Lunchtime!

Okay, I'm taking Tony's advice and jot in a quick post during my lunch break.

So, death to Scott Peterson. Interesting. Frankly, upon hearing the verdict, I did mouth "YES". But my conscience has been bugged by this. I've been on the fence about the death penalty for years. I certainly support that the cost of the mandatory appeals process is not outweighed by the removal of the individual from the living. But at the same time do I believe that they are certain crimes that are so atrocious that the person responsible should pay with their life?...yes. Do I believe the murder of Laci and the unborn child are one of those cases?...no. So why the reaction when hearing the verdict? Here lies my mental struggle. Maybe cuz I'm a mom, maybe cuz I feel so horribly for the family members who lost their daughter and grandchild.

Newsflash:
Medicare payment errors near $20B
I love the quote from Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, "With an improper payment amount of nearly $20 billion and an error rate approaching double digits, there is clearly an unacceptable problem here."

Gee, ya think?
