		<description>&lt;p&gt;good on you, sadlyyes.  and another vow, NOT ONE DIME of the tax return $ will go in any manner to an oil co.  that’s harder than you may think.  we will spend ours on ALTERNATIVE options for heat and light.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;TobyWollin: And Congress and the White House will still have their medical care for free. Nice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, neither the Idiot-in-Chief, his Mal-administration, nor Congress get their coverage for free. They pay their share of the premiums out of their paychecks for coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits program. Some can, and do, decline to participate in the program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Please stop spreading this inaccurate information around! No Federal employee gets free coverage, period.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Good snark.  Here’s one back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those little bits in &lt;em&gt;italics &lt;/em&gt;at the front of definitions in the &lt;em&gt;dictionary &lt;/em&gt;reveal the secret.  In the case of &lt;em&gt;subterfuge&lt;/em&gt;, both of its parts of from Latin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The “subter” part means secretly or beneath.  The “fugere” part means to flee.  It means dodge, trick, ruse, artifice, a deception done by implying one thing when saying another.  Otherwise known as Bushspeak.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;loosely related topic -&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;while McIgotmine was in Fl stumpin on Healthcare yesterday, there was a sit in of his DC office by 20+ disabled persons - wanting to meet with the Senator about bi-partisan bill that would amend the Social Security Act to allow people who are eligible for Medicaid coverage of nursing home costs to spend it instead on home-based, or community care.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;what caught my eye - “Mark Busey said he &lt;strong&gt;didn’t know&lt;/strong&gt; McCain’s position on the legislation but would ask.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Busey is his Chief of Staff&lt;/p&gt;
