Headline: Aspiring Rapper Utterly Fails At "Turning His Life Around"
Posted by: Herr Morgenholz at December 24, 2014 07:29 AM (RubNX)
I had the sad experience yesterday of attending the funeral of an Iraq War vet who was murdered by the incompetence of the VA. He went there complaining of chest pains two weeks ago and was discharged shortly thereafter with meds for his "strained muscles". He returned, with the same symptoms, two days later and was given a prescription for a higher dose, but the same diagnosis. A day or so later, he's in intensive care at a local non-VA hospital and dies from heart failure on the operating table.
Forty-six years old, father of a young woman, engaged to the daughter of a friend of ours and a great role model for her son. His mother was every bit the "strong black single woman" who "didn't raise her two sons to be part of the street". The funeral home was packed. You will be missed, Sean, but you are loved.

Condolences.
He surely isn't alone in being horribly handled by that agency.
I occasionally point out that if you divide the annual budget of the VA by the number of veterans who are served as clients by the VA, you get a number around $58,000 per vet per year.
Even with Obamacare "Cadillac plan" taxes kicking in, 58 large would buy every single one of those vets an absolutely platinum-plated top of the line private sector health insurance policy that could be used in many more places than the disorganized dumps which the VA call "hospitals".

Well, a year and a half ago my BiL unexpectedly died (massive heart attack). After a several month hiatus, the game continued at someone elses' house. But a couple of players had a trophy made. Very cool large cup with a hand rising out of the top holding a Royal Flush. And the trophy has my BiL's name on it.
So last Sat. I finally won the damn game, and I got the trophy for a month. And since Christmas Eve is always spent over at my sisters (and late BiL's) place, I'm going to surprise her with the trophy. I just think it's fitting for that to be at her place on such a night. I'm guessing there might be some tears...

Condolences, Krebs..
On our local news last night, there was a piece where Ill. Senator Kirk was introducing a new health plan for vets.. But, after researching a bit, it seems to be limited in scope. You have to be 40 miles or more from a facility or have experienced long wait times.
As someone said above.. just buy these guys a Cadillac plan and be done with it. It would cost a lot less than than paying for this bureaucratic hole of the VA we keep throwing money into.
And Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
Our girls and their hubbies are coming over tonight.. lots of appetizers - including goat cheese, salmon, antipasto with tomatoes and crostini, etc..- and a ham.. tomorrow afternoon older daughter hosts Christmas dinner.

Most of those VA bureaucrats are there to a) swell the ranks of permanent D voters, b) award each other performance bonuses and c) ensure that none of the vets that actually need critical services aren't scamming the system and creating waste and fraud (independent of the bureaucracy approved waste and fraud).
I think Obama's approach to the military and the VA is based on his fundamentally transformational concept of rewarding his friends based on "What have these people done for me lately?" .
I do believe that is my last political post until after Christmas, else I will not maintain the proper spirit of the season.

Video is very deceiving.
For instance, the arguments we see when watching baseball games on TV aren't like what they are live.
Video has a way making things look subtle -- especially touch. How many times have you watched a boxing match and see a right hook barely land but it buckles the boxer's knees?

To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2015, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.
Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
And to My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
With all my love,

In the near future, when we're freezing in the dark due and the internet is dead due to a "North Korean" or "Iranian" EMP attack, we may not hear how a national civilian security force as strong and well funded as our military (once was) is systematically rounding up and executing certain Americans. What information networks weren't disabled may certainly be from active "Russian" or "Chinese" radio frequency jamming, though I can't be sure because my buddy who used to be a radio operator in the Army (who could have told me lots, as he also had a HAM radio station and knew all about frequency jamming) died of a heart attack last month because he wasn't able to acquire his medications and the local hospital had closed the year before. Well, we may not hear about any trouble or violence until we see the houses burning on one end of town and smell the ashes. Only then will some of us wonder why the hell we didn't 'do something'... anything... when we were strong and well fed and well rested and our ammunition lockers were full and most of our friends were still alive. Something to thwart the obvious sabotage of clearly anti-American Marxist revolutionaries in local and Federal government positions. Overt and obvious sabotage in which they openly and blatantly engaged, defying our very laws and Founding Principles... actions very clearly and specifically engineered to hamstring industry, throw social order in to chaos, and cripple our military - all, all of it to topple the United States of America. Enemy action from within our own government. Who would have ever thought...

GDP grew at 5% in the 3rd quarter. Job growth has averaged 270,000 a month with 320,000 in November. The deficit is down 60%. The Dow is over 18000. Obama has outperformed Bush on the economy.

Job growth is below what is needed to employ Americans leaving school. Again, labor participation rates are more accurate.

How do we keep this value, which is really all just bundled up on computers, when OPEC starts distorting much larger markets by depressing the price of energy?
How do we keep people employed with the courts, legislature, and White House are bent on destroying the US's competitive edge by tearing up our territorial intellectual property regime in what is an information economy?
What happens when interest rates tick up?
Nevermind getting our tax base up to pace with unfunded liabilities.
I realize you're trolling and you have no answers, but I gotta ask, more rhetorically or for anyone who's sitting on the fence - how are we more structurally sound than we were in the Bush years?
Nobody paying attention can answer that with a straight face. We put a few more two-by-fours off the edge of the cliff so we can walk another 12 feet. The cliff's still there.

The good news of the incarnation is that into the midst of real, everyday life God became flesh and dwelt among us. In the middle of the magic and messiness of life, God came. Into the realm of personal grief and family celebrations, God came. To those on the fringes of society, God came. To shepherds in fields and policemen on city streets, God came.
I pray that each of you will experience the wonder of the incarnation and the majesty of God's grace this Christmas. You may experience it this year in the quiet, personal moment of prayer after everyone has gone to sleep or in the boisterous, chaotic children's Christmas pageant. You may encounter this miracle in the glow of a candle-lit sanctuary or while washing dishes after the party is over and the family has all gone home. Stay alert. Listen closely. Open your heart. Do you hear what I hear? It is the whisper of grace that echoes through the centuries from a manger in Bethlehem.

And they're awful. Like mush. Tasteless mush. It takes me a half hour to eat a bowl.<<
Consistency of oatmeal, if that's how you're cooking them, varies with how and how long you cook it. Don't use the 1 minute kind. Don't use instant.
Throw oats in after water is boiling to set the starch and make for a more textured and less slimy bowl of oatmeal. Putting oats in cold water dissolves a lot of oat starch into the water and that cooks into wallpaper paste as you boil.
If you _do_ like slimy oatmeal--and some do--put oats in water about halfway to boil.
Try boiling water, chip in an apple, throw in some raisins, a dash of salt and a couple sprinkles of cinnamon. After raisins have swelled a little, add oats and boil slowly for three minutes, then cover and let set for five.

Take the government out of the GDP and the economy shrank.

Government regulates the living shit out of everything and everyone, strangling real economic activity.

Salt brightens foods, even if you use just a little bit -- not enough to really taste.
And let's face it, oatmeal tastes pretty bland. A pinch of salt and a pat of butter makes it a pleasant and quick breakfast.

There are multiple independent accounts of the historical Jesus. No rational historian thinks much of the claim that he is mythical.

Oh, there's always some crybaby who doesn't like that Jesus makes him feel guilty for living a life of sin. If He didn't exist, then why are his panties in a wad about it?
It is amazing to me how unself-aware these folks are, assuming that everyone will think they are so intelligent after 2,000 years of the world's best theologians and thinkers have covered this ground multiple times. After all, they MUST be smarter than anyone who has ever come across these documents before.
Plus, that Salon article is full of lies. There are concurrent mentions of Jesus from the first century, etc. If you have to lie to make your point, maybe your point isn't all that factual. Just sayin'.

Because even he couldn't stop it, though he stopped a lot of other drilling, oil pipelines, put lots of new regulations out to hamper the energy industry in general, etc. Also, note that we were talking about Democrats in general, not Obama specifically.
So, again: Why do you think that Democrats are better for the economy even though they are beholden to the greens to the point that they reflexively oppose any measure to increase energy production?

The whole point of both pancakes and waffles is to provide a platform to eat melted butter mixed with syrup.

It had a sign on it that said "Jesus' Tomb".
