Yeah ... Sure you wouldn't vote for Bush again... Uh huh...

But there is one thing you are totally correct about...

"...you knew all along what GW was up to, right?"

Yup, I sure did. Nothing worth a shit is what I knew that dipshit worthless piece of protoplasm would end up accomplishing... His life-long track record proceeded him like a bad case of clap.

Now keep biting that pillow and revising your past...

~OGD~

I got a kick out of that.

I'm sure you did ... You most likely immediately ran into your bedroom, stripped naked, jumped on the bed, bit your pillow and started choking your chicken. I hope you didn't stain your sheets.

And in reference to Fred Barnes ... I believe it's you who had noted your admiration for Barnes' great ball-licking of Bush and his cronies. See... there's no doubt that Barnes was one of your go to guys during the halcyon days of your right-wing power trip.

You ain't fooling nobody with this Johnny-come-lately centrist bullshit you're now spouting.

And you have still failed to tell all of us here about your theory that the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld pro-Big Business GOP agenda and reason behind the war in Iraq was to stabilize the markets and thereby the economy.

Now run along and bite your pillow flip-flopper and don't get any on the sheets.

Hahahahahaha . . .

From that long winded winding road, I take it the author is not an admirer of Jack Van Impe and his rockin' wife Rexella . . .

Just a wild guess.

~OGD~

Ya' mean she didn't say her uterus was lined with gold and the blood of the lamb courses through her veins?

~OGD~

My intuition tells me... that the alter-ego actually made the first response in this thread...

~OGD~

Sure! You and old Mister Bluster Butt would make a fine tag team.

I'm sure Bush's personal ball-licker Fred Barnes is actually your go to guy when it comes to everything in the milquetoast dead-center of unadulterated centrist reportage.

Oh and ... Could you possibly once again tell all of us here about your theory that the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld pro-Big Business GOP agenda and reason behind the war in Iraq was to stabilize the markets and thereby the economy.

Now... Go grab some popcorn and run along and go back a re-watch The New World again...

~OGD~

Mister Bluster Butt is able to twist the pretzel into... not four, but eight distinct twists...

Reading this crap is like looking through a psychotic prism of his world at large...

The mustard has completely come off the pretzel.

~OGD~

The above member once again reduces the commentary to munch munch munch...

~OGD~

Now run along a speak into the dic-ta-phone ... the boss is calling.

~OGD~

Funny, I'm not the one who uttered this non sequitur of knuckle-headed nonsense:

"Social Security? Every tried to live a dignified life on SSI benefits?"

That leads the reader to believe that SSI was intended to fully support a "dignified life" when in fact, as I pointed out, SSI was intended to supplement elderly retirement. So to carry this to it's logical conclusion, SSI in this context can not be considered a "failure" if it wasn't initially intended to fully support a "dignified life." But... most rational folks without an agenda understand this fact.

By the way ... No 401K here. What's platinum worth on the current spot chart?

Now let's see how many more twists can be put in the ol' pretzel by Mister Bluster Butt.

~OGD~

Some bloggers just have a way of naming themselves.

After all, you are reading one here.

QUACK!

~OGD~

Myself? I'm going sailing.

hahahahahaha . . .

~OGD~

Come on folks ... Mister Bluster is blustering...

SSI was never designed, nor has it ever been the intention this income was to provide full support to individuals in their later years. It was the original intent of Social Security to provide an old age insurance annuity to support a monthly benefit for workers who retired at age 65 financed by contributions these workers made over their career. This annuity was designed to supplement additional retirement savings.

But, don't sweat the small details...

And don't even broach the subject of the decades of raiding the fund for general budget shortfalls.

~OGD~

Hey Destor. Just in case you return here, this is to let you know I've responded to the question you raised over here.

Have a good week.

H.R. 3962

• Require all individuals to have "acceptable health coverage". Those without coverage pay a penalty of 2.5% of their adjusted income above the filing threshold up to the cost of the average national premium for self-only or family coverage under a basic plan in the Health Insurance Exchange. Exceptions granted for those with incomes below the filing threshold (in 2009 the threshold for taxpayers under age 65 is $9,350 for singles and $18,700 for couples), religious objections and financial hardship. (Effective January 1, 2013)

Baucus Bill:

• Require U.S. citizens and legal residents to have qualifying health coverage. Enforced through a tax penalty of $750 per adult per year. The penalty will be phased-in according to the following schedule: $0 in 2013; $200 in 2014; $400 in 2015; $600 in 2016; and $750 in 2017. Exemptions will be granted for financial hardship, religious objections, American Indians, and if the lowest cost plan option exceeds 8% of an individual's income or if the individual has income below 133% of the poverty level.

Out of the feeling of being disenfranchised, millions of the young people in the 60s directed themselves into to what is basically known as local communal business entrepreneurship.

You know, the ol' saw, "Think globally, act locally."

I know, I know... Today that sounds so archaic in this high-tech, fast-paced global world of ours, but it did work for millions for over two decades and it's actually still working today.

Big box stores aren't all they're cut out to be.

Some people are criticizing Lieberman for calling for an investigation. I believe Lieberman is correct in doing so. Lieberman also said that there were reports that Hasan had been communicating with some Islamic extremists. You may call that "speculation" but I think people have the right to know what the government knew. I think it's also reasonable for Lieberman to say that there were warning signs that this could have been a terrorist act.

Par for the course for a thoughtless right-winger's boorish actions...

Although, longevity is a family trait.

But even so, I do hope that our grandchild lives to see 53 . . .

I'm sure you understand.

Hahahaha . . .
