Everything Is Out of Whack!

You may have seen another  photograph of this lady, wearing a flaming red dress.  I't the same dress as here.  The wonders of hue rotation!

Now for the big news of the day.  The United States was NOT attacked by Al Qaeda over the Fourth of July Weekend!

Obamacare is the name given a law that says you must buy overpriced private health insurance from companies that fund election campaigns. Yes, it’s got some lipstick on it, but compared to a civilized healthcare system like other wealthy nations use it’s awful. But how awful? Surely not as awful as . . .

Obamatrade, which is the name not given to a potential treaty, a.k.a. the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) which says that . . .

You must let foreign corporations overturn national laws.

You must throw millions of people out of work.

You must pay more for medicine.

You must allow banks to gamble on and crash the economy.

You must not know what’s in your food.

You must be censored online.

You must destroy family farming.

You must wreck the environment.  "I wrecked your company because it was wreckable" - Gordon Gecko

You must get paid less.  "Right to work for less" laws - - Hello, Scott Walker!

ALL OF THIS doesn’t bother anybody?

The Supreme Court of the United States recently ruled in favor of Obamacare, and a considerable number of people apparently lost their minds and their bowels.

Again, I admit that Obamacare is an awful law, but it is actually a law passed by Congress. The President and the one before him have been writing laws with signing statements and secret memos, and nobody seems to have gone insane over it.

That same previous president was installed by the same Supreme Court, which stopped an election in Florida so that his opponent couldn’t be shown to have defeated him. Ho hum.

That same Supreme Court has given corporations human rights, made the spending of money an activity protected under the First Amendment as speech, and legalized political bribery. Yawn.

Is it me, or is everything related to Obamacare just a little bit out of whack?

If we were to rename the single largest and most destructive program that the U.S. government wastes money and lives on “Obamawar,” would it then start to bother people?

Can we call the subsidizing of fossil fuels “Obamasmoke”? Would the earth win a few more supporters if we did?

Phyllis Green is leaving and she acted as if it would be in a few days but it’s not till September.  Phyllis says that Tess says she’s been on her best behavior lately.  Glen asked me for a cigarette but then I went out and smoked my last one just now.  I had an attack of diaria today.  It would seem that Augustine is not carrying mouthwash any more.  I asked for some after over a over a month- - for me and not Bill and Augustine said they weren’t carrying it any more.  The Norman Goldman hour isn’t that exciting.  He talked about this one illegal Mexican immigrant with a criminal record and he’s been deported five times.  He killed an attractive woman in her thirties in San Francisco.  The news is buzzing about that.  I was limited to one glass of iced tea from Rico in the courtyard.  After that I went to the upper patio and sat out briefly.  Then I read Pat Buchannon’s book, mostly material involving the lead up to World War II.  Pat portrays FDR as being reluctant to go to war, and Pat claims that this portrayal as FDR as a cheerleader for war leading a reluctant nation- - is a falst impression.  In terms of the soap opera Clyde Weston is now actively recruiting young college kids into a life of narcotics.  But nobody wants to question anything Clyde does.  To speak ill of Clyde, even in hushed tones is almost a federal offense on this show.  Meanwhile Zander goes around threatening Nicole and Eric and Serena and doesn’t see anything strange about that, like why should the cops suspect a person who goes around threatening others to keep their mouths shut?  We had tomato soup for lunch followed by homemade pizza on kind of a bun like thing.  There wasn’t enough cheese for the amount of tomato sauce.  The radio had gone static on every AM radio station except for KFI.  There was this “doctor” lady who talked about marriage in its sociological aspects such as the risk of divorce at different ages, and also if a woman marries either a much younger or much older man, she has increased rick for heart attack.  Her thesis is that due to living longer- - it’s only natural that we’d get tired of our mates.  One 94 year old man his first two marriages each lasted over 25 years.
