Putting Sick People To Work. Yeah, That's A F---ing Great Idea!
The Trump administration took a major step Thursday to let states establish the first-ever work requirements for Medicaid recipients.
The policy guidance is the most concrete development yet toward achieving goal of tying Medicaid benefits to employment — a long-time conservative goal that has never been permitted since the health care entitlement program for the poor was created 52 years ago.

Good news and bad news.

Bad news first. No edition today, there will be a new edition tomorrow.

Today I am wearing a chef's hat not my normal cowgirl hat. It is my good friend's birthday and he asked me to make him two of my special lasagnas for his fiesta. Why, of course, I said yes!  One is traditional Italian and the other is Chicken/Asparagus. I have been cooking non-stop since 5 this morning.  I am waiting for them to cool and for my ride to deliver me and the lovelies.

I wish y'all were here!

The Good News. The release of the Fusion congressional transcripts has opened a huge can of worms that will soon engulf Team Trump. It's no wonder Trump is trying to distract us with meetings and bragging about his imaginary overblown accomplishments.

From what I have read of the transcripts, the FBI may need to do some serious splainin', including Comey.

See you tomorrow!

Peace.

Will A Flu Shot Help?
Medical experts in the United States are worried that this year's flu season could be a nasty one that may be lethal. That's because this year's main flu strain, the influenza A virus, known as H3N2, is worse than the swine flu in 2009. To put it in perspective, back when the swine flu was making headlines it infected just 51,000 people in Australia. This year's H3N2 sickened over 215,000 and the illness has hit our shores.

Subject: It's OK when Republicans Do It

Back in the days when we could actually have spirited arguments with our token Republican friends, during the relentless hunting of the Clintons and Obama Derangement Syndrome, I used to say, "Turn it around.  If Al Gore shot someone in the face, if Democrats outed a CIA agent, ruined her career, and possibly got people killed, which we will ever know, if the Carters or the Clintons, or the Obamas paraded a pregnant,  unmarried seventeen year old girl across the national stage, Republicans would be screaming with their hair on fire!  When Republicans do these things, it's OK.  It was OK for Newt Gingrich, serial marrier and serial philanderer, to come down harshly on Bill Clinton.  They all seem to be irony- impaired and obliviously immune to hypocrisy.
Dee

Thank you for writing. The GOP is proudly the party of personal destruction!
