Health Care Reform Resistance, Funny Political Cartoons - 20 Mar 2010

From Denny: "March Madness" sure is descriptive of the health care reform politics more than the basketball season that was drowned out by all the political cowards and hypocrites. I sure will be glad when the House votes tomorrow whether to pass or fail the health care reform bill. Look at it this way: pass the darned thing and tinker with what's wrong with it later, making adjustments as you go along, finding out what is more needed and what is not.

Included are cartoons both pro and con in regard to the health care reform issue. What I find striking is how those against the reform don't mention the huge fast-rising health care premium costs from the insurance companies. And those excessive Republican ads they are running in my state are complaining about how Obama Care is going to cost the taxpayer $60 million is an outright lie. Those ads are underwritten by the insurance companies, the same guys we pay premiums. Kind of annoying, don't you think? Using our money to produce and run lying ads.

The reality is Obama is saving $60 million by cleaning up Medicare by reducing waste and fraud. Yeah, that's right. The good news is Obama finally put some enforcement teeth into dealing with the fraud. Already, 16,000 companies who scammed the taxpayers during the Bush-Cheney years, have folded shop because they were found out to be shell companies. Now that's the enforcement the public was looking for from the Obama administration. Good government isn't always about throwing wads of money at a problem. Many times it's about being good stewards with that money. To do that you have to actually deal with those who are stealing from the public treasury.

The cartoonists had a good time lampooning both sides of the political aisle, calling it "health care reform resistance." They are still not happy with Israel's obvious peeing dog behavior on Vice President Biden. There is debate in Israel that it was not a smart move as well.

Between the public's high disapproval rating of Congress and the cartoonists' disdain there are a lot of cartoons expressing dissatisfaction. And what about crazy conservative Texas taking over our public school systems? Hard to believe that this one ultra conservative guy who is throwing out regular textbooks in Texas could affect the rest of America.

This so-called conservative revolution is nothing but a grab for money. These same textbooks were pushed and written by the likes of Newt Gingrich who altered the facts to his liking rather than face reality. The sad thing is if we allow this to stand then an entire generation of free-thinking minds go down the black hole into controlled minds for political gain.

Did you hear that Tiger Woods is showing up to play in the Masters? True. Expect those cartoons out the next week or so as I'm sure the cartoonists will have some interesting perspective. :) Take a look at this week's offerings and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Fantasy education sponsored by the Republicans:

Conservatives re-write historical fact with their brand of fiction. Read that as Newt Gingrich wrote several of those fantasy factual "textbooks" to pass as educating materials in our public schools. Gingrich and his cronies stand to make a lot of money to their bank accounts once this Texas guy forces lies into the classroom across America.

First it's "throw the bums out" for the politicians. Now it's "throw the bums out" for teachers across America. The average 13 year old American child cannot read but on the third grade level. When did this country become a third world country? Don't worry, Baby Boomer generation. You will have a high-paying job for life plus 70 years at the rate the Republicans have taken apart the public school system. And it's getting worse if we allow The Gingrich Program to advance:

29 Post Roundup at Dennys Blogs 14 Mar 2010

From Denny: Remember me? You know, the woman who was pining away, waiting for Winter to leave and Spring to come? Yeah, well, the past two weeks here in south Louisiana the tree pollen blast has forced me to practically buy stock in the Kleenex brand of nose tissues. :) With all the fun Spring has sprung on my immune system I had to dial it back and was not able to write as many posts. You know that amusing but true proverbial saying of "Politics is so ugly; it's like making sausage"? Writing this past week has not been much prettier. Lucky you that you don't have blogger video cam! :)

I started keeping up with the news headlines over at Dennys Global Politics, partly to go back and write an opinion piece, partly just to see what's out there across the media spectrum. There are mainstream stories along with the obscure you might not have noticed. The stories are excerpted yet provided with links so you can read in more detail if you prefer.

There are many awesome recipes to enjoy, along with the food video tutorials. There are a few poems and spiritual thoughts to consider. There is a science post about just how much the Chilean earthquake affected the planet, pretty scary stuff. And, of course, my total favorites: lots of rocking good humor posts with funny videos I find while checking in with my social sites. What would life be without friends?

Funny Political Cartoons: Political Olympics, Broken Government, Lampooning Toyota - 27 Feb 2010

From Denny: This week the cartoonists were bearing down on the corruption in our politics - mainly from Big Business, Big Banks, Big Health Insurance and the Republicans. The President's Health Summit fizzled because of the silly Republicans who thought they were endearing themselves to the insurance companies. They did not endear themselves to the American public.

See: Republicans Smash Health Care Summit, Snub Prez Obama

Toyota - and their cavalier attitude toward public safety - did not escape their scorching pens either. When Toyota's President Akio Toyoda finally showed up to testify and apologize before the American Congress, there were actually newscasters in Japan questioning that Toyoda's predicament was the result of American politics. Are they crazy? Toyota's own emails and memos denounced them as the conniving deceitful greedy businessmen they truly are. They have been hiding evidence of serious defects for decades from the American government and the public who trusted them and their product.

So, my question back at the so-called journalists in Japan: How many of you are bought and paid for by Toyota or the Japanese government? Toyota made their mess all on their own. They just regret finally getting caught and having to answer for their crimes against the public. Lives have been lost due to their cavalier attitude.

Olympic cartoons still abound, especially in regard to Obama and The Party of No! and what a feat it is to medal gold around this cantankerous bunch. Politics really is an Olympic sport: you have the reckless thugs and those trying to display some classy attitude as they compete.

Tiger Woods still roasts on the fire of most people's lips and the cartoonists' furious pens. His third sponsor dropped him this week: Gatorade. Tiger is watching his $500 million in sponsor deals do a slow motion evaporation in spite of his half-hearted insincere efforts.

The man is obviously mentally or emotionally ill and in need of a long rest away from the spotlight. I have yet to hear of a cure for narcissism so the jury is still out on whether he can regain any one's trust now that he was outted by his mistresses. It's a lot less about sex and more about trust and good character as to why so many people are now turned off to him. Usually, when you see a celebrity fall apart all at once like this it's because the longer it goes on the more difficult it is to hide the issues.

Toyota is spinning out of control in America. They parade out apologies instead of real solutions because they are too cheap to pay for them. They are arrogant enough to believe they will dominate the American auto market again. Uh, guys, news flash: You are toast. Pack up your cars and go home. Toyota used car sales are plummeting and will remain so for years as a result of your idiot strategies. Glad I don't own one. Any one who does had better ride it until the wheels fall off or trade it quickly for something far more road worthy.

The Olympic cartoons are not yet out in full force but this one recounts the time when there was not a dry eye in the house when this Canadian skater, Joannie Rochette, won the Bronze medal in ladies' figure skating after her mother suddenly died of a heart attack just two days before the event. It really shows an Olympic fortitude you have to admire even if she didn't receive the gold. She got the gold in so many people's hearts all around the world.

Best Olympic moment:
