Keith Olbermann is a moron
I used to tune into Sports Center when Olbermann was on top of his game. How far will this man stoop?

The hypocrisy of government?
Nothing that you don’t already know, but the people that actually trusts these folks up in Washington is really disturbing? Why do some people in this nation think that they are going to help us out of the current financial situation we are in when the double the deficit?! Yeah, I am biased and lean a bit towards the conservative side but this article found on Fox News shows why I absolutely do not trust the Democratic side of politics. I know, I know…they’re all screwed up in D.C. but the quote at the end of the article, really chaps my hide. Yes, President Bush made his mistakes, but the quickness that (democratic) media tries to point blame at the president, when they should be looking at the ragtags in office.
“It should be remembered that fiscal year 2009 began during the Bush administration, which left in its wake the worst recession since the 1930s, including a sharp plunge in revenues,” said Rep. John Spratt Jr., D-S.C., chairman of the House Budget Committee. “But today’s figures send us the latest alarm. As the economy stabilizes and starts to recover, we will have to turn our focus back to deficit reduction.”
Sir, your party has been in control of the House since the Bush administration, why don’t you pull your head out of your arse and take some responsibility for running up the bills?
Is big government tracking blogs through webhosts?
I suddenly feel exposed much like the gowns that we use on our patients that cause their back ends to be flapping about the unit as the meander down the hallway. There was some recent buzz among the political arena that the new administration wanted to begin tracking nefarious websites that were contra to anything the new administration has had to offer. I certainly have my issues with Barry. I think I have more issues with the government and their intrusion into our private lives.
It has long been a premise of blogs and internet postings that you could with some relative ease, maintain your anonymity with your online pseudo-personality or identity. I have also long known that the extremely long reach of government could find on me anything they wanted because they have been an intrusion into the lives of well meaning law abiding citizens for some time now. The subversive guise through the idea that it is a tax issue is a wee bit bothersome. Big Brother is and has been in the house.
I would have to say that yes, my political standings are no where near in-line with the current administration or any of the goofballs in D.C. that have been in office for say…oh the past 20 years. I am no conspiracy theorist by any means and I know the internet has greatly expanded the fear mongering of those that think our government is out to get us. I am beginning to believe them. And why would they have any interest in someone like me? Someone that has next to nil readers of his little opinionated, non-revenue generating blog? But how creepy is it to receive the following email from your internet or web host provider indicating the following:

The hypocrisy of media? Or the hypocrisy of society?
Now I can hardly take credit for the following but I will certainly post it on the internet. I received this from a friend who is really going to take a hit with the possibility of Obamacare. Now I doubt whether he wrote it as well since I think it’s from an email making it’s way through cyberspace, but you certainly do not hear from the media about any of the dunder headed moves our new president has made. And look at that, 2 posts in as many days as when I haven’t written anything in 2 months! I guess plagiarism doesn’t really count as original.
Obama supporters, be honest now. Read the following and tell me how you would have reacted:
· If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
· If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
· If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
· If George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?
· If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he’s a hypocrite?
· If George W. Bush’s administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
· If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
· If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
· If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within years, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan’s holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
· If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
So, tell me again; what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all the above in just 5 months — so be patient you’ve still got three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
Yeah, our health care system is broke
Yeah, our health care system is broke.
And there are numerous parts that need fixing. But the one that chaps my hide the most is when doctors know you are in the health care field, I am forced to call my primary knowing I need a specialty consult. AND I HAVE TO GO IN, PAY MY DOCTOR FOR SOMETHING I ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME. “Oh, you need to go see a specialist.” No S#!+!!! Now I am all for a capitalistic system but when this kind of nonsense is present, when does it stop?! What causes a doctor to forgo common sense from someone in the medical field? What drives a doctor to accept a minimal, measly copay? Is it a cut of ‘their fair share’? Have they been burned by the current mentality of society and system for which they now have to care? Part of my chaffing is also knowing that the specialist to whom she is going to send me… is her husband’s clinic and then I get to pay him double my copay, just because he’s a specialist?! Am I scratching the surface of an ethical issue here? These folks are well respected and are really good docs. I guess the blame comes down to accountability and knowing those, much like our guests that come to the ER for a chronic toothache, that abuse they system are the reason for this nonsense. Thoughts?
Why our Health Care is so expensive?
Well, I’ve just been kind of soaking in being a nurse but more importantly I have been trying to spend time with my beautiful wife in what little time I do have off. I have had the troublesome problem of insomnia creep up on me and when your work nights, that absolutely sucks. I’ll write some post later about that. The other problem I currently have is that my pc has decided to try and take the eternal dirt nap for computers. Good ridance Microsoft. I think I may be able to convince the Mrs. that it’s time to switch back to an Apple. I just hope I can make the conversion and save my (blog) files in the transfer. I am in no hurry.
Anyway, I came across this little gem and I have every intention of sending to the folks at M.D.O.D. just to get their spin on it. I sure do enjoy their educational material. So check out the following and see what has been bankrupting our health care, let alone our ER’s.
¡Bastante ya!
Thanks Mr. President and the politicians in government.
This could be said to Bush since he dropped his fiscal conservative approach at the end of his presidency and wanted to push a ‘stimulus’ package. The current moron is going to be no better with him wanting an additional bazillion dollars. The frustrating part is now he has morons in D.C. willing to agree with him. Wait. Did we see any change in the recent elections? We may have seen faces and names change but the concept of fiscal conservancy has long left the Republic in the hands of a bunch of spend-thrift goombahs.
Lets examine what the bible says about debt and lets see what our government has done to us with the passing of the past 2 ‘stimulus’ packages. Maybe politics and religion should mix. Maybe the crocks in office should refer to some old-time religion (but wait we can’t allow that) for some common sense regarding the financial strains and problems they are tying to our future generations.
Proverbs 6:1-5
1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
2if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
4Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
Proverbs 20:16
16Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
Proverbs 22:7
7The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:26-27
26Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;
27if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.
Proverbs 24:3-4
3By wisdom a house is built,
and through understanding it is established;
4through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.

The end of our Republic as we know it?
For the first time in the 6 presidential elections I have been a part of, this one ’scares’ me the most. You stupid morons who think those of us with conservative leanings were afraid because he is a black man?! Get a grip of yourselves! It’s his policies stupid! The fear I speak of is the utter blindness of the those wanting to elect this socialist pig for a president. There is evidence in the words that have come from the man’s mouth and yet the stupidity of the masses is prevalent channel surfing and seeing his supporters on the tele.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
3While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
The interesting thing about politics is that the same principles applied to Christians can be applied to those who have fallen for this morass that spills from this puppet’s piehole:
3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
My encouragement comes from the confidence in this present situation is that regardless of what happens in the world, it is all part of God’s good plan.
Proverbs 16:4
4The LORD works out everything for his own ends- even the wicked for a day of disaster.
