What A Way To Go!
What Do President Barack Obama and David Tennant Have In Common?
Okay.
It’s a tough question.
I asked my husband this question.
I said: ” Luis, guess what David Tennant and Barack Obama have in common”
He says, ” you. “
Okay, that was a good answer but in this case it was wrong.
Funny.
But wrong.
Here is the real answer:
In the survey of 9-11-year-olds by the National College for the Leadership of Schools and Children’s Services ( that’s in the U.K.) President Obama and David Tennant were the top two picks for “Dream Headteacher”
President Obama came in second- David Tennant came in first- there, that ought to make the Birthers and Teabaggers here in the U.S. happy.
All of that important insight aside, here is the complete list
The top 10 “dream headteachers”:
1 David Tennant;
2 Barack Obama;
3 JK Rowling;
4 Cheryl Cole;
5 David Beckham;
6 Will Smith;
7 Michelle Obama;
8 Alan Sugar;
9 Lewis Hamilton;
10 Alan Shearer.
What a bunch of smart kids they have over there in the U.K.
It must have something to do with that Health Care System they’ve got.
Let’s Hear It For #37!
“We’re Number 37”
Come one, Come all
Down to the hall
We’re gonna make noise
We’re gonna bust balls
We’re gonna disrupt
We’re gonna jump in the fray
I got a list of all the things that we’re supposed to say
We’re gonna get real rowdy
Have a barrel of fun
But we’re the USA so by the way be sure to bring a gun
And buddy
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
We’re Number 37
And were so proud to say
We got old people crying at the pharmacy
Pay your deductible
This aint the land of the f-f-f-free Grandma
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
People of the town come on down
And if you got a crazy rumor you can spread it around
I kind of like my insurance and I like my health
The other 47 million can go treat themselves
To some prayer in chapel
Fold your hands and pray
Because we are a Christian nation and that is the Christian way
And brother
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
The big Number 37
And we’re so proud to say
Were #1 one in tanks
Were #1 in planes
Were #1 in war with #2 for brains
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
I drew a Hitler mustache on the president
Yea! Aint that neat
My brother had a hernia operation last year
And now hes living out on the street
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
The big Number 37
And we want to keep it that way
Be sure to bring the kids
All of the boys and girls
Because the #1 health care system in the world.

We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
We’re Number 37
And we got something to say
We pay more for less
40% in fact
Lets bite some fingers off
Shout at the handicapped
Cause buddy
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA
We’re Number 37
We’re the USA

Will The Real Joe Wilson Please Stand Up?
Here in Washington State…
and for those of you who are not in the know, this is the Washington waaayyyy on the west coast.
I know,
when you say Washington it causes confusion and people think you’re talking about DC.
So let me make this clear so that what you are about to read will make sense.
We’re on the California side of the Country.
Now that we have that established I can go on…
It would appear that not only is our State’s name causing confusion out there in big old world
so is our
Our Joe Wilson is running for Superior Court Judge Position 2
here in Snohomish county in WASHINGTON STATE ( you know, the place where apples and Jimmy Hendrix come from ) and
I guess in the same way there is only one ‘Washington’ that counts, there must only be one ‘real’ Joe Wilson out there.
I’ve made that assumption because Washington State’s Joe Wilson’s Facebook page has been swamped with people who love or hate
Joe Wilson.
The problem is they think they are talking to the
OTHER
Joe Wilson.
I was talking to Washington State Joe Wilson and his wife yesterday and as we talked about his Facebook Page making the evening news I thought:
How the heck do I get on line right now so I can see this train wreck for myself?
I spent the rest of the time gleefully imagining how bad it was going to be and then I started to worry NOTHING could live up to the things I had dreamt up.
I was SO wrong.
I found out that people went to Joe’s page and vomited all over it, not for a minute bothering to look at the Information Box on the left side of the Facebook page.
That’s the box that tells you
WHO IT IS YOU ARE TALKING TO.
My gosh, between nearly being blinded by the hate comments I almost went deaf from all of the flag snapping that was going on.
Still, it was great fun to visit Joe’s Facebook Page and continue to watch the comments come in. I just couldn’t help myself.
It’s like when you drive by a traffic accident and think to yourself
I’m not going to look, I will not look, it’s wrong to look
and then you do.
Sheriff John Lovick and Joe 'From Washington' State Wilson-... that's not...but you KNEW THAT RIGHT?
Here’s the thing- most of the time people don’t pay attention to Judicial races- and they should.
So.
If this ” Joe Wilson Incident ” gets people to look at those races from now on that is not a bad thing.
I just wouldn’t count on it being this much fun.

Letters To A Teabagger Continues-
Dearest Teabaggers
Today while President – born in America so you can go suck his birthcertifate-Obama was discussing Health Care Reform
with
other grownups and sane people in Minnepolis
you guys ran to DC
– while he was out of town-
and waved around signs like this one.
- At least they spelled all the words right- this time
Is this for real?
I heard that while you were in DC you did fun things like walk around looking at horse poop and while doing that you ‘found’ a picture of President- yes he is a black man– Obama under a pile of it.
Then you called your friends over to it and took a picture.
Seriously.
You guys get off on horse poop?
I’ll be darned
I guess you do….
- Teabaggers and Horse Poop.
Still.
There was one picture, one moment that I think really captured what you guys really wanted to tell
President- Lots of White People Voted For Him too so LOL-Obama
and it didn’t have anything to do with Health Care Reform…
did it?
Um..did you leave it back at the trailer park?
I hope you enjoyed your big adventure in
OUR
Nation’s Capital.
Don’t let the door hit you on your butts on the way out
and have a safe trip home.
Love you more than air
can’t breathe without you

With Obstruction In Their Hearts and Minds
The thing to remember about Health Care Reform is that it IS about real people.
So it’s important to listen to real voices
like Ronnie Rays.
Tony worked, the factory floor; it was fifteen years last week
They cut his job on Friday, now he barely makes ends meet.
Now Tony is a sick, sick, man, without a health care plan,
He prays his kids stay healthy, but the stress is killing him.
Little Sammie… what’s his name… in the house across the street,
Has some kind of cancer, and he’s looking pretty weak.
His mommy has insurance, and pays a high, high, price.
But the coverage is limited; they told her so last night.
They say you rate a nation, by the way it treats it folks
Lately, it’s looking pretty sad.
When men, the likes of Tony, and kids like little Sam,
Are destined for an early grave, across this wealthy land.
So, Sammie went to heaven, and the wealthy doctor sighed,
Little Sammie’s mother stood at the door and cried.
The Senators said what a shame, something should be done
Then they took a nice long recess, and made themselves some fun.
Is there any reason to deny these folks the need
To not fear losing homes, and health
All because of greed.
They say they rate a nation, by the way it treats it folks
And sometimes you just have to wonder why
Would a nation, ever be so great
To stand with empty eyes, with obstruction in their hearts, and minds
To let its people die.
