A "Right To Health Care?"

Fantastic article by Neal Boortz on the topic at Townhall.com

Excerpt:

"A typical column runs some 800 words.
For some subjects, that’s far too many. One case in point: your “right” to health care.
...
Therefore, you have no “right” to health care.
Deal with it.
Point made in only 200 words. That’s short and sweet."

What IS A "Billion?"

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases:
1 - A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
2 - A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
3 - A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
4 - A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5 - A billion dollars ago was ONLY 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate our government is spending it!

While this thought is still fresh in your brain, let's take a look at New Orleans.

It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (Dem, of course) is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, but what does it mean?

Let's break it down into more personal impact, shall we?
A - If you are one of 484, 674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), then you would get $516 , 528. Not too shabby.
B - If you have one of the 188, 251 homes in New Orleans, you get $1, 329, 787. Getting better, isn't it?
C - If you are a family of four, your family gets $2, 066, 012.

Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your freakin calculators broken?!?

So, the next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want him/her spending YOUR tax money. And it doesn't matter which party she/he belongs to - earmarks and pork are doled out collectively by all of them.

FACT:
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely NO national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Moms could stay home to raise the kids without worrying about buying enough groceries to feed the big families. What happened?

DNC Announces End To Campaign Strife

Tired of the bad press over public back-stabbing, eye-gouging and other primary skills by "I-Couldn't-Tell-The-Truth-If-My-Life-Depended-On-It" Kkklinton and "My-Wife-and-Pastor-Hate-America" Osamabama, the DNC resorted to an appeal to the Christopher Reeves Gene Therapy institute to help them get out of the mess they are in. Welcome to the public stage Uber Dem Candidate!

Fact: Conservatives Give More Than Liberals

Interesting research that proves that those with conservative values out-give in all ways those with liberal values. I saw a teaser on Fox News that made the claim and did a little internet digging and came up with a good overview article at http://www.beliefnet.com/story/204/story_20419_1.html

I think I see another interesting hypothesis from it. Seriously, no "tongue in cheek" intended. Conservatives are good at giving away their own money and choosing who they think is worthy of it. Liberals are far better and more comfortable in giving away other people's money and not having to make a value judgement on who is worthy; they'd rather let "the government" make the decision for them.

Interesting.

Scientists Warn That Botox May Migrate to Brain!

Article posted at Bloomberg suggests that botox injected may migrate directly to major organs in close proximity to the injection site. Scientists have asked the junior Senator from Massachussetts to come in for a "little look-see..." No word yet on whether Mr. Skary will comply, but it WOULD go a long ways towards explaining his dynamicly riveting oratory style, now, wouldn't it?

DNC Candidates Hit the Wall

Shrillary Clinton "misspoke" (where I grew up we called it a 'bald-faced lie - but we weren't Dems) about having to duck and cover when she arrived in Bosnia to single-handedly resolve the conflict.

Ballsack Osamabama "misspoke" (where I grew up we called it a 'bald-faced lie - but we weren't protected by the msm) about many of his supported radical-left positions and how his parents met during the Selma marches.

This primary season is extremely entertaining, I mean, how often do we get to watch not just the training wheels but the entire propulsion system fall off during the run?

Official "Food of the Senate" Unveiled

Senate Majority Leader, Harried Reed, (Tin-foil Ass-hat, Nevada), announced Thursday that although previously undesignated, the majority party had selected an official food product as representative to Senate legislative efforts due to a 'minor' campaign war chest donation by Armour Meat Products, Inc. Unimpressed, President George W. Bush immediately promised to veto the designation. Said W; "America can no longer afford your dinner bill."

Dick Morris Lists Hillary's Lies

Former Clinton advisor Dick Morris writes a pretty damning article re Hillary in Real Clear Politics. The entire article is worth the read regardless of who you support.

Excerpt:

"Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here's her scorecard:

Admitted Lies

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)

Whoppers She Won't Confess To

• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?"

The Hillinator Arives in Tuzla

According to the latest version of the story that Senator Hillary Rectum Clinton is telling - the then first-lady and specially appointed Presidentially Ambassador and envoy to all combat-zones, '...arrived amidst a maelstorm of machine gun fire, incoming mortors, and at least three inbound nuclear missiles that I saw...' attack upon Tuzla. Bailing out of Air Force One to 'protect the lives of the horribly outmatched and under-manned military, Secret Service, media cotillion and uh, oh yeah, my daughter too; I couldn't wait for the mobile stairway so I swan-dived into a machine gun nest. I grabbed a helmet and manned the gun - a ummm, 376 caliber auto with belt feed as I remember - and laid down a withering counter attack. I did this to give those poor troops a chance to regroup. When they didn't, I nearly ran out of ammo, and had to limit myself to single trigger pulls to conserve. Thankfully, the French, German and Russian troops arrived when I was down to a pair of shells and we were able to mop up the remainder of the resistance. Following that, I was able to negotiate a peace between the Bosnians and the Serbs and eliminated the need for armed conflict. Yessir, it was a good thing I was there...'
