What do you mean, precisely?

I have to be the one to sit there trying not to tell a woman on disability with a son in school why she will never see the subsidized apartment she has been waiting for TEN years to get (fording her to sleep in a tiny studio with her soon to be teenage son, which she has been doing for those last ten years) because the Feds just gutted funding to the program just when she was maybe 6 months away from finally getting it.

Her and the half dozen other people unable to find an affordable and liveable apartment in NYC given that free market rates are astronomical, and that they coulnd't not even afford to move elsewhere in the Country (where would they go? The Jersey suburbs?)

Its depressing, and why i will be leaving the job I have in a few months.

she shouldn't have had kids then with a disability.

why should I pay for this woman's apartment?

**** that

Oh, I love it when people speak out their ass- She had the kid when she worked- then was disabled. But of course you were utterly ignorant of the facts before you spoke..how typical.

as for why the public should pay- the public will pay even more to put her in a homeless shelter, or if you want to go back in time, a debtors prison.

Blair is next!

Anyone who compares Howard with Bush can't know much about the world

Having said that.....I think it's going to take some pretty amazing spin doctors to save Blair! 3rd time lucky?

we do give disability to people with disabilities you know. you live in the most liberal city in the U.S. yet that city still cannot pay her disability? Even my state has that.

Who needs luck with the Tories for an opponent?

No, it only takes a really sucky opposition. And the Tories rule at sucking.

The Dems are giving them a run for their money though, eh Spiff?

Indeed. Only a really terrible opposition could lose to a guy completely devoid of redeeming qualities such as Bush

[Drake Tungsten]

I don't disagree.

The English look more and more like the 'mericans every day, my guess; Blair wins 90% of the vote.

I woke up pissed. Righteously, furiously, gloriously pissed. I just can't understand what has happened to this country. Religious wedge issues have become more important than war and peace, poverty and prosperity. I just don't understand.

When I was on my gastroenterology rotation in August, I had a patient who I'll call Katherine. She was not quite two years old, and had been in the hospital for just over a year, awaiting a liver and small bowel transplant. She was the first patient that I really became attached to as an MD. She did not get her transplant in August. Or September. Or October.

When I came in the hospital this morning, I heard that she had been flown emergently to Pittsburgh, where they were performing a liver and small bowel transplant.

Life goes on. We will continue to fight and call out the admin on their crap and work and work and work to take back our country.

So **** the election, **** Bush, **** this whole goddamn thing.

I don't care. Katherine's got a chance now.

You left out slightly surprised. The real question is why were the exit polls so wrong?

Indeed. Only a really terrible opposition could lose to a guy completely devoid of redeeming qualities such as Bush.

Hey put the blame where it's due. It's not the Dems fault that the majority of Americans are ignorant, bigoted crypto-nazis.

And British conservatives come in different varieties than American ones. They have ignorant knuckle-dragging racists, and the urbane malefactors who are politely devoted to evil.

Americans have KDR's too, they just have obnoxious and Machiavellian satanists on the upper end.
