Probably a typo from EMT, as T and Y are adjacent on the keyboard.

Astronomers have developed a definition of "planet" which excludes Pluto.

They USED to provide the casket;  I know because they paid for my

instructed my brother and me to tell the funeral director that my
fathER wanted the VA funeral and we were NOT to pay one cent more
than the VA benefit, and that those were his specific
instructions.  When the idiot tried to sell us a "better"
overpriced casket (none of our family cared about the box we are
buried in) it was sooo easy to tell him to forget it.

I see from the VA's web site that the law was changed in 2001,
right after the Repugnicans took control of Congress and began
destroying all of the benefits that were PROMISED to veterans.

That's how Bush and his hypocrite Repuke friends in Congress
support the troops --- send 'em to a war zone with unarmored
vehicles and no body armor, and then deny them any benefits when
they are wounded or disabled!

SUPPORT THE TROOPS --- VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS WHO ***DO*** SUPPORT
VETERANS' BENEFITS!
