Time For REAL Change?

Is supposition seditious?

I don’t believe it is. And in a free country, free men must be able to discuss potential unbridled abuse of power without fear of government reprisals.

The Internet is a large-scale version of the “Committees of Correspondence” that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington’s failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.

People are asking, “Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?”

Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.

I think Christian and Robbins make a good case.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Birthday, Mr. President…

Hey, go wish Barack a happy birthday. I did, with a message the bulk of which was from a post I wrote in January.

What a bunch of self-serving, self-absorbed assholes the Dems are. And yes, I used my real name.

Dear Mr. Obama:

I wrote this early this year. I hope you enjoy it on your birthday as you, and your cohorts, like Chelsea Clinton, bask in your disgusting displays of over-the-top conspicuous consumption. You people make me sick.

Raise your hand if you have done any or all of the following since the obamanation was ushered in last January:

Bankrupting private healthcare

Another good reason for tort reform and another beginning of the end for the Old and Sick.

Skilled Healthcare, a 22 location nursing home, could not prove they had 3.2 staff member hours per day per patient over a 6 year period, so a group of lawyers in California managed to find 6 blood suckers to sign on for a class action lawsuit.

Skilled did not have one complaint during the six years, but a California jury still found it reasonable to award the Lawyers and the 6 clients $671 MILLION DOLLARS over this violation.

The company, employees, and patients will be in the street if the appeal does not correct it.

This will also signal most other scumbag Lawyers how to get another free million or more so this is just the beginning. Healthcare has another enemy and possibly no chance at surviving.

With this and ObamaCare there will be more people in the streets with no jobs and no healthcare.

Just had a thought, time to invest heavy in funeral homes, they are about to have more growth than anything else.

A class action lawsuit brought by trial lawyers was filed late last year against Skilled Healthcare of California claiming that the company had violated state regulations that stipulates that nursing homes must maintain 3.2 nursing hours per patient, per day (ppd). The lawsuit claimed that the nursing homes operated by Skilled Healthcare often did not meet the requirement.

Interestingly, there was never any claim from any patient that they’d been harmed or put in danger. Not a single patient claimed personal injury before these lawyers began to file their class action lawsuit.

After a six-month trial the jury decided that the company did violate the rules and awarded the plaintiffs $613 million in statutory damages and $58 million in restitutionary damages.

There is a problem with this award, however. The company only has borrowing credit of $94 million. If the company were to be held to this outrageously high award it would go bankrupt and would be forced to close its doors.

Not only that but some 32,000 people — patients/residents and healthcare workers alike — would lose their heatlhcare facilities and jobs if this award were enforced.

NYT proves it can read

If the NYT can read and study 92,000 pages of wikileaks stuff, why could they not read & report on the measly 2000+ pages each of ObamaCare, ObamaBank, GovernmentMotors, and the other shit that has been shoved down our windpipes to the pits of our stomachs?

92,000 classified documents pertaining to Afghanistan War were leaked by Wikileaks this weekend. SPIEGEL, the New York Times and the Guardian have analyzed the classified documents already.

Sneaky Dogs

Researchers have suddenly discovered that dogs have reasoning abilities. I don’t know how much money was wasted on the study, but if they wanted to know about dogs… all they had to do was ask us!

Sneaky dogs take food quietly to avoid getting caught

LIKE children with their hands in the cookie jar, dogs steal food quietly to make sure they don’t get caught. The finding adds to evidence that dogs can work out what others are thinking.

Shannon Kundey of Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, and colleagues, gave 40 dogs, which had previously been trained not to eat food left on a plate, a chance to take food from inside two containers. Both containers were fitted with bells, but on one container the bells were muted.

When someone was watching, the dogs took food from both containers equally. But if the watcher looked away, for instance by putting their head between their legs, the dogs went for the silent container. This suggests they knew they could get a meal without the watcher hearing them (Applied Animal Behaviour Science, vol 126, p 45).

Kundey says her results back up other evidence that dogs can represent for themselves how others perceive their actions. For example, previous studies had found that dogs are more likely to take food when people are not watching them.

Tell us something we don’t know.

Cornered?

Not if they’re free to move about the rest of the country, like, say, PENNSYLVANIA:

PHOENIX (Reuters) – Nicaraguan mother Lorena Aguilar hawks a television set and a few clothes on the baking sidewalk outside her west Phoenix apartment block.

A few paces up the street, her undocumented Mexican neighbor Wendi Villasenor touts a kitchen table, some chairs and a few dishes as her family scrambles to get out of Arizona ahead of a looming crackdown on illegal immigrants.

“Everyone is selling up the little they have and leaving,” said Villasenor, 31, who is headed for Pennsylvania. “We have no alternative. They have us cornered.”

I’m sorry, I have little sympathy since we are offering up all of OUR crap in garage sales in anticipation of moving to the Keys to live with a relative until we can hopefully peddle our LEGAL asses around and find jobs, something that is not forthcoming here (or California, for that matter) in spite of my considerable talents as a construction worker.

It sounds to me as if the law, not even in effect, is working splendidly.
