If It Can't Be Fixed - Jumk It

Clearly enough time has passed that we now know "beyond any reasonable doubt" that The Affordable Card Act passed by congress in March of 2010 is completely unworkable.  You remember what Nancy Pelosi said about the act when it was passed.  She said "We have to pass the thing so we can read it and find out what's in it".  Congress these days - - and there is no political bias in this remark, seems to be passing bills nobody has read, or else laced with last minute poisoned pen last minute amendments - - but in general congress does not do their job.  Not when they only work about a hundred days a year.  I've heard they virtually NEVER work more than three days a week, if we're lucky.  Tax payers pay their salaries, so before they ponthicate about "free stuff" for people tired of their full time jobs- perhaps they'd better look at themselves.  With every Federal Holiday, and George Washington's birthday is next week- - they take a whole week off- - and John Boehner seems insistent on every bit of vacation time congress has a right to - - be taken regardless of the circumstances or the general chaos our government is in.  Clearly the Health Care Act is unworkable and needs to be scrapped.  If it can't be fixed- - start over and get a new one.  This is what people, even me were saying back before the bill was even passed about "starting over with a blank piece of paper".  Reading a couple of Judy’s E mails, it seems not only are rates for many jacked up sky high and deductables may be higher, but the quality of care drops, as insurance companies spread themselves so thin with diverse services it “feels more like a government healthcare plan” like they have in Canada, which there are many complaints about.  Cardiologists or urologists are harder to come by and you may end up driving many miles to see one and appointments get stacked up with long waiting times.  Also the enrolement snaffoo only gets worse.  The problem hasn’t “worked itself out” in these passing months as liberals and Obama assured us.  Now I hear that new enrolement numbers for most state exchanges have dropped way off this month after peaking in January.  The “experts” said this would not happen.  They promised a gathering snow-ball effect of more and more people happily joining as time passed - - up to March.  It was Martin Luther King who said "Every time we come to congress with a problem we are told to Wait - - but the time for Waiting is passed.  We don't need some kind of a third world health care system in America.  I guess the words of the old song are true, "You don't know what you've got - until you lose it".   You can talk about the tea party ego but Obama's Ego is a large part of the problem itself, but this is a trait about his own personality that he's never been willing to recognise.

Sean Hannity today said that this is a dire time for America, and in this one thing I agree with him on.  Thanks to the tea party’s concerted effort over five years perhaps preceded by decades of planning, America is now a mess, economically, sociologically, and in so many other cultural ways.  But I’m also mad at Obama for not admitting that “If I can’t solve this problem then I’ll just turn the job over to someone else, who CAN.  As such I am also pretty angry at President Obama for his failure to recognize his own incompetency, due to ego pride, and all of that “Yes We Can” bull crap.   Today was “The Worst” day on Days of our Lives”.   I mean it was the sickest of the sick- - and Days of our Lives has had a lot of sick, depraved episodes but nothing can compete with that of yesterday's episode.  It’s worse than Orwellian what’s going on on that show now.  Six people who are conspirators to a murder are ganging up on the victim, who turns out not to be dead because he was rescued by someone who actually Cared- - unlike the six of them.  But they want us all to think that Nick Fallon is the big bad perpetrator and the six of them are collectively “victims” of his so called “blackmail”.  It’s utterly sickening and so utterly morally reprobate, what depraved mind came up with this plot?  It could all be a cleaver "reverse psychology" guimick to actually get us all to hate Gay People.  As such that Campaign has worked more spactacularly than they could ever imagine.  When you think of gay couples now you think of Will Horton and Sunny Kiracus- - just like when you hear the name of Jesus Christ you think of Neil Savedra- - it's his voice you hear- - and it's his personality that dogs you when it comes to spiritual matters.  Great going!   Just in general if you are going to elevate a person or persons to prominance- - they as it were are to set a Good Example for your corporation or whatever cause you are advocating for.  If they don't their presence is counter productive and doing Injury to whatever cause you deem to be championing.

The Today Show is talking about all of these rare Treasures from the Romanoff period of the Russian Czars- - - - treasures too rate to even assess in value are held by the Kremlin.  Russia has a lot of cultural history.  They just said on NBC that Vladamir Lenin was the son of a Nobelman.  It's kind of like the Vatican and the vast treasures of the Coman Catholic Church.  It's all just as John Lennon said long ago "- - and you think you're so cleaver and classless and free- - but you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see".   The people are kept poor and are sold this fairy tail propigated by people like St Paul in the Bible - - or else Gus Hall of the Communist Party or whatever that "In theory you are really free- - - in theory you are really rich". Of course if hidden cameras existed back in the middle ages- - you can bet the Catholic Church would have employed theese, too.  People see themselves as "The enforcer" out to give people they regard for their own "psychogenic" reasons (to get fancy on you) as suspect- - YOU need to be kept an eye on- - because you might be a Queer - - or "saying things in secret" - - or a Witch- - - or maybe you've sent encrypted E mails- - which makes you an instant suspect right there.  Well I have "theory" for all of you "In theory - - you can just Kiss My Ass!".   How dare this Ego-maniac, the Chris Christie of the East-  - - deem to hold the Olympics in a locality clearly neither suited nor prepared for such a venture- - all because HE wants it there- - - and apparently a lot of people were "bought off" to insure that the Olympics WERE there.  As such the Olympics as an institution are in jeopardy of losing all moral credibility as an institution.

 I had Ed Schultz on after Stephanie sticking with the Chicago station on Media Player.  Ed talked about this and that.   Would you rather have an oil tanker on fire, or a pipeline on fire with an endless supply of oil.  Would you rather have a container- - or constant abrasive motion from the grittiness of the oil wearing against pipe joints?  And would you rather see a finite amount of oil spilled on the surface of the ground- - or a potentially infinite supply of oil leaking into the ground that may go undetected for days, and all that while it’s causing geologic instability and poisoning the water table and an “excellent choice” of carcinogens?   Just in case you don't get the drift of these remarks- - in addition to having an avidly pro pipeline bias- - Ed has an anti railroad bise.  He says "Incidents have increased seven fold in 2013" or whatever.  Did Ed ever stop to think that one Possability is- - that these Rail transports are being sabotaged perhaps by Trans-Canada pipeline advocates?  I went out for coffee and Jim came over and talked to me a bit about how he’ll be knocking on all of the doors during the fire drill.

Actually I checked in with NBC and fortuitously the Soap Opera for today was on, as it had been yesterday.  Then I got on line and watched yesterday’s episode, which I had missed, to catch up.  The big pay off came when that drug doctor - - gave Nicole two cryptic clues.  The one involved “There’s a leak in the boat” and the other was “34 – 75 – 15 Hike!”   After the drug guy had fled- - Nicole looked at the picture of the boat hanging on the wall and noticed there was a bullet hole in the boat.  Nicole probed around and discovered that there was a wall safe behind this picture.  She took down the picture and remembered the numbers the guy had said and use them to work the combination of the safe and it opened right up.  Inside were all sorts of just the sort of documentation she needed to put the guy away for a long time- - for drugging a Priest- - and what all.
