In today's Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer takes great pains to paint a bleak picture of health care reform as "monstrous," "overregulated," and rife with "arbitrary bureaucratic inventions." The columnist's argument may be cogent and well-written, but it is wholly inaccurate.
Krauthammer describes a "better choice" for health reform as having three elements: tort reform, interstate purchasing and taxing employee benefits. All three elements are part of the current effort.
President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of HHS to move forward with an initiative to give states and health systems the opportunity to apply for medical liability demonstration projects. Section 2531 of the House bill also includes a voluntary state incentive grants program to encourage states to develop alternatives to traditional malpractice litigation. Section 9001 of the Senate bill does impose a fee on high-cost health care plans. (A PDF of the Senate bill is available here.) To clarify: This is a fee on insurance companies that offer high-cost plans that drive up the cost of health care for all Americans, not a tax on individuals. Section 1333 of the Senate bill allows for interstate health care choice compacts. Coupled with insurance market reforms to ensure individuals are not discriminated against, this policy will expand health care choices to millions of Americans.And while Mr. Krauthammer may try to label reform legislation as a package of programs linked only by "political expediency," the legislation actually is designed to take health care off the unsustainable path it is currently on by improving the health of all Americans and reducing costs for families, small businesses and the government. Some examples from the Senate bill:
An independent Medicare Commission that would develop and submit proposals to Congress aimed at shoring up the long-term financial health of Medicare, slowing Medicare cost growth that is hurting seniors and the budget, and improving the quality of care delivered to all Medicare beneficiaries. (Section 3403) A program to ensure that uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions can buy affordable health coverage. (Section 1101) New programs to expand the health care workforce so we can ensure there are more doctors and nurses in this country. (Sections 5102, 5201, 5202, 5203, 5204, 5205, 5206, 5207, 5309, 5310, 5311, 5312) New prevention and wellness programs such as tobacco cessation and programs to combat childhood obesity. (Sections 4001, 4002, 4003 and 4004, 4107, 4306)
The President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board released the following statement today:
Statement from PERAB Chairman Paul Volcker on Tax Task Force
The tax subcommittee of the PERAB was scheduled to release its report on December 4th. But we have received more than 500 submissions of serious tax reform ideas from the public both in person and on our website and we had to cut them off to meet the original deadline.
I want us to review as many suggestions as possible and to have sufficient time to fully consider the hundreds of suggestions that have come in already. I have asked the Administration to extend our deadline and to reopen the website for submissions so that we can hear the widest possible range of ideas.
We still have the same specific mandate: to discuss the pros and cons of a spectrum of reform ideas relating to tax simplification, enforcement of existing tax laws and reform the corporate tax system without considering policies that would raise taxes on families making less than $250,000.
The PERAB is not tasked with providing its own policy recommendations for the Administration and the final report will be an almanac of options from a broad range of viewpoints.
We will be reopening the web submission form and extending the deadline for any suggestions in keeping with our mandate (suggestions may also be submitted via email) and will be scheduling more public meetings over the coming weeks. We expect to report back to the Administration after the holidays.

ok, so I had my hysto, (abdominal full hysto with removal of ovaries and cervix another words all the plumbing), and I have a theory that without the female hormones produced by the plumbing, that it will be easier for me to lose pounds. my question is, is this an accurate assumption? or am I just wishful thinking? in just over 3 weeks I'm already down 15 pounds.....the only change is my portions are less because I'm eating slower out of fear of vomiting.
I just had a curious thought. I myself identify as female, but I have a question for the guys here. When taking T over an extended period of time (years or more), is male-pattern baldness a common occurrence? I was mostly just curious.

Reflections on a Thanksgiving.
Thought 1. I am very glad it doesn't occur to me to cook like this all the time. I mean, I love my Thanksgiving recipes and mercifully seem to forget all about them except for once a year.
Thought 2. Preparing the food is probably more fun than eating it. By the time the turkey is ready to go in the oven, I'm so grossed out by the thought of eating it that the cooking of the turkey is almost like an afterthought (I'm really all about the stuffing, actually. The turkey is the vessel). Something you have to go through with since you've come this far already.
Thought 3. I believe Thought 2 firmly until the crispy turkey skin smell starts invading the house. Then Thought 2 becomes downright silly, and what am I saying? Of course I'm going to eat what I cooked. The turkey skin is my favorite part. Stuffing has now become Second Favorite Food.
Thought 4. As I finish the Crack Potatoes, I'm very grateful that some important things do come to me in the form of dreams. This year, I dreamt of Egg Nog Bread Pudding, which upon being awake, I concocted with toasted bread, sliced apples, rum, grated nutmeg and cardamom, and lots of egg nog. I made homemade whipped cream. This pudding rivaled the Crack Potatoes in terms of sheer delicious mouthfuls of ecstacy.
Thought 5. The Godfather (Parts 1 and 2), when watched together in its entirety, can keep you fully engrossed and entertained not only during the preparation of Thanksgiving food, but while you're eating it. (First of all, it's about family. Second of all, it's not that gory. You can't watch Goodfellas while you're eating.)
Thought 6. I hate the Food Baby. Good thing my XL Bill's Towing t-shirt hides it. But I can't wear this t-shirt outside. I am trapped indoors until the Food Baby goes away.
Thought 7. I will never eat again. I'm going on a juice fast.
Thought 8. How on earth can I be hungry again?! Dammit.
Thought 9. Cold stuffing and turkey being picked off from the pan in little bits without utensils but dipping in warm leftover gravy is the ideal.
Thought 10. Now wearing the XL Lucky Shamrock (local bar) t-shirt. Very glad Thanksgiving comes only once a year.
A friend of mine is doing an "Ask the Expert" thread on trans* issues for a general interests message board here. He did one of these before and the response was very positive. This time, he's going to be having others contributing to the thread with their own experiences. The goal is for it to put more information out there and educate, as well as to offer support to one another.
However, the problem with this is that all of the people contributing are FtM and also very early in transition. A woman's perspective would be really helpful, as would a more experienced voice.
If anyone is interested in joining the discussion, the site is free to join. Also, you can post to the thread without registering there, though comments will be moderated.

I'm having a problem with my kitty. He is peeing everywhere but his litter box. This is a new behavior that started a few months ago.
I've had him checked for a UTI and it was negative. He has crystals and it being treated for it, as he has been treated for the last few years. I'm not positive why he won't use his box. I thought getting a new, bigger, box would help but he still won't use it to pee.
He's been going outside with my dog to pee also, but I've noticed he sprays some times too.
I'm at a loss as of what to do here since it's not a medical problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break this behavior? It would be nice to come home and not smell cat pee.
ETA: When I adopted Rex he was just old enough to be off mother's milk (sorry I don't remember how old that is. This is my first cat and I don't know very much about kittens). He is four years old. He's been neutered. He'll go #2 in the box. If you need more info just ask. :)

Hi everyone. I'm a sophomore at Marquette University. I've struggled with mental health issues my entire life, and yet, here I am without an official diagnosis. Self-injury, out of control emotions, and unstable relationships and self image describe the past few years of my life. Life is tough. I often try and measure my worth by my GPA. Because of this, school is VERY stressful for me and I am usually pretty consumed in it.
I want to become a therapist, and I hope I will be able to help people like us. But I suppose it's time now to first take care of myself. I'm searching for the strength to make that first move.

Spent yesterday at yatima's house slightly tuned out of reality. Moomin read comic books and the kids all colored dragons and sea monsters with my watercolor pencils. Dinner fabulous and I managed to eat a little of everything despite the return of stress-related stomach pain. As long as it is fairly small quantities I do okay. Moomin and C. and Zond-7 and I played "I doubt it" which is the card game where you cheat and lie a lot. Then I took MOomin to Squid's house where we met Rook and my sister & her family. Squid just nicely agreed to host us all and add us to her extended family dinner. Can never thank her enough for that. Mostly again Moomin read a lot of comic books but I think it was good for him that we were all there and must surely be reassuring on some level. I had a hard time being there, very stressful, but dealt with it & then left, handing off Moomin for the weekend. I continue wondering what on a practical level we will do. The main thing for me is that I need to make a plan about finding a place to live. My thought is to look hard for a place within walking distance of our house and Moomin's school if I possibly can, as cheap as possible . I don't feel afraid really that either of us will be jerks about custody, money, or things, and trust us both to take good care of Moomin and be supportive of him. I mostly worry about Rook having emotional support and how he will cope. Personally I'm doing okay but with a lot of sadness and some being freaked out. at worst, I feel like a ghost. And very guilty. It seems to me that making decisions quick about moving might be a bad idea and too fast moving, so I'm holding off there, kind of in a holding pattern.
I am reading a book called "The Good Divorce" by Constance Ahrons which my new therapist said was a bit old but extremely good. I'm finding it good and very useful.
My friend Grace wrote a fantastic post, by the way: A child abuse survivor's guide to the holidays. She lists specific strategies and techniques that people might find useful.
Don't really know what to do with myself this weekend. The physical/emotional stress of yesterday means I want some down time. I think bed, gentle stretching, maybe massage? blogging a little, reading this divorce book, reading Don Quixote in Spanish, maybe re-organizing and moving my old typepad blog to my own server to be archived in WP. If I perk up physically i'd like to go over the bridge and hang out with my sister. I should probably talk with my parents some more. I'm on a half-a-very-low-dose of Zoloft to cope with the overwhelming feelings of panic that I was having the last few weeks. It's helping and I think will be very temporary. It feels like a tiny bit of insulation between me and some core of feelings. Helpful for now but not very comfortable for the long run, like wearing mittens.

Y'know how it is when you're standing in your laundry room, because you just ran a load of wash, and you notice some kind of liquid on the floor running into the drain except it's not coming from the washing machine, and when you look closer it doesn't really look like water at all? Yeah? I hate when that happens! And while you're standing there wondering about it, you feel a drop of something on your head, and you look up and see a few milky-colored drops of something coming through the ceiling, and you have no idea what it is and it's not near any pipes or anything? I hate when that happens! And you note where the drops are coming through and you go upstairs to see what's in the kitchen right above there, and there aren't any appliances there, no sink, no fridge, nothing? But then you look at the Trader Joe's bag that's been sitting on the floor right there, which you brought home the other day and emptied all the perishables out of but left it sitting there with three sealed half-gallons of soymilk and two five-pound bags of flour because there hadn't been room in the cupboard for them? And then you remember when, earlier in the day (Thanksgiving Day, in fact), your naughty 2-year-old kitten was sort of biting at the bag but you didn't think anything of it because after all it's a pretty thick bag, and besides, it's not like it was pet food in there or something and she left after just a moment? And while you're remembering this you look more closely and see that the Trader Joe's bag is sitting in a huge lake of soymilk, and when you pick up the bag it's dripping really hard and the lake is even huger than you realized and it runs under the built-in-bookshelf that's right there? And you find the telltale kitty toothmarks in two out of three soymilk containers AND a bag of flour which is also sitting in a puddle of milk inside the bag, and when you eventually get the lake and the bag all cleaned up and pour what remains of the gallon of soymilk into a spare jug, you see that the kitty not only caused icky soymilk drops to seep through the floorboards and fall on your head down in the laundry room and soymilk to pool up under an immovable piece of furniture where it will probably begin to smell, but also two or three cups of soymilk to be wasted? And the kitty is now sleeping innocently in the other room?
Don't you hate when that happens??

I wonder if any of you remember Mihalo.... My bottle fed kitten. He's 4.5 months..and he's 7pounds and not overweight! The vet thinks he's going to be a 15-20pounds cat...what do you think?
also...a cat related question: How do you stop a cat from digging at carpet. There's a room we don't let them in. They're never allowed in. They kep digging at the carpet and are RUINING it. There's a HUGE chunk missing. My solution so far is I shoved a bathroom mat under the door, hoping to get them to tear it up instead. They have two cat trees...and a scratching post and use both...
( My kitties )
Also... We've just acquired a Terrier Mix. He was abandoned, obviously abused, and malnurished. We don't really let him and the cats interact. We have a 5-level split level house...and can easily keep the two separated without worry. I know better than to allow them together alone ( I don't even trust my Australian Shep. with my cats) but.. I was wondering if you have any tips on introducing them and teaching them how to interact without freaking out. I'm enrolling the dog in obedience so I can start on "LEAVE IT' training. To make it easier for him to understand the cats are to be "leave it" you know?
I don't want to re-home the dog, because he's been through enough....and we love him. He's a great dog.....I don't really trust people enough..that's why I've raised and kept three kittens.
but letting my terrier and cats interact...is like trusting my cats with my rats...
but any tips on cat and terrier living would be great. Thanks!

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I have been wondering for awhile now. Anyways, everything I read says most of the effects of hormone replacement therapy is irreversible. Like the deepening of the voice (for FtM), fat redistribution, etc. So why do you have to continue taking it? If the majority of the secondary characteristics (at least that is what it seems to be to me) are generally not reversed by stopping the hormone replacement then why do you need to continue? Just curious.

Dear Taski,
Thank you for always making me laugh with your sillyness. Thank you for keeping me warm when I'm cold. You always cuddle me when I'm down or lonely..or breathing, heehee. I'm truely grateful for all the things you do for me. But sweety, I want you to know. You don't HAVE to do any of these things. You make me so happy simply by existing. ^_^ Just looking at you brings a smile to my face. Hell, i just have to THINK about you and I get a warm feeling in my heart. So thank you, for loving me, and being in my life.
Dear Jonas,
You're a butt.
Ok, I love you too. Thank you for being a lil spazzy wierdo that isn't the brightest crayon in the box. You often send me into bouts of giggle fits, and thats good for the heart. You also have your way of making me feel loved. Thank you for being a lil sweety, albeit a nutty one, and for being part of my life. ^_^
I love you boys so much. Here's some Sheba for Thanxgiving.
With all my heart,

How can you be gone? You were just here. The molecules you parted are still crashing together in your wake causing other molecules to move and yet others. Your fingerprints still grace the houses you worked in, the co-op you shopped at, the public library, and Mother Fool's coffee house. I pass your house everyday going to work. You are everywhere and always missing.
At your memorial someone said "We have to respect Sydney's decision." That's right, I don't get a say. Is that why there wasn't an intervention? You gave your stuff away, you bought a gun, you re-registered your car in your daughter's name. Your death came as no surprise to you.
Gambling addicts want to correct the mistake of losing. That's why they keep gambling. Rescue scenarios and sweet words spoken too late can't correct the mistake of your death.
YOU BOUGHT A GUN!! YOU BOUGHT A GUN?? I thought you told me everything.

I just had an impromptu game of hide and seek with my cat. I couldn't find her anywhere! I looked in all her usual haunts and nadda. Then I tried the cupboard under the stairs which is jam packed with stuff and what did I just manage to spot?

<blockquote><p>As long as the ad is running – it is still AVAILABLE<br />
We’re in Burlington ky, make sure you want to come here before you ask for it. This rug was stored in a shed with a leaky roof. There are water stains all over the back or the rug, but they do not show on the front.</p></blockquote>
<p>You forgot to mention the mildew. A rug with water stains from a leaky-roofed shed in Kentucky is also mildewed. And moldy. It’s a law of nature. Nature’s kinda gross.</p>
<blockquote><p>But the rug still could use a nice scrub or cleaning to soften it back up and remove some of the “sticky feel” it has.</p></blockquote>
<p>Thank you for mentioning the “sticky feel.” It’s almost spurring me to drive to Burlington, KY.</p>
<blockquote><p>The top of the rug is a medium to dark shade of purple.</p></blockquote>
<p>. . . But it’s hard to be sure with the mold and staining.</p>
<blockquote><p>Measures 7 feet and 10 inches long and is 5 feet wide.</p></blockquote>
<p>Also hard to be sure, as the rug is alive. It expands and contracts depending on the weather that day, and its mood. It’s a mood rug. Its mood is usually bad.</p>
<blockquote><p>Let me know when you want to come and get it – Today is best, but could also do friday .</p></blockquote>
<p>Any later and it will take over the shed once and for all, barring the door and wheezing “get out” when we try to enter. </p>
<blockquote><p>Rug tends to look lighter color when in artificail light…but, I have it outside on the grass in the bright sunlight right now and it looks almost dark grey or black. This morning when i had it in the house with just the early morning sunlight for lighting it looked most like the last photo.

<p>It all depends on which mold cultures are winning at the time.</p>

<p>Right at this moment, anyhow. The mold battle rages on.</p>

For helping me with my concern about TribbleStripe.. :)
Here is a bonus picture of "Chase" (Fat cat Fat cat Fat cat)
He left when Tribble had kittens.. He met them once and Tribble turned on him and havent seen him back indoors since.. (He was an outdoor/indoor cat) He's still around but just wont come in the house anymore.. He has adopted Tribbles Outdoor Kitty Bed that she refused to use..
Anyways.. Thank You KittyPix!!! :)

Well she's not retarted.. I dont think.. I was discussing this last entry about TribbleStripe with mom and she gave me the word that describes her disability I was referring to.. TribbleStripe is "MEEK" I said she seems to get confused easily cuz I was having troubles coming up with the correct term to describe her personality.. And MOM NAILED IT.. Mom said.. "She's MEEK" Does anyone know what I mean by this??? Cuz its something that even mom picked up on... Its something that I mentioned an hour ago.. How do I comfort her?? Any tips?? I want to be a good daddy to her cuz of my own mental disability I suffer from... And I love all my cats SO MUCH!!! They live with me on my bed.. We dont have a whole house to share cuz all I have to offer them is my bedroom here underneath moms house.. (I am mentally disabled and live with my mommie.. But that dont keep me from having 4 of them... :) A guy can never have enuf pussy right?? (Sorry but I hadta say it.. Not trying to be rude..) 
Anyways.. This is TribbleStripe And she is "MEEK" Any tips in comforting her?? Raising her?? I know she's a FULL TIME INDOOR CAT.. And I wanna help her in her newly found journey.. How do I cure her and make her a little more "wild and playful" like her siblings?? She does not leave my side.. She is laying on my bed two feet away from me.. My other three cats are off somewhere else.. (Males.. go figger) Well except for Momma Tribble..
She stays up here on her "Perch" (Its an easy way to stay away from those "POOR starving little babies" that want to CONSTANTLY nurse on her.. (They are 8 weeks old now..) And I'm keeping one of them.. TribbleStripe of course!!! :) I found a good home for three of them.. Still have one left to give away.. His name is TribbleTiger.. Anyone want him??
I was saving him to send to my wife in California via Pet Airways that someone in here gave me the referral to..(Thank You) But she has old me that she cannot take on another cat so this little guy is still up for grabs!! His name is TribbleTiger and he's a lovable rowdy little guy!!! He is pictured here next to TribbleJamie (Who I gave away to my sister and then got him back.. cuz my sister "never wanted a cat" and I gave it to my neice for her birthday and then got him back..) He wont last long!!! I may keep him too!!! (TribbleTiger) Well I still got three of Tribbles 5 kittens.. LOL (remember I'm the guy who likes to keep as much pussy near him as I can..) Sorry again folks.. I'm rambling.. I got brain damage.. But uhm??
How do I comfort my meek little TribbleStripe??? Any tips???

An excerpt from the latest Bad Reporter:
[I'll return to blogging about my experience at the creationism seminar in a day or two. Right now I'm sick, so I don't feel like writing. I'm pretty sure I have whine flu. It's not as bad as swine flu. It's just bad enough to make me complain.]
Her name is Tribble Stripe.. She is the daughter??? Uhm??? Are cats considered daughters?? She's the female product of Tribble
You can see her here when she was a newborn and her umbilical cord was still attached in this photo..
Anyways.. My question is.. She seems a little "slow" As in.. Maybe retarted or.. ??? She doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind.. Sometimes it seems she gets confused and will hide??? She's perfectly friendly.. and loveable.. and plays with the other cats and eats well its just.. She seems to be a little slow compared to the other cats in the litter that I still have.. Is anyone here flamiliar with cats that are "mentally disabled" and maybe have some tips that I could use to make life easier on her??? I'm pretty worried about her and I WANT TO KEEP HER!!! Right now as I'm writing this she is asleep on my bed two feet away from me and she's "Twitching" Not like a human seisure.. she's.. ??? Her feet are.. O.. she just woke up.. But please.. Kittypix.. Can anyone give me tips on how to care for a mentally disabled cat?? I already understand that she is going to be a full time indoor cat... Anything to watch out for??? I dont have money to take her to a vet as I am mentally disabled myself.. Please... Tips??? Ideas??? Procedures?? Any help from people with expierence in this would be GREAT!!! Thank You!!!
