Oh yes..you are your father's daughter. She may be eloquent in her speaking, but her facts and excuses are lame at best. Amazing how the Cheney's seem to define the word "torture" to mean a breakfast of crumpets and tea. The concept and reality just doesn't hit home with these fukktards. All in all, I think Nora held her own, and Liz Cheney came out looking like the sycophant that she is.

I managed to get my major chore of the day accomplished. Now just a few odds and ends to stash away. Being proud of my accomplishment was short lived. When I got the mail, one of my credit card statements said I missed my April payment. I have never missed a payment, as I schedule the payments online and there has never been a problem - ever. When I went to check the site - down for maintenance. Now I'm pissed.
My goal this tax season was to either pay off the medical bills or credit cards. I didn't even come close. I have about $500 in medical bills to pay, plus there is one bill for the ER for $1350 which the insurance company has DENIED. Because I wasn't admitted that first visit (although the Dr. said I was to be admitted and changed his mind), they are refusing payment. It doesn't matter that his incompetence secured my admission to the hospital the next day - OH NO!! Bastards. Hell, I don't care - I'm not going to pay it anyway. Send it to collections, at this point I don't give a damn.
My meager pension does not go very far at all - then to have medical bills compound the problem, really makes me mad. That is why I don't go to the doctor. I am one of those who fell through the cracks. I have 80% major medical and that is all. No eye, dental, doctor or prescriptions. Doesn't that just suck balls.
I apologize for ranting - I have been fuming for a couple of hours now and venting here helps a wee tad. I will throw something at the wall in a little while.
The weather started an upward climb today - we got to 60* - woohoo! Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 70's I believe.
Oh well, thegrandson is blowing bubbles in the bathtub, so I better get him out before he prunes up too badly. Have a great evening and I shall return....later............

When I got my Social Security disability they put me on Medicare, now when I get a bill from anyone but my cardiologist I write back and tell them to be happy with what Medicare paid them because I ain't going to pay them anything else.
Everyone in aWol's regime is scrambling trying to cover their ass. In this case trying to cover her father's ass and doing a piss poor job of it. It's not torture, if you don't believe that just ask us, we'll tell you it's not torture. We need more in the media to holler "Bullshit" when they heard it.
I didn't think Norah did all that good a job myself.. but then I don't care that much for Norah .. she is too much a Palin fan for me. I thought after when Lawrence came on was much better.. He really put it in perspective and told Norah exactly how it was.
The basic thing is if they took a beloved family member and did these questioning techniques to them would you call it torture? Ummm... yes. The point is not that we are no worse than AlQueda, but that we should be better than them. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard if we are to inspire change in the world. If we start accepting that it's OK to sink to a terrorist level of right and wrong we have already lost the war.
It drives me crazy that people who work hard and play by the rules have to worry about ridiculously high medical bills. I've always heard that if you talk to the hospital before hand about your situation, they'll plan for a write off. I don't know that I believe that.
However, in the case of emergencies, that's a bit hard to do, no?
