Is too.
(I love that skit)
Of COURSE you do!
Isn’t there a zero tolerance policy about bringing intellectual processes to class?
what Hobbes and SD said...
After all, If I am going to argue with you, I have to take a contrary position!
I probably toldja this, but my 8 year old, knows the whole Witch skit, from Holy Grail.
And I wonder why he has problems in Science class. ;-)
Don’t you just hate it when people overuse **eristics** & other punctuation??!!!
The best part of that skit is watching Cleese’s expressions.
No it isn’t
And, no it osn’t
Awesome
No it isn’t.
Before the site was launched, the president said it would make signing up for health care as easy as making a plane reservation. When, after a few rocky days that turned out to be too rosy, the administration dropped the airline analogy. Now the experience more closely approximates the saga of having your flight delayed. First, the airline tells you it will be a half hour, then it stretches it to an hour, then two, then you’re offered a voucher for a drink. After four hours, it dawns on you that the plane is never taking off. They continue to assure you it will—just before they cancel your flight.
I’m so sorry to hear that-I take it there is no way to cure her problem? I hope at least it can be made better in the short term-she is such a young dog yet-you will let us know how she is doing, please?
I’ve tested, and built and rolled out tons of software.
Here’s the thing.
Every state has online enrollment for Medicaid, and social service networks at the state level, generally are tied into all other state services (like Unemployment...etc)
So, really all we are talking about is a common access front end, because the flat file on the backend, is clearly already formatted.
This should have been an extension of the Medicaid software.
This is more disgusting than most people realize.
The eristic nature of Obamacare
Is partly the way it’s written-
It demands you buy anti-venom for
A stranger before they are bitten
And even though your chances
Of tripping on a venomous snake
Are astronomical at the best
You’ll pay from what you make
For the snakebites, drug rehab,
The abortion and/or the birth
Of more ‘rat plantation workers
To wander aimless over the earth
Remember they also have to tie in to the IRS and other agencies. But yes, it is always easier to start with something that is working and build from there.
