Damn, I take a lot of pills!

I've picked up a lot scripts over the years for various chronic conditons, and added Vitamin D, Fish oil, calcium etc. I look like a hypochondriac, but I'm feeling a lot better! I notice if I forget one pill or another. Thank heavens for super size pill of the day boxes, though!

You've heard of Rafalca, but can you identify Macaroni?

Did the ghost of Seamus return and eat the tax returns?

Perhaps that's the real reason Romney hasn't released them!

Is there a huge story out there being missed by the media:

My Dad is hooked on the weather channel. He recalls a few years back when Chicago had a heat wave, and bodies ended up stacked in the morgue. Where are the stories of people dying from this summer's heat? Is it a case of one death here, two deaths there of elderly people or persons with a chronic illness? That seems to be more likely than that every municipality suddenly set up cooling centers.

As I write this, it occurs to me that within the next few weeks we'll be seeing at least one story of a kid dying after football practice. That seems to have become a routine story the last few summers.

hello, my name is Hedgehog, and I suffer from snatch defeat from the jaws of victory syndrome.

I've seen Democratic candidates beaten or been cheated of election victory by the likes of Nixon, Reagen, Bush1 & Bush 2.

I'm still pinching myself to make sure Obama won in 2008.

Can my country hit the jack pot twice in a row?

Is today the day California Peggy faces surgery for her gall bladder?

Any photos of business at Chik-fil-a today?

How much government money have the Birthers spent?

Will Mitt change people's view of the wealthy?

I think the American myth is that the wealthy earned their money by being smarter than the rest us, working harder, taking more risks. Since Mitt failed on all three, will people begin to realize that often it's as much a crap shoot as winning the lottery? (to mix a metaphor!)

"Maine voices: Catholic group's anti-gay marriage effort contradicts its history

"NORTH WATERBORO - The Venerable Father Michael McGivney was a parish priest in New Haven, Conn., at the end of the 19th century.

He watched as his congregation struggled through the pain of anti-Catholic discrimination. His congregants toiled under poor working conditions in sweatshops, in which many were injured or killed. At the time, insurance companies would not cover Catholic immigrants, leaving many Catholic widows and orphans penniless and dependent on the charity of the church.

Father McGivney created the Knights of Columbus as a fraternal organization to alleviate the suffering this discrimination caused and to create a life insurance program to protect the economic stability and security of these families.

From 2008 to 2010, the Knights of Columbus has donated more than $3 million to weaken the stability and security of gay and lesbian families by funding campaigns to deny same-sex couples the freedom to marry. I urge the Knights of Columbus to remember its history and its pro-family principles and to stop funding campaigns that write discrimination into the laws of Maine and other states."
