more about Hillary

I used to work with a guy, that has since retired, that negotiated everything. He either did not believe in insurance or did not have the means to insure his large brood. I recall one day at work when he bit down on a piece of candy and broke a tooth. He immediately ran out from work and once home called a dentist and got in. Even though he was in excruciating pain he negotiated the price of the work before it commenced and received a sizable discount by promising to bring in said brood for teeth cleaning that year.
How many of us even ask our medical charlatans "how much" before any thing commences whether painful or just routine. I know that I don't. My wishful thoughts are that there is a specific fee that a doctor or dentist will charge for a procedure. Kinda like a menu at a restaurant. Well there isn't.
( Years ago I had a dentist that treated me before I got dental and charged me 50.00 for something. A couple of years later I went back to him after we upgraded to dental at my job. The exact same procedure had somehow increased in price enough that my now 20% copay was almost what he once charged me before I had insurance).
They charge what ever the insurance or even you will pay. Often there is a huge difference between what is payable by medicare for the exact same effort and what say Blue Cross will pay.
So why do we let them get away with this seemingly dishonest method of doing business? Anybody know? the inquiring 'ol perfessor wants to know.
Now especially when Hillary, ( to be fair it isn't just her. Republican or Democrat the tune is the same; don't cut the price of anything). is threatening to enter my back pocket for even more than the sheer waste that government at such a huge dollar level is now.,

Mandate?

the definition of "mandate" in legal jargon is; MANDATE - A judicial command or precept issued by a court or magistrate, directing the proper officer to enforce a judgment, sentence or decree.
Is that what Mrs Stalin, I mean Mrs Clinton really means? Please, please advise.

The Fossett is closing

How would you like to be these poor people looking for someone not so large in the public eye and not getting, ( it seems) the time of day. the 'ol perfessor

saeculum

When one contemplates the past, one sees cycles. the famous saeculum is a latin word, a recognition of these seasons of history. Yet, yet.....yet the whole idea of change for the sake of change is still abhorrent to me and if the seasons of history are traced will be abhorrent to the coming generation 4 times removed from mine. In the meantime, people who seek power at any cost have existed at every turn in history. so this is the spouting, pandering and bleating of this avowed Marxist and leftist Hill Clinton......the 'ol perfessor

The immigration /abortion issue

So how are those two seemingly unrelatable items relatable?
Due to the overwhelming popularity of murdering the defenseless unborn, there is a big whole in our economy. We need about forty million or so warm bodies to replace those flushed, forcepted, (forcertpd?), vacuumed and otherwise disposed of by women too dumb to cross their legs or take the pill.( And/ or men not raised by two parents to be fearful of God or willing to accept responsibility for their actions).
So.......How do you get them? The warm bodies I mean. Well, statistically second generation "Americans" of European descent always contribute to our ethnic pantheon in a positive way and certainly Europe doesn't have any bodies to spare what with their negative birth rate and all. (Putin is pretty cool naming a f*** holiday). [As a matter of fact Europe has their own lack of worker problem, ( they are fundamentally to lazy and self absorbed to f*** and/ or raise families), but they have to solve theirs with Islamic people that are unassimilateable in the extreme, (see Paris, car burning, cartoon silliness, etc),]. Abortion, like any government program instituted ,(so far), has many far reaching and totally unpredictable results. ( See welfare, destruction of traditional family, crime.).........................

PS so lets try something unimportant like healthcare this time to see if anything has changed.

osteoporosis?

Well she does admit to a weak spine. I have seen the commercials.

Crackpot theory-Hill and Billy health care

It is just a theory. A variation on the "you can't see the forest for the trees" old saying. .....But didja notice that the perpetual care and overwhelming longing for security that embraces us all that results in generations enslaved by "the Dole'......looms, {get it ; looms ,[a double entendre] cuz the socialism thing is like a loom, a thread here and a thread there and soon you have a form of cloth that would stop a bullet}......Looms! in everyones rearview mirror and seems less like nonsense every day. Everywhere the naany-med has been foisted the results have been prblematic; you can't get in to see a doctor for a year and when you do he wants to blow you up, ( like in England). Now,( even though the sun never sets on the British empire it is certainly behind some sort of perpetual dense cloud), one can be refused service for no shirt and no shoes and if you smoke or are fat. I'm sure this is a return of the Spartan model seeking perfection.
This cacophany leads me to the following conclusion. If I was a biologist looking for the origin of multicellular creatures I would seek external communication. Some type of electrical harmonizing that results in cooperation of like cells and results in conservative cells decrying their once independent state while forming a, ( for example), individually suffocating skin, or other organ. Proof? The Darweenies don't need proof why should I? Well I can spot a trend or two. The most populous states in our glorious union are also the most socialist, and individualist repressive. ( Kelo, voting for socialists, courts assuming a ruling stance, welfare, like in Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts all of which have low numbers of self reliant people compared to states like alaska, Wyoming, Nevada that just have low numbers of people.)

He turned me into a Newt,

A Newt, Well I got better. Can't anyone else recognize that "Newt" is a lunatic? He is given a pass on everything he says due to his once proud effort in congress. I notice that what was once sage advice has deteriorated into screaming poop ,( or its political equivalent), at the top of his lungs at the behest of any that will listen. Here is an example, ( fair use from an interview with;

Q: You always say that what the country needs is a candidate with big ideas. Is there anyone in either party who has the kind of big ideas that you have been talking about?

Gingrich: [John] Edwards has a lot of big ideas, but they're the wrong ones. The country needs solutions, and we need an ability to come to grips with how much change is involved in getting to those solutions. I'm deeply opposed to launching campaigns on late-night television. I think it just trivializes the whole process.

Is this the same John Edwards that preaches anti establishment fifty year old diatribes that the left has been using since the LBJ days about "2" Americas ?
Don't even read what this guy" a newt?) has to say he's obviously spotlight challenged and wants to be above the fray while dreaming of being universally drafted to rescue the US.

money and schools don't mix

I find this story to almost unbelievable. http://lowendmac.com/hodges/th07/0912.html
The amount of money that is spent on education is criminal and would amount to fraud if there were ways to measure the true wastefulness involved.

the best face money can buy

This is the scariest image of the entire 21st century. She does not, will
not, can not age,( to paraphrase Seuss). She also has been empowered by a majority of her party to sit at the side of the president at press conferences. Margaret Thatcher she aint. The caption on Drudge is "Its not enough."
Somewhere deep down inside my natural maleness shudders.
