The loss is more profound than some realize... ;-)

Our first computer was an Apple IIe. Wow, that seems like an eternity ago.

You forgot "PROACTIVE CARE" as opposed to reactive care - get checkups and treatment prior to (and in place of) an expensive emergency room visit, ambulance call, late-administered treatment...

Right now insurance companies are dictating whether or not you are covered, and how much, if you have existing conditions, the cost of your premium, which doctors are preferred providers, etc. Apparently GGK just wants to replace the evil insurance companies with a Big Brother who makes similar decisions - contingent care, unequal benefits based on your weight or lifestyle choices, etc. You would think "single-payer" and "universal" health care would be pretty clear terms, but I guess if you smoke crack and worship Satan, well, such concepts are out of grasp.

Your past presidential predictions have sucked balls. Poor Prole - can only take everything literally - and "seriously".

He's smart enough to see that Barry is gonna get reelected.

http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/reports/statbriefs/sb108.jsp 5.3% inpatients without insurance to be compared with 15.4% (in 2008) of the US population without insurance (and much more inadequately insured). Some uninsured are healthy people, but many uninsured have chronic conditions due to lack of treatment until an emergency demands a trip to the ER. Also note that the report points out that society pays for the uninsured through increased health care costs despite some here pretending that hospitals somehow eat the cost without passing it on to the public and/or their customers. You got it all figured out, Cliff! Too bad you are pissing in the wind!

What was "degrading" about it? Your uncanny resemblance to Cliff? - albeit he is more likable than you.

Yes, this is a tasty drink, but you are going to have to buy 2 bottles of rather obscure liqueurs to make it.

You are a humorless fuckwit.

That may be true, but do you have a wife or girlfriend? This was supposed to be the girlie martini thread, not the selfish man thread. Though you're right, one would never guess that amidst all the dickwaving going on. Changing the title. Learn to make a good cosmopolitan and a mojito.

Thanks, Cliff!

True dat. +1

Bombay Sapphire is the standard go-to. Occasionally I'll get Hendrick's, which is slightly better, but not enough (usually) to justify the price difference. Plymouth is tasty too.

I'm not sure why you're so negative about the webcam, Loren. It's a useful tool, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Look at how it was installed, my guess is that it won't last the winter. there were some great views showing on it yesterday...

Close. I go with 5:1 gin:vermouth. As for the olive, rinse the brine off of it briefly first and dry it off, so your martini is not ruined (i.e. dirty)

funny, my wife's a screaming liberal and currently home-schooling our kids, maybe we can balance out them damn iowans? Legal weed'll help. soma

Try reading the article next time, dumbass. IF YOU ARE NOT ANGRY, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

Yes, but did he assinate any?

Ha! If only it were so simple. Listen Bill, capitalism has failed, democracy has failed. It is time for drastic measures. Prole has a plan.

Prole wants to kill all the sharks, or at least put them all into a reeducation aquarium.
