This week we have Rob Reiner’s take on a King movie, the retitled ‘Stand By Me’ (based on the novella ‘The Body’).

First though, let us say a brief prayer of thanks to be through a particularly rough patch of Sundays with Stephen:

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Maximum Overdrive,
I will fear no Cat’s Eye;
For King art with me,
His Shawshank and his Shining they comfort me.

Welcome back to Sundays with Stephen, now 50% more blasphemous.

More below the cut.

Just a quick note on the lack of image updates the last couple of weeks.

Basically, I was involved in an enormous art project and I didn’t have the energy for humorous mockery of the movies in question. I’m going to try to do 3 weeks worth at once this week, but no promises.

I need to do a post about the project that kept me sidelined sometime soon as well, actually.

I’m going to go back and put this little nugget in my huge poster from yesterday about why not to support health care, but for now, just take this on its own:

In the Exchange set up by the House health reform bill, HR 3962, a plan cannot both cover abortion and take subsidies.

It can, however, cover erectile dysfunction.

Meanwhile, gender rating is banned by the bill.

An insurance plan in the exchange HAS to cover maternity care, as well as well-baby care. (HR 3962 Sec. 222b)

But it can opt out of covering routine OBGYN visits.

Have you noticed a pattern? I’ll spell it out for you. A woman, under the House health bill, only receives help with comprehensive reproductive health coverage if she gets pregnant and stays that way.

Just like Bart Stupak thinks she should be.

I wonder what kind of pie he thinks women should bake while they stand barefoot in the kitchen.
