Here’s you.










The way you worte this…with the line and all…awesome.
Seriously.
Absolutely over the line. There are some things you should never say. Out loud.
I can see Stark’s frustration, though. Denying health care to kids living in poverty is … well, it’s just an international embarrassment for your country. The rest of the world can’t quite understand how it is possible for the tobacco and medical lobbies to wield that kind of power without the people rising up and saying “No – this is just wrong. This is not how a civilized country treats its children.”
But what Stark said about the war in Iraq was … let’s call it “ill-advised”. I don’t think George Bush is QUITE that evil.
Just evil enough to deny health care to poor children.
