Well, we're still waiting to see the extent of the injury before we take any action. So far, they've been very unhelpful to us. They won't cover my wife going to see a doctor, and made it known that if we put it on our insurance, we could be liable for the costs when it comes time to settle. I have a good attorney though, so I'm not too worried about it.

My father in law is doing OK -- understandably, still a little weak, but he's promised to cut the pork chops and Ding-Dongs out of his diet, so there's progress. =)

BTW, here's a quote I liked from the new Clinton book -- I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. =P

"I was genuinely confused by the mainstream press coverage of Whitewater...One day, after one of our budget meetings in October, I asked Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming to stay a moment to talk. Simpson was a conservative Republican, but we had a pretty good relationship because of the friendship we had in common with his governor, Mike Sullivan. I asked Alan if he thought Hillary and I had done anything wrong in Whitewater. 'Of course not,' he said. 'That's not what this is about. This is about making the public think you did something wrong. Anybody who looked at the evidence would see that you didn't.' Simpson laughed at how willing the 'elitist' press was to swallow anything negative about small, rural places like Wyoming or Arkansas and made an interesting observation: 'You know, before you were elected, we Republicans believed the press was liberal. Now we have a more sophisticated view. They are liberal in a way. Most of them voted for you, but they think more like your right-wing critics do, and that's much more important.' When I asked him to explain, he said, 'Democrats like you and Sullivan get into government to help people. The right-wing extremists don't think government can do much to improve on human nature, but they like power. So does the press. And since you're President, they both get power the same way, by hurting you.' I appreciated Simpson's candor and I thought about what he said for months. For a long time, whenever I was angry about the Whitewater press coverage I would tell people about Simpson's analysis. When I finally just accepted his insight as accurate, it was liberating, and it cleared my head for the fight."

New York Times review

The book, which weighs in at more than 950 pages, is sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull — the sound of one man prattling away, not for the reader, but for himself and some distant recording angel of history.

In many ways, the book is a mirror of Mr. Clinton's presidency: lack of discipline leading to squandered opportunities; high expectations, undermined by self-indulgence and scattered concentration. But the very lack of focus and order that mars these pages also prevented him from summoning his energies in a sustained manner to bring his insights about the growing terror threat and an Israeli-Palestinian settlement to fruition.

"My Life" has little of classic's unsparing candor or historical perspective. Instead, it devolves into a hodgepodge of jottings: part policy primer, part 12-step confessional, part stump speech and part presidential archive, all, it seems, hurriedly written and even more hurriedly edited.

Monica Lewinsky in a statement released today, countered President Clinton's Book "My Life" I have had enough! This whole experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I can't stomach any more. I feel as if I am getting the shaft, that this ugly matter has come to a head and blown up in my face. This may be a load to handle, but when things are hard, that is when I am at my best. I have faced hard things in the past and I know what is coming. I will meet the challenge the only way I know how: head on. I have licked bigger things than this before, and I will again. No one will ever be able to say that Monica Lewinsky isn't a finisher, that she quit before the job was done. I will work non-stop and fight this blow by blow, until I am wiped clean of this dirty affair. I will not be stained by it. As for Bill Clinton, I hope he gets a stiff penalty. Thank you

Happy to hear that the FIL will be OK. It's also good to hear that he'll be watching his diet a little more closely.

I too have some words regarding Bill Clinton I'd like to share, (this wasn't in his book though):


In the end, if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him, it seems the joke will be on all of us, for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility, for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy. We will have set apart clinton as the hero by making his victims less human than he; we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings as much as clinton himself does. I dare missus clinton and her husband to prove they didn't participate in the 1978 rape of Juanita Broaddrick in Arkansas… and the 1969 rape of Eileen Wellstone at Oxford. The clintons should produce bill clinton's Oxford records explaining his sudden, (seemingly AWOL) post-Wellstone-rape departure; the clintons should release the Ford building evidence detailing their rape of Broaddrick; their reflexive abuse of women. The clintons could solve this very easily by coming clean with the American people and letting them know what they did and didn't do. The truth is, the Democrats brought this on themselves… They had the clintons dress up as feminists. The plain fact is: the clintons don't serve women--they rape them. --- Mia T

"he said, 'Democrats like you and Sullivan get into government to help people.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Clinton is interested only in helping himself...he would behead his own mother if it kept him in Power!! Seriously, I do not believe fer one second that Alan Simpson said this, maybe O.J. Simpson, but not Alan!! This is self-serving bullkrap!!

"The right-wing extremists don't think government can do much to improve on human nature, but they like power. So does the press. And since you're President, they both get power the same way, by hurting you.' I appreciated Simpson's candor and I thought about what he said for months."

Like I said, you'd haveta be extremely naive to believe this krap, but I guess what makes SlickWillie tolerable to the masses of the DemonRAT victim class is their Willfull Ignorance, 'cuz nobody could be THAT STOOOOOPID without doing it on purpose, imho!!

SHEEEEESH, I'm not sure who's more STOOOOPID, the DemonRATS who believe Clinton, or Billzabubba fer believing his support base is soooooo STOOOOPID!!
