The Winners Get To Write The Captions:

Very timely 'toon from Facebook:

I had an MRI today...

Since I became eligible for Medicare, I've used it a lot. It's been great.

But I have to say I'm worried, since I'm hearing that every year, Medicare pays the doctors who accept Medicare patients less and less...

Some doctors have even opted out of accepting Medicare patients.

What's going to happen to these patients?

I'm so glad it's there for me...I want it to continue, and to be there for everyone...

Great Toon from today's LA Times: Obama and Boehner.......

The War on Women:

Hilarious photo of Romney/Ryan just seen on Facebook!

We need to tell Obama what to do about the Republicans' intransigence:

Make your voice heard!

Hope is greater than fear...

I believe that this is the primary, essential message for this pivotal election. We won because people want to believe in hope, and because they are tired of being driven by the fear-mongering of the political right.

They have been repudiated and relegated to the trash bin of history. The Republican party has driven itself into a corner and they are now marginalized, all by their own hand.

We are the future. We truly care about all our people; we want everyone to achieve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our optimism and our hopes for the future drive us...

I feel a great optimism today. I realize of course that many problems still confront us, but with the good legislators and Obama at the helm, we should make great strides in resolving them...

We stand on the cusp of a new day.


So, as I achieve 100,000 posts, I rejoice in our world, in DU, in all of you. Thank you, all of you, for teaching me, for caring about me, for standing by me as my life goes forward. To our new day!

Everywhere I look, I see Republicans being dirty.

They don't seem to know how to get behind positive messages.

The tainted medication that caused so many people to get sick or even die from fungal meningitis...

The anti-Asian message against Betty Sutton in Ohio...

Lying about sending Jeep's jobs to China when it is so obviously wrong...

I could go on, but I think you get my drift.




Don't they know how to be anything else?
