Medicare prescription programs available to all
For most Americans, particularly those of Medicare age, prescription drug coverage is one of the most important issues in their lives. The reasons are obvious, the medications we need more and more to remain healthy as we age are taking ever increasing bites out of what we may have believed to be adequate funds for our "golden years." In short, the gold we saved and planned for just isn't enough to provide for our needs.

Study finds Fox viewers most uninformed in U.S.
I must apologize to Steve Hatcher for calling him stupid. I should have suspected he was a Fox viewer. Steve, like most Fox viewers, is not stupid (that was a bad choice of words on my part, mea culpa) just uninformed.
Administration again proves its deviousness
Yet again the Bush administration has proven its deviousness. It appears that Bush's friend, Karl Rove, was involved in outing CIA agent Valerie Plame.

Raffle to benefit BGH nurses scholarship fund

Crime scene cleanup governed by regulations
In this week's article, I thought I would discuss one of the hardest jobs I've ever had to do — and that is as a crime scene cleaner. This job taps every sense of the cleaner's being. It pulls on their emotions because of the intense sadness the family feels and the compassion that tugs on their own emotions. Every scene is different regardless of whether it's a homicide, suicide or decomposition (natural or accidental death).

Evolution's critics dismissed too glibly
Jack DeBaun (July 28) dismisses his critics too glibly. Labeling the letters of others as "misstatements" doesn't make it so. And not everyone who opposes evolution is a creationist. Any intelligent person who examines macroevolution carefully can see its defects. It has not been proven by the scientific method, because it is not observable nor replicable. Right from the beginning, macroevolutionists fabricated conclusions and tried to massage the data (and in some cases just made it up) to fit those conclusions. They are the ones practicing "pseudoscience."

Karl Rove must be held accountable for actions
Some of us pay attention to national news and want our politicians to conduct themselves in a responsible manner. President Bush's Supreme Court nomination has seemed to take his buddy Karl Rove off the hot seat. There needs to be a full accounting to the American people about what happened in this CIA leak case.
When is a crow more important than a governor?
