80 percent of the scooters and power wheelchairs Medicare buys go to people who don't need them, and my unscientific survey shows 85% of those recipients are republican.

They have to have their safe spaces, i.e., the whole country, to themselves, without anyone disagreeing with them.

Do GOPers have such shitty jobs that they can't get a day or two off work for an event whose date was etched in stone? They couldn't get that day off with more than two months' notice? They didn't have any vacation days left for the year at the beginning of the year?

Bullshit.

unfortunately I got sick this week and burned a few of the days.

You're dead on. Plenty of notice and timing - they should have been able to get two days off.

They had a policy (which was changed later) that you could carry over your vacation days pretty much forever. So when he finally retired they had to pay him a small fortune for his unused vacation days.
