Brushfire of Freedom
The Irritable Pundit
Vacation.
Do you really have to leave to be on vacation?
Well, the word does come from “vacate”, so perhaps. But then again, I’ve gone on “vacation” to see my family. And as that was my original home, you could make the argument that what I am really doing is just going back. Meaning of course that I’ve actually been on vacation the entire time since I moved away.
However, as I’ve been working my kiester off ever since I left, that would mean that I have been working on vacation for years. That’s a weird thought, which makes me irritable, which is PERFECT as this weeks Irritable Pundit installment needs to be written. Like how I came full circle on that?
Your liking it won’t make me less irritable.
Why am I so hostile today you ask? It is just that this Obamacare nonsense is foolish enough to make a nun cuss. And also that we really are losing our freedoms in a thousand little ways. Freedom is dying by 1000 bureaucratic cuts my friends.
Have you seen that in the UK the government run healthcare agency is denying pain injections? Seriously. Drudge http://www.drudgereport.com has a link to a telegraph article. It is enough to make your head explode. Apparently, in the UK they won’t pay for pain-killing drugs if they aren’t sure what is wrong. (Article in the UK Telegraph)
So let’s get this straight. You have a bad back, but we aren’t sure why so… suffer? This is the healthcare they want to bring over here?! Sister Mary Magdalene is taking a deep breath my friends and her impending exhalation will be enough to make a sailor die of shame.
Enough. Lets end this “healthcare” Irritable Pundit series with a few salient points, and then I am headed off for more vacation moments with the family. Specifically, there are a few pieces of pecan pie that have my name on them and are…
WARNING: The following sentences have been determined to promote unhealthy lifestyles by the United States Federal Advisory Taskforce (US-FAT) and have been removed pursuant to Executive Order 4829, Section C , Subsection ii, “Required promotion of healthy lifestyle choices to lower healthcare costs”.
… and who wouldn’t want that? Family, friends, and others who we put up with if you know what I mean. Like that friend of my fathers who never got married and…
WARNING: The preceding and following sentences have been determined to demean others under President Obama’s recently enacted diversity statutes. The Presidential Council of Government Action Youth (PC-GAY) specifically found that any usage of traditional marriage is to be considered offensive and must be removed pursuant to Executive Order 69, Section O, Subsection PP”
… yeah, you know me. Still, that’s just how things work. Nothing will ever change…
WARNING: The concise version of the Presidential Office of Management and Operation’s Radical Education Dictionary plainly states that any negative use of “change” is strictly forbidden. Any author unsure as to style utilization of “change” is requested to examine the associated rule set in MAO’s little RED book.
… but aren’t we all worried about our freedoms being eroded? Isn’t it about time we get together and stop all this nonsense? Just rise up and… hang on a second, someone is knocking at the door.
PUBLIC NOTICE: The weekly installment of the “Irritable Pundit” has been replaced by the US Government Approved “Happy Citizen!” segment, which will soon be the number 1 rated blog in America (as determined by the New York Times). A preview follows:
“Hello all non counter-culture friends! I am so happy! And happy to be here! Isn’t that great? I am the Happy Citizen! Aren’t you happy too? Aren’t we all happy under President Obama? Of course we are! And so happy to be happy! Happy Citizens one and all! Do you know anyone who is not happy? It would make Obama happy if you could send their name to the Bureau of Intelligence, Taskforce Executions, Major Eliminations (BITEME).
Happy! Happy! Happy!”
