Mythbusting Canadian Health Care
Mythbusting Canadian Health Care
2008 is shaping up to be the election year that we finally get to have the Great American Healthcare Debate again. And, as usual, Canada is again getting dragged into the fracas and, along the way, getting coated with the obfuscating dust of so many willful misconceptions that the actual facts about How Canada Does It are completely lost in the melee. picked by 2manyusernames 5 months ago

 Clinton Fails To Pay Health Insurance
Clinton Fails To Pay Health Insurance
Hillary has been pretty unsuccessful running her campaign and is deeply in debt ($8.7 million at the end of February. That may include the $5 million she loaned the campaign). Now records show that although she touts a universal health care program she has a hard time paying the bill for her employee's current health plan. picked by 2manyusernames 4 months ago

Make a call tommorrow to save America's Horses!
Mark your calendars for January 22, 2008, the National Call-In Day for Horses! The doors on the last remaining U.S.-based horse slaughter plants have been shuttered.

 In Canada, Milk Comes in Bags
In Canada, Milk Comes in Bags
This is a site dedicated to milk bags. Canadian milk bags to be more precise. (Dairy milk - not to be confused with breast milk which also come in bags.)

So don’t go thinking I’m a milk bag racist. picked by 2longdogs 4 months ago
