Authorities: ‘Balloon boy’ incident was a hoax
# – # – #
I guess like everyone else, they fooled me.
It was very wrong to fool all the good people.
But fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.
Everyone will be just a little more cynical.
Argh!

Letter to Rush Limbaugh
Lloyd Marcus
Dear Rush,
*** end quote ***
Dear Rush,
Sue the bastards.
Drag everyone of them into court. Take there last nickel. (This is Obama’s Amerika. They’ll get a bail out or hand out. Or gooferment pensions.)
It’s the principle of the thing. ( Sean Connery as James Malone (The Untouchables): “You wanna get Capone? Here’s how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way. And that’s how you get Capone!”)
They can criticize what you DO say, but they can’t just make it up.
You have to “assist the Universe” and teach them the lesson they need to learn. Else the Universe will keep sending you “teaching moments” until you do.
imho

Affordable Outplacement
Health Insurance Tracks Cost Of Medical Care. BS.
Jason Alba
*** begin quote ***
That was what I thought the lie was. Based on my summer, with a birth and a surgery, I could not believe the overhead and price inflation caused by insurance companies. You can read about it on my JibberJobber blog, but understand that the hospital bills for the birth of my kid were about 60% discounted because we were self-pay, and we paid up front.
In other words, because we bypassed the health insurance system we were able to avoid 60% of the cost. Unbelievable.
*** end quote ***
My observation on the upcoming “Obama-care” where the gooferment will become — in quick order — my “insurance company”. (Yeah, I know what they say. But, I think it’s going to be “Medicare for everyone”. To paraphrase Judge Judy, “I wouldn’t believe you …” (i.e. a congress critter; any politician) “… if your tongue came notarized!”
If my insurance company screws me, I can go to the gooferment for relief. If the gooferment aka my insurance company screws me, to whom do I go to for relief? To the gooferment’s courts?
Just take my screwing and shut up!

Is McChrystal Reading LewRockwell.com?

Not likely.
But I was heartened to see that when we abandoned the military outpost in Kamdesh, Afghanistan, we destroyed the base, lighting afterburners, the smoldering waste of one more failed experiment in colonialism in our rear-view mirrors.
We departed this small base days after one of the deadliest Taliban strikes against our occupation forces there. Officially, our departure had been planned for months. Any bets that the leadership will take a hit for that bit of poor planning?
Not likely.
*** end quote ***
The People have to end this nonsense.
Afghanistan has been the deathbed of empires for eons.
We can safely withdraw if we do two things: (1) pull back all our troops from around the globe; and (2) end the war on drugs. Then the Afghan farmers can grow all the opium they want. AND, all the countries, who’ve been living under our protection, can pay for their own defense.
Not likely!

*** begin quote ***
Yet, many of you secretly applaud baseball’s version of socialism, euphemistically called the Competitive Balance Tax, which has resulted in the Yanks paying out over $150 million in the last six years to their direct competitors. Meanwhile, Robert Nutting, the dastardly owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates who pocketed $40 million in revenue-sharing alone last year, saw fit to reduce his 2009 payroll to $20 million by selling off the few good players he had. Such doings make those who cooked up the Oil for Food program look like pikers.

MP4B = “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”
Argh!
Before I would hold up ANY sports team as an exemplar of “conservative” values, I’d think about the stadiums they play in.
Taxpayer funded.
We don’t build McD’s. We don’t build WalMarts. We don’t build lots of things for businesses!
Why are we building stadiums for billionaires where they can exercise their millionaire “talent”?
Argh!

Because, if it is true – and I believe it is – it confirms Obama lied boldly and blatantly about something so significant during the campaign. It would also confirm Obama as a close associate and trusted friend to one of the most despicable America haters on planet Earth.
You just don’t hire anyone to collaborate with you on your autobiography. You only choose someone you trust, someone who thinks like you, someone who really knows you and your innermost convictions and shares them.
The evidence is mounting that Obama selected Bill Ayers.
*** end quote ***
The American People, in their rush to justly punish the R’s, has elected a “Manchurian candidate”. As we learn more, as the “legend” he’s created unravels, as he pursues hid true agenda, we are finding that we have really screwed up.

We should be talking about a single-payer system, which would remove profit from the system (health care companies boost profits by denying care) and place all of us on an equal plane.
*** end quote ***
Sorry to tell you but then you will have a very expensive gooferment bureaucracy denying care.
Look at the VA (e.g., “My doc is trying to kill me”). Look at the Indian Health System (e.g., “Don’t get sick after June”). Look at Medicare (e.g., “If medicare denies your claim [for a Jazzy], we give it to you for free!”).
And, when the gooferment bureaucrat decides that you can’t get your hair plug replacement therapy, or that needed “experimental” procedure, to whom are you going to appeal? Your local newspaperman who urged this on you? Your Congressperson?
No! The gooferment is exceeding its role. Want single payer? Move to any of the lovely jurisdictions that have it: Canada, England, Sweden.
And, when you get really sick, come on back.
Progressives always want to give gooferment control. We need to stop this march to socialism before it kills us.

(No background music) School kids taught to praise Obama
This is an absolute travesty. We need to end “public education”. All they are doing is ensuring that the next generation of “voters” will be too indoctrinated to be free! Argh!

The consumer is king? No, he’s not. What’s my choice for electricity and gas? PSE&G or PSE&G? Or I have to move to another state. In many cases, one or two companies have a monopoly of a certain type of business or there is often price fixing and collusion between corporations. That is certainly true of the private for profit health insurance industry.
What the hell is some poor working stiff in West Virginia supposed to do against giant coal mining corporations that are polluting the water, soil and air of their neighborhoods? Oh yeah, they have the option to move from their homes where they may have roots going back generations. We have no choice about how the energy is transmitted to our abodes. The only way to deal with these great polluters is through the power of the government or the legislature. We need a trust busting Theodore Roosevelt and an army of Upton Sinclairs to take on all these giant corporations which are raping the environment and our wallets. Corporate America has too much power, they are unelected but they control the media and have undue influence over Congress and our legislatures, (local, state and federal).
We need strong unions to give workers a voice and to level the playing field.

OK, let’s take PSEG. Who gave them a monopoly? The Gooferment. So aim your ire at the “state”! That’s why you don’t have a choice.
Even when given a monopoly, that still doesn’t completely insulate the monopoly service provider. Comcast was the monopoly. Then, came DirectTv. Then, Dish. Then, Verizon FIOS.
>In many cases, one or two companies have a monopoly of a certain type of business or
> there is often price fixing and collusion between corporations.
There is NO monopoly without GOOFERMENT. Competition disolves “natural monopolies” in a few years. Everyone always cites the Rockyfeller oil monopoly which lasted (I think) THREE years before competitors came in and took percentages.
>That is certainly true of the private for profit health insurance industry.
There is NO such industry. The Federal and State Gooferments regulate EVERYTHING about healthcare. AND, those companies LOVE it. It prevents competition. “Regulatory capture”, restriction on suuply, mandated coverages just make it expensive.
>What the hell is some poor working stiff in West Virginia supposed to do against giant coal
>mining corporations that are polluting the water, soil and air of their neighborhoods?
Where’s the Federal and State EPA that are supposed to be preventing that?!? In fact, the gooferment is the biggest polluter. (Check some of the DOD and DOE sites.)
If you had a fair judicial system, then they’d have a recourse. Read Healing Our World by Dr. Mary Ruwart. http://www.ruwart.com/Healing/chap14.html
>Corporate America has too much power, they are unelected but they control the media

It’s called Facism. Where the State and Business become “bedfellows”.
>We need strong unions to give workers a voice and to level the playing field.
Yeah, right. Like the UAW, Teachers Union, or SCIU are weak. Please, don’t make me laugh. They are AS corrupt as the politicians.
So who’s going to save you now?
The answer is we have to rescue ourselves. It’s our thinking that needs to change. We have to demand freedom and liberty. We can start by voting out EVERY incumbent. Call it voter imposed term limits. Demand TRUE deregulation. No licenses, no permits, no gooferment oversight. Liberty will protect us.

Why does the author think that “civilization” needs to be maintained and which civilization was her referring too? The contraceptives for Africa is not to stop people having babies but to stop the spread of AIDS and although I don’t agree with Pelosi’s politics, it does make sense that we do not want poor women having too many kids which then puts a burden on government (the people). Perhaps we need to start legally euthanizing the elderly instead of abortions.

I REPLIED:
I’d like the gooferment to stop messing around with human beings. We need all the people we can create. Don’t kid yourself about the “purpose” of contraceptives. And, imho Africa’s problem is corrupt gooferments aided and abet by OUR corrupt gooferment. Imagine what would happen if the world said to the ruling elite of a poor African country, “No, you can leave your squalid little part of the Earth until you clean it up. You most certainly can not bank your stolen treasure here. You can’t enjoy our society while you are robbing and killing your own countrymen.” Argh, like that’s ever going to happen. Ever wonder why the world’s leaders eschew assassination? Not for the benefit of their citizens! Euthanasia, genetic selection, sterilization, and abortion is the complete undervaluing a human life. It’s the path TO the death camps. “Too many kids” from “poor women” is code for we have a gooferment that is out of control. Again, imho.
