Here are headlines that jumped out at me as I logged on at igoogle the past two days:
“Death Toll Rises in Kenya Mall Attack.”
“Suicide Bomb Attack Kills 78 at Pakistan Church.”
“Suicide Bombers Kill at Least 72 at Baghdad Funeral.”
I wonder if there’s a common thread.
Republicans are making a huge mistake in tying the raising of the debt ceiling to a de-funding of Obamacare. In an op-ed piece in yesterday’s NY Post, Linda Chavez suggested letting the apparent abomination go into effect and waiting for the public outcry to demand repeal. Of course, there’s that old saying: “Nothing lives forever except a government program.” Maybe the Affordable Health Care Act will be the first to be killed. And if by some miracle it does much less damage than expected or actually does some good, little will have been lost and recovery will ensue, as it did from the burdens of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. It’d be nice if all the exemptions, especially that of Congress, were eliminated so that everyone shares the pain, but fairness is not to be expected from politicians. They will cater to those who keep them in office.
Holy cow - the NY Giants may be the worst team in the NFL, at least right now. Maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars are worse, but is that any consolation? Ouch.
I've reached a milestone in sales of my own works - 700, counting Kindles. My goal is 1000. If I ever reach that, I'll try for 2000. My thanks to George, who bought Killing, and to the ladies who purchased paperback thrillers. The way the Giants are going, they may give up 700 points this season.
