POPSThe Bronx Zoo Is Having To Lay Off Lots of Animals
And later that afternoon he actually saw an ostrich putting ketchup on a penguin. Zoo Director Muckenmuch said that on average about two million people visit the 114 year-old institution annually. He remarked that so far this year the Bronx Zoo has had a total of 917 visitors and that includes the three social workers who recently came in to give one of the older giraffes an enema. Muckenmuck said that just this morning he was told by one of his zoo employees that he had observed two of the kangaroos fighting over who would get to eat the empty food dish. As he looked out the window, he could clearly see one of the zoo vultures trying to put an otter between two slices of bread.

POPS Governors v. Congress of Head Start, child care subsidies and special education, the state will have to enroll thousands of new families into the programs.

The Medicaid money for states is also a fiscal time bomb. The stimulus bill temporarily increases the share of state Medicaid bills reimbursed by the federal government by two or three percentage points. High-income states now pay about half the Medicaid costs, and in low-income states the feds pay about 70%. Much of the stimulus money will cover health-care costs for unemployed workers and single workers without kids. But in 2011 almost all the $80 billion of extra federal Medicaid money vanishes. Does Congress really expect states to dump one million people or more from Medicaid at that stage?

POPSMy favourite of Tindlebears - Grimm OOAK Teddy Bear I want this bear so incredibly much! He's the most awesome teddy bear ever! But sadly, tindlebears makes bears that are meant as collectibles and not for kids. :( Otter would never be happy having a teddy bear that he can look at but not snuggle and kiss. Sigh! I want it so so much!
