"Let them eat peas."

The Internet is ablaze with President Obama's latest gaffe, claiming American's need to "take off the bandaid and eat peas."

"Who does he think he is?" Joe Bucket, a fish and tackle shop owner in Karns, TN asked, "He's trying to ram healthcare down my throat? I thought his wife was telling us how to eat and now he wants me to eat my peas?"

I am so angry with Verizon right now that I want to absolutely scream. I would say cry, but I already did that. I spent almost four hours on the phone with them and have nothing to show but the micro-strokes I had while talking to them.

Given that I am totally paralyzed in terms of what I can actually do to correct the situation, I will do the second best thing—I will blog about this in the hopes that everyone around the world will learn from my hellish Verizon experience and RUN AWAY!

I, however, cannot. I have drunk the Kool-Aid. I am an eternal indentured servant to the corporation that owns my soul but not my spirit.

There. I've said it. I'm sure that I'm going to get blasted for this one. (unfriend)

Okay, hold on...let me put on my hard hat and prepare to receive my beating from all of my conservative friends. Call me a commie or liberal or whatever else you want to throw at me. Tell me the "facts" from Faux News, Rush and Glenn, and anyone else who supports the notion that providing health insurance is one of the signs of the coming apocalypse and that Obama was written about in the book of Revelations. So instead of looking at this from a political point of view, let's look at universal health insurance from a Christian point of view. Oh, now I've done it--mixing politics and religion.

But I don't want this to be a political issue. I want us to stop and consider how Jesus would have handled universal health insurance.

The proverbial "What Would Jesus Do" conundrum.

Verizon makes me want to poke my eyes out with a fork

Lack of Universal Health Insurance is a Sin
