Stretch the truth much?
If the opponents of the Affordable Care Act have reasons to oppose it and want others to agree with them, and if they claim the Act is intrinsically flawed, shouldn’t they stick to facts and pointing out what the actual flaws are, rather than come up with fantasies?
Walmart picket
Yesterday, Friday, as I had done last year’s day after Thanksgiving, I headed to Falmouth, stopping along the way to get two boxes O’ Joe at Dunkin Donuts to give to the picketers at Walmart in case it got cold and they needed to warm themselves.
