Pay More. Get Less. Wait Longer.

doctorknotThe Senate is having a vote today, currently scheduled at 8pm, to see if they’ll proceed on debating the Disastercare bill.  They’ve been buying off fence-sitters left and right, and the tactic here is to get the ball rolling on the bill before everyone goes home and gets blasted by their constituents.  That nearly worked in the House, but Speaker Botox was more scary than the constituents a lot of Democrats betrayed with their vote on this monster.

I don’t care how they spin it.  Anyone who did anything to let this bill go forward will be at fault if it becomes law.  That includes the mislabeled Democrats in the Republican Party who helped it along, like Snowe.

I could go through the lengthy list of what this power grab will do if it passes, but its effect on health care in this country can be summed up in six words:

Pay more.  Get less.  Wait longer.

We’ve seen this in Massachusetts.  We’ve seen it in other countries with nationalized health care.  If we don’t defeat this bill, we’ll see it here too.  Rationed, lower quality health care that costs more so that the Democrats can have their power grab and Obama his giant legislative “accomplishment”.  All assertions to any benevolent intentions supporters may make to the contrary are just spin.  This bill is bad for America and for you.

A Public Service Annoucement for AGW Green

pillsAre you suffering from any of the following?

  • A skepticism of Anthropogenic Global Warming?
  • The delusion that randomly halting development in the guise of saving fruit flies is a farce?
  • An unjustifiable need to think before you act?
  • The inability to find the logic in not developing America’s resources when the whole world is doing just that with their own?
  • The completely irrational belief that there might be something wrong when Al Gore flies around in private jets, rides in limousines, and lives in a monstrous house, and then tells you that you need to live in a cottage and ride a unicycle to work?

If you do, then you could be suffering from Inconvenient Truth Disorder (IRD).  This insidious disorder affects more people every day, and it must be halted.  Fortunately, there is a cure:  AGW Green.

With AGW Green, you too can be an environmentalist.  Just two tablets a day, and suddenly, the belief that a fish is more important than keeping on the water to farmers in Northern California will make perfect sense.  In a few short weeks, you’ll be green, modern, and unquestioning in your devotion to Mother Earth.

Ask Al Gore if AGW Green is right for you.  Side effects may include…

  • The desire to wear Birkenstocks.
  • A need to use hyperbole to defend your positions, such as “A chunk of Brazilian rain forest the size of New York disappears every year!”, “The ice caps are going to melt and drown all the polar bears!”, or “If we don’t stop global warming, everyone will spontaneously combust!”
  • The overwhelming urge to pummel non-believers.
  • The possibility of embarrassment when your university is hacked and exposes your mentality for what it is.
  • The desire to halt construction on large projects to save field mice.
  • And an inability to stop protesting.

Don’t wait.  If you have symptoms of ITD, act now.

P.S.: Unlike that awful Soylent Green, AGW Green is only made from the finest green environmentalists.  World population growth is a problem, after all.

SEIU vs. The Boy Scouts: SEIU Loses

strikeFortunately, this ends badly for the SEIU.

As reported at Michelle Malkin, a Scout trying to earn his Eagle Scout rank did around 200 hours of clean-up work at a park with his troop.  This provoked a reaction from SEIU union thug Nick Balzano.  Volunteerism, it would appear, was not to be tolerated because it might cost union jobs.

Well, Nick Bozo got caught and called on it.  Now, he’s quit his leadership role over the furor after the SEIU spin attempt to get themselves out of it didn’t take.  As far as I’m concerned, good riddance.  We need union thugs like a hole in the head.

And Now, Some Mac in the News

rhinoHi all.  I’m back after my somewhat unplanned absence.  Suffices to say, all is reasonably well again.  And what a way to return than with the fact that The Mavericky One is back in the news.

It turns out he could have real problems in his primary.  Rather than Simcox closing in on him, it’s conservative J.D. Hayworth.  He’s within two points of him, according to Rasmussen.  If he would actually oppose McCain in the primary, we’d be set.

In other news too hilarious to make up, The American Spectator reports that McCain is openly disapproving of Lieberman and The Official Maverick Lapdog, Lindsey Graham (Pomeranian – SC) as they try to work out a “bipartisan” climate change bill.  It’s like McCain trying to distance himself from himself.

Seriously, when was the last time you remember Graham acting on his own in the Senate?  He’s either doing this on McCain’s behalf, or at his bidding.  It’s McCain trying to have his climate change scam cake without actually being caught eating it, because he’s a big global warming proponent.  He tried this with Warner in 2008, and this would be a variation on the theme.
