Mrs. Elmo Says, “Sneeze like this!”

By Bruce Anderson

I ask this question in regard to a news story out of Washington D.C. today; is it your obligation to twist your body and possibly pull a muscle or pinch a nerve in order to use this “new” method of sneezing?

The preferred method of sneezing today should be the one leg behind your head while standing on the other leg. Some of you, I know I do, prefer the method of women lifting their skirts over their heads when sneezing and men to lift their shirts over their heads to prevent their deadly viral spew from entering into the breathing space of their fellow citizens.

Are these people (in the government) crazy? When have you ever seen anyone use this method of sneezing? Be thankful that the sneezer, who prompted the Kathleen Sebelius demonstration, did so in his hand and didn’t just let it fly. She then went on to insult the sneezer (NBC White House reporter Chuck Todd) by suggesting that Sesame Street’s Elmo could give Todd a special briefing.

Thank you so much for the correct method of sneezing instruction Mrs. Elmo.

This method of sneezing is as unnatural as socialism in a republic. I recommend sneezing into a zip lock plastic bag (biodegradable of course) and deposit it in a biohazard trash bin.

ACORN, RICO, OUCH!

By Bruce Anderson

I have been calling for the complete defunding of ACORN ever since their employees were arrested, indicted and sentenced for voter registration fraud in the 2008 general election. We now have evidence that ACORN has allegedly engaged other criminal activities, the same activities in multiple states…or interstate criminal activity.

Let me think for a minute. I believe that we have a law which covers this kind of criminal activity. Do you know what that law is? I’ll wait while you look it up on the internet.

Still waiting.

Still waiting.

Have you got it? If not then I’ll tell you, it’s the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act. We’ve had this law on the books the entire time ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform) has allegedly been involved in their criminal activities. In fact the law predates any wrong doing that ACORN may have been engaged in. And it is within the purview of the FBI to investigate those violations. I guess they must have been busy with something else or they never saw the television news reporting of those alleged illegal voter registration fraud cases in multiple states or read the newspaper articles about those cases. Guess they just didn’t put it together that ACORN was in most states and that those indictable violations of voter laws happened in multiple states at the same time. I wonder what they were doing.

It couldn’t be that the RICO is applicable to only mobsters or members of organized crime in Chicago could it? No, wait…ACORN is in Chicago so that can’t be it.

OUCH (Organized Unindicted Criminal Hooligans) of ACORN should be investigated by the FBI under the RICO Act to prove or disprove their involvement in interstate criminal activities.

It would appear that from a tiny bad ACORN a gigantic corrupt criminal organization has grown.

Obamacare Resurrected...Heal!

I attended the September 1st Tucson town hall meeting on healthcare reform. The auditorium held a capacity crowd of 1200 people. The overflow crowd was at least another 2,000. As a witness to this event, I would estimate that 90% of that crowd reaction was against this Obamacare legislation. Rep. Giffords stated the there were at least 20 versions of this legislation floating around congress. She also stated the she would not vote for any bill which did not include a “pay-go” provision in it. Where is that money going to come from?

GGiffordsThe concerned audience wondered why the government wanted to reinvent the healthcare system instead of passing tort reform. As insurance is commerce, which falls under Congressional powers, pass federal laws which enable insurance companies to sell their insurance across state lines. And while they are at it, eliminate Medicare fraud estimated to be $60 billion and growing.

Do you really want the government to reinvent something they created which has been proven to be wasteful and inefficient? TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) was created to buy up the financial instructions “toxic assets”, how much of the $700 billion and $150 in congressional bribes for their votes went to buy those “toxic assets”? Zero! Not one penny of that “have to pass right now” bill went for “toxic assets”. And you trust them to dismantle a working medical system and replace it with what?

This government diverts funds from Social Security, The Stimulus Package and God knows what else in their four book accounting system. I pray that you would utilize some critical thinking before you give this government the thumbs up for increasing our country’s’ by even one penny. Wake up already! They never fix the problems, they pass place holder problems so they’ll have something in the future to activate the base with and to acquire yet more public funds and power. The government grows, it never shrinks.

Today's Vernacular Nonsense

 

In a local diner a costumer asks,“Waitress, could I have the eggs over easy please.” “You sure can sweetie. Over easy coming right up.” Minutes later, “Here ya go sweetie, enjoy.” “Waitress, I ordered over easy these are cooked right through. It was a simple order. What’s the matter with you? I just wanted my eggs runny. Why did you bring me the wrong order? You must be a fascist.”

In another part of town, “What do you mean you disagree with me? You must be a racist.

Down the block, “You aren’t for the Obama Healthcare Reform? You must be an Astroturf, un-American, racists, war mongering, fascists, political terrorists, traitor, right-wing nut job.”

Back at the diner, “Here’s your runny eggs sweetie.” "Thanks you little Nazi.”

Tinkering With the Process



In the article "Momentum building for appointment"
written by Reid Wilson he cites Sen Harry Reid saying, "While it is ultimately up to the people of Massachusetts and their representatives at the state house to decide this matter, Sen. Reid agrees with Sen. Kennedy and Gov. Patrick that the law should be changed," Jim Manley, a Reid spokesman, said. "With so many important matters to be decided, the people of the commonwealth need two senators to represent Massachusetts until the special election."
 
My response to anyone trying to circumnavigate the current law is this: Shame on you Sen. Reid and all of those Democrats calling for yet another 180 degree change in the process Massachusetts uses to fill vacant seats of elected officials.
 
This is just another fishy government move.

The election laws in Massachusetts are meaningless if you continue to change them on a whim.

Unbelievable Senator, you would undo the late Sen. Edward Kennedys (D-Mass) work. It was his wish to change the law as it now stands. Unless, of course, he was trying to self serve his party again by having the law he insisted on changing return back to its original form. OMG, this is getting confusing. Where is the representation of the people when their election process is continually tinkered with by the Democratic Party?

Oh, I just had a eureka moment, the law is there at the pleasure of the Democratic National Party and for purpose of serving their best interests. Now your actions and those of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy make sense.

To clear up any further confusion of Mass election laws, might I offer this solution, write your election laws into your state constitution.

That way you could save time and the taxpayers' money by not having to continually pass these turnstile laws.

This solution is fool proof; again write this into your state constitution. You are going to love the simplicity of this one.

Write that "Whereas the Governor of the State of Massachusetts is a member of the Democratic Party vacant seats will be appointed by the Governor of the state. Governors from any party other than the Democratic Party will order a special election to be held between 145 and 160 days from the time of that seats vacancy."

There that should cover all of your Democratic bases in Mass.

What do you think?
