All The News . . .

We had to take Cooper to the less than 10 year old, state of the art children's hospital today. This new hospital was the pet philanthropy project of a young capitalist billionaire's wife. And no, I am not plagiarizing Ayn Rand or exaggerating in the smallest fraction in order to write that line. That is really just how capitalism works to benefit us all.

Cooper was running a high fever that the doctor could not diagnose earlier that day. He was as limp as a dish rag so with the doctor's recommendation we went to the E.R.

You end up having a lot of time to think about things while waiting at a hospital for tests and treatment. Hmmm, if the government is in control of health care in the same fashion that the same government uses the EPA and other regulations and agencies to prevent American companies from drilling in new oil fields or building new refineries or nuclear power plants while campaigning about an energy crisis then I wonder how many new hospitals will be built after the "reform" bill?

We had another great experience. Cooper was showing noticeable signs of improvement before we left.

As we left we exited the controlled access area of the ER and reentered the reception area. It was approaching seven o'clock on a Friday night and the scene in the lobby was approaching a Michael Cimino film. Even though we too were characters of that scene we walked through the refugee menageria tight lipped. We were the only other Caucasians along with the security guard. (But before you jerk yourself into spasms about how I am profiling or being a racist, this is merely a statement of fact and not an anecdotal one either - read Ann's piece on LIBERAL LIES ABOUT NATIONAL HEALTH CARE: BONUS JOE WILSON EDITION! for more of the statistical data supporting my observations). And even though I wouldn't say all comers were without insurance, I'd bet short odds and the screaming toddler standing on the reception desk that we weren't in the majority for having insurance. Like a Cimino film we were just looking to get through intermission and on into the final reel for a somber Thanksgiving scene where we will all sing "God Bless America."

Another minor wait to think about the day before I pay. I am already subsidizing the uninsured in this E.R. because as I paid my co-pay and my insurance company gets billed to pay the rest of my bill, the two of us (me and my insurance company) will also pay the padding in that bill that pays for all the care that was going to be provided to the uninsured in that reception area tonight. We passed more people in the parking lot going in and even though I am no doctor, none of them looked as sick as Cooper who was triaged as the lowest priority of the three levels used by the admitting nurse at that E.R. No one in this great country is not receiving care. Let me reiterate, THERE WERE NO DEAD BODIES IN THE STREETS. Everyone receives care at the E.R. Not everyone pays.

I've heard how a Health Care bill needs tort reform to be really effective. I don't disagree. I think immigration and border enforcement should be the first stage in fixing the "rising cost" of health care that Obama reasons is our call to action in so many of his major speeches. I wouldn't mind talking about a plan to cover the uninsurable once we eliminate or at least greatly reduce the untaxable inhabitants from that equation.

On the way back from the hospital I stopped to grab something to eat. I hadn't eaten since breakfast. The ubiquitous LCD TV that is now in every Austin restaurant was tuned to CNN.

I don't normally watch these other channels but occasionally I will force myself to watch one of these other "news" sources for some real entertainment a la a totally inverted perspective. I haven't quite built up the necessary immunities to the out of whack liberalism of msnbc. I try. It's a little like the stench of Cooper's diarrhea diapers in that private emergency room. I prepare myself, change the channel and then the odiousness goes beyond the ridiculous into the mind-bendingly offensive before I even stop holding my first breath. Watching Olbermann and/or Matthews is a little like watching a pair of finger puppets exploring a cardboard cutout version of a diseased colon while making @ss jokes, in other words juvenile and disturbing as well as a huge waste of my time.

CNN is pretty far down the Obama bias continuum of the total news spectrum. Not quite MessNBC but on deck to be the far left point on that diagram should they ever close down the failed cable arm of the GE/NBC propaganda machine. In this case there was enough background noise that if it became necessary I could just ignore it. But something caught my eye and I watched. That something was the Fox News logo. I guess this was one of their non-news, opinion segments run on every news network and not just Fox. I think it's called "The Big Question" and it was being hosted by Campbell "Rhinoplasty" Brown and her little team of Breakfast Club cub reporters. They were all talking faster and louder and more emphatically about the mischaracterization by Fox that CNN didn't cover the 9/12 Rally in D.C.

Yes, we did. Of course we did. Here's the footage to prove it!
They were a little too insistent about the fact that they covered it and even went as far as showing clips and congratulating each other for their journalistic prowess while covering a planned event. How'd they ever stumble across half a million people assembling in the mall of our nation's capitol I will never know. Clearly they have skills that border on superhuman and are ready to take the world by storm. At one point the Judd "Bender" Nelson amongst them got the rest to follow him into the hallway in spite of a clear threat of getting caught by the principal, aptly played by Rupert Murdoch - I think they were right on the verge of dubbing in audio of Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)" but I had finished my sub and it was time to go.

I was laughing on my way into the parking lot because I think Fox reached more non-Fox viewers tonight and got more repeat advertising by virtue of CNN spending a whole segment talking about this full page advertisement in three papers that are likely seen by far fewer eyes.

Ha, ha, suckers. You got played.

And if you replace the word "How" to mean "In What Ways" as if to ask "In What Ways Did" they "Miss This Story" they really got played. Because there are several ways they didn't get "it" starting with characterizing potential viewers as radicals and / or Astroturf but also all the time spent talking about this ad by Fox News.

My "Big Question" (other than a formal inquiry into the certifications of Campbell's cosmetic surgeon) was "Why were they being so determined in their efforts to debunk Fox's obvious false claim that their competitors didn't cover a big story; going so far as attempting to be fair and objective or at least thorough and complete, about their network's coverage of this story, even hazarding a few fair if not fully complimentary comments about those attending the rally?

Hmmm, why indeed? Could it be they weren't really talking about the thing they were talking about? Could it really be that they were trying to convince us of some larger myth like, I don't know a) we're not in the tank for Obama and we haven't really become a 24 hour infomercial for his policies, or b) we are covering all the important news and not just the stories that favor Obama and the Liberal Dems in congress?

-What are you saying?

- I am saying that they were creating a smokescreen to cover up the fact that they didn't do a single story on Van Jones until after he resigned his Czar-ship. I am saying they were a good 4 to 8 days later on their coverage of the ACORN exposé from the time that story actually broke. And this is not because these weren't major, national newsworthy stories. It's because their decimated news staffs were spending days trying to figure out how to spin stories so damaging to their supreme monarch and not having a single lead on how to spin unspinnable facts.

CNN's new logo needs to be
. . . All The News . . . Just 8 days late.

I wonder if James Earl Jones will do the voice-over.

More Names for the List

Only 7 Senators voted against Defunding ACORN after they were exposed by our intrepid amateur journalists, O'Keefe and Giles doing the good work that 60 Minutes stopped doing two decades ago.

Seven Senators are so oblivious to the egregiousness of what the videos have revealed that they are in essence saying that they want to see our tax dollars hard at work . . .to cheat the system that collects our tax dollars.

Seven Senators who needed to do no more than say the word "Aye" to prevent our tax dollars from aiding child prostitution were unwilling to do so.

There is no defense here. These are our tax dollars and ACORN does not have a right to them which is why Defunding this criminal enterprise disguised as a non-profit philanthropic organization took less than a full page of legislation and happened in one quick vote (barring a Veto from their biggest supporter and beneficiary - Barrack Obama).

These hopeless liberals are:

1. Pat Leahy - VT
2. Bernard Sanders - VT
I am not seeing the Vermont connection. It must be some association with big trees, ACORN? Mighty oak? Maple syrup? . . . I don't get it. Can someone from Vermont help me with why you elected these baffoons? Can someone help me understand why they are defending funding for a criminal enterprise that doesn't even operate in their own state of Vermont? Are they truly just defending supporters of illegal alien child prostitution? Is that what's important to them?

No big suprise out of that the state who's political machine wrote the Field Manual on corruption.
3. Dick Durbin - IL
4. Roland "I Know Who Butters My Bread And It Ain't Blago, Which Way Am I Voting On Your Behalf Today Rahm?" Burris - IL


5. Sheldon Whitehouse - RI
6. Kirsten Gillibrand - NY who saw the costumes our intrepid reporters were wearing and thought this was a new Broadway musical instead of an undercover sting.
7. Bob Casey - Pennsylvania, or as I now refer to it, Douchelvania.

If you are people who live in these states expect public shaming. Your elected officials are beyond shame with this latest vote. If you have any pride you will actively campaign against them and vote against them in their respective reelection campaigns.

. . . Pants On Fire

My biggest disappointment with Congressman Joe Wilson is that he was so quick to apologize for his outburst. Admittedly he was going to have to do it or risk censure by the most hypocritical bunch of Democrats in history but I just wish he hadn't been so quick to do it. He should have apologized like a Clinton or a Van Jones or so many other expert not-pologist liberals, with an apology that's not really an apology.

Then again, I've seen him in interviews after the fact and from what I saw I don't believe this was some calculated or orchestrated stunt. I believe he let his emotions get the better of him and in that moment he became a voice of so many of us who feel like we are being told lies to pass this bill; a piece of legislation that has so many ulterior motives and liberal agendas tied to it from the very outset that we all should be calling its proponents to account over every word they utter in support of it.

I didn't watch the speech because I can't watch this Chicago charlatan lie anymore. Frankly the look on Nancy Pelosi's face alone would have made it worth watching but who knew? It truly was spontaneous and unexpected which is what made Joe Wilson's outburst so worthwhile. Thank goodness for You Tube.

As for those who want to make a case against Congressman Wilson's disrespect, I do recall that there was a lot of tongue clicking, groaning and even booing from from the Leftists 2, 3 and 7 years ago.

And let's not forget that one Congressman nearly beat a Senator to death in the Capitol building as tensions mounted preceding the Civil War.

We absolutely shouldn't be practicing some sort of phony decorum that is reserved for royalty who are the elite ruling class in other countries, our leaders are supposed to be common citizens with no special rights . . . We absolutely should be outspoken at every possible opportunity as our 1st Amendment affords us . . . and we should see this moment as an important indicator of mounting tensions, a revolt, peaceful or otherwise may soon follow if certain courses of action continue unaltered . . . Democracy after all, is a messy business.

And for the older kids, 6th Grade and Up, here are ways they can integrate the President's speech into educational activities:

• Write an essay comparing what you witnessed today with what you know about Mao Zedong, Che Guevera, Pol Pot, Reverend Jim Jones or any other tyrannical despots or cult leaders from this years history reading list
• Role Play Scenario: Choose who gets to be School Superintendent who's district is experiencing a budget short-fall, newly appointed Department of Education Secretary, Chief of Staff - Rahm Emanuel who's watching his boss's approval numbers drop like an anvil, parent working two jobs to make ends meet, student whose parent is working two jobs, parent who did not vote for Obama and coincidentally doesn't believe in Global Warming, student of said parent, teacher still in her probationary phase of employment in a district that may have to cut more positions. Print up money (hand write I.O.U. to China - optional) and give it all to the Dept. of Education Secretary and Rahm Emanuel. Have the Dept. of Ed Secretary make using a controversial "education" program "optional". Have the rest of the students observe and then comment on how each of the people interact.
• High School Juniors and Seniors: Write a cover letter and résumé for jobs that won't be created or saved, "Green" or otherwise by the time you graduate. Hand them to your teacher when complete. Teachers, demonstrate to your students what prospective employers will be doing by throwing the résumés in your trash can.

Lessons from the Camelot Compound

If we can learn anything from Senator Kennedy and the Kennedy family at large it is that we need term limits for Senators, for Congressman and perhaps even Justices from the Supreme Court on down. Senator Ted Kennedy enjoyed his life in politics, and he should not have been allowed to do so because he should not have been allowed to make politics a matter of his whole life. Serving in political office, particularly national office should not be a career because first, last and otherwise these individuals are performing a public service. A life in politics means running the risk of losing your private persona and as free men and women we can only be governed by other free and otherwise private citizens who relinquish their private lives on a temporary basis. A government for the people, our government is by the people and of the people and not by a professional ruling class different from the rest of us and therefore detached from us.

I honestly don't believe our Founders envisioned this type of service becoming a lifelong calling. To the contrary. Most returned to private life after terms of service and before their deaths. George Washington declined the offer to be made President for Life because that would have been too much like becoming a King and this is exactly what they sacrificed blood and treasure to defeat in our Revolutionary War. They were private citizens first and performed their various public duties out of necessity, out of a sense of duty. Their country needed them so they served but with the other prerequisite that they were common citizens and not some quasi-royalty.

Perhaps our Founders' one miscalculation was that their progeny, these future generations of Americans would read and fully comprehend the core values, the true meanings, the haecceity of this most essential document: The Constitution - the one that grants average citizens temporary authority over their fellow citizens. The Founders perhaps expected future leaders to understand that the uniqueness of America's system of government was the temporary and fleeting nature of the power bestowed upon it's rulers.

Unfortunately, in our time the professional political class, which is a distinct subset of all our politicians, have elevated themselves above common citizenship. We bear witness to this in their arrogant responses during the Health Care Rationing debate in the town hall meeting. This is why they find angry citizens to be an affront to their position, their title and their authority; albeit a temporary authority per the Constitution. This professional political class has subverted aspects of our democratic system to allow themselves, first and foremost to maintain power. Their sense of public service is clearly becoming secondary to their other goal of staying in office.

The Kennedy family has formed a dynasty in American politics and is probably the best example, a symbol of what is wrong with our government and how these more recent generations of leaders have misinterpreted the self-government instruction manual, a.k.a. The Constitution, assuming they've even read it.

The tragic story of Camelot is that the Kingdom ultimately fell and the Round Table was disbanded when the King perished. There is no epilogue in any version of this tale that I've read which speaks of Arthur or Guinevere's legacy beyond mere memory of their kingdom and their finite dominion over it. The other key element of the story is that it is largely myth.

I want our real, non-mythical country to outlast all of its current politicians, to outlast me and all of its current citizens in the same fashion it has outlasted all of our antecedents and that's why granting power to any one of us over the rest even for the span of a mortal life is too long.
