Palin’s Police Force Charged Women for “Rape Kits”
Under Mayor Palin, Wasilla police department was charging women between $500.00 -$1200.00 for “rape kits” used to collect evidence. What the fuck? They didn’t charge burglarized folks for “fingerprinting kits”!
McCain not a Real Maverick Afterall
“It’s just incredible — the nerve! — to suggest that he’s not part of that Republican herd. Every time we hear it, all my children and I and all my family shrink a little and say, ‘Oh, my God, he said it again.’ ”

Clinton Releases Tax Returns! Proof Of Her Extraordinary Strength of Character!
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/04/clinton-releases-tax-returns/
(CNN) — Hillary Clinton released her tax returns for the years 2000 to 2006 late Friday afternoon, ending weeks of speculation over her delay in making them public.
“The Clintons have now made public thirty years of tax returns, a record matched by few people in public service,” spokesman Jay Carson said in a statement. “None of Hillary Clinton’s presidential opponents have revealed anything close to this amount of personal financial information.”
The campaign said the records showed Bill and Hillary Clinton had paid more than $33.7 million in federal taxes on a joint income of $109 million and donated $10.2 million to charities over the past eight years.
The New York senator had initially said that she would not release them unless she was the Democratic nominee. But at a debate shortly before the March 4 primaries, she said she would consider releasing them “even earlier,” though she did not name a precise date.
“I will certainly work toward releasing them, and we will get that done and in the public domain,” said Clinton.
Later, she pledged to release the documents by this year’s April 15 tax filing deadline. But ten days ago, following Obama’s decision to release his tax returns of this decade, and attacks from his campaign over Clinton’s delay in making her own public, she announced that she would release the returns within the week.
The Obama campaign’s criticism centered on Clinton’s decision to lend her campaign $5 million earlier this year, along with former President Bill Clinton’s $20 million payout from supermarket holding company Yucaipa.
In conference calls with reporters, Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson accused the Obama campaign of unfounded negative attacks over the delay, noting that there were “20 years of Clinton tax returns in the public record.”
The tax returns are the second of three batches of documents Clinton has come under pressure to release. Her scheduling records that date to her time as First Lady were released late last month. The list of major donors to the Clinton Presidential Library has yet to be released.

Walmart drops Lawsuit! That’s good News!
Wal-Mart Drops
Lawsuit
Over Health-Care Reimbursement
April 1, 2008 6:46 p.m.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is dropping a controversial effort to collect over $400,000 in health-care reimbursement from a former employee who is confined to a southeast Missouri nursing home since she suffered brain damage in a traffic accident.
The world’s largest retailer said Tuesday in a letter to the family of Deborah Shank it will not seek to collect money the Shanks won in an injury lawsuit against a trucking company for the accident.
Wal-Mart’s top executive for human resources, Pat Curran, wrote that Ms. Shank’s extraordinary situation had made the company re-examine its stance. Wal-Mart has been roundly criticized in newspaper editorials, on cable news shows and by its union foes for its claim to the funds, which it made in a lawsuit upheld by a federal appeals court.
Insurance experts say it is increasingly common for health plans to seek reimbursement for the medical expenses they paid for someone’s treatment if the person also collects damages in an injury suit. The practice, called “subrogation,” has increased since a 2006 Supreme Court ruling that eased it.
Wal-Mart’s Ms. Curran said the retailer was required by the rules of its plan to seek reimbursement from the Shank’s settlement. But she said the case has made Wal-Mart revise those rules to allow for flexibility in individual cases. “Occasionally others help us step back and look at a situation in a different way. This is one of those times,” Ms. Curran wrote in the letter.
Ms. Shank, 52, lost much of her memory and ability to communicate or walk in a crash between her minivan and a tractor trailer in May 2000. Her family sued the trucking company and won $700,000. Court records show that after attorney’s fees and costs, the remaining $417,477 from the settlement went into a trust to care for Ms. Shank. The fund now has about $270,000, the family said.
Ms. Shanks’ health insurance was through Wal-Mart, where she worked nights stocking shelves. After the Shanks won their lawsuit, Wal-Mart sued the Shank family to recover medical costs totaling about $470,000.
Wal-Mart won its case and subsequent appeals by the Shanks that went as far as the Supreme Court, which closed legal avenues this month by declining to hear the case.
The case put a spotlight on the growing use of reimbursement claims by health plans, experts say. Roger Baron, professor of law at the University of South Dakota and a specialist in health-plan law, said health plans have become “very aggressive” about subrogation since the 2006 Supreme Court decision.
“It’s free money. They want the free money,” Mr. Baron said.
Lynn Dudley, vice president for policy at the American Benefits Council in Washington, D.C., said the negative publicity around the case was beginning to draw the attention of lawmakers who might want legislation to stop or limit subrogation.
Mr. Baron said Wal-Mart’s size — it is the nation’s largest nongovernment employer, with over 1.3 million workers — means that its willingness to compromise in an individual case may have a wider impact on reimbursement practices by other health plans. “I’m so pleased to see an element of reason because so much of this subrogation has been about just blindly going after the money,” Mr. Baron said

Novelist ANNE RICE Officially Endorses Hillary for President!
More smart women endorsing smart women: Brilliant Novelist Anne Rice endorses Hillary – check it out!Analyzing The Obama Movement
Do we really want a man named Obama for President? Or are we somehow compensating for not catching Osama? Ponder it…If I were a martian looking down at this 2008 electcion I’d be shaking my head in wonderment. If Freud is looking down at us from some heavenly cloud, he must be laughing -saying to himself, “talk about unconscious motivations…” I wish Carl Jung were here to report. This is the stuff of Dr. Seuss tales.
Seriously, maybe we hate Bush so much that we want Obama to lead our nation, like saying, “See there Bush, Osama won after all.”
The Obama Fans pride themselves on being for CHANGE and yet if change were truly what they wanted, they’d vote for the ULTIMATE change – a woman. I’ve heard people ask, “Are we ready for a black president?” “As long as he has a penis,” should be the answer.
It’s a sad state of affairs for women. We’ve not come as long a way as we’d like to believe. I remember learning something quite unbelieveable to me (then, anyways) in a psych class. My gray-bearded, womanizing professor said, “I pity women for they are the most hated of all – men hate women and women hate women. ” I am so disgusted.
Watching The View this past week brought that college memory to the forefront of my thinking…someone said, “White men HATE Hillary.”
It’s really nice to know we’re ready for a black pres. but why does it have to be one that’s so GREEN? Obama is inexperienced, and unoriginal. The only confidence he exudes has come from hanging off of Oprah’s skirt.
I, for one, am sick of men ruining this country with their warrior mentalities, and egoistic dicks. I’m ready for real change – Hillary. She’s not perfect, but she’s solid, committed, experienced, and who can heal better than mommy. Lord knows, WE NEED A HEALING!
George Washington was Father of our country – we’re ready to make Hillary Mother of our country! Amen, and Amen!
Maya Angelou Powerfully Supports Hillary!
