Town Hall Meeting: Health Care Reform

There was a town hall meeting tonight regarding health care reform. I had every intention of going, but things like working got in the way. Somebody has to work to pay for these half baked, hare-brained ideas through tax dollars. However, really do need reform.

Seriously, I wanted to go as I've heard reports about right-winged nut jobs pulling Jerry Springer tactics to stir controversy. Do they even know what they're mouthing off about? I want to hear intelligent debate -- not some knee jerk reaction from some half-jacked, front row loud mouths trying to get their fifteen minutes of fame.

I am hoping that the politicians will heed the silent majority. No, we will not be the ones jumping up and down in the front row screaming obscenities. We are seriously trying to sift through the issue without drawing attention to ourselves. We have too much class to stoop to such trailer-trash levels. Please know our numbers are 1,000 fold than those low-class loud mouths.

We are out there. We are silent. We are watching everything. We vote.

Health Care Reform

.....don't hold your breath. The maggots at the top are reaping obnoxious amounts of money and our politicians, including Savior Obama, are on their payroll. That's the sad truth. Don't wait for the government to save you. They won't. The only thing you can do is to protect yourself.

The number one cause of bankruptcy in this country relates to astronomical medical bills. I guarantee that either you or one of your loved ones will experience this. If you're lucky enough to currently have medical insurance, don't expect it to last too much longer. It's simply too expensive for employers to maintain. The employers will shift costs to you, but it's still too expensive to maintain.

When medical bankruptcy hits you, as it most certainly will, don't have any assets. They can't get blood from a turnip. Don't bother to accumulate any wealth. They will just suck it from you for medical expenses when you eventually get sick.

My sister-in-law does not have medical insurance. She has very modest assets and works at a very modest wage. Of course, her employer cut out health insurance this past year. A friend-of-a-friend told her about a "free" program for health care. My sister-in-law does not qualify because she makes $50 more per week than the limit, and she owns her own home. That's her reward for trying to be a good citizen.

On the other hand, this friend-of-a-friend is an illegal immigrant. They qualify for the free medical care because they have no reportable wages and no assets because they are paid cash under the table.


Who's the idiot?

Tom Delay: Dancing With The Stars

WTF??? Tom Delay on Danciing with the Stars??? You've got to be kidding me. Are they THAT desperate? I suppose we could all laugh as we watch him do the white man shuffle. Anybody got an extra banana peel????

The Unclean Esthetician

My office is in a building that has LOTS of different types of tenants. We have been in the same office for many, many moons and I know the comings and goings of each tenant.

There is an esthetician in the building who does NOT wash her hands after going to the bathroom. Gross. This is not a one-time thing. This has been going on for years. Even others in my office have noticed this. To look at this woman you would think that she stepped off a fashion magazine, as she is very glamorous looking and always well-groomed.

Sorry, looks can be deceiving. I don't want some woman with shit under her fingernails giving me a facial. If her clients only knew......

Gender Test

There is a South African runner whose gender is being questioned as a female. Here is a direct quote from the article, "Before the race, IAAF spokesman Nick Davies stressed this is a “medical issue, not an issue of cheating.” He said the “extremely complex” testing has begun. The process requires a physical medical evaluation and includes reports from a gynecologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, internal medicine specialist and gender expert.

WTF??? Extremely "complex" testing? Either she has one, or she doesn't.... What's so complex about that?

I don't get it....

Spotted Dick: Yes, you really do eat it

I spotted this (no pun intended) at the grocery store yesterday. The first thing that came to mind was, "Excuse me, but doesn't this belong in the pharmacy section?"

All kidding aside, I have a running joke about Spotted Dick with my good friend in England, CG. The name of this English treat does not evoke the snickers it does over on this side of the pond.

And yes, CG, I had to buy it.

Organic Matresses

I think the whole "organic" thing has been marketed to death, don't you think? Now we have organic matresses. Wow. Are they stuffed with pot leaves? A good night sleep is guaranteed. On second thought... orgaSmic mattresses would be a better marketing theme;)

Wall Street

...Wall Street is at it again. They are using obscene bonuses to attract what they think is "key" talent in the industry. Are they out of their fucking minds? Please tell me now in the hell they can be so talented if they drive everything into the ground... and then have the audacity to whine to the government and tax payers that they need to be bailed out.

I am perfectly capable of driving companies into the ground. AND.. I will do it for a lot less.

Prosti-TOTS

My brother-in-law called this type of pageant "Prosti-TOTS." I laughed my ass off, but then became sad for the little girls who don't know any better and don't have anybody sticking up for them. They are being exploited by the very people who claim to "love" them. Poor little girls...

What kind of sick parent sells out their daughter for this shit???? ....and mentally justify it? There is something twisted about dressing up a 5 year old child to take on the mature atributes of a grown woman, and then parade her in front of a bunch of strangers to be "judged" like she is nothing more than a piece of meat. Let's not even talk about the guy in the back row beating off to this legalized child porn show.

Sick....
