Martha CoakleyApparently it struck a chord with women around the country when the Massachusetts senatorial candidate spoke out against the Stupak amendement, because she’s raking in the bucks from women:
Women from every state have donated, usually in small-dollar amounts, to the campaign war chest of Attorney General Martha Coakley, who, through the most recent reporting period, had raised about twice as much as her nearest competitors in the four-way race that will be decided in Tuesday’s special primary.
Political fund-raising has long been dominated by men, but for the Coakley campaign two-thirds of its donors are women, a review by the Globe of her campaign finance reports shows.
Take 72-year-old Carol Lakin of ... Read the rest of "Martha Coakley"

SnowEveryone is, of course, in a complete tizzy this morning since we are expected to get an inch three inches or less of snow.

RecissionsI’m glad I don’t have Aetna, but I know people who do. Better be really, really careful about anything you claim:
Health insurance giant Aetna is planning to force up to 650,000 clients to drop their coverage next year as it seeks to raise additional revenue to meet profit expectations.
In a third-quarter earnings conference call in late October, officials at Aetna announced that in an effort to improve on a less-than-anticipated profit margin in 2009, they would be raising prices on their consumers in 2010. The insurance giant predicted that the company would subsequently lose between 300,000 and 350,000 members next year from its national account as well as another 300,000 from smaller group accounts.
“The pricing we put in place for 2009 turned out to not really be what we needed to achieve the results and margi... Read the rest of "Recissions"
Back to the HellmouthThis morning I had to get my custom ankle brace fitted, and the satellite office was in an office park, right next to the Very Horrible Place (trade school) where I used to work some years ago.
Still, I survived the proximity to Evil, even stopping long enough to check out the Aldi’s supermarket I passed on my way home. I wanted to see what it was like because it’s the same company that owns Trader Joe’s, but it’s nothing like it. It mostly had a very limited selection. So now I know....

LimitedHow come resources are only “limited” when it comes to us, and not for another war? As Duncan pointed out yesterday, one of the reasons the deficit is growing is because so many people aren’t working and paying taxes.... Read the rest of "Limited"
