To all the clowns out there who really wish we'd forget

Just to ruin your Friday evening,

In a proposed rule from Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the federal government is demanding insurance companies submit detailed health care information about their patients.
...
The HHS has proposed the federal government pursue one of three paths to obtain this sensitive information: A “centralized approach” wherein insurers’ data go directly to Washington; an “intermediate state-level approach” in which insurers give the information to the 50 states; or a “distributed approach” in which health insurance companies crunch the numbers according to federal bureaucrat edict.

It’s par for the course with the federal government, but abstract terms are used to distract from the real objectives of this idea: no matter which “option” is chosen, government bureaucrats would have access to the health records of every American - including you.
One of the problems with this 'the Secretary shall make rules' crap is the Secretary can do damn near what she wants, and the bastards in Congress can dodge responsibility for it.


For more dirtbaggery from Empty Hat Salazar,
U.S. District Court judges aren't known for using inflammatory language in deciding the weighty issues that come before them on the federal bench. So it was remarkable to read the scorching indictment of a federal environmental agency and two of its scientists last week by Judge Oliver W. Wanger.
...
Wanger was angered by testimony from the two scientists, Frederick V. Feyrer and Jennifer M. Norris, that he said was "false," "contradictory" and "misleading." He accused the Interior Department of "bad faith" in providing the two scientists as experts, and claimed their testimony was "an attempt to mislead and to deceive the court into accepting not only what is not the best science, it's not science." An Interior Department spokesman defended Norris and Feyrer, telling the New York Times that "we stand behind the consistent and thorough findings by our scientists on these matters and their dedicated use of the best available science."
As I recall, isn't Salazar still in violation of that judge's order to start approving drilling permits, and to actually let them drill?


Have a GM car? Want to tell them to stuff their "We can sell your data, and we'll keep collecting even if you drop OnStar" crap? Just turn it off.


Among the reasons why Obama's 'day of service' bullshit for 9/11 pisses me off so damn bad

Every crash is someone dying. This is also among the reasons I despise so much of our media: they will get people killed with fake Koran-flushing stories, they'll stir up as much shit as possible with Abu Ghraib, but they won't show any of this because 'it's too upsetting'. Fuck every one of these sorry excuses for reporters, and damn everyone who helped carry out this attack.



What went wrong at the Reno air show. One little piece off the tail and you're screwed. Bloody 22 g's.

Never forget,

and never forgive


Oh, and Nanny Bloomberg, who doesn't have time or space for first responders or clergy? Fuck you; you are a canker on this nation. You suck on so many levels it's disgusting.

And to every 'news' agency that would scream ABU GHRAIB!!! endlessly, but refuses to show things like the shot above: if you knew just how bad it is for me to call you 'sorry excuses for reporters', you'd crap your pants.

By the way: to every PC moron and 'sensitive' soul

who couldn't stand the thought of just rebuilding the WTC; to every enviroweenie jerk involved in preventing rebuilding, every bureaucrat sticking their thumb in, to every jackass who didn't WANT anything actually done at the site:
Screw You.

No, I won't forget this (added)

And won't forgive those who did it, and all those who helped.

And I won't forget people like this.

It was a day off, and I had the radio on

when a local DJ said there was a report of a plane hitting one of the Trade Center towers. Damn, some clown flying where he shouldn't have been, I thought. Little bit later "A second plane has hit the other tower." Ok, that's no accident.

So on went the tv, and watching and listening. Didn't see any of the people jumping that I recall, saw that later(and God damn every miserable excuse for a reporter who decided they needed to replay Abu Graib shit over and over, but couldn't show any of that because 'it upset people'). One thing I do remember: some talking head, in the appropriate breathless voice, said something for the whatever-time about "Terror striking into the heartland", and I realized I was on my feet yelling "Terror striking? What about the PISSED OFF in the heartland, you moron!"

I didn't realize then just how many people would use this as an opportunity to piss on their own country. That there were people who actually wanted to believe Bush did it. That there were so many in Congress who'd sworn to uphold and protect who'd use it to try and tear down(found out just what that oath meant to them).

But the most of us remember('Day of Service' my ass). And we support striking at the people behind this, and we support the troops. I've got my gripes with Bush 43, but going after the bad guys in Afghanistan and Iraq and other places isn't one of them.

That's all for now, just not sure how to put things.
