex is helping to cater a gala affair for Queen Stretch Face...in Marin I believe. Gag. I'm hoping that the Raw Pork Swirl Sorbet is tops on the list. It would be if I were Chef.

#5 "Bull Moose" plan not exactly what they're saying it was.

Theodore Roosevelt believed that "a country could be strong only if its people were healthy." No real disagreement there.

Progressive Party 1912 platform was The protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregular employment and old age through the adoption of a system of social insurance adapted to American use. The proposed health service was to be local, not centralized, with employers contributing one third of the cost and workers contributing two-thirds. It would be mandatory, but controlled by the market, not a bureaucracy.

FYI - The the typical employee plan now is 80/20 with the employer paying the larger share.
