Please do not vote for this. Do not betray all your constituents, and all the citizens of the country, by saddling them with exploding health insurance premiums. You cannot trust the Republicans on this. You KNOW that. You need to stand strong and force them to accept ACA subsidy extensions!

My wife, who has performed stand-up over the years, once had a joke that when in LA she went to the gynecologist for a Pap smear and they offered it to her California style--it came with a slice of avocado.

That's hilarious, and I hadn't heard it before. I took a quick look for the article, didn't find it, but did see that on September 20th, 1944, the NYT discovered pizza: www.nytimes.com/1944/09/20/a...
News of Food; Pizza, a Pie Popular in Southern Italy, Is Offered Here for Home Consumption (Published 1944)
