Isn't it NICE!

Isn't it nice how, despite having five (FIVE!) heart attacks, Dick Cheney still has insurance? AND his home? AND the luxury of contemplating whether he wants a transplant or not?

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

What do YOU think is NICE?

I think it's very NICE for Mr Cheney. It's GOOD that he can live to shoot friend's faces, snort derisively, grunt a few times, and keep evil on the right track.

I also think it is really NICE that celebrities can purchase babies. Cost is no object. It's downright LOVELY.

I think it's NICE that David Cameron is going to give people choice again in the NHS and in education.
He's going to ensure that people can have medical treatment where they want to.
This is great, because The Royal Bucks Hospital in Aylesbury used to have an A&E department. I choose to be treated there if I am in need in future.

Also if Dad has heart problems in future he won't be taken to High Wycombe, and then trasferred to Hounslow for the actual operation - he can choose to be treated in Stoke Mandeville hospital which is on the Aylesbury bus route - much more convenient for Mum (and me - I wasn't living here last time).

And it means that the local GP surgery will start taking appointments again. Which will really help Mum & Dad because at the moment they have to go three miles across town (I'm in a newer practice 10 mins walk away - I'll probably transfer back though). Not sure what they're going to do about the dentist that's taken over the old GP surgery though. Or maybe everyone will just cram into the small remaining section which is now a dedicated children's clinic.

AND - parents can choose where to send their children to school.
Yay! No more closure of village schools, no more parents complaining that their child has to travel 5 miles when there is a school in the next road but it's oversubscribed.
Funny, the school I'm at is over-subscribed. I wonder where we will put all the extra children next year? I seem to remember someone saying we were oversubscribed by 50%. Ooh! That's going to be a squeeze!

Like his Daddy, David Cameron went to Eton, if we really have choice in education let's all choose to send our children there.

Isn't it NICE that people can feel so righteous that they duplicate work because they assume it isn't being done because no-one is as awesome as they are and don't actually bother to ask? Especially when they pick and choose the easy showy bits and don't even consider the real hold-it-all-together jobs. LOVELY indeed. SUPER to be so AWESOME.

I used to work with her. Yeah, she was SUPER. And is still SUPERLY climbing over the backs of those she's stabbed, while she picks the glory projects and toots her own NICE horn. Now she's someone else's DARLING problem.

I think it's NICE and I take solace in the fact that no one escapes death regardless of welath, social status, whatever. World-wide death rate holding steady at 100%!
