Health Care Law-Let's Talk About it


Well, the three days of Supreme Court arguments are over, and I wish I felt optimistic about the outcome, but frankly, I'm nervous. The deck has been stacked against we the people from jump and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see this court throw out the Affordable Health Care Law entirely.

Take for example, the individual mandate clause, which has been the main point of contention. The GOP and its teabagger mini-mes refused to even consider it when the measure, now law, was being argued on Capital Hill.

That was particularly strange since it was conceived by the GOP think tank, The Heritage Foundation and promoted by every GOP legislator, including three of the four currently running for president, prior to 2008. One of them named Mitt actually wrote it into his health care law when he was governor of Massachusetts.

You would think that when Barack Obama embraced this singularly conservative republican idea, that the GOP would have happily supported him in the bi-partisan manner of governance.

Did they? Hell no! They've been fighting it ever since President Obama said it was a good idea for the people. Makes ya think, it is not about the law, it's about the Black man in the White House.

And now, it is at the Supreme Court. A Supreme Court where one justice and his wife are actually on the payroll of that same Heritage Foundation, which has argued vigorously in favor of throwing out the individual mandate because it now says its “baby” is unconstitutional.

Question....if the individual mandate is unconstitutional today...why was it not unconstitutional when it was a republican idea?

It's a sure bet that Justice Clarence will do his dirty work behind the scenes because as has become typical, Thomas has not opened his mouth in open court these past few days. If the Justices do strike down the law, Thomas will have earned his tainted lucre.

I'm sure wifey-poo Ginny will be so proud of her man.

So what happens if the Affordable Health Care Law is struck down? Do the Repubs have a plan?

Well, no they don't. Not one of them who has taken to the airwaves to call for the law to be struck down have a plan. They just want it gone.

If it does go...

So does allowing parents to cover their kids on their insurance until aged 26.

So does coverage for children and people with pre existing conditions...insurance will once again be allowed to deny coverage.

So does the Medicaid expansion that was to be used to give health coverage to the 45-million people who don't have it.

So does the mandate requiring insurance companies to use most of the money collected from premiums to go to medical costs for consumers.

So does free contraception, birth control and other preventive services for women.

So do the mandates requiring restaurants and food companies to tell us what it is they put in our food.

Striking down Affordable Health Care means that men can still buy viagra or ciallis....

It means that Congressmen will still have their health care without penalty.

It means that the insurance companies and the drug companies, for that matter will not be reined in on cost, which will go up and up unregulated.

SUPCO has promised to issue its ruling in late June.

I'm not holding my breath.

I Wish a Nigga Would Ask Me for a Note About My Birth Control Pills


FIRED....For using birth control pills to prevent pregnancy or to simply plan the size of your family...

But okay to use the pills to cure acne or to regulate your periods...

Don't laugh...this is a real bill that has been proposed in Arizona...by a woman, no less. I don't like to call women names, because this is how this crap got started in the first place (think Rush Limpballs).

But this brainless, brainwashed bitch is serious. And of course the no brained neanderthals of her legislature are jumping on the bandwagon and following her over the cliff like a bunch of blind lemmings. They have voted it through the justice committee. Justice committee. Can you believe it...justice for who...not women, certainly. What the hell is going on in Arizona? Have we switched into Bizarro world and nobody knows except Arizona? First they pick on Latinos and brown skinned folks...now they are declaring war on women.

This proposed law wants to give employers the right to deny contraception to women for moral, or non medicinal reasons. It is the boss' sole discretion to grant insurance coverage for birth control as long as it doesn't make him or her feel bad, religiously unrighteous and or morally unclean.

And if the coverage is granted and the boss finds out that women are using the contraception to family plan or just have sex, she can be branded a liar and fired. 

So you know what's next, right...corporations are going to be allowed to not hire women during their optimum breeding years, so there is reduced worry about accidental pregnancies. Good way to lower insurance premiums and also free up the little women to do what god intended them to do....make babies and keep house.

After all women need to be controlled, right fellas....we're sluts if we use birth control pills....We're careless and irresponsible if we get pregnant....and murderers if we terminate the pregnancy....all that by our pretty little selves...no male involvement what so ever...right guys?

I wish an HR nigga would ask me for a note about my health practices!

And while Arizona is showing its ass, Congressional Teabaggers are attempting to do away with the Violence Against Women Act. The VAWA, like the Voting Rights Act of 1964-65 are not permanent acts and must be renewed, ensuring that the white men who govern this country still have control over minorities.

The teabaggers and GOP are balking because the Violence Act was updated to include gay couples, since same sex marriage is allowable in some states. The GOP is fighting it tooth and nail because the GOP does not support LGBT people, brown people, Latino people for female people. The Violence Act is up for another vote this afternoon on Capital Hill.

If you care, call your congressman or send him an email. These fools need to hear from us.

As for the State of Arizona....how about a practice run for those new bunker buster bombs being built for the Israelis to drop on Iran. Don't want to give our allies any dud weapons, do we? Arizona would be a good place to test out their effectiveness.

Penis Tax, an Idea Whose Time as Come

 Originally published 3/28/2010


The need for dick insurance in America...

The United States is in the midst of celebrating a massive achievement for the people. Health care is finally the law of the land after nearly a century of refusing to address the problem. For women however, the war on our bodies and our control of self, continues unabated. This bill, while a big improvement, is not true health care reform for women.

Men have always been able to use their health insurance to pay for Viagra. Erectile dysfunction is considered a serious ailment for men. Women, however, have to buy birth control out of their own pocket with no help from the insurance companies because birth control is not considered medicinal. Pregnancy and women's health issues are still not covered.

Okay, pregnancy is no longer a pre-existing condition. Birth control pills are used for other health situations besides preventing birth.  But the right to choose is still controversial and under attack by those who claim to be pro life.

They are not.

Pregnancy remains the number one killer of women in America and the world.

Rape is still the weapon of choice used to control or to harm women.

Denying education, and birth control is still standard practice in America and the rest of the universe. In this case there is no difference between the practices of organized American religions and those of the Taliban, and other Eastern extremists religions.

What is going on in Africa, for instance, where women are being brutally raped day after day is being covertly approved of and egged on by American evangelicals who have found fertile ground for their virulent brand of Christianity that seeks to contain and destroy not only women but gays and lesbians seeking equality. The term in Africa is “corrective rape,” used to “change” lesbians into straight women. Impregnating women is a god given right and a sport second only to soccer in magnitude.

Corrective rape is gang rape plied for hours and hours at a time regardless of a woman's orientation.

Despite the so called religious stance, there is not one clause, psalm or phrase or teaching in the Bible that speaks to abortion or the right to choose...not one...

This argument has been going on for centuries and looks like it is going to continue for a while. So I have a solution.

It's time to rein in the royal member...Let's tax the penis. The days of free range dickery must come to an end.

If a man wants to have sex, to create a baby or to just have fun..He should have to face consequences, just like women.

Henry or Lucifer or Big Bob...whatever he names it, should be gift wrapped in latex as a sign of active responsibility. If he wants sex, then a condom is mandatory. Big Bob needs wrap it up or pay a fine for any inadvertent emissions that result in life.

Because if life does in fact begin at conception, then men need to really, really recognize exactly what that means. No more paying lip service to pseudo religious, non scientific fantasy.

If one egg can get a woman in trouble...then so too should one little active swimmer sperm for men.

Men should have to carry a Penis bond card, or proof of dick insurance in their wallet right next to the jimmy, amounting to $500,000. If he impregnates somebody, she gets the money for the resulting child.  Failure to support your creation should be considered assault, punishable by imprisonment.

It takes about half a million dollars to raise one of those little buggers to the age of 18 these days, with 99% of the hassle falling on women. Guys lay down, take their pleasure and then hide behind DNA tests, because they always assume that women are doing it to someone else, too.

Men love to play the victim when it comes to accidental children, denying as long as they can get away with it.

If the man has dick insurance there is no need to chase him down for child support. That becomes a money saver. Think of all the court procedures and police actions and domestic relations happenings that would no longer be necessary.

May even save the lives of some women, because dying during childbirth is not the only thing that pregnancy causes Many men simply kill their sex partners when they get pregnant.

A penis tax might save some lives. It is infinitely more pro life than what is going on now.
The late great feminist, attorney Flo Kennedy said: If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."
She didn't lie.

If I Wanted Government Up My Ass, I Would Fuck a Congressman


Forgive my bad attitude, but the GOP clown car just parked its anti female jalopy in my backyard.  Oh lucky me.

Saw my first Newt Gingrich ad last night. Messed me up so bad, I pulled out my Xena Collection and loaded episode one on the DVD player. Considering each of Xena's six seasons has about 20 episodes, I'm good until election day in November.

Newt Gingrich on my TV makes me want to hurl. I'll leave the throwing up to Santorum, who is determined to replace the Constitution with the Bible, which is bad luck for me if he succeeds.

Even the possibility of a Santorum Presidency has me talking my dad into giving me a gun, packing my vehicles with supplies and driving deep into Central America never to return to the good ole US of A. No problema, soy habla espanol e portuguese e francais.

Santorum is leading here in Ohio, the home of Oompa Lumpa John the speaker of the house and John-boy Kasich, the clueless. Just what we need, the three stooges reunited in O-high-O. Frothy, Orangy, and Dimwit. Damn!

Makes me so happy, I could just spit. This week is going to be soooooooo much fun! Yeah, about as fun as one of those intravaginal ultrasound probes these fools intend to inflict on women, claiming it is good for a woman's mental and physical health.

I gotta suggestion guys....want to make women feel better? Kill yourselves! Just take a gun and put it to your left temple and pull the trigger. I guarantee women all over the country will feel better.

Honey, “ I've got a headache” will never again be uttered in America. Go ahead, do it for the team, right Frothy? You're used to bending over and taking it for the team, right? Not that Flipper and Lizard-boy need any schooling on assuming the position. After all they've been big time GOP insiders for a very, very long time.

I mean really, the primary is still a week away and yet we Ohioans have been inundated with political commercials since January.

First came Karl Rove and his Crossroads GPS  prevarications. Then came the candidate specific Super Pacs. Now come the candidates, Romney, Santorum, Gingrich and I guess Paul, maybe a little later since his followers seem to be collecting money on the side of the road like homeless people.

I am ready to vote today. In fact, let's call the primary and hold the election now. Get this crazy shit over with now. It is already tired and overplayed.

We know the outcome. Mitt Max Headroom Romney gets the nomination, since this is Amerikka and as we all know the person with the most money wins.

ie, Romney has more money than the Hobbit, or Lizard-boy or Frothy the Snowman. And, he has the backing of the GOP bigwigs. Most important, he looks like a president with his straight Aryan jawline, his plastered in place helmet hair,  $5000 dollar suits, blond trophy wife who has given him five strapping male offspring to showcase his family values.  So he will eventually be given the nomination, brokered convention or not. Doesn't matter.

Once he wins, he can change his name to TOAST!

Now back to my DVD collection.
