Avery's 1st Birthday Party (45 photos), by Jennifer Cavagnaro

Update 3/22: I am so glad that Jen finally got to post these pictures of Avery's birthday! Unfortunately we are having "time" difficulties in the Cavagnaro house...it appears that 24 hours in a day just doesn't cut it anymore with three sets of kid wheels motoring around the house now. Avery being on the move is quite a change for all of us! As usual...all the great ideas came from Jen...I just did the cake! Happy birthday Avery!

I don't even know what to title this one...

Things are getting ugly in the USA.... People are waking up and realizing that they need to participate in their government - but most don't really know how. This healthcare issue has become a pinnacle slap in the face to the masses. Memo to D.C. ... we only tolerate so much insolence. The last time I recall this much "heat" was before the Iraq war...but that was a different matter. That at least followed a somewhat "normal" course. This healthcare issue is so much more than that. All the deceit, all the back-room deals, all the shenanigans ... this really is the breaking point for many US citizens (note: I don't say Americans anymore as people in Costa Rica like to remind me that they are American's too...). I really do feel that this will end up in "revolt". Hopefully just the "vote the bums out" kind...but I am not so sure about that. The minority of folks that actually pay taxes these days are getting sick and tired of being told that they don't have a voice and/or that we are too dumb to understand. Believe me...we understand completely. Once >50% of the people are on the gov't gravy train...we are going to just get screwed faster and harder. We get it! We are effectively being told at every turn that the government is more capable of managing our lives than we are. Personally, I love that lie the most. A travesty of the gravest proportion. Here is the latest installment...you really need to read this one!

If this bill passes....watch out. I do believe that there will be repercussions. Stir into the brew, the fact that states are delaying paying back YOUR tax refunds (yeah - just imagine the warm reception you would get if you were late paying your taxes because you don't have the money):

Then add a dash of immigration reform - to tip the D scales just a little bit farther:

What do you have? An eruption from the void!

Masscare

This would be funny - if I didn't just have to include in my MA tax returns, a form stating that I "met the minimum health coverage requirements" this year (don't worry...it's coming to a theater near you soon).
