I just made the mistake of turning on the television and caught the tail end of an algore ad slamming GW for his views on HMOs or somesuch. [Breathy female voice:] "Is it any surprise? Just look at Texas -- second to last in women and children without health insurance..." I would parse that to mean that Texas has some of the *highest* rates of insurance among women-and-children. Perhaps the portion of my brain which should control knee-jerk responses to black and white photographs of little hispanic girls with maudlin background music was replaced with basic logic rules when I wasn't looking. Silly me.
