How about a little story?
Bob lives in a modest cookie cutter house with his wife and two kids. Him and his wife work hard and have a good life together. The Bob family is in perfect health. Bob is in peak condition, he jogs ten miles to work and back every day. He eats healthy, works out and gets a physical every year. He eats meats, seafood and vegetables in moderate healthy portions, he only occasionally drinks wine and has never ever smoked. His body inside and out is prefect. His heart is strong and beats like a perfectly tuned engine, in fact, every organ in his body is in peak condition. his wife and kids are in similar condition
Frank is Bob’s next door neighbor, almost everything about Franks life is the same as Bob’s, he has a wife and two kids, lives in the same type of cookie cutter house, works for the same company, does about the same thing as Bob. The differences are mostly personal, Frank doesn’t jog to work, he takes his car when he does go in, but he mostly telecommutes. His body is in no where near the condition that Bob’s is. He is twice the weight he should be, he sits all day on his couch and works on his computer, all the while eating snacks and twinkies, his lunch is usually two large pizzas that he has delivered and dinner is whatever greasy fast food that his wife picks up on her way home from work. Frank smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and drinks heavily. His arteries are severely clogged, his liver resembles a little black rock and his lungs are black with cancerous growths.
Bob works hard to take care of himself and it shows, Frank doesn’t care and doesn’t even try.
Sadly Frank’s lungs and liver are failing, his heart is working harder then it needs to to pump blood around his large body. Frank is not going to last much longer. You see, Frank doesn’t need money, that won’t help him, Frank needs new lungs and a new liver. It’s wrong that poor Frank has no way to get the things that he needs to continue living, it’s criminal even. Then there is that horrible Bob guy, he has his perfect body while Frank wastes away. But this isn’t a sad story, don’t worry, it has a happy ending. You see in this world, there is government healthcare, Everyone gets cared for. So if Frank doesn’t have what he needs, that’s OK, you see, Bob has what Frank needs. So we’ll take a prefect lung from Bob, he does have two, and we’ll take half his perfect liver and we’ll give them to Frank.
Yay, now Frank can go back to eating his Yummy greasy burgers, and his ciggies and booze, and Bob, well he’s fine too, so what if he doesn’t have the lung capacity to jog to work anymore, that’s what cars are for! Hmm, Frank’s wife and kids are not looking good, maybe we need to get Bobs prefect little wife on the table…and when do his kids turn 18?
i am posting this from my new cellphone! Now i can not blog while away from a computer.
Yea I know I haven’t been blogging much lately, but in my defense, I have been working on my screenplay/novel. It is mostly written in my head, now I just have to get it typed out. if you know me then you know that I type really slow. So far I have maybe 50 pages typed up, just a couple of hundred more to go! maybe I’ll post some of it here for you guys to read, though I think most of my regular readers have given up on my blogging!
I have repositioned the webcams from the vacation security mode they were in. only the first two are working, the others are off for now.
Happy Birthday Boo, love you so much.
We went to the Tea Party today in downtown Orlando, we arrived early and it was already crowded, we had to park on the other side of the lake.

Here is a shot of the bandshell from across the lake.

All the seats were taken already.





lots of people with signs, I didn’t see anyone that looked like terrorists, but they are sneaky


Obviously a traitor to his race, racist!

Another traitor to his race on the stage!





‘when the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty’

















Obviously a threat, it couldn’t mean take them out of office, racist.




‘RACIST’….Wow, what a patriot speaking truth to power… Wait a minute, I’m confused!



the one you can’t make out reads warning Obama’s plan for living americans is a cookbook!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Got cancer, take a cruise









hey Obama, tell the American people the truth for a change




more ‘racism’




Hulk Hogan showed up. We heard rumors in the morning that he might be there.



His girlfriend or wife. Not sure if the blonde on the right is his daughter Brooke.

RTE and Hulk

Me and Hulk



We were tired and headed out early


A very successful event, people were still arriving when we were leaving.
the sign RTE was carrying is the graphic I created here
UPDATE: Instalanche, welcome Instapundit readers, take a look around and check out the Bakerstreet store. Thanks for stopping by.
More photos from the town hall, we got there around 4:30 or so.

the gentleman in the light blue shirt showed up and started taking pictures of the protesters

when asked why he was taking photos of us he turned tail and ran

taking off in his SUV

WOW, I hope they checked her for guns and bombs, she looks dangerous.


Newsperson from Fox35




the crowd early in the evening

This car showed up with oregon plates, WTF?

of course it was full of ProBama signs

Don’t tread on me.

crowd getting longer, still more then an hour before they will let us in.









I counted over 150 in a rough count up to the corner at about 6:30. the line went around the front of the building and down the road a ways.


finally inside, there was room for 125 and they let about 30 in from the line outside. the rest were all union and Alan’s supporters that were let in before the ‘mobsters’


us with Alan!

here is the crowd inside, remember only 30 were from outside and a few of those were pro Obamacare. notice the human child shields in use in front.

Alan’s kids took 3 seats that could have been used by those that waited over 2 hours outside, and he played them like a violin every time anyone raised their voice.

He also used them to cut the meeting short, their bedtime came up a lot.




looking up something in the bill someone in the crowd mentions.

it’s in here some where…

there’s only over 1000 pages, shouldn’t be hard to find.

here it is. Oh you are misreading it, I’m a harvard grad, you are just… well a rube!

the company you keep, side by side with Gary Siplin.

Alan’s press secretary and former member of the unbiased media Todd Jurkowski was manning the mic


Kids bed time, one more question, we started with a pro and we’ll end with a pro question. I’ll give Grayson credit for telling todd to ask 2 more questions and end with an against question. the crowd wasn’t pleased, the meeting lasted only about 1 hour and only slightly over a dozen questions were asked.


after the meeting. we missed what happened outside and the line stretched way down the road making it at least twice as long as the last time I had seen it.
UPDATE: video @ pereiraville
UPDATE 2: Instalanche! Thanks Glenn. Welcome Instapundit readers, take a look around

So last night Alan Grayson held a town hall that he hoped no one would find out about, in a small union hall to intimidate the crowds, filled with 100 of his supporters so that the deck was stacked in his favor. only 30 people that waited in line for about 3 hours got in.

us with Alan Grayson, I was going to put ‘rabbit ears’ on him but I figured the guy taking the photo wouldn’t have taken it!

the tiny venue he chose, only 30 were let in from the outside, the rest are union thugs and supporters that were let in through the side door.


the crowd outside the venue about an hour before they started letting people in.
I did a rough count and there was almost 200 people (both pro and against), the door was at the back of the building and the line stretched all the way to the front and around the corner and down the street. not sure what the final count would be as we were one of the lucky few to get in and we got there at 5pm (the event was supposed to start @ 7:45 but started after 8).
While in line, the gentleman in front of us yelled an inappropriate racial comment when after waiting in line for hours they let in several supporters ahead of us. everyone around him told him in no uncertain terms that it was not appropriate. unfortunately if someone got that on video, that will be the clip they feature to show the ‘angry racist crowd’.
So if Muslim Americans showed up at a town hall meeting to protest O’care, would the democrats have the balls to call them un-american and terrorists? We know Nancy has the biggest balls of the democrats but I’m sure she wouldn’t think of it. Not that they could get into a townhall to protest anyway, they would have to make their way through the jungle of plants!
WTF was hurricane Andrew? I’m watching the news and they are talking about this ‘hurricane’ that supposedly struck Miami on 8/17/92. OK, I pretty sure there has never been a ‘hurricane Andrew’ as they keep saying, the only hurricane ever was Katrina that the black-people-hating Bushitler unleashed with his weather machine on Na’leans. Those lying MSM vast-right-wing-conspiracy-theory creating bastards trying to rewrite history and make their leader Bushitler look good. Next they’ll be making up something like Florida getting hit by 4 hurricanes in 2004 or some BS like that! Don’t believe them! There was only Katrina.
