Good news: an AP reporter finally notices the bad parts of the IHS...
bad news: it isn't in the NYTimes, but on a site called "Reznews"...and on the Rez, they already know that Government health care has problems.

CSI Story of the day

----------------------

Epilog notes all those "BAD FATs" turn out to be not so bad...or maybe not...

Things that make you go, hmmm…
