The Dreaded -N- Word: “November”

On By Kevin A. RansonIn Politicking, SatireLeave a comment

It has come to my attention that there are some people who are greatly insensitive to the plights of those who have suffered at the hands of others. Words may not actually cut like knives, but the meaning and intent behind the words you use are something that must always be considered when implementing their use. To those politicians who may find themselves unemployed in just a few short months and only book tours to look forward to in their retirement, use of the -N- word in their presence in nothing short of cruel.

So, the next time you see groups of politicians hanging out together or happen to pass one on the street, just remember what it feels like to be collectively grouped together when a politician refers to you with the dreaded -T- word: “Taxpayer.”

The Solution: Kindred Health Care

On By Kevin A. RansonIn Existentialism, Politicking, Satire10 Comments

I just had an incredible idea: a solution to the health care crisis.

People who believe in a “universal health care option,” where every citizen must pay to support everyone who needs it (even for services you personally may never need), often cite that it’s morally the right thing to do. The question is simply gathering up enough money to pay for it from everyone.

So I propose a “kindred health care plan” instead. If a person or family cannot afford their health care, the government will determine who the next nearest relative is to that person or family and, if they can afford it, the government will order that family to pay for their relative’s health care services.

Simple and effective, right? C’mon, they’re family! Your own kin? Shouldn’t providing for your own blood be morally the right thing to do? And it doesn’t cost the government or anyone else a thing… unless they put you in jail for being so stingy, ya uncaring deadbeat!

“Kindred Health Care: It’s All Relative.”

A Question for President Obama…

… what do you think of Apple’s new iPad?

Update: After reading up on what this iPad does, it’s getting harder to laugh at the name. For example, if you bought yourself a Kindle, eBook reader, or any netbook for Christmas, go ahead and kick yourself now (or see if you can get your money back with the receipt.) Seriously, if you could have everything in an iPod Touch the size of a netbook screen without the keyboard and a 10 hour device time, why wouldn’t you?

Speaking of Health Care Reform (Updated)

… now that people are talking about it, suddenly that’s un-American?

In a video circulating online and on news channels, the AARP is seen opening a “Town Hall” meeting with predetermined language such as, “We all agree that…” and is being shouted down even at the notion anything has already been agreed upon.

Guess what’s finally happening? People are not only curious about what the legislature and government is doing with their health care, they’re also listening carefully and questioning the language being used. They also have their own ideas, like being allowed to shop over state lines for insurance and forming small business co-ops to buy larger corporate-rate insurance to save money on rates.

Meet a Former US President!

On By Kevin A. RansonIn Conspiracies, PolitickingLeave a comment

Are you a little dictator with big, big plans? Need to be seen schmoozing with a former yet popular US President?

All you need to do is grab a couple of American journalists (men okay, ladies preferred for effect), sentence them to hard labor on some made-up charge, then put a call into Bill Clinton for the win! It used to be that only former president Jimmy Carter would show up for these things, but now you can meet “the man” himself AND keep a souvenir photo of your special day.

Yes, it’s a great day for evil.

Now, back to your nuclear research and long-range missile programs.
