I just received this from a friend. I want to know that John McCain Plans to stop this type of nonsense in order to get my vote:
My father is suffering from Alzheimer's and is in the VA Hospital, Jackson, Ms,. The hospital now wants to discharge him after only 2 months, they have said he will need special care for the rest of his
life. He is a decorated WW 2 Veteran and in the hospital that was
built to care for veterans. Our goal is for him to stay in the VA
Hospital under their care.... Read More

To all:
I am writing to ask for your help as it might relate to Dementia, Alzheimer’s or the VA Hospital.
My father, Eudell Evans, was admitted on June 16, 2008, to the VA Medical Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi. The doctors and staff of the hospital have determined he is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and will need special care for the rest of his life. They have now asked that we find another hospital or care facility and they want to remove
him from their care.
He served during World War 2, with the First Army, 83th division and was awarded the bronze star, among other metals. He was a Captain on the Jackson, Mississippi, police department for 22 years. He also served 10 years on the security detail at the Veterans Hospital, and served as a Federal Marshall. He has spent his entire life in the service of others.
I ask for your help in contacting anyone who you might know in the VA administration, or otherwise, that might be able to help keep him in the Hospital which was built to
server those who have severed our country.
They have asked that we move him the next 30 days. We do not think this is the way a Veteran should be treated.

Thank you

I assure you that I am not lame. I have the full use of both of my legs and can get around just fine.




I was just trying to warn the previous commenter about the propensity for certain Republican officeholders to use the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport bathroom stalls as places to meet other doods for the purposes of anonymous sex. Didn't you know about that? It was in all the papers a while back.

unfortuately we had a same issue in the heartsfield-jackson airport here in atlanta. i thought you were referring to that.

i figured you could walk! :|

honestly there is corruption in DC and our local governments. Hell the atlanta mayor former i should add is in jail for a laundry list of dirty deeds while in office. He was a democrat, that doesn't make all dems bad or evil. Just as i don't like Bush/Cheney they aren't the representation of the whole party. ... Read More

He had one of the highest approval ratings at one time, he was re-elected. The country liked Bush, until his second term. SO the whole eight years is just a ploy to mislead the voters to thinking that the country has been in shambles for 8 years.

Funny i have become the most successful since bush's second term began. I am the exception to the rule. But i prove that the market doesn't determine potential in all of us to achieve what we want.
