Pith Masks

You gotta wonder about the guy a couple weeks ago who stood up and rambled for twenty plus hours seemingly about repealing the health care act while reading Dr. Seuss. What is the purpose really? Seems like yet another waste of time and tax dollars. I have had enough of our government wasting both my time and money. They do not get it. I propose training for all of them in the art of being pithy and speaking succinctly.

(Then again, maybe we could force them all to wear pith masks that they must speak through. The mask would have a computer chip that would convert their ramble into a few short sentences and then cut them off.)

Of course I know it was a grandstand show for his fifteen minutes of fame among voters in his state. What is sad is that is the sort of thing that voters respect there - rather than actually doing anything. Boy would I like that job. I will not drone on here until next time.

Governmental Darwin

Well we are at the crux of another crisis. Last month it was near war. This month the sequel to the fiscal cliff and government shut down. All of this is good for us right? We need excitement and more stress in our lives right. Well maybe everyone else does.

In the meantime some guy is talking nonsense for twenty plus hours trying to repeal the one act of this Congress that might help us cope, health care. If you have ever been without healthcare you know what I am talking about. No health insurance means more stress and more stress means more likely to have health problems. Vicious circle and very Darwinian. Ironically a lot of those fighting the healthcare act are also probably people who would argue against Darwin.
