No Shot For You!

You know that as of late, I don't usually do political posts here. But this is just too gawddam important. The word needs to spread. And even though I am but a tiny zit on the ass of the blog world, my blog voice shall utter these uh, ... utterances:

HHS would become federal giant under Senate plan

[...]
That's because Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would be awarded unprecedented new powers under the proposal, including the authority to decide what medical care should be covered by insurers as well as the terms and conditions of coverage and who should receive it.

"The legislation lists 1,697 times where the secretary of health and humans services is given the authority to create, determine or define things in the bill," said Devon Herrick, a health care expert at the National Center for Policy Analysis.

For instance, on Page 122 of the 2,079-page bill, the secretary is given the power to establish "the basic per enrollee, per month cost, determined on average actuarial basis, for including coverage under a qualified health care plan."

The HHS secretary would also have the power to decide where abortion is allowed under a government-run plan, which has drawn opposition from Republicans and some moderate Democrats.

And the bill even empowers the department to establish a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation that would have the authority to make cost-saving cuts without having to get the approval of Congress first.

[...]

And on and on...

See, one of the things the fuckheads in the senate are trying to do here is not necessarily implement any real changes, but rather not implement any changes, then endow the power upon yet another fucking czar granting them unlimited authority by virtue of congressional approval.

So yes. Taxes will increase for everyone. And I mean every-fucking-one, not just "The Rich™". We'll see it in higher prices for goods and services even if it isn't a particular line item on the pay stub.
Rates will increase for already already covered individuals, while coverage will decrease.
Uninsured will have minimal coverage, but their lifestyle as well as medical treatments will be dictated by the Death Czar.

This fucked up shit is being steamrolled up our asses by politicians who have more interest in furthering their careers than they do in their constituents desires and everyone is going to pay dearly.

Judge: White Conn. firefighters must be promoted

Good. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination.

This should never had to go to court in the first place. These people should have scored the tests and given the appropriate promotions without ever reading the names or knowing which belonged to whom in the first place.

A Pat On The Back

Homeowner kills invader, the second such case in three days

For the second time in three days a home invasion suspect has been shot and killed by a Las Vegas homeowner.

Police say that about 2 a.m. Saturday two armed suspects broke into a northwest valley home near Durango and Grand Teton drives.

One of the suspects grabbed a 13-year-old boy. The noise alerted his father who grabbed a handgun and waited for the suspects to make their appearance.

Police say the suspect released the boy and walked toward the room where the man was poised with his weapon. The father then jumped out and shot the suspect once in the chest, killing him. The other suspect fled and remains at large.

On Thursday, another homeowner gunned down an intruder after he kicked open the man's door near Rancho and Vegas drives.

Rancho and Vegas. One of the shittiest parts of town.

Anyway, glad to hear this. Another thing the economy has done for us is drastically increase the number of home invasions.
However, there are a few bad guys thinking twice when news like this gets around.

A- Good for them. Hopefully they can find more important things to deal with like traitors and war criminals at Guantanamo Bay, fags getting married, and hiring libtard bitches like Ruth Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor to sway decisions.

And, B- Enough of the p.c. bullshit already, huh? Geebus.

They probably wouldn't mind the name so much if it was a winning team.

Yes, I had jury duty yesterday, hence the silence. Try as I might, I couldn't come up with a good excuse to not go, and what with all the bitching I do about the sad state our nation and it's government is in, I figgered it was my civic duty to show up. I don't want to be a hypocrite you know.

What a boring fucking day though. Sitting there waiting to find out whether or not you'll even get called - let alone selected. I did get a good chunk of a novel read though.

Golf Funny

Via email:

Off the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball.

After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in the hands of a skeleton!

Joe immediately called out to his friend, "Jack, I've got trouble down here!"

"What's the matter?" Jack asked from the edge of the ravine.

"Bring me my wedge," Joe shouted. "You can't get out of here with an eight iron"

Dirty Little Miss Kalifronia

This post isn't about a Miss California pageant. Nor is it about the Miss U.S.A ("U.S.A! ... U.S.A! ... U.S.A! ...") pageant.

Neither is it about the Miss California USA Pageant suing a Miss California contestant to get back money they gave her for fake tits, nor is it about the counter-suit filed by the Miss California contestant against Miss California USA Pageant for religious discrimination.

No, this post is about something I heard on one of the local radio stations this morning as I was getting ready for work. The morning D.J.s were discussing the likelihood that both parties dropped their suits due to the revelation of an "extremely graphic" home video of the aforementioned contestant:

"After being shown the hardcore home video - in which she apparently engages in a solo sex act - Prejean dropped her million-dollar-plus demands, and bolted from the negotiating table."

BWAAAAHHH!!!! Now that's funny.

But there's the best part. The morning show boys were of course, making the usual assorted comments about flying solo, self pleasure and so on, when one of them piped up and said she was playing "Vagina Hero". BWAAAHH!!! I laughed my ass off.


That is all.

Pool of beer
Austrian beer lovers are being given the opportunity to swim in a pool of their favourite drink.

Spa owners in Starkenberg, Austria are filling three pools with 42,000 pints of lager, must to the delight of their customers.

They claim beer can treat skin conditions, blood circulation and help cure wounds.

Bathers can even drink from the 13ft beer pools if they wish, although there are several bars around the poolside promising a cleaner pint.

Head barman Markus Amann, 23, said: "These pools really can help some health problems - but if they don't work for you, you'll probably have drunk enough not to care about it anymore."

I get first!

I would like to get in, have my fill, then get the fuck out. I don't want to be in there after everyone starts pissing in it.

Police find burned body at Las Vegas intersection
Police say they found a burned body on a mattress at a Las Vegas intersection.

Las Vegas police say the mattress found at the intersection of Cheyenne Avenue and Pecos Road on Monday was also heavily burned.

The man has not yet been identified.

Police spokesman Ted Snodgrass says detectives found a suitcase next to the body, indicating the man may have been homeless.

Snodgrass says detectives think the man may have had a medical condition and that he fell asleep while smoking a cigarette.

Well, I guess he didn't burn his house down.
