Only Happens When Those With Start being Like The Rest Of Us Without

Then

Back in the early 1990's, when President Clinton tried to reform health care in the US, the middle class who were happy with their health care went spastic over the idea of a more national plan. Even the slightest whiff of Socialism has most Americans ripping their eyes out and gnashing their teeth! The old ad above got it almost right. Instead of a government plan being responsible for lack of care, it is private insurers that have raised costs and cut coverage.

Suddenly, these many years later, the middle class are finding themselves being screwed out of health care.  Some how, all those "falling through the cracks" have become a concern. I hope all of you morons from the 90's who opposed any reforms are enjoying the massive bills and lack of care you are receiving now.

Now

I knew this a long time ago--once those with started feeling the pain, the real action would be demanded. Don't expect that action to come from John McCain!

All I can say is, "Harry and Louise--go fuck yourselves!"

Only a few peach trees remained but red apples and yellow apples were everywhere. There is nothing like the absolute joy of climbing a tree, sitting in the branches and plucking a ripe apple to eat. I remember the day as hot and sunny. While records show the temperature during the day was around 75 degrees Fahrenheit and the skies cloudy, my memory could be faulty but I remember the sun beating down on me from blue skies while I gril...

A Mention In The Independent

-
Too bad I stumbled upon an email from The Independent's Tehran correspondent, Angus McDowall too late. The email ended up in my Yahoo email which I only use as a spam trap. An article was published today about the Iranian public's ho-hum reaction to the "Holocaust" cartoon exhibition. I was pleased to see that I was treated fairly. "The cartoons included US, European, Brazilian, Korean and Chinese entries. However, the US cartoonist David Baldinger said that his drawing "in no way ridiculed the Holocaust". It is best to let people determine what is propaganda and what is not. Most of the time intelligent people know the difference. Sane people, I would think, don't place value on government statements refuting the Jewish Holocaust's historical fact. I doubt Iranian president Ahmadinejad even believes his statements. He is engaging in what I would call "political mooning". A bare ass sticking in the world's face gets a lot of atten...
