I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don’t like their health insurance, if it’s too expensive, they can’t afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks.

When?
When did we become afraid to listen to our president speak? When did we become fearful to let our children hear him? When did free speech become “propaganda?” When did an opportunity to investigate change become “socialism”? When …did America loose the opportunity for productive dialog? I’m so very discouraged.

I talked to my mom this weekend, and as usual, she brought me up to date on the goings-on of my hometown. She’s the principal at the elementary school, and last weekend, one of her teachers received some bad news. Her daughter, who is 30, married and has 3 children, found out she has liver failure and needs a transplant to live.
The problem? Her...
Hell In A Handbag
Me: “That will be 17.50, please.”
Customer: “Are you a Christian, dear?”
Me: “Why do you ask?”
Customer: “Are you?”
Me: “Well, no. Why do you want to know?”
Customer: “Oh. I would like to be helped by someone else, please.”
Manager: “Good morning ma’am, I hear you’ve been having a problem with the clerk?”
Customer: “Oh, she didn’t make any trouble, it’s just that I don’t want my money to be handled by someone not of the faith. You should be careful, she’ll probably nick from the till when you’re not looking.”
Manager: “You’re right, ma’am, I shall definitely have to reprimand her.”
Me: *surprised* “What for?”
Manager: “For failing to notice that the lady was not planning on paying for the three Mars bars and the map of Europe she must have put in her bag while you were fetching me.”
(The customer freezes for a second, then looks at her bag.)
Customer: “Good heavens! I must’ve been so distracted I didn’t even notice the devil putting them there!”

Idiot
So my boss calls and says “It doesn’t work” and I tell him to reboot and if that doesn’t work LET ME KNOW. No call back. Cool it worked! Three hours later he tells me that it needs to work in an hour. WTF????? Have you fucking ever heard of communication? Oh, wait, that’s our business NOT our policy.

A man protesting health care reform with other members of the Tea Party coalition at a townhall forum in Mehlville, MO, was allegedly beaten up by members of the Service Employees International Union.
His lawyer has taken up a collection for his medical expenses because he recently lost his job, and along with it, his health insurance.

Old?
Why is it that Americans think that someone who opens a business in a building that was built in 1926, or for that matter a building that is less than 100 years old and still being used, is something to behold, like this is something special? The apartment I stayed in in Italy was 400 years old. It was always a living space. They fix their stuff. They don’t tear it down and rebuild. It sort...
