Yesterday, Mr. and Mrs. Chip Head proposed a new federal health care program appropriately named Simple Health Insurance Trust. SHIT would cover every American except those in Congress, the White House, and the federal bureaucracy.
Untold numbers of people wanted to know what Mr. and Mrs. Head planned for those government employees not covered by SHIT. Their health care program would be Benefits for Active and Retired Feds. BARF would come out of legislation for all those public servants that are so poorly compensated for their 40 hours a week.

Mr. and Mrs. Chip Head are making an open proposal to all federal lawmakers concerning the health care crisis. (Everything in President Obama’s life is a crisis. The man needs to take up yoga, for crying out loud!)
Our proposal is an enlargement and simplification of the current Health Savings Accounts (HSA), with some off-the-shelf technology thrown in for good measure. We believe an appropriate name would be Simple Health Insurance Trust. SHIT will cover every living American except those in Congress, the White House, and the federal bureaucracy.

As long as The Cool One has celebrities passing away right and left (Jocko, Farah, Ed, etc.) we can just keep on going merrily along…la la la.
(Reported today the U.S. unemployment rate reaches 9.5%, a 26 year high. President Obama’s plan to deal with it was to blame it on Bush.)

In honor of America’s pops, Reverend Obama delivered a Father’s Day sermon. As usual, the Reverend instructed America’s dads in how to live their lives.
Celebrating the good deeds of our wonderful selfless fathers would not be keeping in character with the Reverend. One has to wonder if our Reverend in Chief was inspired by the old Saturday Night Live Church Lady or by Chicago’s Reverend Wright?

President Obama has said he has no interest in running GM.
At the end of March, Obama fired GM CEO Rick Wagner.
At the end of May, Obama told Detroit Mayor Dave Bing GM will not move its headquarters from downtown Detroit to its suburban Warren tech center.
At the end of May, the UAW and the Democrat Congress told GM it could not import its Chinese made autos into the United States.
At the beginning of June, Barney Frank told GM CEO Fritz Henderson not to go forward with closing a Massachusetts distribution center.

There has been much made recently regarding the Federal KIAs (know-it-alls) wanting to limit paychecks for employees in the financial industry. Opponents claim it is not such a good idea. Yale Law School Professor Jonathan Macey stated, “This is a very bad trend.”
That may be so, but KIAs instructing America’s businesses how much to pay their employees is nothing new. Been going on since October 1938. That is when the KIAs deemed $0.25 per hour the least one could be paid, whether they earned it or not.
Why not a maximum wage if we have lived with a minimum wage for over 70 years? Come to think of it, there are some Hollywood types that should sacrifice a little like the rest of us…way over paid!

Everything in the news (I like to call them the antique media, others call them the main street media or drive by media) for months has been how wonderful the Obamas are for America. How lucky we little people are to have them as our first couple, ruling us with such benevolence.
There are a few reasons the antique media continues the constant onslaught of such unprofessional reporting, one of which is to demoralize conservatives and Republicans (which we know are not the same thing, but Democrats/liberals think is). Try as they might, just ask yourself this: Why is it we have heard people that voted for Senator Obama say it was a mistake yet nobody that voted for Senator McCain say the same thing?

Since the inauguration of President Obama, the United States has experienced a rash of gun and knife violence. Some folks may believe the best thing to do is outlaw handguns and kitchen utensils. That only deals with the symptom. We need to treat the underlying cause of the disease: The Obama Administration.
We must all agree the people of this great country cannot continue to suffer the devastating increases in unemployment since Mr. Obama became President. As a diverse nation, we may not agree on all important issues facing this compassionate community of ours, but surely we can agree President Obama’s depressing economic rhetoric of monumental sacrifice required of all Americans (except professional athletes and Hollywood entertainers), his reminder of the stark reality of unimaginable multi-trillion-dollar deficits (to be paid off by children not yet born), his determination to rid the country of its nuclear arsenal (to prove our moral authority) while enemies ramp up theirs, are just a few of the stressful elements causing some of our fellow Americans to fall deeply into depression and despair. To lose hope.
In his Inaugural Address, President Obama stated “our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions - that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.”
Mr. Obama told us during his speech to the Democrat National Convention last summer “Individual responsibility and mutual responsibility - that’s the essence of America’s promise.”
Following his own words, President Obama must take responsibility for what he has wrought and make one of those personal sacrifices of which he is always reminding us. Resign the Office of the President. For the good of the country. After all, his has some skin in this game, too.
