Can you say mindless?

I thought you could.
If the House Republicans get their way, the next time your or your neighbor’s kid swallows half a bottle of furniture polish or perfume your call to the local poison control center will go unanswered. They’ve decided the $27 million those centers cost the Federal Government must be eliminated.

What the hell, I’m sure it’s only poor people whose kids swallow that stuff, right? Republicans claim to be pro-life, but their version of that phrase means “from inception to birth.” Once the kid’s born, particularly if the mother is poor, she deserves no support, not even a poison control center in case that toddler drinks a little cleaning fluid.
