K-9 Returns!
If you are not a fan of Doctor Who you have no idea what this means. If you are a fan, especially of the Tom Baker years, the return of K-9 [with Sarah Jane, BTW] is a matter of great nostalgia.

Supporting the Troops
Hillary Clinton and Lindsay Graham are once again trying to get health care for the Guard and Reserve through Tri-Care, the military system.
The Pentagon is complaining that Tri-Care is already eating up the military budget with its coverage for regular and retired members of the military.
[sarcasm] Yes, it is really inconsiderate of those people who get sent to die all over the world to expect health care for themselves and their families when the money is needed to cover the loss of taxes on the estates of multimillionaires. I mean what’s more important: the health of the families of people getting shot up in Iraq, or a new diamond collar for Paris Hilton’s dog?[/sarcasm]
Excuse me, but when some are asked to give up their lives, why shouldn’t others be asked to give up some money?
