I learned from a number of sources that many of Senator Landrieu’s constituents were having trouble getting through to her office to tell her that they didn’t want her taking millions of federal dollars in exchange for her vote on the healthcare bill. When asked about this, Senator Landrieu’s explanation was that, “Our lines have been jammed for weeks.” I decided to investigate why a representative of the people would be out of touch with her constituents for “weeks” because her phones were broken. In investigating this matter, we decided to visit Senator Landrieu’s district office – the people’s office – to ask the staff if their phones were working.

On reflection, I could have used a different approach to this investigation, particularly given the sensitivities that people understandably have about security in a federal building. The sole intent of our investigation was to determine whether or not Senator Landrieu was purposely trying to avoid constituents who were calling to register their views to her as their Senator. We video taped the entire visit, the government has those tapes, and I’m eager for them to be released because they refute the false claims being repeated by much of the mainstream media.

Remember James O’Keefe?  He and Hannah Giles broke the news stories on just how far ACORN was willing to go, including breaking laws.  Several ACORN (Obama’s pets) offices aggreed to help them set up illegal underage prostitution houses with federal aid.  The stories broke and the left went nuts.  They completely ignored the fact that the ACORN offices were more than willing to break the laws.  Enter todays news about O’Keefe attempting to wire tap Mary Landrieu’s office.  The left are all over his “crime”.  Where were they on ACORN’s crimes?  Completely ignoring the issue, that’s where.

Reminds me of a time that I reported a copyright violation to a site I sell through.  I had bought a merchants resource believing that the seller had the right to sell the digital images she was selling.  Then someone posted a link to the website where she copied her resource from (it was quickly pulled from the forum at the request of the infringer).   After contacting the website and learning that they did not, in fact, allow such use of their digital images I contacted the site she was selling them through and quietly reported it.   Now I’ve been a member there for years and watched innocent mistakes publicly denounced in public forums.  It ruins reps and serves no one.  I reported it quietly so as not to destroy someone’s rep and what did I get for it?   Her friends decided to post angry comments in the merchant forum, not towards her stupid mistake which she should have known better than to do but against the person who reported it.  That’s right, her idiot friends claimed that a 3rd party shouldn’t have been able to bring the copyright infringement to the sites attention, that it was only the copyright holders place.  The problem with that is the site that she stole from would never have known.   Were it someone they weren’t personal friends with they would have had their pitchforks out against them.  Did she, or they even bother to consider that I could have made a public issue out of it?  She certainly wouldn’t be selling where she is now if I had.  I did her a favor and she never even bothered to explain to her customers why she had to pull the product.

So same sh*t different market.

Based on my experience with them, I fully believe Opinion Outpost is a scam.  In my experience, I have qualified for a survey only to spend anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes answering questions only to be told either quotas are met or I’m am not, in fact, qualified.  This after they’ve received quite a bit of information from me.  Contacting them does no good either as I’ve explained this frustration to them and they basically claim there is nothing they can do.  As soon as I suggested that it makes them look like a scam site they clam up.  I’m very curious if anyone else has had a bad experience with Opinion Outpost.  If so, leave a comment.  I’d like to hear it.

In between loads of laundry I wrote out the words to a parody of an old country song that was anti-Obama.  I won’t post them here yet, I haven’t decided quite how to use them.  I thought about putting them to the music but I’m not sure I have the software for it so we’ll see.  Cledus T Judd came to mind, I could just see him singing it.  As did Alfonzo Rachel.  I’ll post them soon.

Not only did Obama not bother to leave the golf course while on his multi-million dollar Christmas vacation (paid for by taxpayers like me who worked Christmas Day) when the US was attacked by an Islamic terrorist, his top official in charge of analyzing terror threats refused to leave the ski slopes either.

Feel safe yet?

How about we connect the dots for Obama on this case where a man was taken off of a plane for making terrorist threats. They’ve decided it was a “police matter”.  So what was it, disturbing the peace?  The dots are all there, they simply refuse to connect them.

Rasmussen Reports that only 34% favor the single payer health care system.  Yet the Democrats are trying to ram it down our throats without even reading the bill, a fact many of them have admitted.  Already we have had a “National Task Force” (read: Obamarule) decide that women do not need mammograms until their 50’s, shaving off 10 years of previous recomendations.

Dr. John McBee, a Pendleton surgeon, is one physician who is baffled by the new guidelines, describing them as “insane.” The task force recommendations, he said, don’t gibe with his personal observations.
“I have many patients diagnosed in their 30s,” he said, “who would not be alive today in their 40s without mammograms.”

And now the Mayo Clinic is dropping some Medicare patients:

Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) — The Mayo Clinic, praised by President Barack Obama as a national model for efficient health care, will stop accepting Medicare patients as of tomorrow at one of its primary-care clinics in Arizona, saying the U.S. government pays too little.

More than 3,000 patients eligible for Medicare, the government’s largest health-insurance program, will be forced to pay cash if they want to continue seeing their doctors at a Mayo family clinic in Glendale, northwest of Phoenix, said Michael Yardley, a Mayo spokesman. The decision, which Yardley called a two-year pilot project, won’t affect other Mayo facilities in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

Obama in June cited the nonprofit Rochester, Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio for offering “the highest quality care at costs well below the national norm.” Mayo’s move to drop Medicare patients may be copied by family doctors, some of whom have stopped accepting new patients from the program, said Lori Heim, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, in a telephone interview yesterday.

“Many physicians have said, ‘I simply cannot afford to keep taking care of Medicare patients,’” said Heim, a family doctor who practices in Laurinburg, North Carolina. “If you truly know your business costs and you are losing money, it doesn’t make sense to do more of it.”

Welcome to the future of Obamacare, Democratic rule and the age of ultimate ignorance.

Even if you don’t like the style, personally, I love the grunge look and found uses for it in last years school yearbook, there is a lot of information.
