Working Day V.2

Walkway needs gravel, then sand, then pavers.

My back will need a bath, then beer, then rest.

See ya later.

Political Ads

I'm with Ace and SondraK - if the Republican Stupid Party had any balls at all, they'd run this picture on every campaign ad this year.

I may just make a graphic with that picture and send it to my Congresscritter, free of charge.

Taxpayer funded Viagra for convicted sex offenders

Another health care moment brought to you by the Democrat American Communist Party.

Fewer jobs?  Yep.  Both John Deere and Caterpillar are saying that this tragedy of a bill will cost them money.  About $250,000,000 between the both of them.

A quarter of a million BILLION dollars. That's a lot of jobs.  As the economy tanks and unemployment numbers rise, remember to thank your Democrat friends for your economic misery!

Taking Chance

I finally saw the movie last night.  It was hard to watch, but I felt like I had to.  I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried.  They did the entire subject justice, and treated it with honor.  If every movie Hollywood put out treated the military in such a fashion, I'm betting more people would go to the movies.  

Rent it and watch it.  

Weapons-Grade Logic

From my Main Man in the Pugetropolis, Phil at Random Nuclear Strikes:

So far over this last year, Congress has stated multiple times in multiple voices that Health Care is a “Right” and I have a “Responsibility” to buy insurance to cover my medical expenses so that my fellow citizens are not burdened by them. This was backed up by the President of the United States when he signed the legislation passed by the Senate in December and the House of Representatives on Sunday.

The new law also states that if I do not live up to my responsibilities of purchasing said insurance, that I will have a fine levied upon me.

Not in the most leftist history class was I ever instructed that fines could be levied upon “Rights”.

I'm going to be beating people about the head and shoulders with that all friggin' day long.

Quote of the day

Pulled from here:

As Alexis De Tocqueville observed: “Socialism is a new form of slavery.” 

Damn skippy, Son.  And this country just got enslaved.  I expect that the battle to free ourselves from Government slavery is going to be twice as bloody as the first civil war.

I agree 100%

With Instapundit's prediction:

“Chicago Breaking News reported late last night that former Chicago schools chief and current Secretary of Education Arne Duncan manipulated a system to favor powerful political allies by placing their children in the schools of their choice. The discovery of a list, the existence of which had been long denied by the city, and its composition of mainly high-powered political figures calls into question the appeals system used to reconsider applications that had been denied by the top Chicago-area schools.”

Prediction: There’ll be special “lists” for powerful people who need kidney transplants, too.

Congress already has their own health care plan, and it doesn't look a damn thing like the hell that just got forced onto us.  You're damn skippy they'll have a list for organ transplants.  Little Suzy needs a kidney?  Fuck little Suzy, big bad Democrat Donor is getting that thing.

Count on it.

Hell, at this point I'm actually contemplating getting an RN degree once I retire just so that I can provide health care for my wife, because I damn sure don't trust the government to do it.

November

What we do this year, leading up to the election, is just as important as that travesty that happened Sunday. Call your representative.  Call the GOP.  Call your Senators.  Get the message out.  Hammer them with it.

What’s in a Big Mac?  Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!That’s what’s in a Big Mac. We have got to understand that saying NO! to this socialism is admirable and essential, but that from now on there has to be a counter-narrative to what these Marxists are selling, because like it or not the human brain is wired for stories — that’s how we learn (and why the real fight is not for Washington but rather Hollywood — but that’s a story for another time.)

If we want to win on health care, or any other issue, we need to have an answer to what they are selling and that answer needs to be as simple and comprehensive as the Big Mac slogan.

Our position on health care?  Two tax incentives, health accounts, crossing state lines, tort reform, competition on an auto insurance bun. And if we don’t learn how to do this we will lose.

I'm in the process of composing letters to my Senators, and I'm still having a hard time writing without YOU FUCKINGSHITTYFUCKFUCKASSHOLES leaping out from underneath my fingers.  Call it a work in progress.  But it has to be done.  Otherwise, it's all over but the shooting, and I can see that coming real quick unless this headlong dive into socialism is repealed.

And I'm still buying lots of ammo.

Communist Cockholsters

So, the Democrat American Communist Party just voted to flush America down the toilet.

So noted.

As for all the communist cockholsters who voted their lords and masters into place to get us to this point?  The only bright note in this entire sad saga is that they'll be dying of neglect in their government ward just like I will.  I only hope I have a chance to piss on their grave before I go.

Contacting my Congresscritter

His business hours are Mon-Fri.  There were so many people calling his office today that I got nothing but busy signals until about 7:30 PM.

Yeah.  People are pissed.

New Walkway

I don't know how many cubic yards of dirt I just excavated by hand from my old walkway.  I'm covered in enough Tiger Balm to gag a horse.

Gah.  I'm not 25 any more, yannow?
