Oh, noes! That's a DEATH PANEL!<br /><br />Sick: Just hope that the condition goes away, because you can't afford a barn call. Oh, wait! That's just for the uninsured, those dishonest scallywags who don't have health insurance even though they can easily afford it on a part-time, minimum-wage income.<br /><br />Split hoof: Apply Healex hoof cream -- it's a lot like Noxema. Oh, wait, your health plan won't cover that because it's not a generic!<br /><br />Broken Withers: WTF? I've never known of a horse with a fracture at the withers! This must be an invention by those damned communist Nazi liberals!<br /><br />Needs Bath: Let horse roll in the dirt to exfoliate, then brush coat clean. If that fails, use a hose and a small bottle of iodine shampoo. Hire illegal immigrants to do the actual work.<br /><br />Tax cuts are great because they mainly go to those who already have more money than they can use. Hey! I know what to do with all those extra millions: buy more horses!<br /><br />;-D<br /><br />oreausle = stimulation resulting from the ingestion of too many chocolate sandwich cookies.sheila, who isn't lurking todaynoreply@blogger.com
