80 pounds of rabid dog

Today's anagram

How about a law that says you can't propose a law that the Speaker of the House can't lift?  Pelosi's new top secret Obamacare bill comes in at 2000 pages.  That's four reams of 20# white bond, or 80 pounds of crap (=  two bags of Sakrete).  Pelosi ain't gonna lift that.  Plus, right now she's super pissed because someone in her caucus leaked the super secret whip count showing that she isn't close to having enough votes to pass this stinker. Her response? House Democrats blocked the public from attending the unveiling ceremony of the trillion + dollar health-care bill this morning. If enacted, every one of the 400,000 words will cost us $2,200,000.00. (source) Every sheet of paper will cost us 449,246,231.15, but it's none of your dadgum bidness, don't ya know?  There are "blue Dog" democrats, and there are the foaming at the mouth, rabid dog 'crats.  We're currently enthralled by the latter.

The Politico Is Pretty Much Just Making Stuff Up Now It's about Sarah Palin, so that makes it cool I guess. Consider this headline: "Iowa Republicans wince at Sarah Palin's $100K speaking fee"

So little to say; so much time to say it.  Sigh.

“ Obama Salutes Slain Soldiers Return to US… But Won’t Send Reinforcements One word describes him.  He's a punk. It's all a big circle for the Democrats More like an asylum if John Kerry's the answer . AARP: Reform advocate and insurance salesman "AARP, has put the weight of its 40 million members behind health-care reform, saying many of the proposals will lower costs and increase the quality of care for older Americans." Only the senilie among those 40 million support the plan, and AARP is throwing them into an early grave for the sake of the cash bonanza  it promises the organization. Phuk Arp. If You Can’t Save Everybody on a Sinking Ship, Don’t Try to Save Anybody Protecting teachers’ unions over children, the US Secretary of Education rationalizes the Obama administration’s opposition to a successful school-vouchers program in our nation’s capital. “You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and industries.” Enviro-wackos?  or Osama bin Laden?  Same thing. Canonize Michelle Bachman Achieving sainthood status among conservative (real) Americans does not require three miracles.  It requires driving at least three of the looniest MSNBC All-Stars into constant debilitating frenzy.  Saint Michelle Wood Eye! it is then. ”

The Chocolate War

and other disasters

Three years ago I purchased a chocolate fountain at BJ's for $19.95.  Why?  I like a little flair at family to-dos, and $20 seemed like a steal of a deal.  I gifted Mo-Sup with it for Christmas.  She, lacking my love of gadgetry, rolled her eyes.  And, after reading that you couldn't just toss a bag a Nestle chocolate chips into the thing, but had to buy special pellets, and the 6 hour cleanup after each use, I asked the kids who wanted a free chocolate fountain?  No takers, only jeers.  So I secreted it in the back of Ro's car.  A few week's later I found it in the back of my van, so at first opportunity it went into Greeps's car, and then everyone's car after being bounced back.  Ro even got it a second time.  I thought about using it once and throwing it out, but have never seen those special chocolate pellets.  I also considered a mushroom soup fountain, but too much trouble. It sits yet in the garage, unpacked. I mention this because the chocolate fountain is first on this list of 20 Utterly Pointless Kitchen Appliances.  Note: Aside from the turkey baster and electric knife, both of which I've found useful, I'm in total agreement with this list.

Low down cheats

Whose deal?

</fantasy> Let's pretend a frustrated congress, desperate to enact anything called Health Care reform,  passes not a 1500 page, trillion dollar monstrosity, but 5 pages that deal with chicken pox and measles.  Let's say that happened.  When democrats from the House and Senate get together to negotiate differences into a unified bill, here's what will happen next, by way of example. </fantasy> Last month the full senate voted to strip the District of Columbia of forest fire funds in a land management bill.  Insert your own joke here.  Yesterday, during the reconciliation process, democrats "rebuked the Forest Service for spending stimulus forest firefighting money on D.C. green-jobs programs, but gave the city the money anyway." Five pages of Health care will become 1500 pages.  It's what gummint does when"four flushers" are the only players.  Ah, for the days when cheats were shot dead by Bill Hickok.
