Don't Read The Freakin Bill !
Reading the Health Care Bill is like being a little bit pregnant.
Reading the Freakin Health Care Bill is like sleeping at a Vampires House with the Caveat that You Have to be outta there by 6 am latest.
Reading the Health Care Bill is like only using 2 inch nails in the nail gun you apply to your forehead and pull the trigger with wild abandon.
Reading the Health Care Bill is like Only Eating a Half Box of Rat Poison !
Reading the Health Care Bill is like saying Barney Frank can be rehabilitated.
Reading the Health Care Bill is like saying Rich Simmons is only a little bit gay.
Reading the Health Care Bill is a Colossal Waste of Time.
Reading the Health Care Bill Pretends there IS a Health Care Bill

Down With The ISM's !
1948. Nothing new under the sun eh?
You know me; I don't much care for particularly long roads to a point, but I didn't have any trouble watching the whole 9+ minutes of this.
Choose Security over Liberty and you have neither.

Today's Cool Application
Firefox Add on Fireshot
Here's a small quickly slapped together example that I did using Fireshot in about a minute.
Plus capturing 'news' stories will/may be a useful tool in helping to combat the re-writing of news.

The First in At Least One Video From Our Orphan Kitten Fostering Days
Grey Goose came to us with two brothers who became known as Big Bear and Little Bear - both solid black short hair cats with white spots on their lower belly. They were the 2nd set of kittens we were fostering. The first two kttens were born to a feral mother who we took in to socialize as well as provide a place to give birth outside the shelter and she gave birth the 2nd day at the house.
She took on these three new ones as her own, but to relieve the stress on her, we helped by bottle feeding them and helping out with the 'bathroom duties'. Kittens cannot do anything by themselves the first few weeks, and the mom initiates them either defecating or urinating by licking them on their genitals. You can simulate this by taking a warm wet paper towel and rubbing them there. The mom actually consumes the waste or spits it out into the litter box. I was never around when one of the moms actually did it.
Anyway, Grey Goose was the most laid back kitten and cat that we'd ever had at the house. One day, in one of the bedrooms where we took care of these dudes, Goose came in and I gave him a shot at a starting role. After a minute, he totally freaked out and turned into Bruce Lee.

Nancy Pelosi's Brain
The following is the complete soundtrack of the 'active' regions of what is left of Nancy Pelosi's 'brain'.
The track starts off a little boring, probably as she remembers the robustness of her college days (you'll need some volume to even hear this part), then gets a little repetitive in the middle sections as you might imagine.
There is a real treat at the end though. Kinda.

Another Beautiful Weekend...
My wife and I have been spending the last month at my parents house as we prepare to move into our new home. While the family is fantastic, it has been quite interesting for two newly weds to embarq on such a stay. It has given us ample time to step back and observe everything that has been going on, and to actually delve further into the minutia.
So let's see where to start.
The Russian and Chinese Governments spent $4 Billion this week to prop up the dollar so that they may maintain some sort of exports to the US.
Iran is buying gold like it is going out of style, anticipating more sanctions.
The Royal Bank of Australia raised their interest rate a quarter of a percent in anticipation of inflation.
$1.00 US = $1.04 CAN.... ???
Gold hits all time high (before pulling back ever so slightly because of the $4 Billion purchase mentioned earlier) of $1,063/ounce.
Chairman Bernanke says we are going to keep printing money for a while...
Our President is trying to turn Afghanistan into a police action... hummm, I have heard that term before.
Health Care will increase taxes on everybody- except for those who don't pay taxes anyway (Tim Geithner).
Second Stimulus is being pushed by the democrats- wait, how did the first one work out? I thought we were to be below 8% unemployment? Now almost 15 million people out of work.
Have you ever googled the newspaper headlines from the 1930's?
"Recession is Over", "Recovery is here", etc., etc, over and over for the entire decade. Sound familiar?
Sugar hits all time price high. California food production down 25% due to water being cut-off to farmers to save the smelt.
Dollar has lost 19% of its value in last 6 months.
Obama wants to control the internet, blogging, financial industry/regulation, health care, and demise of the dollar- but was given a Nobel Peace Prize for internation diplomacy.
The IMF now gets to help regulate our Financial Industry.
Yada, yada, yada.
Does anyone else notice any certain trends here?
While many of us sit here this weekend, we are oblivious to what is actually happenning right under our feet or over our heads. The devaluing of our dollar has gone to new lows, and the "Post recession Inflation" has not even started yet. Sadly, it will not be until a Happy Meal at McDonald's is $35.00 that the mainstream will realize what is going on.
So, another beautiful weekend... enjoying a Value Meal at $6.99... (How long ago was it $5 or even $4?) Ahhh progress...
