I'm Back; Sort Of

To my many, many readers I'm back for today. My fingers are on fire to fill you in on a variety of potpourri items. Unfortunately, I'm using the wife's computer to get rid of unread e-mails. She's afraid I'll get chocolate on her keyboard so I have limited time available.
My weenie Netbook computer decided it wanted to die on me so I had to send it to California for a fixer upper job. I expect it'll be workable in a week.
Health care is the subject of the day, week, year, decade, century. The hilarity of it all is since the party of the dumb hasn't read the bill all kinds of items missing are now on display, i.e. children who were supposed to be immediately enrolled without a pre-existing condition, well, someone forgot to put it in. John Deere's Iowa operation said that it's yearly taxes will increase $100 million. Poor ol' Çaterpillar's will go to $150 million. Hello taxes, good-bye jobs. Tanning bed companies will be taxed an extra 10% come June. And the best one is; Viagra, under the health care plan, will be available to sex offenders and rapists. It'll be made available to me but at my age I'd rather have a nice cigar.
