A Look at Whom Will Make Your Healthcare Decisions
GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS: A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear.

Golf instead of Snow
Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer. Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins. And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to play your foul balls.
