Dear Mr. Prez: Please Lose the Hellthcare

   When one deducts those who DON’T WANT health insurance and those who
are young enough to think they don’t need it, we are left with the 5
percent who are the illegals in our nation. A consistent 85 percent are
satisfied with their current coverage, and in baseball that’s an
amazing batting average.  
   That doesn’t mean that they don’t want improvement, but, given our
government’s fiscal work at the plate, it is either foolish or too
political to tinker with our healthcare system in the way you and your
liberal comrades are lusting for.

They finished in style by beating the highly touted Valhalla Norsemen 37-31 in a shootout.

Bulldogs like to pound it out and eat up the clock. The Bulldogs ran 70
offensive plays (56 runs and 14 passes). The Dawgs had the ball for
more than 31 of the 48 minutes.

their league record to 1-2 and their overall record to 5-4 with the win

   “It speaks to the character of the girls that they were willing to
look at what we were missing,” Coach Connie Halfaker said of the team’s
adjustment to the loss. “They’re able to translate it and put it into a
match in very short order.”
