Thousands Gather to Protest Global Warming

Drunk? Or on Drugs? You Decide.

The Senate Health Care travesty is bad enough, But to think that it was the product of inebriation .... Why should be we be surprised?

Stoddard Released Pending Appeal

"Sticky Fingers" Stoddard, the Maricopa County, Arizona, courtroom deputy who brazenly lifted papers from a defense attorney's file is out of jail pending appeal. In the meantime, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has filed criminal charges ... against the judge who incarcerated the sticky-fingered deputy. It is reported that the prosecutor acting with Sheriff Joe had a hard time justifying the charges in a press conference, apparently acknowledging that there is no actual evidence that the judge he charged as done anything wrong (at least according to the New Times reporter). Read about the criminal charges and press conference here.

The saga continues. Stay tuned.

House and Senate Health Bills Compared

Here is a comparison of the Senate bill and the House bill both of which promise to destroy health care freedom in the United States.

Coal in the Stocking

The Senate passed the health care disaster last night to destroy health care freedom in America. All Democrats and independents in the Senate voted in favor and all Republicans voted against it.

As for the Democrats and independents: Defeat Them. All.

No mercy at the polls. We will remember.

The Ant and the Grasshopper (The Age of Obama Version)

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well-fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing,“It’s Not Easy Being Green.”

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing,“We Shall Overcome.” Then the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight. Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug-related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle (once prosperous and peaceful) neighborhood. The entire country collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful who you vote for in 2010.

(Stolen from Columbus Dispatch comments on the Senate's Obamacare passage.)

Obama's Lie of the Year: Death Panels

It turns out that the death panel is back in Harry Reid's cash-for-corruptocrats health care bill. It is called: "Independent Payment Advisory Board."

The latest flap is about trying to make this death panel's decision unreviewable as a practical matter. Sen. Harry Reid proposes to require a super-majority vote to review any board decision on rationing health care.

Can you say, "Death panel?"
