Industry sponsored "study"

So the health insurance industry came out with this "study" that, SURPRISE, says enacting health insurance reforms may lead to higher premiums.

Apparently they'd rather we do nothing and guarantee higher premiums.

Tort Regulation


The Republicans love the idea of limiting the liability of huge negligent corporations, or in this case unsafe hospitals and/or incompetent doctors. The same "free-marketers" who go age shit when you bring up the very idea of government regulation; like such evils as regulating pollution, safety standards, or energy usage, suddenly have no problem with limiting, or "regulating", the general public's access to just legal recourse. So just call it what it is, Tort Regulation.

My Hard Earned Money!!!

I don’t want to hear one more self-centered, ego-centric a-hole tell me about how they don’t want the government taking their “hard-earned” money. Hey buddy, only in a country like this could you show up to work, push some papers around your desk, update your twitter status 14 times, and then surf the web for 4 hours, and still have the nerve to bitch that you have to pay taxes out of your $42,500. If it wasn’t for the government and some well-reasoned, well thought out employment REGULATIONS, where would you be? I’ll tell you, you’d be working 14 hour days with horrible chemicals, dangerous machinery, mind-numbing tedium, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and that’d be one of the good jobs, Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s stylist.

Next time you feel like telling us all about the government taking your hard earned money, unless of course you’re a 13 year-old working in a third-world sweat shop, shut the fuck up you ungrateful d-bag.

Scared???

They told us to be afraid of him because he's Muslim. He "palled around with terrorists" and people who hate America. He is a socialist, he's a fascist, he's a racist, he's a nazi. He's doing too much. He's not doing enough. We should be afraid of his female Latino friend, she hates us!!! They told us the President of the United States actually supports legislation that would systematically euthanize the elderly.

They told us the government couldn't do anything right. They said the government would do such a great job, they would drive the poor innocent insurance companies out of business. They said once gay people could marry each other, people would be marrying their dogs. They said if the "rich" had to pay more in taxes, or if corporations were regulated in any way, they would loose their incentive to succeed. They said the existing estate tax would kill the family farm. They said there was no such thing as global warming.

Now these fucking paid liars are telling us to be afraid of the President of the United States publicly addressing the schoolchildren of America. They want us to believe that our children will be hypnotized by his oratory prowess and then he'll use them as pawns in his socialist, racist, fascist plot against us, and we'll be powerless to stop him. There will be no way we'll be able to actually sit down and speak with our children, or discuss intelligently what the President had said; and what parts we agreed with, and what parts we did not, and why.

No!!! This exchange of ideas must not happen!!! The President's address must be suppressed. His views must be filtered, and censored....... otherwise........ SOCIALISM!!!!

New Rules


Can we just say that from now on anything involving Michael Jackson is not news. I don't give a fuck if it turns out that Osama bin Laden, Jon Gosselin, and he were involved in a super gay 3-way; and to punish them God created the financial crisis. I don't want to hear about it.
Actually maybe that would be newsworthy, but that's it. ENOUGH!!!

I think my wife has a thing for George Hincapie


FemmeSnide got me a pair of these super cool sunglasses for our 2 year anniversary.

"Try them on," she said.
"Give me a kiss."
"Harder!"
"Oh, George.... I just loved the way you led out Cavendish on the Champs-Elysees."

"WHAT???"

"Oh, umm, nothing."

What do you think?

Favre


All this talk about Favre and how devastated Packer fans must be, please, give me a break. Speaking as a Packer Fan, and one over the age of 12, I don't idolize the red-necked hillbilly who hands the ball to the running back, why would I? I am a fan of the Packers, not of a singular player. And just as I liked Kevin Garnett when he was on the Wolves, once you put on another jersey, "Fuck You, you're the enemy", I hope you contract shingles of the anus.


I like the Packers, hate the Vikes; Favre playing for them or not won't change that scenario one bit.

I want my country back!!!!!!

I want my country back! This administration wants to turn the country into socialists!!! I want the days back when the government spied on me without my knowledge. When they tortured people and imprisoned them with no charge, for as long as they wanted without even the most basic protections outlined in the Geneva Conventions. When they started wars of choice and invaded sovereign countries.
When they did their best to reward the very few who controlled the means of production over the many in labor. When they gave enormously wasteful contracts to friends of the Party. When they looked past expertise for the sake of political affiliation. When they let Party allies make policy, oversee themselves, and operate above the law. When they consolidated and manipulated the media. When they blended the policies of the state to fall in line with their Party's theological philosophy.


Not like that Hitler-loving Socialist, Obama, who wants to try and keep us from heading into another depression by energizing the economy and at the same time trying to provide health care for those unlucky enough who fall through the cracks by euthanizing the elderly.

The Hills made me bulimic....

….. and not my own low self-esteem and incredibly shallow misconception that one’s self-worth is inversely related to the size of their ass. A sentiment ironically propagated by absurd magazine covers of girls in bikinis just like this one!


But look at me now all you young, impressionable teenage girls, see my bikini body? See? I must be a good person.

NVGP and Marcia Brady

NVGP is Marcia Brady; here's how. Remember the episode where Marcia makes a date to the prom or wherever with her old friend Charley. Good old reliable Charley. The friend who was there when she had braces and a training bra and was putting on races 10 years ago and he was the only guy to show up. Charley, the guy, who's clubs supply volunteers for races and connections to sponsors. Charley, the guy who was there for Marcia through thick and thin attending race after race from the beginning, year after year, not only as a participant, but also a spectator.



Apparently Marcia was more popular than maybe she thought and Doug Simpson, you know BMOC Doug Simpson, also asked her to the very same dance and she said yes. She just got so wet between the legs at the thought of some dreamy, domestic, slap-dick, "pro" racers coming to town that she completely dogged Charley. She said she couldn't go with Charley to the dance, "something suddenly came up." So instead, she'd reserve 12 spots (out of the 150) for local racers.


BMOC, Doug Simpson showed his true colors when Peter accidentally hit LaPorte... I mean NVGP.... I mean Marcia in the face with a football, and once Doug got a look at her nose, he dumped her without giving it a second thought; plus there was a better race going on at Tour de Beauce. So when given the opportunity, instead of allowing more local racers to race, she filled the race with a bunch of random amateurs, some say completely out of spite.



But you know who was there in the end? That's right, Charley. Good old Charley. He took her to the prom anyway, fucked up nose and all, and all he asked in return was a handy in the car on the ride home.


Well, here we are......... Marcia (NVGP) has been fucking with Charley (MCF racers) for a few years now. This year the "pros" were only able to fill something like 60 of the 150 spots, due in large part to a competing race. Doug, or the "pros" didn't give it a second thought and went to the better race. Marcia had a perfect opportunity to expand the participation of loyal, local racers in what truly is a first-class event, but she basically said, go fuck yourself to Charley, 12 racers, that's it.


My question is why doesn't Marcia like Charley, and why won't she be nicer to him... and secondarily, when is Charley going to wake the fuck up and stop supporting LaPorte... or at least throw a football at his face, or jam one up his ass?


The remedy, as I outlined last year (you can read it here) is to simply prioritize the entries into the race. You could reserve spots for 12 local riders, then "pros", and if there are spots left, let the rest of the eligible locals sign up, followed by out of town amateurs. Easy. Problem solved. Everybody wins.

Piss at any temp.


Finally, a beer bottle to tell me when it's cold. I am so fucking sick of having to touch it on my own to try and figure it out. Plus, what if I had just had a traumatic brain injury and am unable to feel my arms??? What then??? Huh, smartguy? I may end up with warm Coors Light in my mouth, and no one wants that.


Thank you Coors Light, it's ingenuity like this that will keep the US as the greatest country on earth for years to come.
