I asked him how much surgical sterilization for women costs. Take a guess. The president tells us insurance companies must provide if for “free” …
A class act
Class. Honor. Dignity. Our celebrities and “heroes” have abandoned these virtues. One of the great baseball players of the past generation was Pete Rose, aka “Charlie Hustle.” Mr. Rose didn’t have the physical gifts of many of his contemporaries.
