Florida Doctor Has Hissy Fit

Hippocratic OathA urologist in Florida hates the new healthcare plan, so he’s put up a passive aggressive sign saying he doesn’t want to treat people who voted for Obama.  Of course, he still has to treat them if he wants to keep his license/remain ethical, as per the Hippocratic Oath he took, but dammit, he wants to throw a hissy fit, and doggone it, he has.

Full story on Fox News, as if we could trust them, anyway.

Palin Pew Pew Pew

The article isn’t super interesting, but the picture is somewhat terrifying… Not only does she look deranged, she’s got poor trigger discipline.  Granted, there’s no magazine in the weapon, but who’s to say that there isn’t a round in the chamber?

“Three words: Not. good. for. the. country.”

“OK that’s 5 words.”

The last teaparty protest before the passing of the new healthcare bill sustains the juicy legacy of the teaparties before it.

“It’s a pitchfork. It’s made out of cardboard and it’s symbolism, symbolic. When the people get to the point where they’ve had enough, they grab their farm tools and they storm the castle.”

“I don’t think Obama believes in the Constitution”
“Even though he’s a constitutional scholar?”
“So they say”

“Fox News, everybody else is on Obama’s side”

Yes, it’s from a channel called NewLeftMedia and is not exactly unbiased. But it’s always interesting to see people earnestly regurgitating right wing bullshit. If these people weren’t voters it would be adorable, but they are so it’s a little terrifying.

Congress: Sticks and Stones

AND YOU.

Well, apparently our Congressional representatives have as much class as 3rd graders on the playground.  Bonus at the end of the article.

The Short Version: “Someone shouted “baby killer” Sunday as an anti-abortion Democratic congressman was speaking on the House floor shortly after the chamber passed a sweeping health care reform bill with his help.” — Excerpt from the CNN article.

We Can Make Things, We Can Make Things Cars

Well the crops are growing very well and they’re organic and some have pesticides and I think that we should make a perfect pesticide for the crops that is good for people and healthy and keeps the crops preserved too because we need the food because it’s food and stuff and organic food is good also. And the businesses down town really needs to lower their rent. Because if the rent was lowered those people would really have their own business. They have enough stuff, they’re very good at making things, they’re like experts. We can really be a community and make the things and sell them in our stores and I really believe that it can be a California thing that it can really work out because we can be rich in cotton and mining metals and silk worms and we can make things, we can make things; cars, the machine can make it for us. And we can have the community and the city and San Francisco and we can make things and put them in the store. On the east coast they have slaves and they believe in slavery and made in China but on the west coast, the US coast we don’t believe in that. We believe in the Union and that’s what we are. The Bush administration, which is really good um he has government funding for small business owners. You can grow every kind of fruits and vegetable you want. That’s how they do it. They have fruit trees and vegetable trees. That’s where fruit and vegetables come from. You freeze the fruits and vegetables it will last forever. You can put you know broccoli or strawberries in the freezer, it will last forever. If you don’t it might go bad in a while. People, we live in California, this is our home. This is where we live. Growing food is so good for the people because it’s free. All you have to do is pay the farmers and pay for the land. But why do we have to pay for the land, the land is free it’s new land you know. Do we have to pay for the land, do you have to pay rent? Do you have to pay. The food is free so we should just sell it at the farmer’s market.

“When Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) recently released his Roadmap for America’s Future — a plan which purports to balance the federal budget over the next few decades without tax increases — conservatives leapt to embrace it….”
