Lawyers Opposing Health Care Law Cite Kids-With-Pre-Existing-Conditions-Can-Go-Fuck-Themselves Clause

WASHINGTON—As the Supreme Court hears oral arguments today on President Obama's health care reform law, plaintiffs aiming to strike down the legislation are citing the U.S. Constitution's Kids-With-Pre-Existing-Conditions-Can-Go-Fuck-Themselves clause, which decrees that children who suffer from debilitating illnesses prior to acquiring health insurance "should just go straight to hell." "It explicitly states in Article 4, Section 9 that 'children with extant disorders unable to pay exorbitant premium fees can just fucking die for all we care, especially the ones with leukemia.'" attorney Paul D. Clement told the nine jurists during his opening statement. "Thus the current law is on its face unconstitutional. ..more......

On a more personal and ultimately tragic note, this is probably going to be the cluster-fuck end-all-supreme court fiasco that actually kills me, after first bankrupting me...and several million others.
When, what are supposed to be the top legal minds in the country, question weather a government that can tax me, send me to war, throw me in prison, wiretap my phone...ect...has the right to meekly insist that I buy health insurance, or that I pay a penalty of $95 a month (*if I am one of the less than two percent of the population who absolutely refuses to get insurance no matter how little the cost).  Or, when those same minds, compare that same government mandate to forcing everyone to "eat broccoli"....Or when one of the two political parties in this country has  thrown their entire plutocratic machine in to killing this bill, knowing full well, the costs in money, and lives, solely for their own short term political gain....then.this country has truly become to stupid to govern, and lets face it, to live in. It has turned Idiocracy in to an art. But, I guess we knew that anyway... didn't we.

This is Your Healthcare...

..and this is your healthcare on "Republicare".  In this case, the darker the green, means the darker the red, so to speak. In other words, the more a state favors the republican party, the worse health care or more uninsured, that state has. So by all means, lets let them control the health care system, after all, look what they did for the financial system.

More Real Romney: Lie, Lie, Lie...

I think one of the most discouraging things about this long running nightmare some are referring to as "the republican primary", is the constant daily barrage of the media calling the words coming out of the candidates mouths "gaffes". In fact, the actual "gaffes", are the rare moments of truth being uttered by these people. As if this avalanche of deceit, is not the real story of the process.  Like repeating hammer blows to the head, is it supposed to eventually stop hurting? Are we witnessing a fundamental change to the nomenclature? Or is it to distract us from the reality that most of what they are spouting on the campaign trail, are not "gaffes", or "flubs" or "missteps" they are lies. Fibs, whoopers, hyperbole,.....Lies. 

Thank god for Racheal Maddow.

The Real Mittens

While this is pretty funny, someone could make a straight mash up including Mitten's myriad contradictions over the last few campaign cycles.  And oh yea:  Being a two faced nakedly opportunistic plutocrat does not an enigma make.

Better Late Than Ignorant....

Of course, this gem came out last week. I saw it on Real Time (Maher's Show) and then on many blogs, so I thought; why bother?
But this week, Pelosii (Nancy's daughter, and a fine documentary film maker) felt the need to give equal time to some of the locals from her neck of the woods, so to speak, and interviewed people waiting in line at a welfare office in New York City. As the Pace picante sauce folks used to un-ironically intone "Get a Rope"
That sentence alone should sum up what is wrong about the follow up video she aired this week. She went to great pains last week to point out that these toothless confederates, were a random sample, she did not go anywhere special to seek them out (like a welfare office maybe?) and polling done later that week confirmed that these people's views are widely held in the area (53% of Mississippi repubs DO think Obama is a Muslim ..for instance).
The point of the first video was exemplified in her questions about why poor people vote against their best interests (Mississippi being demonstrably the poorest state in the nation). What then was the point of interviewing people waiting in line at a welfare office? According to Pelosi, in her interview on Real Time, it was to show the problems with "the entitlement system".
How is this a counterpoint to the above video? I am not really sure, unless the real point is to show that poverty, hatred and ignorance run hand in hand......I believe this video explains that idea a little better:

Three Pigs: Second Verse: One Named Pam

I won't link to her site, but here is what hate faucet Pam Geller had to add to the discourse:


"Obama calls her and tells Sandra Slut Fluke that her parents should be so proud of her.
He’s a pimp.
Did he call the sole survivor of the Fogel family massacre?
He is morally bankrupt."

Pam...you...:

"Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Why Pat..Why?

Why..why? Why when natural disasters hit the "differently hued" is it punishment for their wicked ways...but when they hit the rusty bible belt...it's because..."they just weren't prayin enough?"

I would link to the CNN video of the women actually praying at a tornado like cloud...that actually did miss her house (because mostly that's what tornadoes do...miss houses), but piling one stupid on another is no way to keep those pesky funnel clouds at bey.

I guess Pat was tired of missing out on all the slut shaming attention, so better to chastise a bunch of people who just lost their homes and loved ones...a kind of "shot gun of stupid" approach.

Must get hard finding people who are down, or can't defend themselves, to kick the shit out of... in the never ending quest to fill those media hours with godly christian content.

Three Pigs: First Verse: One named Rush

Limbaugh: Sandra Fluke Is "Having So Much Sex, It's Amazing She Can Still Walk"

Rush ...you....:

"Pigs (Three Different Ones)"

Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.



....Hard to believe it took this to get me back

............And I'm Back.........

So..it's Karl Rove and not Rush....meh

Funny, I havent been here since the last time I posted, and the last post being about K.O. getting dumped from MSNBC for??/

Funny also that people used to use K.O. for arguing that there was a counter on the left for Orielly and Beck..and of course...Rush:
From a comment I just posted on another blog on the demise of a certain fat blowhard:

"As I was drinking the morning coffee, the "Today Show" with Matt Laur? was on in the background.
On it, Matt and 3 people who I didn't know were ruminating over the weeks events (two women and one man...I think one of them is an actual doctor).
Of course, there was much hurumphing over Limbaugh's recent comments from the panel, but little to no mention of the fact that he has been doing and saying things like this, and worse, for over TWO DECADES NOW...and then it came....from the "journalist"...the long time host...Mr. Laur: "...but of course...both sides do it!!" 
I am a long way from the comfy studios at "30 Rock", but I swear I almost saw Matt's head turn slightly when I screamed for the millionth time at the tee vee: "When? Who?? Name anyone on the left that is the counter balance in the marketplace of ideas to Rush fucking Limbaugh!!"
Forget "low information voters"...how is it that that so many well paid people, with huge audiences can continue, year after year, to repeat the same centrist bullshit lie, over and over again...and never get called on it!
The thing is, I think Matt, and David (Greggors, Frum, Brooks...take your pick) actually believe it, despite having no evidence, because they are never publicly called out...in their own medium, on their own show...ever. No one ever says: Name one. Name one pundit, one politician, one anybody from the left, who shovels out the same hyperbolic, undeserved bile,day after day..decade after decade. 
The real tragedy is, Laur probably has a bigger audience than any of the rest of those idiots, and his recitation of that tired line, probably comes more from just plain not knowing any better. Low information media....just not giving a shit about knowing any better!"
