Not auto-tuned. That's one of Limbaugh's comedic musical dudes. This bill ain't dead. It's like a cockroach. A zombie f***in' cockroach.

[NightmarePatrol]

That's Limbaugh singing?

[lifefeedsonlife]

Nah - some comedian. He does songs that show up on Rush's show regularly. Can't think of his name. I think it's the same dude that did the Barack the Magic Negro song. I don't find him all that funny myself. Don't listen to Rush all that much either.

[NightmarePatrol]

I never listen to Rush or the opposite end either.  Whoever did it sounds like Obama, at least to me. But then I've never heard Obama sing (IF he can sing)

A take on the Obama Fox interview from freeskier. Whatever that is.

[gore range]

....I saw this one today-

"You're going to get a health insurance plan written by a committee  whose Chairman has publicly stated that he doesn't understand it,

passed  by a Congress that has literally not read it

but yet has made damn  certain to exempt themselves from it,

to be signed by a president that  also has not read it,

with funding administered by a treasury secretary  who cheated on his income taxes,

all to be overseen by a surgeon  general who is obese,

and financed by a country that is $14 Trillion in  debt to begin with and adding $2 Trillion a year more in red ink per  year BEFORE this bill adds even more red ink to it.

And it will  be delivered to you by a House of "Representatives" that won't even  actually vote on it,

headed by a Speaker who is on record saying that  they'll have to, "pass it to see what's in it."

BOHICA - That's all I got.

....and there's no KY.....

[NightmarePatrol]

Well the vote is coming down to the wire. By this time next week out president will either be hero (to his own party anyhow) or will be the earliest lame duck the oval office has ever seen.

That's my opinion for what it's worth.

[lifefeedsonlife]

That's actually the chatter around Washington and in Congress. A favorable vote will "save" the Obama Presidency.

Whatever.

Reform is a good idea. This brand of reform (they're voting on the Senate version which includes the caveats to Nebraske and Louisiana) SUCKS. If it was so f***ing great - why would those bribes need to be in there in the first place?

From what I understand - there's gonna be a lot of folks marching in Washington this weekend. (One group will be an anti-war protest who might meet up with the anti-healthcare bill folks - which might prove interesting.) I also understand folks from Sharon are being encouraged to gather at Dahlkemper's offices there. I imagine some folks will do the same in Meadville. (I'll head over too I think.)

This is the first domino. If it passes - so will the  government takeover of ALL student loans. (It's in the works - think of the ramifications.) Next will be Cap and Trade. Card check will rear its head again.

I don't think folks are really considering what this means in the long run. taken separately - "Hey, not such a bad thought!" - but when you put it all together . . .

I'm back in the USSA.

I guess the KY tax was obfuscated in the bill. So yes, KY will cost more because it is a medical product.

Here is one to ponder.... I just emailed this to a leader of a large Coalition of Veterans....
 
 
"John,
 
In all of this Chit ( first letter changed for this forum)...did it ever flash that 2 congresses we have gone through and even though we had OVER 50% of Congress Sign onto HRes111 and can't even get the resolution out of Committee but..... the Dems think it is ok to Hijack about 1/6th of our ecomomy on a 51% vote WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT???"
------------------------------------------------------------
HRes111 has to do with forming a House Sub-Committee on Prisoner of War and Missing In Action Affairs. The 110th congress had 280 House Cosigners on it and they wouldn't let it out of committee. Now we have 249 and counting in the 111th. With 435 members of Congress existing...I think we went well ove 50% both Congresses.....

Went down to Dahlkemper's Meadville offices at 9am this morning. I know Huber said there was going to be a rally at her offices in Erie this morning. Nothing was happening in Meadville this morning at 9. I took my 6-year-old with me. I wanted her to see Democracy in progress. Apparently - democracy was quiet in Meadville this morning - or my watch is set too early.

We talked about Social Security on the way in. After I explained it - she said it wasn't very fair. So - either she's too naive to understand the adult world - or the adult world we've created is really stupid.

Anyway - we didn't have signs or anything. But she wrote a note before we left. She taped it to Ms. Dahlkemper's door downtown.

It read: "Please don't pass the healthcare bill. I won't be able to pay for it when I grow up." I explained why. She said it was OK to put the sign there. She's a smart cookie.

What they're voting on!

[NightmarePatrol]

I wonder if the average person has ANY idea how much information about them would be flowing through government hands if this passes. If it does there going to be a boom in government IT jobs and purchasing. I wonder if they'll do anything at all to revamp the hideously outdated HCFA-1500 and UB-92 forms. So many questions to ask, yet I hope I opportunity won't be there.
