If you die dickless, what good are 72 virgins?

Ha! I betcha Allah gives your dick back!

His lawyers say he needs skin grafting. You’re in luck, we have free health care coming, Abu-daba-du… or whatever your name is. (not only can’t I not spell it but I can’t pronounce it, either.)

What did your state get out of this health care deal, Harry?

SHERMAN FREDERICK: Hey Harry: Where is Nevada’s gift?

I’m very disappointed.

It’s Christmas morning and I can’t find one single gift to Nevada from Sen. Harry Reid under the health-care “reform” tree.

Louisiana got a nice package. Florida and Connecticut, too. And Nebraska scored a really big present.

Just three days ago Uncle Harry said that if a senator didn’t get his state “something” in the health-care “reform” package, then that senator wasn’t doing his or her job.

And yesterday Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., upped the ante. He said that every state did “get something” in the measure.

OK. I’m excited. What’s Nevada’s gift? Uncle Harry, as everyone knows, is the Big Kahuna of the Senate. He “brings home the bacon,” his TV commercials claim. So if Nebraska got dispensation from Medicaid increases forever, one can only imagine the magnitude of Nevada’s present.

Flat screen TVs for every man, woman and child? No, no — that’s way too small.

A new military base … for every county?

A lump of coal and a power plant to fire it?

Maybe double our water allotment from the Colorado River?

Oh, I know: Lifetime exemptions for Nevada residents and all of their descendents from federal income tax? That would be nice.

Whatever it is, I can’t wait for the UPS truck tomorrow. The suspense is unbearable.

Mark Steyn on Health Care

Mark Steyn/JewishWorldReview:

In Canada, once the wait times for MRIs and hip surgery start creeping up over two years, the government distracts the citizenry with a Royal Commission appointed to study possible “reforms” which reports back a couple of years later usually with recommendations to “strengthen” the government’s “commitment” to every Canadian’s “right” to health care by renaming the Department of Health the Department of Health Services and abolishing the Agency of Health Administration and replacing it with a new Agency of Administrative Health Operations which would report to a reformed Council of Health Policy Administrative Coordination to be supervised by a streamlined Public Health Operations & Administration Assessment Bureau. This package of “reforms” would cost a mere 12.3 gazillion dollars and usually keeps the lid on the pot until the wait times for MRIs start creeping up over three years.

….

The so-called “public option” is not Page 3,079, Section (f), Clause VII. The entire bill is a public option — because that’s where it leads, remorselessly. The so-called “death panel” is not Page 2,721, Paragraph 19, Sub-section (d), but again the entire bill — because it inserts the power of the state between you and your doctor, and in effect assumes jurisdiction over your body. As the savvier Dems have always known, once you’ve crossed the Rubicon, you can endlessly re-reform your health reform until the end of time, and all the stuff you didn’t get this go-round will fall into place, and very quickly.


Obama’s promises that “never really got off the ground”

Remember all the transparency talk from Obama? Legislation that would be online for 3 days or 5 so that everyone could read it before he signed? The open debates on Capital Hill that we would be able to view?

All those lofty promises he hasn’t kept.

He has a history of letting his promises kinda slide. This from his pre-presidential days:

Obama took at least one concrete step to turn this notion of the legislator as community organizer into a reality. In his first column in the Hyde Park Herald, the same one in which he addressed welfare, he announced that he was “organizing citizens’ committees” to help him shape legislation. He asked his constituents to call his office if they wanted to participate. That kind of airy talk about changing politics gave way almost immediately to the realities of the job. I asked a longtime Obama friend what ever became of the committees. “They never really got off the ground,” he said. By 2001, if there was any maxim from community organizing that Obama lived by, it was the Realpolitik commandment of Saul Alinsky, the founding practitioner of community organizing, to operate in “the world as it is and not as we would like it to be.”


Napolitano: “The system worked” – POLITICO Live – POLITICO.com

Pete Hoekstra asked a very relevant question this morning: Why is this president who is “out front” on every other issue (remember the insulation is sexy speech?) silent on anything that is terror related? Why does he have something to say immediately when he thinks cops “act stupidly” but when an Islamofacist tries to blow up a plane, he has nothing to say?

Napolitano (I apologize to all of America, she came from Arizona) says “the system worked” …. after he was caught.

*Insert raised eyebrows and a pregnant pause here*

Janet, you big dummy! Of course the system worked – after a brave, guy from Amsterdam saved the day and a couple hundred lives. Then the system worked because the bomber was treated like a criminal, read his rights and lawyer-ed up!

This guy is not a criminal! He’s a soldier who is at war with us like any other radical Muslim. When are you dummies in government going to figure this out?

These dickheads want to kill us! Do you get it, Janet? When you finally do get it Janet, I hope it’s not too late.

God help us all if they are ever successful…
