Newt's like a romanticized childhood memory: you remember all the good parts, but everything else is kind of fuzzy. Except, hopefully, people will take off the beer goggles and see reality.Bircheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045640752795693223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354088340676036382.post-80707755415774952962011-06-22T16:13:21.748-06:002011-06-22T16:13:21.748-06:00Here's yet another reason why we're sendin...Here's yet another reason why we're sending Carmen to Littleton Academy.

Paying for people like that (and that includes my own family members) is one reason a public option makes me so mad.
