If you vote for it......

(amazingly, as of yet, no Democrats have backed this resolution....)

Over the past few weeks, members of Congress and the American people have come to know the details of the Administration's proposed health care plan. Call it whatever you like, I believe this proposal is nothing more than government-run health care. As a physician, I am amazed at the number of bureaucrats in this House who are quick to claim a government-run health care plan is the reform this country needs. In response to this, I have offered a resolution that will offer members of Congress an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, and urge their colleagues who vote for legislation creating a government-run health care plan to lead by example and enroll themselves in the same public plan.

Under the current draft of the Democrat healthcare legislation, members of Congress are curiously exempt from the government-run health care option, keeping their existing health plans and services on Capitol Hill. If Members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way. Public servants should always be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating, and I challenge the American people to demand this from their representatives.

Together we will work to ensure that any plan that is good enough is for American families is good enough for every member of Congress.

Down Goes Boxer......Down Goes Boxer!

A picture (or in this case, a video) is worth 1,000 words.

So, in review, here we had Barbara Boxer, D-CA, seen below, who recently said this:



.....just had this happen to her:



If you didn't believe in karma before, you certainly do now.

The Czabe Says: 'Go Ahead, Make My Day!'

Steve Czaban, the greatest sports talk radio host the world has ever known (why yes, i do accept paypal donations)....chimes in, quite sharply - complete with sword, on the ObamaCare health care reform bill...

Obama is a "Twit"? Say it isn't so!

Some entertaining responses to my earlier blog on Twitter, one of my favorites is someone bringing to my attention that Barack Obama is on Twitter. With 1,754,447 'followers', twitting their lives away.

This confirms a lot of my earlier hunches....in that Twitter is somehow partially responsible for the current state of our country, as well as those who are using it.....

Of course I'm being humorously sarcastic...............or am I?

Are you a Twit?

So what is it with Twitter, anyway? At first my thought is, what is worse than someone who thinks they are special enough to type and upload constant babble about what they are doing right now or thinking all day long? What kind of person does this? I'm going to type all day what I'm doing, like anybody gives a flip! Who is going to actually read that?

Well there is something worse than that. Finding out that there are thousand upon thousands of people that do care and who actually DO read it! Whom apparently have even less to do than the person who is tweet-twatting-whatever you want to call it. These people want to read all day about what other people are doing or saying.....

Is there anyone out there doing anything productive anymore? I mean seriously....is Twitter taking off because of the unemployment rate? Or did Twitter cause the high unemployment rate? Maybe that's why gas prices are going down again, no one is doing anything but sitting around Twitting.....



None of your **** business.

You know I can't stand the guy, but Kanye West actually cracked me up commenting recently about Twitter:

“DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A F****** FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!”


Hilarious.

I have to add this question, as well - why does everyone that uses Twitter avoid the obvious? If you use Twitter, you are obviously a "Twit".

Creative they are with other ways to say it like tweet, tweeter, twat, this and that, but if you are a user of Twitter, that makes you a "Twit". There's no getting around it!

So, how does this relate to the Double Standard, you ask? I'll tell you, fine reader asking such a wonderful question. In this country, so caught up in privacy and the screaming at any invasion of it (e.g. hey don't watch what i do on the internetz i may be doing something illegal, that's an invasion of my privacy!) these same people will turn around and Twit all day so that everyone knows their business, and they can know and stalk everyone else's business just the same.

And so, in that sense, I can therefore go ahead and file this, under yet another example of the Double Standard.

Now I'm sure many of you out there use Twitter, or know a "friend" who "tweets", and some may be all up in arms now because I had to comment on this and extend my opinion on this latest infatuation by you creepy stalkers.....I'm sorry, Terrific Wonderful Individuals Twitting in our Society (TWITS). So take it easy, I'm just making an observation.

Utilities Scramble to Meet Power Needs of Electric Cars

Finally an article posing one of several questions in regards to the electric car craze. The first being, are our utilities companies capable of handling such an increase?

This TIME article discusses the topic:

http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1910444,00.html?cnn=yes

I follow that up with questions in regards to our grid, as well, which I doubt in its current state, is capable.

Of course I'm sure while we all pay higher power bills this could be another excuse to raise our rates, again - 'well we've got to prepare for the electric cars and make improvements'.

I also pose the question that I have still not yet seen an answer to, nor even asked. I imagine a good portion of the market for automakers trying to sell these now that we want to just totally rush the entire industry in this direction - will be those living in condos, townhomes, apartments, etc. Just how are these types of owners/residents supposed to plug their cars in, when they buy them? Has anyone thought about this? Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?

This Week In "Barry Goes To........"

Ol' Barry threw the first pitch of the All-Star game last night in St. Louis. You can watch it HERE. There is debate as to why half the crowd booed. Whether it was because of his White Sox jacket or because they just disapprove of what he's doing in office. I'll let you all decide.

By the way, Barry, it's Comiskey Park, not 'Cominskey Field"....I'm sure that a long time die hard White Sox fan like yourself would know this.....I mean unless of course........you.....nah, can't be....

Meanwhile, he also apparently met with the.........Burger King?




Oh I'm sorry, that's Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Apparently he's not a fan of the golden arches.

Sorry about the mixup, there, Burger King.

Prompter Crasher! Obama Speech Goes On


The more you watch this, the more you realize it could not have picked a better time to collapse. The current debate is did it a) commit suicide as it couldn't take it anymore or b) perhaps fall after passing out from the boredom of hearing the same thing over and over and over again.....

Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Glenn Beck: Down a Czar

Fun commentary above by Mr. Beck on the Car Czar stepping down, and who's going to take over (i.e. Ron Bloom). Because who better to replace a guy who had no idea what he was doing, to now help fix an auto industry that was ruined by unions than a guy who...............headed up and ran a union?

My only comment is, I guess Rattner figures his job's done now......GM just left bankruptcy court so really, what's left to do? Other than make it worse, and the new guy can take care of that.

The bigger question I must ask is, now that we know where Sherman ended up, where exactly is Mr. Peabody these days?

I like how the people on his left only get a quick glance after that point......excuse us, while the President will now simply speak to the people on his right where the working teleprompter is.

Even more entertaining is the CNN news anchors quick to give him tips on how he should prepare for his speeches and have backup notes. Really??? Have we come to the conclusion now that our esteemed President needs Speech Class-level pointers?

Thanks for the heads up, Wolf.

Hey maybe we can hire people to clean that up and claim them as jobs created by the President. And now he'll of course have to buy another one, as he can't survive without it, which will in turn, stimulate the economy. All part of his plan.
