We are currently watching Balls of Fury it is funnier then I thought it would be. Christopher Walken is a riot and creepy as ever…..got to love him. It may be one to get on DVD…..lol
I got quite a bit of work done today, so I’m happy about that. It will be a big help for tomorrow. I didn’t get much packing started at all. I really need to pick up some bubble wrap for my china and knick-knacks. I hope to be able to get at least the china cabinet done tomorrow. Once I get all our breakables done, I’ll feel as if I’ve made some progress. Then I can move on to the bathrooms and my part of the office.
Does Bush proposal threaten access to the pill?
A Bush administration proposal aimed at protecting health-care workers who object to abortion, and to birth-control methods they consider tantamount to abortion, has escalated a bitter debate over the balance between religious freedom and patients’ rights.
The Department of Health and Human Services is reviewing a draft regulation that would deny federal funding to any hospital, clinic, health plan or other entity that does not accommodate employees who want to opt out of participating in care that runs counter to their personal convictions, including providing birth-control pills, IUDs and the Plan B emergency contraceptive.
**You have no idea how much this really, really, really pisses me off.
Legislators aim to snuff out penalties for pot use
(CNN) — The U.S. should stop arresting responsible marijuana users, Rep. Barney Frank said Wednesday, announcing a proposal to end federal penalties for Americans carrying fewer than 100 grams, almost a quarter-pound, of the substance.
Current laws targeting marijuana users place undue burdens on law enforcement resources, punish ill Americans whose doctors have prescribed the substance and unfairly affect African-Americans, said Frank, flanked by legislators and representatives from advocacy groups.
“The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government’s business,” Frank said on Capitol Hill. “I don’t think it is the government’s business to tell you how to spend your leisure time.”
The Massachusetts Democrat and his supporters emphasized that only the use — and not the abuse — of marijuana would be decriminalized if the resolution resulted in legislation.
 **Do you know how much money this country would make in taxes? And then allow law enforcement to focus on more important things, like violent crime? What a concept. Legalized alcohol has killed more people then pot, legalized alcohol has contributed to more domestic violence then pot has.
