I wasn't sure where to put this but I really wanted to share.

My friend Angel (some of you know him) told me this story last night.

He said that he was in Jackson Heights yesterday and saw these two guys meeting on the street.
This was their conversation:

"Yo nigga wass up"?
"Yo man, you can't be sayin' that word no more".
"Why not? What word do I say now"?
"Mister president".

He said he almost died laughing.
"Mister president"!!!

Brilliant.

THAT is amazing Dad!

Isn't it kind of gorgeous.

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Winston S. Churchill

"Ferris I do have a test today. that wasn't bull. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point, I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists They could be fascist anarchists. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car."

Ride's Over.

Divine Debt Trumps All

Already famous throughout Europe, this international bestseller plumbs recently opened archives in the former Soviet bloc to reveal the actual, practical accomplishments of Communism around the world: terror, torture, famine, mass deportations, and massacres. Astonishing in the sheer detail it amasses, the book is the first comprehensive attempt to catalogue and analyze the crimes of Communism over seventy years. Black Book of Communism

a short break from the healthcare debate to remember just how nuts creationists are....

seriously.

Well, if you DON'T believe in causality, what do you believe in?

causality can be debated by philosophers and there is nothing to say something has to be caused or not but the science is undeniable. The Earth is 5 billion years old not 5,000. If you dispute that I really don't know what to say.

Back to Healthcare.

Not sure if anyone will be able to summarize where we are better than Alan Grayson did.

Shocking that on average 112 people die everyday in the US because their healthcare wasn't covered...

So, who's pockets are being lined well enough that they don't mind the blood on their hands?

it's so true. The spineless Democrats in the Senate should listen to Grayson more. At least it looks like Pelosi will get a good bill out of the House.

the House is voting on the Health Care reform bill today. This is truly historic. While not perfect, if the House version makes it into law it could save millions of lives over time, relieve the crushing anxiety so many people feel about being able to get medical care and allow our nation to join the rest of the advanced nations that guarantee health care to their citizens.

And now on to the Senate!

Here's my healthcare story:
Last time I was in the emergency room at a major hospital in the city, they wanted me to give them a 'stool sample'. So I did. They never came to a diagnosis about what was attacking my digestive system even though they kept me in the hospital for 8 hours doing every test including an MRI which they billed at $3,500 ! When I left they told me to call back the next day to find out the results of their test on my stool sample.
When I called I was put on hold for about ten minutes. And then the doctor told me,

"I'm sorry but we lost your shit."

LOL. Did you then lose your shit on them?

Doesn't look like there is a snowball's chance in Hell that any bill in any form is going to pass the Senate.
