It's been a while since I blogged anything, mostly because I run my stream of consciousness through Facebook as they pop into my head. 99% of the time it is humor or my comment on a news story...and sometimes the line gets blurred and people have no idea where the news stops and the humor starts. I am not sure if that is a complement to me an insult or them? Usually when I see some inane post I often think "really"....but I rarely post a reply when then are that bad. However I usually leave them up for all the world to see. People can always remove their proof of inanness.

I have not been preforming as much as I would like, but that is mostly on me, as the kids have been busy and I always said my kids come before my comedy. I would rather see a good ballgame or skating show with them than miss it because I needed my narcissism fix on stage. Also I am not an ass kisser nor do I beg for stage time...you want funny....you know were you can find me. If not...well good for you. For a while I had a nice little thing going on a local radio show on the FM in the AM here in Central PA but they are undergoing some major renovations and do not have a direct on air phone line for now. And that is important since my segments are called in. I am chomping at the bit to get back to that.

I have thought of doing a Pod Cast or Online radio show or some such thing but...well I am lazy and talking with out hearing a response is kinda odd for me. So perhaps I will stick to doing crap on FB and on the Blog. While FB does provide for some more immediate feed back....some times shit...and good shit falls thought the cracks. So I guess here you will have a place to find a days worth....not that just clicking on my name on FB wont do the same thing. But what ever floats the boat.

This also provides me a place to get long winded or go off on a topic that I really don't want to start WWIII on FB over. Cause honestly...while I like debating...I doubt anyone's mind is ever changed over what is said here. If it was...Obama would have lost in a land slide.

What are you afraid of...?

We live in an age were we like to label and identify all the groups we belong to. Whether its sports team, our national heritage  a religion, a club...you name it. Well ...unless you are a liberal. See liberals are a funny group...they love to label others. Racist, Xenophobe, Homophobe, Zionist, Sexist they love to toss them around like a sailor with a fist full of singles at a tittie bar. But the crazy thing is...then never ever call themselves a LIBERAL...ever....they will say something like "progressive" or "independent" or "I don't like to label myself, you racist conservative pig!"

Why is that? Are the not proud of what they have achieved? I say if you are a liberal be proud! Stand tall...don't hid behind those other words or phrases! If you have the balls to put an Obama sticker on your Prius or Subaru then you should have the balls to identify your self as a card carrying liberal! After all...you earned it!

Robert Holmes...father of the Batman Killer...and perhaps a bigger story.

I did't write this...I came across it on the net and the links seem to just go into a chat room....


Look I am not a "black helicopter" guy...but this is interesting. I do remember the morning of the shooting that the MSM said the FBI had taken his father to Colorado. I thought that was kinda odd...they could have interviewed him in SD. Not sure this will get any kinda press.


"Most important to note about James Holmes is that his father, Robert Holmes, was said to have been scheduled to testify within the next few weeks before a US Senate panel on the largest bank fraud scandal in world history that is currently unfolding and threatens to destabilize and destroy the Western banking system. Robert Holmes, whose “blueblood” family links go back to the Mayflower, is known throughout the global banking community as being the creator of one of the most sophisticated computer algorithms ever developed and is credited with developing predictive models for financial services; credit and fraud risk models, first and third party application fraud models and internet/online banking fraud models.Educated at the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University, Robert Holmes is currently the senior lead scientist with the American credit score company FICO, which was formally known as Fair, Isaac and Company, and which every American citizen is beholden to should they need to borrow money.
The massive banking crime being investigated by the US Senate is called the LIBOR Scandal where UK banks fixed the London Interbank Borrowing Rate with the complicity of the Bank of England, the US Federal Reserve (which knew about this crime for 4 years and didn’t report it) and many other major Western banks.
The idea that his father was going to testify before the US senate about LIBOR, and his mother said "yes you have the right person" on the phone, makes this whole "elite killer, gas mask, getaway car, drugged up Holmes as a patsy" theory more credible.

These are extremely bright people. The boy is a neuro-scientist on a full fellowship (sponsored by DARPA) in a PhD program. DARPA is a government entity that funds such university programs because it wants to know all it can about mind control. This whole story is not a simple straight line

The System...in place to keep the system growing.

Ok so in a previous rant I was bitching about the social services system that I am now a part of... you can read it here if ya haven't already...

Well now I am paying into the child/spousal support program. The way the program works until they start to dock my check I send them a check. Then when they get the check they send the payment to my wife. Now that process takes over a week. So my wife calls them and says "Can he just give me a check directly? "..."No that is not how the process works, yes he can give you a check, but that will not be credited as a support payment. We must process the check, then we release the money to you." ... "But we really need the money now and he is willing to give us a check or cash and if I give him a receipt that I got the money and it was for the support isn't that good enough". ... "NO! He must mail the payment to our office and we will process it and then credit the payment and release the finds to you." ... "Why can't he just pay me and save the time and hassle, plus we really need the money now." ..."Because we must process the payment first and then release the funds to you...that is how the system works." 


So I sent the check...and loaned her some money until she gets the money from me via the state agency that will cash the check and send her a payment.

THE SYSTEM IS FUCKED! The system is set up to keep the system set up. By paying her directly...that leaves 6 or 10 state employees out of the loop. And what if EVERYONE that has a civil relationship with their spouse wanted to do the same. MY GOD!!!! That would lead to the elimination of a few jobs and the system cannot have that. What is that line from Blazing Saddles... "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen!"... And that is what the bulk of the system...and really it is any governmental system is about. 


So instead of letting people use common sense, and working things out among themselves if they can. They mandate a bureaucratic cock block every step of the way. 


And this is just a social program that not everyone participates in. Imagine what the Ocare will be like when every person in the USA has to be involved. FUCKED...that will be the nice word for it...more like America will be OBAMAED.

The devil is in the details...and other things.

So I have been reading up on the pending Ocare. And well lets just say the devil is in the details.
First off if you have over 50 (not sure if that is total workers or total insured workers) you will have to pay a tax of $2000 on each person that is not insured. So I am guessing that if you are covered under your spouse's policy at another job you would have to show proof. A new level of record keeping for the HR department. And I am sure that would have to be checked every 6 months or so.

I wonder how many empoyers are gonna keep their payroll at 49? I wonder how many are gonna reclassify their people as private contractors? I wonder how many are gonna save $$$ buy just paying the TAX because it would be cheaper than paying the insurance?

Then the individual has to pay a tax of between $95 to $695. But I am sure that would be just a line item on the 1090EZ. The last thing the government wants is for the peons to send in a check and actually feel the pain of taxation. So you have two entities being taxed on the same event.

Now if that was not bad enough this idea of insurers must cover pre existing conditions will also be a major disaster. Lets say Mike is 27 in good health makes $35K a year as a landscape guy. He gets into a car accident...he has no insurance just been paying a $150 a year tax. Once he gets into the hospital he calls Blue Cross and says I wanna sign up! Guess what...they have to take him and pay for his coverage even though he has not paid into the system. Why? Because they cannot deny a pre existing condition.  The taxes collected do not go to the insurance companies...SO what insurance company is going to stay in business that way? They won't! There will not be any private health insurance for the masses...just high priced boutique companies and I would say even high end clinics and hospitals. 


Once everyone is on the fall back plan then they will have the majority by the balls. So someone with a massive ego and God complex will sit in judgment over who gets what. Of course they will have all the info they need on you...they will cross reference your name with the voter rolls. So they will know what party...and if you are not in the party that wants to advance such "noble" social causes...well your care may take a bit longer. 


Preventive care as they will call it, will take a whole new turn. All expectant mothers will be required to have amniocentesis, and birth defects will be treated like a cancer. After all...it will be much to expensive to care for a "defective human". Non approved behaviors will be taxed to the max...but not to the point that people quit, because they still want the tax revenue. Speed limits will be lowered to 50MPH all in the name of saving money on increased health care costs. However they will not change the helmet laws regarding motor cycles. After all not wearing a helmet in a crash results in a greater number of deaths...and deaths are cheaper. 


Perhaps one if the only benefits of Ocare will be the border will be locked down. Either by the feds, or by private groups fed up with paying for free heath care for people that do not pay anything into the system. 


However there is a silver lining. We have elected officials and that was exactly what the Chief Justice was saying in his opinion. It is up to the citizens to elect people that create the policy we want. So come November, we can change the people and they can change the law.

Charnigocare!

I first wrote this on September 9th 2009...guess what it was a good idea then...and it is now. 


Dad always preached to us Charnigo boys KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), and that is what can be done with heath reform. So here is my plan, I have no degree just 41 years of common sense.

1) End state regulation of Health Insurance; make a universal national standard all companies must follow. As it is now each of the 50 states have their own standards and if you live in PA you can only buy a policy that is from a company in PA. So costs vary from state to state. 

2) Create a “free” market for the sale of health insurance. End the practice of the employer buying the policy for us. Instead create a system like the 401K were the employer contributes to an account that we then use to help fund the policy we buy. 

3) Give credit for healthy activities. If you belong to a gym or a sports club you get a discount. All smoking succession programs and classes should be free, funded by the taxes ALREADY collected from cigarettes.

4) Create the National Health Service. The National Health Service will consist of a University just like the Naval Academy or West Point. For the promise of service we will train doctors and all ranges of medical specialist from LPNs to Radiologists, to Brian Surgeons. These will be used to staff National Clinics and Hospitals in the poorest areas of the country. But each congressional district will have at least one clinic. The idea is to provide a safety net not a primary care for everyone. Anyone can use the services but they may have to pay if they have insurance already. 

5) The employer’s contribution the Health Savings Account and the citizen’s payment to the health insurance will be made using pre tax dollars like now. However if you make under $75K 100% of your contribution will be 100% tax deductable. 

6) The funding for all these things will be done in part by closing the tax loop holes that allow companies to be incorporated off shore, and allow private citizens to funnel money into off shore tax havens. 

7) End all TV and print ads for both lawyers and medical services and drugs that are not over the counter. 

8) Tort reform- Enact a loser pays system, also limit the amount of punitive damages to $1 Million in a life time per person. Compensatory damages will be awarded by a board of made up of physicians and medical providers not by a room full of lawyers. 
Well that is 8 things and takes less than a page. Sure I may have missed some things but it is a start.

Social Services = Family Destruction=Growing Government

Well I am now sucked into the social services system in America. I have discovered the main objective of the social services is to perpetuate the existence of the social services system. Now I am not gonna go into all the personal details about MY situation. But if you ask and if I know you I will give them to you.

So here we have a system that wants to create more teat suckers than it wants to create productive tax paying citizens. Here we have a system that wants to keep families broken so they will have to be involved in the system longer and keep them relying on the manna from the tax payers.

It does this by keeping the parties involved in constant conflict, and hopes that this creates more conflict and tension and use of government programs and services.

This is a failed and harmful approach. The best and most successful unit is the family. These agencies should be working hard to keep families together not to tear them apart. BUT...they know a broken family needs more government services and thus...keeping the Leviathan of government going and growing.

Imagine if the social services really cared about creating and uniting families...the strength and unity that would sweep across America, the lives and communities that would be improved...the BILLIONS of tax payers money that would be saved and in turn dumped back into the economy!

But sadly that will not be the case. These folks do not have a mindset of uniting families, and finding a better way. No they only have one goal, to grow the bureaucratic bloat as much and as fast as possible, and they do that by keeping families in a state of conflict in perpetuity.

The social services should be about creating an opportunity for growth and unity in ones self and ones family. It should be the safety net and the helping hand,  It should not be the hammock and the handout. It should work to unite, not work to divide. Until that happens...it will be worthless.
