LATE LABOR DAY

Don't forget to check the header.

There's a prize for those who can guess what this is. See below.

TRAGEDY IN LA

In South Los Angeles, a 4-plex was destroyed by a fire.

• A Nigerian family of six con artists lived on the first floor, and all six died in the fire.
• An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats, all illegally in the country from Kenya, lived on the second floor, and they, too, all perished in the fire.
• Six LA, Hispanic, Gang Banger, ex-cons, lived on the 3rd floor and they,too, died.
• A lone, white couple lived on the top floor. The couple survived the fire.
• Jesse Jackson, John Burris and Al Sharpton were furious. They flew into LA and met with the fire chief, on camera. They loudly demanded to know why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics all died in the fire and only the white couple lived? The fire chief said, "They were at work."

JUST SAYIN', MR PRESIDENT

There's one under the header today.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I used to use War and Peace to put me to sleep at night. I just don't know if I can afford the toner to print out that "health" bill. Wonder if I could get a grant from the White House? I'm tired of the Dems calling the 'Pubs names. And vice versa. Cat fights suck. And the man who was elected to bring us all together acting like a teenager. For some reason I have the feeling that he is still learning what we require of him. All this political infighting is the result of none of us thinking where the costs are and what can be done to halt the spiral. Apparently it is easier for the shallow minded to call names and be vicious, than to offer some alternatives. (I object to things like a surgeon charging $2,000+ for a minimally invasive 15 minute operation. I object to anestheologists who charge $2,400+ for the same operation. I resent $1,000 a day hospital rooms. And lots more rip off charges.) Here's a few alternatives I think might be accomplished to help stop us feeding on ourselves: 1. Doctors (including all medical practitioners), but primarily surgeons who overcharge need to be reined in. Anesthesiologists who overcharge for the same operation must suffer the same fate. These kinds of charges are an insult to patients. Knowing they have you in a lock (no pay, no operation) these practitioners are free to charge what ever they choose. So you get to pay it. Or your insurance company does. Or the government does. Eventually, it comes from your pocket. 2. Hospitals (all of them, every single one) have cute ways of charging fees that are eating up medicare and insurance money. Not just having a big bite, but wolfing it down in what seems to be a "pig out" contest. A couple examples: $2,000 a night for a shared room at a state university hospital. $300 for a television set that doesn't work properly. Tests never performed but charged for. Food never delivered but charged for. Medicines charged for but never given. 3. Insurance companies aren't going broke. Their rates and exclusions have, instread, broken more than one family's finances. Arbitrary limitations put more money in management pockets and the raising of their "operating costs" eat up your dollars. 4. The failure of medicare and medicade to challenge the bills they pay (with your money) to the "get rich quick gang" is an inherent fault which guarantees overcharging and theft. When any payee function that does not have an adequate oversight committee to catch the cheaters and make them pay fines and assessments, guess whose signature will be on the check signing line? 5. The insatiable greed of the drug companies wanting to swallow each other whole so that one will emerge as the omnipotent source for all the chemicals we consume via our medical orders. Until caps are put on their owners and salaries (across the board), it will continue to keep Americans poor. I also believe they should not be allowed to advertise their habit forming products any more than cigarette companies and liquor dealers. After all, the drug companies products have the same effects on the majority of us. 6. A government that wants change, but takes the wrong road, will meet with resistance from a section of its commonwealth. A government that cannot see how such an undertaking (altering health care costs without adequate policing) will open the bureaucratic doors to wild growth and the resultant over staffing (and secreting of those who could help the populace), of good people who become afraid to be known lest they loose their overpaid positions are non-arguable facts. Examine any government agency. Whistleblowers, instead of being protected to the fullest extent of the law, are most often moved to bland, boring jobs, or told to find work elsewhere. 7. A final (perhaps it should be first) need: ALL elected officials, their families and staff must also use the same system of health care that we, the people, use. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are aimed at one man's life being as valuable as anothers. We do NOT need elitists in our country. We are neither China nor Russia...yet.

There are other, even more stringent plans available with more money saving, but as the man said: "This is a start". Let's keep America American.

CENSORSHIP IS CENSORSHIP

Click the header...it's a wonderful world.

-------------------------------

Censoring anything in America today should raise a flag warning of the dangers.

But apparently there are some people who think everything we do, from buying guns to going to the toilet, should be government knowledge.

Cameras invade our privacy whether they help solve crimes (and are ignored at sentencing time) or simply spy on everyday activities. As you can see from the picture above, they even interfere with our perversions. (Shuckie durn.)

But it is NOT funny in reality. Not at all.

When I attended college (even though it was considered a very liberal school), spying on one's neighbor was considered an evil and something not to be done.

But our Congress (some of it, anyway) is considering a bill that a whacked out Senator from West (by God) Virginia is sponsoring. Personally I have less than "no time" for this clown.

This bill, as frightening as it is, could also open the door for our thoughtful and fair government clerks deciding what information you must disclose and when the government would exercise control over your computer(s) or network.

I'M SCARED...VERY SCARED

Click the header. It's from the glory days.

Is it all downhill? -------------------------------------- "ABC and NBC have refused to run a national ad critical of President Obama's health care reform plan." So say the headlines from web "newspapers". (http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/08/28/abc-and-nbc-refuse-to-run-ad-critical-of-obama-health-care/?icid=mainhtmlws-maindl5link5http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicsdaily.com%2F2009%2F08%2F28%2Fabc-and-nbc-refuse-to-run-ad-critical-of-obama-health-care2F You can see the videohere.) As I see it, this is no longer a matter of wanting or not wanting either a "changed system" nor "Obama Care" in these United States. It has, instead, become something alien to our way of life and thinking. It is the undesirable way of knuckling under to the class bully. Did the Axis win WW II and we are about to enter into a totalitarian nightmare? The lame answers from these two networks (ABC and NBC) indicate something I never thought would be seen in the United States. It no longer matters whether one is for or against the Obama "Health Care" program. The only thing that matters is whether one is for or against the freedoms America stands for. It is blatantly apparent that these once proud networks have knuckled under to pressure from the White House and its minions. We must rise up and say we will not accept your weakling cowardice nor sorry excuses. We are smarter than you think we are. The United States was not built, nor can it long survive, without freedom of speech (read dissent). For anyone, anyone, to assume that only his way is right and force the rest of the country to follow his decisions will be fatal to our way of life. It is not a case of "I think he's right" nor "I think he's wrong". It is a case of much greater existence than that. It concerns the great freedoms in our once and still proud country. Your forebears, who gave their blood and lives to keep us one country and to protect that country, would not want us to surrender one inch of the freedoms they fought so valiantly for. Censorship is alien to the United States. Fight it at the polling booths. Don't surrender, America.

MONTANA NEWS

Montana town hall meeting, Obama town hall, August 14, 2009, SEIU thugs, White House control, Press restricted the Town Hall meeting orchestrated by the Obama camp on August 14, 2009: “Things are not always what they seem”. Hello All, By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday. However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since Joe and I live here and we were at the airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information is up to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address (ed. Done) before you forward this on. On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would be coming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talking and deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than the date. On about Tuesday Joe found out that they would be holding the “Town Hall”at the airport. (This is only because Joe knows EVERYONE at the airport). Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a very remote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from the public. FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount of folks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to be SHIPPED IN!! $$$$$ During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped in constantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming, several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$ Late Tuesday/early Wednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and the president would be arriving around 12:30 Friday. Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Local printing shop per White House request. Hmmmm……900tickets just DISAPPEARED. This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy. Anyone heard of theRecession?? Just think…with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for. On Friday Joe and I got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama’s spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area (illegal) and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to make trouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 and they were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and PlannedParenthood folks were with them…..professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area) Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over and walking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man. So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and their DOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had been driving through. H efound out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came to protest. If you are wondering about the press…..Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about the crowds. We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho. Speaking of the local media…they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn’t want anyone to have to think off the top of their head. It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down to the last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government health care. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes……..the WhiteHouse called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors…EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!! I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America, more like the USSR!! I was physically nauseous. Joe and I have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC. Scary!!” !#12 - Sat Aug 22, 2009 5:52 AM MDT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone that wants the presidency so much that he'll spend two years organizing and campaigning for it is not to be trusted with the office. - David Broder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q - What did the palm tree say to the coconut tree as Hurricane Bill approached?
