Uh, apparently you're new to this, the DUmmie FUnnies.
But anyway, while others here generally respect the privacy of DUmmies, the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson is a public figure, and so ostensibly can take all of the bricks tossed at him.
The felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson allegedly has pancreatic cancer, and since he is ungainfully unemployed, the Washington (state) Department of Social Services agreed to take care of it for him.
Then the DUmmies decided this was not "good enough;" the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson, like his mentor Bev Harris, had to have "the best," and so started this fund-raising so as to get him into Johns Hopkins in Maryland.
Now, I cannot speak for everybody, but it seems to me that most members of Free Republic, if diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and with no medical insurance, would grasp at any offers of social services assistance; after all, pancreatic cancer is serious business, and it is not the time to worry about 5-star restaurant menus in the hospital.
The plot "thickens" in that pancreatic cancer is fast-moving, and must be addressed immediately.....but the felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson has been playing around with this since January (coincidentally the same time he was fired by his mentor, Bev Harris, for stealing from her).
January was a very long time ago.
The felonious DUmmie Andy Stephenson, a public figure, deserves no credibility--after all, this was the guy who stole money to pay for personal long distance telephone calls, cigarettes, and underwear, on Bev Harris' hard-gotten dime.
The guy is a freeloader, nothing more.
But, I've been reading the FUnnies since 9/04. I was #100 on the ping list. :-)
I have yet to see any of these questions even raised.
