don't pick at it....

I have been being a good duck as of late, and letting all the health care debate farce roll off my back like so much water. Summer is coming to a lovely end here in Upstate New York, mornings are cool, days are sunny and not too hot. All that wonderful fresh produce.. just letting the joys in life wash over me. In with anger, out with love.....

Just two quick observations: 

• This morning on Morning Joe ( sans Mika, it sort of sucks.... ) Congressman Marsha Blackburn, proudly representing the Tennessee Seventh ( which is a wildly gerrymandered district) was  letting the DEATH PANEL malarkey fly. "Seniors will be mandated to go to meetings on how they are going to kill them". THIS IS NOT MY USUAL HYPERBOLE, she is saying this. "Seniors paid to live, and Barack Obama wants to kill them "  None other than Joe Scarborough and Satan's doppelganger Pat Buchanan told her that she was wrong. Pointed out in the bill exactly where she was wrong... and she just would not hear. We have come to a point , at last, in America where facts and truth just DO NOT MATTER. Opinion does. I have to know more than you to, because am a white Christian Republican. You know... again, with out much good ole Southern hyperbole : How does a Democracy thrive when we can not even agree on UP and DOWN and Black and White???
  
  
  
• Michele Bachmann. That should be all I have to type, and really, I don't think about the insane nut-jobs out in Topeka, and I don't think about the Queen-of-all-Loonies in Congress, Ms Bachmann - there is just no reason to give them any time in my brain. BUT today, she is even out doing herself. JESUS WANTS THE POOR TO GO WITHOUT HEALTH CARE. Now, Neil is the big Christan in our family.. today, I am a proud Druid.. or Taoist... or Zoroastrian..  It's Tuesday ?    Druid.. ( trees!! )  "

On Wednesday Rep. Michele Bachmann was part of a star-studded “teletownhall” meeting to discuss health-care reform. The event, billed “Keeping Faith with the Unborn,” was sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion advocacy group. The organization’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, claimed that there were some 350,000 listeners on the line.

Bachmann was joined by North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx, most famous for calling Matthew Shepard’s murder a “hoax,” and former Colorado Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, who made national headlines by refusing to concede after losing her re-election contest November. But even with such veteran political pugilists sharing the phone line, Bachmann managed to distinguish herself during the 90-minute phone call.

Ok, now seriously, you would have to look long and hard to find three smaller minds than these three Puritan bitches ( sexist? you bet your ass.. I would have used another word, but this is a family blog)  Congressman Bachmann called for everyone to pray and fast to keep any health care reform from going through. Please read this whole article. I can not post anymore.... must go back to my happy place...
