Obamacare Hatred

63% Want Obama's Scalpel

Today's Rasmussen poll showing  that 63% Favor Repeal of National Health Care Plan is bad news for congressional Obamunists. I think they hoped that once passed, the sheep would go back to grazing and forget about the heavy handed way it was hammered through.  "Prior to today, weekly polling had shown support for repeal ranging from 54% to 58%,just 32% oppose repeal."  Clap-Calp-Clap

KINDLE PC

Techno Thrills

I tried every-which way to avoid buying a Kindle book, because of its lack of portability.  But for $9.95 I figgered, what can I lose?  Amazon offers a free download of their PC Kindle player, and that's what you're looking at here.  Is it heavier than a book?  Yes, unless it's War and Peace, but that's what laps are for.  Also, it turns out that the ACER has a convenient screen rotate, so the EeeRotate utility I spoke of here is unnecessary.  The way I look at it, I spent $239 on a notebook computer, and got a Kindle reader free. 

By the way, I think one of the reasons I like a PC over a MAC is the opportunity to screw things up, and then fix them.  I'm getting the same sense of adventure here; I beat the man. And look here.  Amazon is selling ACER with "KINDLE INSTALLED."

Let My People GO MOFOS

Government uses a sledge hammer to kill flies, and nowhere is this more evident than civil rights.  I disagree with Michael Steele that Rand Paul's "philosophy is misplaced."  The 1964 Civil Rights Act did overstep,  and that statement of fact no way implies support for unequal rights. *

I remember a 60 Minutes episode, from the 1990's, that focused on a small manufacturer in the northeast.  Reflecting the neighborhood, ninety-eight percent of the plant's employees were Black, or Hispanic. When a Black woman (claimed ) she applied for a job, and not hired because of race,  the EEOC took action.  That resulted in a financial judgment that led to the company's bankruptcy, and closure.  More EEOC, off the top of my head.
  •  Employers can't ask applicants whether they've been in prison, use drugs, been dishonorably discharged, or have sex with animals.
  • In 1997 the EEOC ruled that  disseminating derogatory electronic messages  regarding `ebonics' " to your co-workers is against the law.
  •  Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have used the Civil Rights Act to shake-down corporations to the tune of millions.
  •  Under the umbrella of the Civil Rights Act, democrats have created masterworks of ridiculous  racial gerrymandering
    LA-04
  • Here is a brief catalogue of some of what's been described by various agencies  and courts as "harassment" under the CRA:
             Co-workers' use of "draftsman" and "foreman" (instead of "draftsperson" and
             "foreperson"). "Men Working" signs. Sexually suggestive jokes, even ones that
             aren't misogynistic. Derogatory pictures of the Ayatollah Khomeini and American
             flags burning in Iran. In the words of one court's injunction: remarks "contrary to
             your fellow employees' religious beliefs." "Offensive speech implicating
             considerations of race." (Eugene Volokh, 1997)

Dittos, Mr. Steele

* I think Americans are all for equal rights under the law.  That includes [ahem] allowing police to ask  traffic violators with Mexican features to show identification - like the rest of us.
