		<description>&quot;Look Dad; here it is, my first great legislative achievement - the Immigration and Nationality Act of of 1965&quot;! enthused young Ted.

The excited Junior Senator shoved the document under the nose of his wheeelchair bound, brain damaged and paralyzed father.

&quot;Aaaaaarrrrr...&quot; drooled the senescent Ambassador. &quot;Nnnnrrrrrrr...&quot;.

&quot;That&#039;s what you always say!&quot; pouted Ted. &quot;Whatever I do, its never good enough for you! I thought this time it would be different and for once you&#039;d say &#039;good job, Ted&#039;. Look Dad, my Bill guarantees a steady supply of cheap housemaids, pool boys and gardeners from south of the border for the convenience of rich white people like us. Housemaids, Dad - you like the housemaids, remember?&quot;

&quot;Aaaarrr aaaarrr&quot; agreed Old Joe, nodding and spitting enthusiastically (or maybe it was just another spasm - who could tell?)

&quot;And you know what else, Dad? It&#039;ll help keep out anymore of, um, those people. It&#039;ll be Mexicans galore from now on and ix-nay on the you-know-whos&quot;.

&quot;Eeerrr?&quot; queried the rum-running, backstabbing, Nazi loving, robber baron bastard.

&quot;You know, the ew-jays&quot;.

&quot;Waarrr?&quot;

&quot;The id-yays, the ike-kays, the ebie-hays, the osen-chay eople-pay!&quot;

&quot;Waarrr?&quot;

&quot;You know, the ones who secretly run the world! The ones who lie and manipulate and steal, who are driven by a remorseless lust for power and money, shameless, corrupt...&quot;

&quot;Us?&quot;

&quot;No, not us! The ew-jays!&quot;

&quot;Waarrr?&quot;</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t it be fun if someone somehow snuck in legislation mandating that moneys obtained from illegal sources was subject to a 100% inheritance tax?

There would go the Kennedy fortune right there.</description>

		<description>And that was after the Moron had touted the Mayo Clinic as an example of how he wants to reform Health Care (which is an obvious lie, but even so, it&#039;s deliciously ironic.  As I seem to recall, the Mayo Clinic strives to keep people alive, as just one of the differences between the two approaches.).</description>

TWEETS YOU NEED TO READ

McCain touts Mayo Clinic’s dismissal of House health proposal 
@ 2:18 pm by Jordan Fabian 
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took to Twitter to echo the Mayo Clinic’s negative sentiments toward the House healthcare reform proposal.

He tweeted Monday:

Mayo Clinic lambastes House Healthcare bill - one of the most well respected health care providers in the US - THEY ARE RIGHT!

http://bit.ly/uVkoe

McCain linked to a Briefing Room piece detailing the Minnesota-based health clinic’s statement on the legislation. Mayo said on its Health Policy Blog that the bill “misses the opportunity to help create higher-quality, more affordable health care for patients….In fact, it will do the opposite.”

The Mayo Clinic’s statement came as the American Medical Association gave the House bill a high-profile boost last week. Three House committees are currently marking up the legislation.

The Senate Doctors Show, which is a GOP-sponsored talk show on healthcare hosted by Sens. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), re-tweeted Mayo’s statement and the Briefing Room piece.</description>

		<description>There were &quot;Kennedy family&quot; specials all over television this weekend (anniversary of JFK, Jr. death) and for some reason I don&#039;t turn them off.

I am so damn sick of obscenely wealthy people like the Kennedys (the whole darn lot of &#039;em) crying &quot;social justice for all.&quot; Honestly, is there a Kennedy that has had to live on $300 a month (after rent) because his or her paycheck is slow in coming or nonexistent? 

Let THEM put their money where their mouths are. How about that family &quot;adopt&quot; a few hundred families in need of &quot;social justice&quot; and house, clothe, feed, and health care &#039;em. And I don&#039;t mean create another &quot;foundation&quot; to benefit the &quot;downtrodden&quot;—so relatively little of their own money goes into those things anyway. Go find some families and put &#039;em in some of the houses at Hyannisport. Seems there&#039;s plenty to go around. 

It&#039;s easy to say that &quot;we&quot; should be taking care of others &quot;less fortunate&quot; but the Kennedys are better at it than most. Where is their family&#039;s contribution? (And don&#039;t do the &quot;oh but look at all of the pain that family has suffered!&quot; just like the television shows do. They could always afford to bury their dead.)

One of those programs said that of all of the Kennedy brothers, Ted is the one who has made the most impact on history. Mary Jo&#039;s family would probably agree. 

Yes, Catie, Teddy will rise to heaven from all of those prayers that his family and Kennedy family worshippers will say for him at the time of his death. But while he&#039;s waiting in line like everyone else when he gets there, Mary Jo will be there to help process his paperwork and she will get to stamp &quot;reject&quot; on that file, and pull the trap door down to hell.

I am gobsmacked that there were no consequences of that sin ... had he been a conservative, he&#039;d have been tried, convicted and still in jail. Which is what should have happened anyway.</description>

		<description>&quot;Another cardinal principle of reform: we have to make certain that people can keep the coverage they already have. Millions of employers already provide health insurance for their employees. We shouldn’t do anything to disturb this. On the contrary, we need to mandate employer responsibility: except for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees, every company should have to cover its workers or pay into a system that will.&quot;

Of course they&#039;ll never say so, but this is all just a battle in the pitched war against wal-mart.</description>

		<description>These social justice Catholics like these fools make me ill.  I wonder if that son of his would have enjoyed having gone into &quot;managed care&quot; when he had his cancer and he was prevented from seeking anything else no matter what his buffoonish, killer father could afford. 
Well, I hope he enjoys what time he has left on earth because I&#039;m sure that Mary Jo will be there to &quot;meet and greet&quot; him on his way to hell.</description>
