1. WELL WELL WELL yesterday was Veterans Day and today it's Let's Stick It To The Veterans. PLEASE READ THIS AND PLEASE SHARE WITH MILITARY RETIREES. If we don't live within 40 miles of a military hospital we just got screwed. So honey, shall we move back to MS? Jeff and I are 2 of the 171,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for nothing.

171,000 Retirees Likely To Lose Tricare Prime

Sometimes, I just fucking *hate* them and I want to plaster a banner that says, "GET OVER IT" with a pic of Obama flipping them off. UGH!!! UGH!!! UGH!!!! And notice how it's nothing specific. It's all "officials who are anonymous are speculating that eventually..." blah blah blah

'scuse me while I bang my head against the wall for an hour. Or three.

1. I just noticed the tweeting. Wow.

As I read the piece, *THIS* little nugget stands out:

The end of Prime outside of 40-mile "catchment" areas of military treatment facilities has been anticipated since 2007, when Defense officials drafted the third generation of TRICARE support contracts.


Um..WHO WAS PRESIDENT IN 2007?

"The end of Prime outside of 40-mile "catchment" areas of military treatment facilities has been anticipated since 2007, when Defense officials drafted the third generation of TRICARE support contracts."

I wonder who was president in 2007...
