Last night’s debate was interesting. If you’ve ever heard a seasoned (but deceptive) salesman deliver a pitch, you have to be impressed with Romney’s performance. Even President Obama was impressed, maybe stunned, by Romney’s change in positions or outright lies.

But there are problems lurking ahead for Romney.

Health Care Providers- YOU Are Part of the Problem! (Why a $700 machine costs $2,500)

I know, I know, the insurance companies suck! But they are not the whole problem. You are a big part of the problem too! Let me explain.

I use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea at night. After nearly a decade, the machine malfunctioned. Not bad, considering it is used daily for 7 or 8 hours. Just buy a new one, right? Well, not so fast. You need a prescription to get a new machine. Can’t get a prescription without seeing the doctor again.

So I'm trying to get in some kind of shape other than oval. I drag myself to Planet Fitness (and I can barely afford the $10 a month memberships!). Plop my fat ass on the exercise bike, hook in my earphones and start watching MSNBC (OK, I know it sucks, but there really wasn't any other acceptable choices). I'm into minute 15 of my warm up before hiiting machines, when an elderly man (at least 15 years older than me!), sits down on the bike next to mine. He starts trying to adjust his TV, and ends up switching the channel on my TV. Well, I'm not a total asswipe (at least not yet). He switches it to Fox News. Don't get mad, just adjust my TV back to MSNBC. Well this happens a couple more times while he's fiddling around. I finally tell him (in a nice voice) to point the remote at his TV up close, since it was effecting my TV. He says he's sorry, I say no problem. Then he says, "You learn something new everyday" (referring to the remotes bleeding over). And then I reply, "Not if you keep watching that!" (while pointing to Fox News on his TV!)

A good start to my Monday!

Due to the recent acts of violence by teabagging Republicans, changes to polling times statewide have been announced by the Supervisors of Elections. The following are the new polling times:

New Polling Times - Statewide

Democrats and Independents (with a brain) Tues. Nov. 2nd, 7 am - 7 pm

Republicans and Knuckledraggers Wed. Nov. 3rd, 7 am - 7 pm

Conservative Christians welcomed the change since so many polling places are at churches. Their members will be able to vote and go to Wednesday evening services all at one time.

It's OK to be angry. In fact, you should be angry at some things. You should be angry about the deaths of innocent children and civilians in unnecessary wars. You should be angry when the sick are not cared for. You should be angry when Wall Street Banksters steal the life savings of retirees. When you see abused children, don't you get angry? How about defenseless animals being abused by sadists?

Glenn Beck recently said...

...It also took a long time to start slavery. And it started small. And it started with seemingly innocent ideas. And then a little court order here and a court order there. And a little more regulation here and a little more regulation there. And before we knew it, America had slavery. It didn’t come over in a ship to begin with as an evil slave trade.

I believe him! I saw the commercials with Kathy Lee Gifford singing, "If my friends could see me now!" And it did start innocently enough. I’ll give you the whole story.

We are experiencing the worst economic times since the Great Depression. People are unemployed for longer time periods than ever before. People are losing their homes. They are losing health care coverage. They are exhausting their life savings. They are accessing their retirement savings just to survive these times.

And our government's response?

I’m tired of programs that some Washington politicians proclaim created x number of jobs, when they know the numbers were probably smaller. I’m tired of "trickle-down" jobs bills from Washington. So I came up with a different proposal: a jobs bill that actually creates jobs!

This will be a short rant.

Watching a recording of tonight's CBS Evening News, the big story was WikiLeaks and Afghanistan. How it's going to be harder to fight the war, recruit Afghan cooperation, etc., etc. Fair enough.

Then on comes Mr. Serious, Jeff Greenfield, to tell all us dumbshits what it really means. The money quote:

The Press used to see itself as a gatekeeper, deciding what information was reliable enough to make public. Well now, there are no gates.

Fight!

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been so ho-hum about your presidency so far. After watching the "special comment" by Keith Olbermann from last night’s Countdown show, I think I’ve hit on it.

I want you to fight for me. I don’t want you to push for a compromise with corrupt DINO senators to get a piece of legislation passed that doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do.

I've been silent for a month mainly because I find it hard to come up with words to describe the utter nonsense that the Republican Tea Bagging community keeps spreading around. I keep thinking maybe it's a bad side-effect of Viagra that has all these Republicans in love with the Former Half-Term Governor of Alasaka (FHTG) Sarah Palin. I keep hearing the Tea Baggers say they want their country back. They say they want to be free like they were 50 or 60 years ago. I keep wondering what the hell they want. Maybe this is their idea of freedom.
