And I can't believe I wasted ten minutes of my life reading it.
When there are so many people in the world with real, tangible troubles -- losing jobs, losing homes, losing health insurance, losing their lives because they're not the right religion, gender, and/or sexual orientation -- I'm supposed to feel sorry for YOU because of your NAME?
Sorry, don't think sol.
And you call ATHEISTS ignorant?
GMAFB!
Prosecuting "Bush-era criminals" is NOT about "settling political scores." WHO they are and whose administration they worked for is IRRELEVANT. It's what they DID. If they committed criminal acts, they should be prosecuted just like anybody else.
I would say the EXACT same thing regardless of their or my political affiliation.
Becoming a parent is usually totally voluntary. Becoming a caretaker for a sick relative. or some other equally valid reason with social repercussions requiring an employee to be absent through no fault of his or own, is voluntary to a much lesser degree and with a much lesser degree of public acclaim.
Why are parents of newborns are special compared to everyone else with an equally or more compelling need for paid time off?
I resent like hell having to subsidize them at everyone else's expense just because they are lucky enough to be federal employees.
Please...just say SWAPPED. The "out" is NOT necessary. You just swap things. You don't swap them OUT. OK? Please?

"Its" -- not "it's."
It's a legal medical procedure. You don't get to tell other people what legal medical procedures they may have. It's not up to you to decide that for them. It's not at all hard for this pro-choicer to say that a woman should NEVER not be allowed to choose abortion. Her body, not yours. Her choice, not yours. Once you start modifying that choice as "moral" or "immoral" you start down the anti-choicers' path.
You haven't had abortion coverage since Bush II took office in 2000.
Clinton restored this coverage (which had been removed under Reagan) as soon as he took office in 1992, but W immediately shitcanned it.
If Obama restored abortion coverage to federal health plans, I have been unable to find any evidence of it.
So millions of women currently covered by the federally administered health plan already lack this coverage.
Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
