Well Said, Dr. Halderman!

Over at American Thinker blog, Dr. Linda Halderman raises several poignant issues with Federal healthcare, even as the Senate plunges us headlong into yet another Orwellian socialistic nightmare. If the Feds say "this will cost a dollar," they REALLY mean that it will cost $100.00, and if they say, "this will cost $100," they will actually spend a million dollars, and should they say "this will cost 1.3 Trillion dollars," well, surely you grasp the concept by now.
Amtrak, Fannie Mae, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Cash for Clunkers: The list of Federal fiscal ineptitudes grows longer by the day.
But, don't believe me, hop on over to: http://usdebtclock.org and weep.

Dear, Dear Senator Wyden

Dear, Dear Senator Wyden,

Thank you for your service to Oregon and to the United States, and thank you for your expeditious reply to my previous email concerning "climate change" and whether or not it is anthropogenic in nature. That Co2 levels have increased dramatically over the past century is moot, considering that even today CO2 levels are measured in thousandths of one percent of our nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere; indeed, levels of CO2 must increase by more than 300 percent in order to achieve the status of outweighing xenon or krypton as part of our atmosphere.
Nonetheless, the average temperature is trending upward, save for the past decade, and we may in time approach an epoch when once again grapes will grow in Greenland, and the grassy tundras of Antarctica will once again turn verdant and lush.

Tell you what: figure out how to stop time, then we can tinker with the weather, since both are equally above the grasp of human thought. Mr. Gore's diatribe is laughably incorrect; climatic "computer models" exemplify the GIGO adage: "garbage In, Garbage Out," inasmuch as these "models" cannot accurately demonstrate historic weather patterns such as the Medieval "Little Ice Age," nor the "Interglacial" warming periods which we know to have occurred by forensic evidence as well as written eyewitness accounts.

Is "climate change" anthropogenic? And, if the opinions of those who believe that we have gone past the point of no return are correct, what sort of treaty or set of laws will do a nickel's worth of slowing to this vast climatic juggernaut, rather like trying to stop a speeding locomotive by putting a coin on the track?

But, what if this is simply another warming period identical to the ones in the past, when the Sahara blossomed and Alaska was subtropical rather than frozen tundra? We burn the oil which was once "biomass" in areas which now can barely support life: the Persian Gulf states, the arctic north, beneath the Gulf of Mexico, off the coastlines of Ireland and Brazil. The earth and everything on, above, and under it is subject to change, dramatic, cataclysmic, and global and no human engineering nor legislation nor treaty will alter the course of change.

Do you not remember King Canute, who dared resist the tides of the sea?
Perhaps you recall the tale of Babel, whose denizens attempted to "make a name for themselves" and became instead a towering laughingstock for all time?
Surely, the pride of the White Star Line tells you of human arrogance and of human frailty in the face of nature and under the hand of nature's God.

Hey, fix it, if you can. Knock yourself out; make a name for yourself. With my blessing.

Letter to Senator Wyden

Dear Senator Wyden;

Thank you for your service to Oregon and the United States.

Federal healthcare is rapidly becoming a toxic career move. Are you certain that you want to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic?

Ah, Portland's Hip-Hop High School, where our students learn the finer points of rap "music," grafitti, "ebonics" and bling. As parents and taxpayers, what more could we axe?

IT'S ALIVE !!

Perfect. "Official" unemployment stands at 15.4 million Americans, while the "real" number of unemployed is above 26.4 million. Once your Unemployment Insurance benefits run out, or if you don't qualify, you are not counted as "officially" unemployed. So, what could be a better time to resurrect Amnesty for Illegals? Bull's, ummm, Eye!
Congressman Luis Guiterrez of Illinois (you'll have to guess his party affiliation: it's easy)plans to introduce Amnesty 6.0.1 (beta), which bill includes details such as opposition to strengthening our border patrol along the, well, let's just say that the Atlantic coastline is already pretty secure, and so is the Kenai Peninsula; and ending local/federal cooperation in immigration deportation.

Here's a thought: Move into David Wu's or Jeff Merkley's or Ron Wyden's or Earl Blumenauer's house. Bring the whole family, even little Elvis who has the "sniffles." Eat his food, use his phone, write checks if you can find his checkbook or box of checks, charge stuff on his Nordstrom's account if you can't. Drive his car whether or not you know how or have a license: he's probably got lots of insurance. Call his doctor for advice about little Elvis's sniffles, and charge any prescriptions to the owner of the house. How long do you think it would be before the Men in Black rather undaintily haul the lot of you off to the "Ironbar Hotel?" It'll be even more fun if you pretend to be unable to speak nor understand English.

Oh, all right, take the sissy way out and just write an e-mail to your congressman and Senators
explaining why you think this proposed "amnesty" will benefit anyone other than the SEIU.
