But just in case anyone was wavering as the newly unified GOP plan hit the papers Wednesday, the White House shifted their pre-negotiation negotiations into high gear with the same strategy that got him through the last six years: stay on message and stay on television. "If they conclude this plan and send it to me," Clinton said Wednesday from his sunny pulpit in the Rose Garden, "I will have to veto it.

According to a recent statistic, over 60 percent of households still cook with wood--resulting in a high incidence of respiratory illnesses. But I am lucky. I am staying in a house with a stove and a refrigerator and (at times) hot water.
