The Obama Health Care Plan and Bragging Reichs
In a recent multi-national conference Hillary Clinton attended the topic of Universal Health care was brought up.
The Israeli Minister of Health bragged: "Medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a kidney out of one person, put it into another and have him looking for work in six weeks!"
The German Minister of Health who stood up and said, "Well medicine in my county is so advanced, we can take a lung out of one person and put it into another and have him looking for work on 4 weeks"
The Russian Minister of Health and Social Development got up and said "My country is even more advanced, we can remove half a heart from one person, put it into another and have them both looking for work in just 2 weeks!"
Not to be outdone, the American Secretary of Health and Human Services stood up and addressed the conference, "Well", he said, "My country is so far advanced in medicine, we can take an aaah* uhem Sphincter out of Chicago , put it in the White House, and have half the country looking for work in 24 hours!"

Thought for the day
Forwarded to me from an Internet friend.
Do you realize that Obama probably signed his stimulus package at the same desk where..................
....Clinton got his package stimulated?
Kinda makes you think. Doesn't it?

Note to former presidents Carter & Clinton...take a lesson from former-president Bush. He refuses to criticize president Obama.
This is following tradition, sirs! Something neither of your self-important, needy, attention-getting personalities allow. It's been tradition since the formation of the United States that former presidents cede the spotlight & allow our current leaders to perform, uninterrupted by their predecessors.
Do the United States a favor: retire & leave the limelight of public office. Follow the example of a true leader, not a cowardly pacifist or sex-offender.

Deep Discussion
My friends & I were discussing a few political issues when one mentioned he was experiencing difficulty attempting to "reconcile the tenets of Christianity with some of the republican & libertarian positions" with regards to looking out for the whole of society. He continued that he stands "firm that Christianity is much closer to socialism than anyone wants to think".
Now, my friend is a conservative gentleman & most definitely not a socialist. That being said, he is one of the most honest, in-depth thinkers I have ever known. He IS correct when saying Christianity & socialism share some similar tenets.
How, then, can we differentiate from the two? If two apparently dissimilar ideologies share common principles, what makes the difference in them philosophically, morally & practically? If anyone had asked me such a question, I'd have some difficulty explaining the separation in ideology.
However, as if hit by a bolt of "smart", the following answer literally popped into my head:
It really struck a chord with all of us. The above sounds exactly like what the government is seeking to do: impose charity & sharing among the people. By forcing something as opposed to encouraging a practice, the elected are seeking to become the prophets of a "religion" they are creating.
You cannot force perfection on man. God made us with free will: the freedom to do right & wrong at our discretion. Whether you believe in the Divine Creator or not, it is simple fact that a person must choose to try & perfect himself/herself - such perfection cannot be obtained by force because it can never be genuine (& thus can never truly be "perfect").

"All of us have beliefs across the spectrum (left to right). Conservatives just have more to the right. Religion betters socialism in the shared tenets by way of encouraging man to better himself & treat neighbors as themselves. Socialism forces it - in essence, the state becomes a god & attempts to remove the fallibility from mankind. That is why it fails".

Willie Nelson
Well, I had a doctor appointment on Tuesday to make sure I could drive again...which was canceled for "weather".
For those of you who aren't familiar with the definition of bad weather in South Carolina, it's basically a beautiful, sunny day with some remaining snow on the areas surrounding the roads. NOT actually ON the road, mind you.
So, the doctor being closed, my appointment was rescheduled for today at 11:40, this Thursday. After waiting for an hour in the exam room, I spent five minutes with the doctor.
The result?
I can drive again & when the meds are out this month, the prescription doesn't need to be refilled. All that's left is periodic checks (once every year or so) to make sure the tumor doesn't return. I'd call that long-term, cautious optimism...

the Great nObama Icon finalists ..feel free to add your own.
The Great nObama needed a new Icon to put out in the country show where his stimulus improvements are physically manifest. So soon you will see these pictures or Icons all over the place like you see Castro's face in Cuba, and *insert dictator* portrait in *insert dictator's country*
So in favor of saving the country a couple million dollars on a symbol artist we have decided to open this up to the public in a contest. We will see if American Creativity can rise to the challenge and make an Icon for the nObama. I have started you off with two. One from an Internet Friend's email and I have no idea of the original source but I have taken it and run with it.
The first one:

"Hap" words that describe "Hapkido", the friendly blogger:
1) Hap-pee: I drank too much beer.
2) Hap-pen-stance: The way I hold writing implements.
3) Hap-penning: Writing my autobiography.
4) Hap-hazard: Someone messing with my stuff.
5) Hap-ax Legomena: The end result of my attempt at building ANYTHING with Legos; OR me as a wizard in a Harry Potter novel.
6) Hap-alon-chia: Because I only have that silly ceramic "pet" instead of the name "Cassidey"!

The Constitution Solution for Iraq
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq, Why don't we just give them ours?

2) It has worked for over 200 years
3) We're not using it anymore.

Gore, Again
Did you hear that Gore - not content with collapsing capitalism via "global warming" - is now encroaching on the morals previously espoused only by the catholic church?
He's suggested a method of "birth control" to replace the catholic doctrine of "rhythm method".
Gore calls it the "Algorythm (algorithm) Method".
All you programmers out there can start hating me now!

Be Careful What You Ask For...
Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter?"
"No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing."
"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks.
"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
"Why?" asks the Lord.
"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in Wisconsin."

1) the web page is the stock section of Foxnews.com and the stocks are having .....uhem... a hard time getting up despite the fact that it's sponsor happens to be Cialis's Promise Program.
2) The Websites that just happened to be opened when I took this snapshot of the website were our very own Crunch Time, Pamibe's 'I told you so..' blog at http://www.pamibe.com/. That was just a funny coincidence.
You just can't make this stuff up.
Special Thanks to my coworker and Blogspawn Silverwing - http://www.silverwings-silverings.blogspot.com/ who saw the website first and doubled over laughing uncontrolably.
And Then There Were 3
I'm going to have to get a bigger hat rack! The Asshats are just piling up!
A friend (Luis) in Colorado was out at a restaurant with his wife & two boys (2 & 6). The six-year old said he needed to use the bathroom & Luis told him to take the two-year old with him. The bathroom was in direct view of their table & he watched both boys go in.
A few moments later, a man in his 40s came up to the table - both of my friend's boys with him & the following conversation ensued:
Guy: Do you think it's very smart to let your kids RUN around the restaurant, bothering people?
Luis: Sorry, we are just leaving...
Guy: If they go by my table again, I am going to trip them! (seriously! two little kids!)
(Luis, agitated at this point, stands up & the guy gets in his face)
Luis: If you touch my kid, I will kick your ass! (trust me, he can back this up.)
Guy: No you won't.
Luis: Are you sure? Please, walk away.
At this point, it bears noting that Luis, a second degree in HKD, was accosted a few years back in Boston by two jerks. One ended up kissing a brick wall & the other was choked into submission...Luis can handle himself.
(Guy gets even closer to Luis)
Luis: WALK. AWAY. NOW!
The guy finally got some sense in his head & walked back to his table. Needless to say, the manager was over there by now & other folks were all too glad to tell how this jerk had threatened two children in front of their parents. The manager kicked the bozo & his girlfriend out without further incident.
Congratulations, asshat #3! You must be related to #2 with a twisted mind like that. Part of me wishes Luis had kicked your butt all over the restaurant but I'm glad my friend had the presence of mind to behave as an adult should instead of stooping to your head-up-the-butt level.

The good: I've got a "theme song".
The bad? Well, I wasn't thinking it would involve so much polyester, disco lights & bell bottoms!
