Democrats may still find a way to address the USCCB's concerns in health reform - and they're negotiating separately with the pro-life Democrats who will be needed to pass health-reform legislation. But some feel burned by earlier attempts at negotiation and are ready to forget about courting the bishops' support. They point out that the Catholic Health Association, which represents more than 1,200 Catholic health systems and facilities, has been more encouraging of Democratic proposals (although the CHA has yet to endorsed any bill). Obama recently appointed CHA's president and CEO, Sister Carol Keehan...
...fast, the way people feel about things they did when they were younger, long careers, nuclear disarmament, the British government’s abuse of the Irish people, train rides, plane flights, offices in Quincy that lack windows, pancake houses in the Midwest, three-day tournaments in which people forget about things like breakfast, undying loyalty, national titles, never-ending glory.

The Adams family bid farewell to Houston - Love ya, Blue, bye-bye - for Nashville. The Bidwells, formerly of St. Louis, now winter with their Arizona Cardinals while the Rosenbloom family that...
...Several outstanding NFL players, including McNabb and Jets linebacker Bart Scott have announced they wouldn't play for a Limbaugh-owned team. That's understandable, but they shouldn't forget that playing in the NFL is to be working for sport's biggest plantation. Yes, guys like McNabb are making multimillion-dollar paydays. Yet he and the rest of the players labor within the confines of a football monopoly that has never taken kindly to outside competition or an activist workforce. Consider the NFL players' strike of 1987, which the owners crushed with all the sensitivity of Kentucky coal-mine...
