Dipshitocrats prepare to ram it up your ass

Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Even if Democrats lose the Jan. 19 special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator, Congress may still pass a health-care overhaul by using a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.

That procedure requires 51 votes rather than the 60 needed to prevent Republicans from blocking votes on President Barack Obama’s top legislative priorities. That supermajority is at risk as the Massachusetts race has tightened.

“Even before Massachusetts and that race was on the radar screen, we prepared for the process of using reconciliation,” said Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. More here:

See, this is what I love about the Dipshitocrats.  If they can get 51 votes out of 100 on something then it MUST be good for the ENTIRE country, right?  That's right.  If it means displeasing 49% of the people in favor of 51%, it matters not to them.  

To me, this is unimaginable arrogance.  All they want is control so they can slide money around and give big-money jobs to their contributors and friends.  They know that once they get it done, it can NEVER be undone ... think Social Security.

I really can't get over it.  They're going to act like it's perfectly ok to SQUANDER money by the trillions based on a 51-49 vote.   If they do this, I'm going to consider it the biggest government ripoff in my lifetime.

I'm guessing they're doomed in November for sure.  Perhaps the conservatives can get it undone if they act fast enough.  I doubt it though ... think of the lawyers ... they'll get FILTHY rich trying to stop the conservatives from undoing it.

Happy Harrogate Week!

A New Career for EK?

Bold is mine.

The world’s first academic degree in medical clowning is now available to aspiring healers. A big red nose is not part of the admission requirements, but a sense of humor is. The program—at the University of Haifa in Israel—offers courses in comedy, improvisation, mime, and juggling, as well as the psychology of pain, therapy, and communicating with patients. Trainee clowns even go on morning rounds with doctors as full members of the medical team. Research has confirmed the role of laughter in healing. A study in Pediatric Anesthesia reported that using medical clowns for children undergoing surgery can “significantly alleviate pre-operative anxiety” when compared with no intervention, and is better than or similar to sedation medication. Clown Doctors, as they’re sometimes known (Gee - how original), operate around the world, including the U.K., Canada, and Australia. In the U.S., the Big Apple Circus has helped train and place clown doctors in more than 18 facilities nationwide.

Cheating jackass was only having fun

NEW YORK—Former St. Louis Cardinals slugger, onetime single-season home run record holder, and admitted steroid abuser Mark McGwire came clean Monday, confessing that it was really fucking fun being able to hit baseballs so hard and far.

"I can't remember having a better time in all of my life," McGwire said during an hour-long interview with the MLB Network's Bob Costas. "Do you have any idea what it's like knowing instantly that a ball you hit is going to fly—no, soar—over a fence in a major-league stadium? Well, I do. And it's fucking fantastic."

"I'm sorry everyone had a problem with it," McGwire added. "But I was having a blast." More at The Onion:

Chucky-Schmucky Schumer is a jackass

New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who famously hammered then-Sen. Alfonse D'Amato for calling him a "putz-head" in their hot 1998 campaign, was accused Thursday of stepping into the gutter himself after he sent out a fundraising e-mail in which he called Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown a "far-right tea-bagger."   

Doesn't this just show you what disdain these politicians have for a dissenting point of view?  "A far right tea-bagger."  Can't you just feel the contempt?  Notice there is never any such thing as a moderate Republican ... only moderate Democrats ... isn't that funny?  No such thing as a "staunch" Democrat, only a "staunch" Republican.  The media ... hysterical ... bunch of one-sided "objectivists."

The two-term Democrat, in accusing Brown of being aligned with the conservative "tea party" movement, used a term that every tea party critic knows refers to a sexual act.

"Chuck has a way of saying things that I don't think he really understands or means, and it's unfortunate," Brown told Fox News Thursday when asked about the e-mail. "I'm not into name-calling. ... so shame on Chuck."

Really?  Chucky?   Talking about things when he doesn't understand what they mean?  Who would have guessed that jackass would start with the braying when he didn't understand what he was braying about?

Liberal television hosts [and the print media] had a field day with the "tea bag"  [can't you just hear them giggling like schoolgirls?] term last year when the tea party movement gained steam. It seemed to lose its luster after the joke got old, but Schumer brought it back as he urged supporters to vote for Democrat Martha Coakley in next Tuesday's high-stakes special election.

Yeah, you think that term got old?  I have news for you.  It didn't get old ... I still hear it all the time.  Here's another headline, libtards, it's not NEARLY as old as it's going to seem when these dipshits start losing their seats in the next election.  Something tells me we'll have heard the last of the term "tea-bagger" after this November.  We need to start calling the communists Democrats  "the tea."  Do you know what happened to the tea in the Boston tea party?  Yes, I think you do.

"Martha Coakley is running to fill the rest of Ted Kennedy's term, and her opponent is a far-right tea-bagger Republican," Schumer wrote.More here:

Heh ... ADIOS, Martha Cockley.

PS, in case you've been living under a rock, the special election for "Ted Kennedy's seat" is this Tuesday (Jan 19.)  Can't wait.  I've got my popcorn ready.

Detection of Alzheimer's 10 years before symptoms?

Diagnosis: Eye drops would be used in the test to highlight diseased cells at the back of the eye

A test that can detect Alzheimer's up to 20 years before any symptoms show is being developed by British scientists.

The simple and inexpensive eye test could be part of routine examinations by high street opticians in as little as three years, allowing those in middle age to be screened.

Dementia experts said it had the power to revolutionise the treatment of Alzheimer's by making it possible for drugs to be given in the earliest stages.

The technique, being pioneered at University College London, could also speed up the development of medication capable of stopping the disease in its tracks, preventing people from ever showing symptoms.

It exploits the fact that the light-sensitive cells in the retina at the back of the eye are a direct extension of the brain. Using eye drops which highlight diseased cells, the UCL researchers showed for the first time in a living eye that the amount of damage to cells in the retina directly corresponds with brain cell death. They have also pinpointed the pattern of retinal cell death characteristic of Alzheimer's. So far their diagnosis has been right every time.

Hollywood (Danny Glover) says "Hee Haw - Hee Haw"

Don't bother watching the video unless you don't believe me but this leftist genius of Hollywood Danny Glover says the earthquake in Haiti was caused by global warming and climate change. He says the earthquake is the response we get for not turning over our sovereignty and money to the morons in the UN getting a stronger climate change agreement in Copenhagen.

How in the hell do people take this crap seriously?  How stupid do you have to be to buy this inane blathering, lock, stock, and barrel?   Hee Haw -- HEEEEEE HAWWWWWW!

Thomas Jefferson on the effect of debt & taxes on freedom

Excerpts - Bold is mine:

And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.

Our landholders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. 

You don't think the government owns your property?  Try not paying the "tax" on it and see to whom it belongs.

From "Thomas Jefferson's blog:"

Another Brilliant Idea

Well - there go your free checks and "no minimum balance fees."

President Barack Obama will announce his intention to impose a fee on more than 20 of the country’s largest banks and financial institutions to help recoup taxpayer bailout money and trim the federal budget deficit, an administration official said.
The fees, expected to be spread over as many as 10 years, will be based on the leverage or amount of liability each firm has, the official said, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. LOL
Obama will formally outline his proposal to raise as much as $120 billion at an event at the White House, according to the official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

So True...

Poor old America ... whatever happened to it ?

Pages of tax code

IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman does not file his own taxes in part because he believes the tax code is complex. Really?  You can't file your own taxes?  You must be an idiot.  Let me just check your credentials.

Shulman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Williams College, a Master of Public Administration degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, and a Juris Doctor degree (magna cum laude) from Georgetown University Law Center.

Yep, just your average American.

During an interview on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program that aired on Sunday, Shulman said he uses a tax preparer for his own returns.

"I've used one for years. I find it convenient. I find the tax code complex so I use a preparer," Shulman said.

Shulman said about 60 percent of Americans use tax preparers and another 20 percent use software to file their returns.

He added, "So you're over 80 percent of people who aren't just sitting down and filling out the forms themselves."

Yes ... 80% ... and nothing wrong with that at all, right?  The way they see it, everything is PERFECTLY fine. He's right about one thing ... congress is at fault for this idiocy. Yet, they want to be in charge of health care and cap & trade and immigration amnesty (again.) I can't WAIT for the November election.
