What do you suppose that $99mil to AARP was all about?  Maybe that's just
how they pay off the AARP's Big Cigars for towing the line somewhere else,
like healthcare.  (Speaking of healthcare, I was doing just that last night
when I stopped at Publix after work.  My favorite cashier, who has a full
time day job, was telling my how they are paying a fortune for health
insurance for his dad, who is a 23 yr veteran of the Navy. He has cancer and
doesn't want to go to Veteran's hospitals.  Apparently got the insurance
when he could no longer go to Navy hospital's. Not sure when US changed that
deal.  The family has Champus(?) which he said pays about 25% of costs.
Man, the pols must be hiding the tons of mail they must get on this issue in
caves in Afganistan.  The healthcare financing system is crumbling for many
more kinds of people than back in '92.)

Also, what do you New Yorkers think of the Hudson river thingy.  They seem
to have a point about the legality but I haven't read any background.  Could
they muck up the river trying to clean it up?
