I greatly appreciated “A show of hands,” which honored Edgar Allen Beem’s aging parents. (But) the Limbaughs and Becks of conservative mindset are the very ones who revealed the “end of life counseling” in the (Obama) health-care bill. I’m hearing now, “no, they won’t kill grandma.” Maybe our congressmen (and women) would have recognized that, but only if they had read the bill. The people became aware of it thanks to “talking-point puppets.”
