So i've got the news on today and as usual it pissed me off.

In Egypt there happens to be a corrupt prime minister that has the entire country pissed off and demanding that he step down. I like it.

Directly after that is a piece on the new food tax that our own slimy congress is trying to pass. Now im getting pissed.

Then an article on the new healthcare bill, something about "death squads", doctors being told by the government to not treat the ill if there is a good chance they may die. Lunacy......

I know our government is pretty much broke, and they are doing everything they can to drum up money....But its a slippery slope when it comes to taxing and forcing a supposed "free" population to purchase a product.......

STOP! I think the world would have been a better place without Obama, Clinton, and Carter. I'm no Bushie either. But Reagan absolutely was the right guy - we should have made him king.

I am no Reagan fan. He was a big spender.
And big gubment spending eventually has to be paid by the taxpayer with big taxes.

Shame on you

"death squads" were invented by the wicked witch of the north, sara palin. there is no such thing.
toby is 74 and just had surgery to eliminate two trigger finger problems. the doctor's office cleared
it with medicare the same as they cleared my by-pass surgery 5 years ago.

a few days ago i had a test for trigger finger response, they put electricity through the nerves in the
arm to see if there is response to the finger tip. for me that was a rough test. 7 separate
needles in different parts of my arm. i am pretty ballsy when it comes to needles, but these hurt
like hell.

next week the surgeon and i will decide whether there can be an improvment to my numb fingers
if i have carpel tunnel surgery. the doctor and i will decide what the best course of treatment will
be, not some BS "death panel" or beaurocrat in washington.

if you are not familiar with these tests and surgeries, you will learn as you age a little. it will start
when you are in your 50's and you will learn about what happens to your body as different parts
wear out.

remember what willie nelson said, "i've out lived my ******."

My company's health insurance premiums went up by nearly 30%.

Thank you Idi Amin Jr. for lowering my cost for health care.

No, no...your costs went down. You just have trouble understanding the new health care reform.

Get it? Your costs went DOWN. Just keep saying it until you believe it.

Really?

I don't think most Americans could live under anarchy.

They're soft, spoonfed and coddled.

The lawlessness would force people into living some Mad Max meets Book of Eli world that they would fold like a house of cards. Nothing to protect them but what they had and nothing to eat but what they could carry or grow themselves.

Be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

Unless you have some necessary skill you won't get the commune pass either.

Like a Boy Scout...BE PREPARED!

You seem to have a pretty good knack for indie music, DMV, so in our commune you could bring some smooth vibes. Can you brew mead? I have my skills in the veggie and chicken growing arenas. I think we'll live.

Eh, I doubt it would go that route......But a mass show of displeasure on the status quo might get some reform legislature fast tracked.....

A mass show of displeasure at Steven Tyler's apparent "owning" of Jennifer Lopez on American Idol is getting a bigger reaction however.
