Hi everyone.
Wondering if you saw the story we ran this morning about the emergency medical workers in New York City who are accused of not helping a pregnant woman because they were too busy eating bagels. Are you kidding me? If this is news to you please check out this story from the Associated Press:

A lot happening in the news today (which is a bit surprising since the week before Christmas is usually fairly quite). In Florence, distinguished airman Anthony Campbell is being laid to rest. He was killed last week in Afghanistan.
Also, we were there as Bengals players boarded buses this morning on their way to catch a charter flight to New Orleans for the funeral of teammate Chris Henry. Be sure to join us at noon and/or later today at 5 for full coverage of the events surrounding Henry’s visitation and funeral. Sad times, indeed.
But good things are happening, too. The Freestore Foodbank is giving out Christmas food boxes again today. The Freestore is expected to help feed approx. 18,000 tri-state families. Wow.
On the home front, my son is having a blast playing with low-hanging ornaments on our Christmas tree. Jesse’s doing her best to convince him to keep his hands off, but he’s so dang busy and rarely wants to slow down (like a chip off the old block!)..
Had a nice time last night watching UK win its 2,000th basketball game – the first program to achieve that accomplishment. While it’s kind of an arbitrary thing, it’s still pretty impressive when you take a second and think about it. Winning 2,000 games means Kentuckians have been shooting hoops for a long time and winning a bunch of the games they’ve played. Cool stuff. And the celebration in Rupp was fun to watch on ESPNU.
Not sure what to make of the health care bill that’s making it way toward President Obama’s desk. The political process behind the bill definitely highlights how corrosive the atmosphere is in Washington. As someone who strives for decency I just can’t comprehend how things can get so ugly. Disagree all you want but at least try to be civil. Is that too much to ask?
That’s about all I know for now. Have a great rest of your Tuesday.
Adios.
