Blagojevich Impeached by Illinois House (114 – 1) – What about Burris?

Chicago politics, don’t ya just love it! It sure has given the news media plenty to report on in the last few weeks. I hesitate to waste too much time trying to further explain this arrogant boob’s blunders of the past. But, being from Illinois, it was no surprise that he was under investigation. It was no surprise that he has multiple corruption complaints against him. The bigger surprise is that he hasn’t already been put in jail or already been impeached in the past. He actually got re-elected after his first term of the same stuff! I don’t know anyone in this state outside of Chicago that doesn’t …

Blagojevich Pleads Insanity. Yep, He Thinks Everyone Else is Nuts!

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich seems to be setting himself up for an insanity plea in his criminal trial. It really doesn’t take that much set up. Let’s face it, he is not stupid but he is definitely “Nuckin’ Futs”! He actually thinks it’s everyone else that is crazy. In his own way he’s pleading insanity for the rest of the world. One of his best supporters in the past, and big time power player in the Chicago political corruption machine, Mayor M. Daily (son of Richard J. Daily) even called him cuckoo! I don’t blame the Mayor. He has to feel a little threatened and he needs to convince others …

Dhimmitude and Healthcare Reform – Is Dhimmitude Really a Word?

Could “Dhimmitude” and “ObamaCare” help “Cordoba House” gain more support in the future? ANYONE HEARD THIS? Remember when the moron, Speaker of the House, (soon to be x-Speaker, not x-Moron of the house), Nancy Pelosi, made that incredibly stupid statement, “we have to pass the healthcare bill in order to see what’s in it”? Well, here is just another little tidbit of what is actually in it!! Dhimmitude – What does it mean? Obama used it in the health care bill. How interesting is this? It is actually used in the health care law. Every day there’s another revelation of what Obama and his …

Governor Rod Blagojevich a Crook? Ya think…maybe? Surprise, surprise! Selling the vacant Senate seat of Barack Obama? Do you believe it? Papa Boomer says, “You Betcha”! Least Popular Governor in the US We all remember the heat that was taken by the most popular Governor in the US, Governor Sarah Palin, during the presidential election.

New Health Insurance Law and How It Affects You

With the new health care law being in the news a lot since it was first proposed, it can be a confusing subject with varying opinions. There has been a lot of debate over the fact that if you do not buy health insurance, you will incur an annual penalty. This penalty with be either a flat amount, or a percentage of your income. The new law will also have many other effects on various groups of people. For seniors, they will receive benefits like slowing eliminating the “doughnut hole” that they currently have to deal with when purchasing medications. …

Affordable Health Care For America Act

What does it mean for now, for later … and for you? The debate goes on but seems to have gotten so boring that the news media has forgotten about it. This is probably because it has little or no affect on most people in the immediate future. A few nice, but non-consequential, things take place now to make it sound better. The hard stuff doesn’t really become noticeable until after the mid-term elections. It is not until then, and the following 48 months, that most people will be affected, and not necessarily in a good way. On March 23, 2010, …

Corporations Don’t Pay Taxes – People Do! Government Doesn’t Pay For Health Care – Taxpayers Do!

As a follow-up to The Real Cost of Health Care Reform – Who pays For It?, I felt compelled to further defend the case. A friend of mine called me to contest my position concerning the business model that says that no one pays for tax increases or increased health care cost except you and me the consumer, employee, or stockholder. Not so, says my attorney friend. My friend says his business is different. His business doesn’t fit the model. He believes that in his business there are no stockholders and he can’t defer it to his employees or customers. He …

Obamacare: Can You Handle Truth?

What does health care reform include … REALLY? How does a boomer like me separate the the Facts(Bull) from the Myths(Crap)? One side says one thing. The other side says something completely different about the same fact. One thing for sure, both sides have their own spin on what is and isn’t in the bill. At least some of that spin seems to me to be a distortion of the English language. Some of the spin is a blatant distortion of the truth. At this point, some of the arguments your friends, neighbors or co-workers continue to debate don’t even …

Obama’s Boomer Plan

President Obama has made a strong run on getting the Baby Boomers on his side. Many of his discussions are targeted towards the retirement community. Obviously, with the state of the economy, baby boomers are on the edge of their seats, seeing how these new policies will affect them. If Obama’s plan does pass, here’s what baby boomers can expect. 1. Automatic enrollment plan. Employers that do not currently offer a retirement plan will be required to enroll their employees into a direct deposit IRA account that is compatible to existing direct deposit payroll . Employees can opt out if …
