No. No. Bwah, ha, ha! Non-Iraqi life for sure. Ha! No, get this, it&#8217;s the day before the 30th Anniversary of Roe v Wade! Whatta great joke!!! Mr. Fry-em-high-in-Texas is all for the Sanctity of Human Life! It&#8217;s a new holiday from the genius behind Jesus Day! Ah, ha, ha!<\/p>\n<p>No, no, health care is too expensive, right? ::Giggle:: Why? ::Snicker:: Because of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/ALLPOLITICS\/01\/16\/bush.malpractice.ap\/index.html\">the amount that injured patients can win from their doctors<\/a> in malpractice cases. Democrats charge that the changes would deprive patients of fair compensation, but Ari Fleischer, get this, says, &#8220;At a time when moms have to change doctors to deliver their babies, that type of division is not helpful.&#8221; Huh?

Especially <a href=\"http:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/keeney0713.html\">Karl Rove<\/a>. Oh, that&#8217;s not a joke. Damn. I&#8217;m done laughing. The biggest joke of the lot is that everyone says Cheney is president, but it&#8217;s all Rove. Try this little experiment: Do a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?hl=en&#038;ie=ISO-8859-1&amp;q=karl+rove\">Google search of Karl Rove<\/a> and see how many times his grubby fingerprints are spotted on the Bushie agenda. Too bad we didn&#8217;t actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.counterpunch.org\/keeney0713.html\">elect<\/a> him.
