Got pneumonia? Take an aspirin.
Edited on Sat Oct-13-07 10:30 AM by Armstead
That, in a nutshell, is what I find most frustrating and depressing about the shape that the 08 presidential election, and the Democratic Party, seems to be going.

5. That's good advice, actually
because I'd see people every winter whose flu had gone into bronchitis or pneumonia and provided just the conditions for a heart attack.

Still, GOP healthcare doesn't even provide that much.

GOP healthcare: PRAY you don't get sick.
