Obamacare...a personal look.

Oct 25, 2009 - I am going to give you my personal look at Obamacare from a perspective which may seem a bit strange but in reality it should be alarming.  The interesting thing is that most of all of my childhood I went without even some of the basic things people assume most everyone has.   The only healthcare I had as a child was Medi-cal...which is the program upon which Obamacare was designed.     My father worked several part-time jobs as well as his full-time job as a Baptist minister.  He did everything possible to provide for us, worked his fingers to the bone and still managed to comfort the people in our church and help them deal with their own problems.  Not once did any congregation we served bother to possibly consider that making sure the minister and his family had any healthcare or even some of the basic necessities in life was one of their priorities. They did however call at any time of the day or night for his help and he was there for them.    Sometimes our whole family was there for them.  I was a very experienced babysitter, cook, and housekeeper before I was even 11.  This is not bitterness I speak from---it is my attempt at revealing to you that many who are among the uninsured are hardworking people often working in service-oriented positions which simply aren't offered healthcare.   So....let me get back to Medi-cal......the mentor of Obamacare.  When I hear people on the Obamacare bandwagon I think they probably don't really understand what they are supporting.   Many have never been on medi-cal. - 4 Comments

tickling pinching and farting - give me a break!

Oct 16, 2009 - My boyfriend has never been a real cheesy or affectionate person. I guess I've never minded it though because hes just sort of that bad guy that we all end up falling for at some point. He isnt a bad guy at all though he just acts like it. - 3 Comments

DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons

May 08, 2009 - DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons by Charles Winecoff Recently, at the office (a place I sometimes affectionately refer to as Obama Central), I made the mistake of printing out a Washington Post editorial that questioned the foreign policy expertise of our new Commander-in-Chief. By the time I got to the printer to pick it up, someone else had already seen it - and stamped “DENIED” across the top of the page in red ink. Next to that was scrawled, “RIGHT WINGER GO HOME.” The first thing that went through my mind was: cross burnings. - 8 Comments

FUN AND HUMOR: CRAZY FACTS...YOU'LL LAUGH AT THIS ONE

Nov 16, 2008 - IN AN EMAIL I RECEIVED....IT'S FUN TO SHARE!... :D If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. - 3 Comments

Funny Facts

Oct 30, 2008 - If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it.) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Look, a conservative figured out how to solve the energy crisis!) The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet. - 15 Comments
