Putin to school teachers: It's your job to make children proud of the motherland. Which translates to, Stalin wasn't really a bad sort of fellow. *sigh* The more things change, eh?

Medicare will no longer cover hospital errors and preventable problems Cause once again, all we care about are getting babies born. Not keeping you healthy and alive.

FREEZING....

Omg...sooo cold. I was actually okay at work today since I wore a sweater anyways, but my apartment is damp and cold...and I refuse to turn heat on in August (especially when it's only 68 outside and should be more than that inside even if it doesn't feel like it).

August, NJ, AUGUST. You have permission to pull this crap in two weeks when it's Sept, but this is AUGUST.

Yes, I'm doing my normal bitter letting go of summer.

Now, I think I'll exercise a little bit because I think the past two weeks have shown: I don't have the willpower to work out in the mornings when I have to be at work before 11am and maybe, just maybe, if I start working out my toes and fingers will stop feeling like ice (because I refuse to admit that this may in fact be Raynaud's worsening.)

*waves* Time for a break of a sorts...

Well, this is odd, but I figure I should just in case there are actually lurkers (especially since I've found out recently that a lot more of my flist actually reads my random news linkages than I thought) out there.

I'm officially taking a break from the news linking (Since I rarely do commentary, I don't really call it blogging persay) for the near future (err, actually till shortly after September 5 when I defend my thesis). Unless, of course, I run across something that so gets my dander up that I HAVE to share.

That said, let's not forget that Bush and company don't discriminate about whose health they don't care about: Bush admin adopts new standards "that would make it much more difficult for New York, California andothers to extend coverage to children in middle-income families.". Because really kids, once the fetus exits the body, we DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU. Every man/woman/child for theirselves. Got that? Good. Now go take yourself to some country with child labor so that you actually contribute to society (unless you're parents are CEO or inherited wealth that is.)
