Handbasket 666 Now Departing

So the Republican won in MA. Sad. I’m really starting to lose faith in the people of this country. If I had a dime for every politician who decried “business as usual” on the campaign trail, I’d have a lot more money to my name than is currently the case. Why aren’t the American people [...]

Seen on a bumper sticker

Frodo failed. Bush has the ring.
Not exactly timely, but still funny.

It would be funny, but. . .

. . .I think he’s serious.

Hatch asserted that the health bills, which he believes represent a “step-by-step approach to socialized medicine,” will lead to Americans’ dependence on Democrats for their health and other issues. “And if they get there, of course, you’re going to have a very rough time having a two-party system in this [...]

Can you hear my blood boiling?

Saw this today in a comment thread on Facebook:
…expanding real competition by allowing insurance companies to issue health policies across state lines, changing deductables[sic] and coverage to encourage people to only go to the doctor when they need to, and to pay more of their health costs themselves directly.

First: I’m no insurance industry expert, but [...]

Here’s your sign.

I was stunned when this actually made news. Talk about a tempest in a teapot. Have we really sunk this far? How far up your ass does your head have to be to even consider the President of the United States encouraging kids to stay in school a bad thing? Have you been watching the [...]

The Doom of History

The opposition in this year has already imported into this campaign a very interesting thing because it’s foreign. They have imported the propaganda technique invented by the dictators abroad. Remember, a number of years ago, there was a book, Mein Kampf, written by Hitler himself. The technique was all set out in Hitler’s book, and [...]

Repealing DADT

I finally got around to watching Obama’s comments to GLBT leaders at the White House. I must say I was impressed. His comments about repealing DADT in “a way that will take” seem especially relevant and wise given the recent murder of gay Navy sailor August Provost. He was shot multiple times and set on [...]

Sarah Palin for President

Can you think of anything more frightening for this country? Recently on Meet The Press, McCain stated unequivocally that he believes Sarah Palin to be qualified for President. Her qualifications? “She has all the right instincts, all the right principles, she was a mayor, she was a governor, she has a great background.”
She was mayor [...]

And you’re surprised because…?

The White House on Obama’s promise to lift the ban on needle exchange programs:

We have not removed the ban in our budget proposal because we want to work with Congress and the American public to build support for this change.”

And from America Blog:

Let’s see…

The candidate promised to lift the ban.
The White House Web site reaffirmed [...]

The amount of health insurance premiums I can deduct from my taxes because I am self-employed…
$666
That won’t happen again this year since my premiums have jumped by 50%. The rate of inflation for 2008 was higher than it’s been in a long time. 5%. Are you seriously telling me that medical costs jumped at 10 [...]
