Lots of it

There is plenty of news this morning, including this editorial comment from the New York Times; “Depriving children of adequate health care while giving the rich tax benefits that were intended for average Americans is flat-out wrong, and Congress must move quickly to prevent that.”

So what do you think? I know that poor children and their poor parents don’t have much money to give to political causes, so I’m thinking that the situation will require another editorial comment at the same time next year. And the year after that.

There’s also a history lesson…
Lesson #1:
ON THIS DAY in history; On Dec. 27, 1979, Soviet forces seized control of Afghanistan. President Hafizullah Amin, who was overthrown and executed, was replaced by Babrak Karmal.

Lesson #2
That day in history needs to be followed by this one… “February 16, 1989
Last Soviet Soldiers Leave Afghanistan
