Leonard Pitt’s column about the guy trying to crowd source $30,000 for his health care is a must read. The guy is a Republican who refused to get Obamacare because he could pay for himself and didn’t need no stinking government welfare. Well, he got sick. Used up all his savings. Couldn’t work.

What asses.

So the Pope thinks that women should get equal pay and be treated equally. Isn’t this a bit hypocritical coming from a man who heads a church that has denied women equality for over 2000 years?

In a little over one week, my hot water heater blew up, my cable box on my tv died and my toilet flusher thingy gave up the ghost.  Hello out there? Who put a curse on me?
