The three-day clinic, which relies on more than 1,000 volunteers, will serve as many as 3,000 people before it ends Sunday. The vast majority of patients — more than 70 percent — come for dental care, Brock said.

Every year, hundreds of people have every one of their teeth pulled there. Then they put their names into a denture lottery, with the hope of being picked to get a set of false teeth made for them at the next year’s event. Forty-six people were picked from a list of 700 to get dentures this year.

“They pull thousands of teeth here. At the end, they’ll have buckets of teeth,” said volunteer Jennifer Lee, Virginia’s deputy secretary of health and human resources and an emergency room doctor.

I've been to "The Hollas" plenty of times. It is a sad sad place.

So you are saying they don't have a health problem? That the dental issues are all made up?

No, not at all. I'm just saying that it's an obvious hit on the Republican Virginia House of Delegates for holding the line on the Medicaid budget, and a ridiculous effort to make McAuliffe look good. I thought that's why you posted the piece in the first place, Jon -- not to generate sympathy for the locals. Your partisanship precedes you.

All the good Christians in the HOD don't want to help the poor people - how not suprising.

Item #2 on this morning's MediaMatters infolist.

Item #1 was Climate Change...though, it's kinda lost its appeal since it leaked out Steyer's contributed more than the Kochs. (Shhhhh!)

Meh - I saw it on Facebook.


The only thing that will convince people like you the seriousness of the climate change issue is when you are underwater...

Being underwater works for me...

...you forgot my passion is diving...

...I'm a PADI Divemaster.

Seriously, John...how many more years do the Alarmists have to be proven wrong before they move on to the next scam?

Everything predicted has come to pass - ocean levels ARE rising. Sea Ice is in steady decline. Tempertures ARE rising.

Except the ice sheets that are breaking off...

And Antarctica is not sea ice, geo-whiz :) Greenland is melting, though. Northern hemisphere is warming

So it's solely our fault. Wait isn't the ozone hole in the south?
