    Grover's whole life turns out differently if his father had just called his stolen bites "interceptions".

    "When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!’ and took an extra hit.”


    New biography details Obama's pot-smoking 'interceptions'

    I was...incredibly disappointed the more I read about this story today.

    Presumably he means that the child's parents could have negotiated with insurance companies before the child was born to purchase coverage that would have covered them without lifetime caps or any other shenanigans. That's the point of insurance: you buy it to protect you from unlikely but extreme events.

    Putting health care in the hands of economic decisions is obscene, but they aren't blaming children for getting sick.

    I am no expert and have not looked it up. But I have read the biggest disappointment is that more healthy people have not signed up. In Massachusetts participation was higher than it has been in the rest of the nation. While Obamacare is expensive there are subsidies that cover most of the population.

    You are clueless about this entire issue and seemingly have no desire to learn anything about it. Also, please stop conflating Israel with Bibi Netanyahu. Definitely not interchangeable.

    Occasionally, I log on, scan a thread and find a post like this. It's not the first time you have done it. Do you feel emboldened because I have ignored it in the past? I have never insulted you on here -- as easy a target as you would be if I wanted to let loose. To the extent I even notice you, it's only been to respond directly to something you posted. ... and that isn't very often. ... either way, it's never been about you personally, and it has never been a cheap shot like that. WTF?

    For what it is worth, if I was going to be an asshole like that, at least I'd have the guts to do it directly in response to you, rather than burying it for no reason on a thread where you might not see it.

    Bill introduced in House to allow airlines to not include cost of taxes when advertising and listing prices. That'd be super popular.

    Grover Norquist believes the sticker shock will turn airline passengers into Republicans.

    Poking fun at board reputations is a tradition around here. Reacting like this doesn't exactly disprove the joke.
