I got my annual premium increase notice. How about you? One question – Republicans controlled Washington for 6 years – if health insurance is so important to them, why didn’t they take care of things back then?

Audio: Tom Leher
December 3, 2009If you’re old and have a very good memory, you might remember this being sung by the cast of the old, short lived American version of David Frost’s That Was The Week That Was. Here is National Brotherhood Week, as performed by it’s composter, musical satirist and mathematician Tom Leher:

What I’m Thankful For this Thanksgiving
November 26, 2009- I’m thankful I’m not one of Sarah Palin’s kids.
- I’m thankful I don’t own the Detroit Lions.
- I’m thankful I haven’t lost my ideals by becoming a bought and paid for member of Congress.
- I’m thankful I’ve never been tempted to scream out a window “it’s my money and I want it now.”
- I’m thankful Black Friday only comes once a year and I don’t reside anywhere near a local mall.

New GOP Mantra: Reality Bites – Surrealism Rocks!
November 20, 2009What a week for the right wing meltdown crowd. A new national poll by Public Policy Polling shows that a majority of republicans feel ACORN stole the 2008 election for Barack Obama. DETAILS HERE ON TALKINGPOINTSMEMO.COM
And the far right wing news site Newsmax(which in a totally honest world would be known as Newsmin – actually Newsnon) reported a few days back that Sarah Palin told them she’s a big fan of Fox Host Glenn “Paranoia Strikes Deep” Beck and chuckled a bit while saying she would consider him as a vice presidential running mate if she were to get the republican presidential nomination in 2012.

All You Need Is Hate
November 19, 2009A new Anti-Obama slogan now on bumpers stickers, t-shirts and even teddy bears:
Psalm 109:8 reads: Let his days be few; and another take his office. The next line: Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. For more detail on this whole part of The Bible: http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2009/11/hate-speech-straight-from-bible-to-bumpers.html
We can all blather on and on about this madness, but I for one, shall not do so:

Coherent Sentences Please
November 18, 2009Something to ponder as you may begin your normal work day at a normal job with normal pay while Sarah Palin makes millions promoting her new book: asked if she believes in Muslim profiling, she said yes and her little statement included this suggestion: “simple things, like looking at his business card that had the secret code word for who it actually was he was working for.”
She’s making millions on this book deal. Millions. I’m not making millions at whatever it is I do to make a living. Most likely you don’t either at whatever it is you do. But this former “government leader” is making millions. She didn’t even complete one term in office as Governor of Freezer-Cold state.
Life is strange.

Fun Run
November 18, 2009Here in this town I live in, Rochester, NY, there is this fun, sort of fake race they do every year called The George Bailey Run. Everyone who signs up and plunks down $10 gets to run down busy streets in the downtown area re-enacting the famous scene in It’s a Wonderful Life where George Bailey is running through the snow wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Proceeds go to charity. I signed up this year. I asked the organizers on their Facebook page if we might run by The Blue Choice building downtown. I hear Mr. Potter will be there raising average folks premiums for the new year and I’d like to wish him a Merry Christmas.
(knock knock) “Hey Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter”
“And a Merry Christmas to you – in the Country Infirmary. Ha Ha Ha Ha – ah, the Holiday Season, a glorious time of the year to incur insult and injury upon the common rabble.”

The Root of All Things Evil in America
November 17, 2009As deplorable as our current “system” of health care is in America, it might be a good idea to explore the root of the problem, which is the root of most problems in America and which is, as they say, the root of all evil: money. Money, aka America’s achilles heel. Money is the reason we also have fraudulent wars with no bid contracts. Money talks and buys power and the rest of us – the peons - can go to hell.
The current state of the fading from glory United States of America: a Plutocratic Nightmare.

Bumper Sticker Logic?
November 16, 2009I saw another interesting right wing bumper sticker on the road today. It read: I Voted For A Hero. This meant, of course, the owner of the car voted for war hero John McCain and not Barack Obama. So it can be assumed that the philosophy behind this bumper sticker is that when voting for a for presidential candidate, a war hero is always more imminently qualified than a non war hero. Or, if I could take the liberty of stretching that a might further – the candidate with the more honorable military record is always the most fit to serve.
Does that mean the person driving that car voted for John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000?

Holier Than Thou On A Friday Night
November 15, 2009Last night, while coming back from a local downtown theater here in Rochester, New York, I was driving through the club district where 20 somethings hang out(the typical young adult phase most of us went through) and at the main intersection of this area, on both sides of the street, I noticed groups of young people holding very large signs that contained New Testament quotes. Apparently there just aren’t enough local Gay Pride parades to protest at to keep feeding young Fundies their much needed sense of moral superiority. Thus, they’ve now branched into trying to “save” young sinners enjoying a little clubbing on a friday night.
One thing to point out: this is the oh-so-small clubbing district in Rochester, NY and NOT some red light district in old New Orleans. If you want to help those in need of personal redemption, take a bus to New York City and protest in front of Goldman Sachs.
