So CMBlake had up a post regarding Halloween costumes, specifically Captain Spaulding. If you look in the comments, Lobo posted a little video of the Captain.
I think that's the best stand in for Uncle Sam under the Obama regime that I ever did see.

Unaltered
I've always had a thing for Asian women, ever since I was stationed in Korea. I saw very few of them with plastic surgery.
Oh, there are always a few who have it, but they're in the minority, especially compared to what I see here in California.

Satori
I have just realized why things are turning to shit so fast.
The greatest generation - those who fought WW2, both on the battlefield and back here at home - were the last generation that had a winnowing of smart versus stupid.Up until the early 1900s, nature and a frontier allowed for that winnowing to occur naturally enough that it was barely noticed. The smart survived, the stupid died off, and the race was continually improved, and we were a nation of pioneers. That gave us the spirit they needed to pass along to their kids (who fought WW1) and their grandkids (who fought WW2).
But when the League of Nations failed and the United Nations outlawed war, that gave the greatest generation and their kids (the Baby Boomers*) and their grandkids (Generation "X" ) the chance to relax and since nature was conquered, and medical science was saving kids from accidents that would have killed them off in centuries past, there was suddenly no serious penalty for being stupid.
The teachers started seeing more stupid kids showing up in the classrooms, and had to learn to adapt until the stupids started becoming teachers themselves. This, perhaps not coincidentally, happened at about the same time as universities were starting to be taught by the baby boomers (the late 70s) and jokes about getting degrees for "underwater basket weaving" happened along to cover up the multiplicity of degree programs in some of the most inane areas imaginable, culminating in the current jokes about "a doctorate in Albanian Lesbian Poetry of the late Triassic".
It has gone from being merely acceptable to be stupid, through enforced association (peer pressure graduation), to being the eagerly sought for "norm" ("Everything I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten").
But since there has been no natural weeding of the stupid, they have begun to outnumber us, to the point where a majority think that money comes from the government and happiness is a big screen TV.
Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity. -- Robert A. Heinlein

I read this story...
It was a sob story by some San Francisco residents who have had their insurance cancelled.
My response?
More laugh-a-licious goodness:
San Francisco architect Lee Hammack says he and his wife, JoEllen Brothers, are “cradle Democrats.” They have donated to the liberal group Organizing for America and worked the phone banks a year ago for President Obama’s re-election.
....
The couple — Lee, 60, and JoEllen, 59 — have been paying $550 a month for their health coverage — a plan that offers solid coverage, not one of the skimpy plans Obama has criticized. But recently, Kaiser informed them the plan would be canceled at the end of the year because it did not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. The couple would need to find another one. The cost would be around double what they pay now, but the benefits would be worse.
My response?
More laugh-a-licious goodness:
I asked Hammack to send me details of his current plan. It carried a $4,000 deductible per person, a $40 copay for doctor visits, a $150 emergency room visit fee and 30 percent coinsurance for hospital stays after the deductible. The out-of-pocket maximum was $5,600.Lose-lose-lose! WOOHOO!
This plan was ending, Kaiser’s letters told them, because it did not meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. “Everything is taken care of,” the letters said. “There’s nothing you need to do.”
The letters said the couple would be enrolled in new Kaiser plans that would cost nearly $1,300 a month for the two of them (more than $15,000 a year).
And for that higher amount, what would they get? A higher deductible ($4,500), a higher out-of-pocket maximum ($6,350), higher hospital costs (40 percent of the cost) and possibly higher costs for doctor visits and drugs.

The wages of feminism
Now apparently include Vaginal Reconstructive Surgery.
Look ladies, I'm about to lay down some serious advice for you, mm'kay? If you can offer your man something else besides just sex, you don't need to have any doctor take a scalpel to your cooter.
I mean, let's just break down what this surgery means, shall we? Women, apparently so worried about what men thing of their va-jay-jay, are going under the knife to have plastic surgery on their genitalia in order to make it more attractive to men.
So what these women are saying is that they only important thing they have to offer men, the thing that they are spending thousands of dollars on improving as a way of attracting a mate, is their pussy.
I want you to think about that. This is what the sexual "revolution" has wrought. This is the end result of the feminist movement, that supposedly "freed" women from the bondage and slavery of the oppressive patriarchy. "I'm my own woman! I'm free to do whatever I want! And I'm going to slice my vagina in order to get men to notice be, because I'm free from all that silly man-centered stuff!"
Gosh, aren't we all modern and liberated and stuff?
And of course men, freed from their responsibilities of being a husband and a father by a society that tells them they are unimportant and expendable, are constantly offered a revolving course of rejuvenated pussy, which they will use and discard as they wish. Why bother supporting a woman and kids when you can just get rid of the old, tiresome wench and get a new one? Yay Liberalism! Yay Feminism!
Welcome to our world, folks.

The death of the medical system
So, Obama and his flunkies are attacking a cancer patient who's losing her health insurance thanks to Obamacare. Crap like that is par for the course for the Obama regime, and we shouldn't expect anything less from a group of people who only care about collecting power for themselves. Hey, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few million eggs, right?
But here's where it gets even worse for everyone - that cancer patient had a 2% chance of living this far. TWO. PERCENT. And while it's a joyful thing that she's lived this long, it's also extremely important for medical research, because here we have an actual living example of what went right in cancer treatment. It's a case study. It's an opportunity to look at how this woman was treated, and apply the concepts to other folks who have cancer to see if we can extend their lives or develop a cure.
And it's not going to happen very often under Obamacare. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the incidents of people getting the treatment that this woman was getting are going to vanish. Gone. Kaput.
And all the knowledge gained will stop as well.
Thanks, Obamacare!

Cooch de Sarlac
The Ragin' Mrs injured herself while exercising, and she's been on crutches for a little while. Tonight, we were doing some grocery shopping and a lady who was walking perpendicular to us made eye contact with the Ragin' Mrs, then sped up and tried to cross in front of us. Normally not a big deal, except that she didn't cross fast enough, and the tip of the Mrs' crutch came down smack dab on the rear of this woman's flip-flop, which came off her foot with a loud *POP*. It caused the Mrs to stagger a bit until she could regain her balance.
But what really got to me was the fact that the slow-crossing woman threw a bitch-hate glare at my wife before grabbing her sandal and going on her way.
Listen, you self-righteous bitch: Either slow down and allow my injured wife to pass, or speed up and get the fuck out of our way. My wife can't stop on a dime. Nor can she speed up without turning into a pole-vaulter down the store isle. My wife didn't try to get your sandal with the tip of her crutch, she just wants to get to the checkout isle. So quit your bitchier-than-thou attitude and get the fuck out of our way!
I told the Ragin' Mrs. that the bitch probably needed a good fucking, but no guy in his right mind would touch that woman, given that based on her attitude, her cooch has the strong possibility of possessing the various attributes of a snapping turtle.
