Friday Morning in Nerk, Ahia

It is cold out, ice on the windshields, have to get Marilyn's car warmed up and the windows cleaned before she heads to work. She is back at Harry and David's now, she has done this for quite a few years, likes it, and it keeps her going.

Important news this morning, something about which building is the tallest, one in Chicago or one in New York, neither of which is involved in the insurance controversy. And, oh, new rules on flying "drones" in the US.

"Mister Orville Wright, what is your opinion on the new rules pertaining to "drones" flying here in our country?"

Is that all it takes, a, "Hey, I'm sorry, I lied to you," from a president, and if so, why not just go ahead and apologize for all the other ones too. Give him a few hours of TV time to do that. He will feel better if he gets them all off of his chest.

I guess people have always had "health insurance," I am not sure. I remember when people would bring their problem to my Dad's office, he would fix them up, they would pay the bill and go home. He had needed pills on hand, bottles of cough syrup or whatever. He had prescription pads, but I don't think he used them often. People would leave with one of his little pill envelopes or a bottle of something.  Who is to blame? Pharmaceutical companies, technology, insurance companies, hospitals or the doctors. Which one was the greediest?
