I only like one kind of pop tart and that is the brown sugar flavor. I ate one today as a matter of fact.

Brown sugar does sound good.  I know they'd beat the ones my wife bought one time at a dollar store.  Literally, our dogs wouldn't eat them.

One of the store brands here has more filling, and taste the same as Pop Tarts.

I think it is Family Dollar that has the good ones.

I just got a surprise check back from the State of Vermont, in the amount of a traffic fine I paid last year for speeding. Reason for the refund: Complaint dismissed. Complaint not filed on time.  :cheersmate:

First time since 1975 there won't be a COLA increase for SS. How about that CHANGE?

Take away the COLA and give them a parting gift. I am sure they'll all fall on their face in gratitude. /sarc

Wow!  Nothing good like that ever comes in the mail for me.  What a lucky day! 
king zero is trying to buy favor Chicagoland-style.  It won't work. 

What it DOES do is clearly demonstrate that every word the Democrats say about 'Controlling costs of Medicare/Obamacare/whatever' is an absolute and comlete lie, and any such bedgetary restraint is a 'Core Principle' they will stand behind to the death or until one nanosecond longer than the moment it crashes into the interests of one of their core constituencies, whichever comes first...and we all know which one is going to come first.

Wait till DingleBarry starts cutting Medicare. Then retirees will REALLY be pissed.


Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been appointed to two key positions: health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research.


 "Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely 'lipstick' cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change," he wrote last year (Health Affairs Feb. 27, 2008).

Savings, he writes, will require changing how doctors think about their patients: Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, "as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others" (Journal of the American Medical Association, June 18, 2008).

Emanuel, however, believes that "communitarianism" should guide decisions on who gets care. He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those "who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia" (Hastings Center Report, Nov.-Dec. '96).

I guess this means a lot of DUmmies will end up DOA, since Dr. E just said they will be SOL....   :rotf:

I saw a car today with both an Obama/Biden sticker and an autism awareness sticker. I wonder if that doofus driving that car realizes that the above warming the chair in regards to healthcare decisions likely includes their beloved autistics in the above. I can't read that any other way given the fact that I have son with autism myself who will likely not be a 'participating citizen' to the extensive nature of his disability. Nice going there doofus in the Caddy who voted this anti-life garbage into office.

We all see what's going on here right? Those who truly do need our care ie those with REAL disabilities like autism or who are elderly and no longer able to care for themselves will be left to rot and die while those perfectly capable of taking care of themselves will be covered for the best of the 'village'. This is such utter bullshit. The only people who should be cared for on a community level due to the extent of their infirmity or disability are exactly those who the Obamanation would seek to exclude. NICE!

It's my understanding that the COLA  is linked to the cost of living.  Since the cost of living has gone down this past year, there is no COLA.  If social security was linked completely to the cost of living, the new payments would actually go down, but the government is not allowed to reduce payments.

President Obama knows that many seniors are not very happy with him, and I think he is giving the $250 as a bribe.  But he doesn't realize that in this world $250 doesn't go too far.

Welcome to CC.

I think he knows very well that $250 doesn't go far, especially with MediCare premiums being increased. Its a one time bribe that is supposed to buy enough time to get the Rationing Billl passed do we can let oldsters die instead of trying to keep them alive a few more months or years. I am certain the oldsters, most of them, aren't that dumb.

You're lucky.  We didn't have no modern-fangled toasters when I was a kid.  We had to cook our PopTarts by holding it next to a glowing piece of charred wood.

Sounds like me trying to get my $440 back from CA a couple of years ago.  Took me SEVEN MONTHS to get it back.
