When A Career is Over

Peter King has a new admirer.  Peter King might as well find a volcano to jump into. It's that, or admit he can't be trusted - like Jeffords - jump parties and fade into obscurity.

Have You Had A Look?

If you haven't done a little research, examined what's available and really thought about how the Affordable Health Act  will affect you, then you might want to make the effort. If you work - in any capacity - you'll either buy some really crappy insurance or pay a fine. Either way, the new tax is here and you'll have less money in your pocket.

If you want to REALLY perform a little research, look how the law was passed. I'll save you some time, if you don't have any to spare: Absolutely no Republican voted for the law. It was all Democrats and if you're not happy, direct your anger to those responsible. I'm sure they'll love to hear from you. After all, they're the party for the working folks.... right?

While you're out and about, don't forget the AARP and the unions endorsed the act. If you have affiliation with either, you might begin to wonder how they represent your interests. I'm sure those running the organizations have a really good salary, healthcare, and retirement to cover the cost of any healthcare; unlike the poor bastards that pay the costs for those luxuries.

This Is Interesting

The First Lady announced limited tweets, due to the "shut down"  I'm assuming her tweets require part of her staff to complete and the staff is furloughed.

How about that? Having someone paid to tweet for you? I'd call the the life of luxury and embarrassingly selfish. This makes me wonder if one of her staff wipes her butt.

Meanwhile, in a moment of irrelevancy, the President compared Obamacare to owning an I-phone. 

"...Consider that just a couple of weeks ago, Apple rolled out a new mobile operating system, and within days, they found a glitch, so they fixed it. I don't remember anybody suggesting Apple should stop selling iPhones or iPads or threatening to shut down the company if they didn't. That's not how we do things in America. We don't actively root for failure. We get to work, we make things happen, we make them better, we keep going...."

Now, that one left me scratching my head. If Apple built a phone that didn't do what was advertised, quit when you tried to activate it, had no guarantee, was sold at twice the advertised price and somebody threatened to fine you if you didn't buy one, I'm thinking Apple would close within the first week, due to lack of sales and threats.

So, the madness continues. 

A Weenie Has Spoken

Peter King has proclaimed his weenieness. Maybe he should just send his testicles to Harry Reid. That, or go jump off a bridge.

Summer is Fading

A cold front almost made it to the coast over the weekend, stalled and washed out. The result was torrential rains in some areas with the continuance of the oppressive humidity. Lows are in the 70's and highs around 90, unless thunderstorms cool the air.

A strong front is forecast for this weekend. After it arrives, the air will dry out, the temperatures will lower and we'll have the start of cooler autumn days. Included in this relief is the substantial lowering of the chances of a tropical cyclone, which is always a good thing.

I'm ready for cooler days. After a sweltering weekend, I can use the cooler days, with the relief from sweating until my clothes are soaked.
