Same Sex Marriage

I've been married, and I can tell you, it was no great shakes.  The "man" I chose turned out to be a liar and a thief.  Liar in that he cheated with a co-worker, denied it when I asked him outright, then lied in court when we were divorcing.  He is a thief in that when we were a couple I deposited one dollar a day in a savings account for my sons, plus they also deposited half of any Christmas, birthday or gift money they received.  We had decided that they could use the money for college or any kind of trade school they wanted.  If they didn't want to do either of those things, they could have the money when they were 26.  I like to hope that by the time you are 26, you have lost the urge to pee through your money.
Their Father was secretly withdrawing the money, and when we divorced, there was less than twelve hundred dollars left.  What kind of low life, cheating sneaking loser must you be to steal from your own children?  When we have the occasional hearing, he always produces an account with about eleven hundred dollars in it.  The fact that the account is at the same bank that his brother uses, or that the amount appears and disappears in time for our hearings is beside the point.
Just because the Judge hearing the case used to be the attorney of his parents, or that he gave my ex five hundred dollars for his race car are absolutely beside the point.  He told me so.
Now with all the thieving and deceit involved in marriage, why would you want that?  What is wrong with a civil union, anyway?  A marriage involves one man and one woman.  It says so in the Bible, and I tend to believe what it says.  A civil union would allow two people to stand in front of their friends in their nice clothes, repeat some words to each other, and wear rings.  They can refer to each other as partners and they should be happy.
It will keep the sanctity of marriage in tact and slow the downward spiral we are experiencing as a society.  I have friends who are homosexuals and I do not believe that they should be kept from protecting each other.  Of course, this could be done with a will and a little planning, but that does require effort.  As for being able to claim survivor benefits, Social Security will be dead in eight years, anyway, who are we kidding?

How Much Does My Obamacare Waiver Cost?

I am a new small business owner, so I am watching with interest the continuing drama that is B.O.'s socialized medicine.  I see all of the companies that are getting waivers and I am more than curious to see what this is going to cost me.

If I make a huge donation to the DNC can I get a waiver?   How about if I make some other side deal with Mr. Soetoro's "administration"?  I see that many many unions have been given waivers to wait to give up there outstanding coverage.  I see that McDonald's has also been given a get-out-of-socialized-medicine-free-card. If this stuff is so great, don't you think that these companies would be begging to get in to it and not out of it?  And since insurance is a numbers game, in that the more people are in the pool, the less the cost to the company, how much are these "waivers" going to cost me?

It is, after all, our tax money that is being peed away on this socialized medicine experiment.  I would like some answers that are real answers, and not a verbal soft shoe routine.  I have given up on B.O.'s fawning fans (also known as MSM) to ask any of the hard questions that are going to be required.  Thank goodness for the internet (kudos, Mr. Gore) and the information that it reveals.  If I had to count on the printed media, or even CBS, NBC, ABC,CNN, or the seven people who watch MSNBC, I would have no clue what is really happening.

No one is answering these questions for me, so I can only hope that this horrible mistake I have to "pass to see what is in it" can be de-funded in the very near future. Perhaps then they can try some common sense solutions like allowing insurance to be sold across state lines and some serious tort reform.

Why not make the people who bring forth ridiculous suits pay a fine for these gigantic wastes of time?  If people stop treating frivolous lawsuits like scratch off lottery tickets, if attorneys stop treating these ridiculous suits like cash cows, maybe we can make some giant steps forward toward reform.  And it can be done without socializing twenty percent of the economy!

Call or email your elected officials.  Tell them to repeal or defund Obamacare.  You'll thank me later.

I Know How You Can Get a Great Job Today

Sometimes when I need a good laugh, I look up B.O.'s campaign speeches on YouTube.  I know, I know, every speech he gives is a campaign speech since he has been running for office since ACORN gave him the election last time.  Take a minute and find the ones where he talks about this being the most transparent administration, EVER.  I'll wait. Go ahead........
Ok? Are you wiping the tears from your eyes yet?  Me too.  Keep that in mind as you realize that many of the mega donors who gave B.O. the millions he used to get the White House  are now sitting pretty in really sweet jobs that pay very well with stupid great benefits.  How many you ask?  Sit down.
80% of the big donors for B.O. have gotten a sweet gig. Does that seem transparent to you?  Can you see through that?  Me either.
I don't mean to sound unfeeling toward those that are still looking for work 3 years into B.O.'s stewardship of our nation. I recently opened my own business because jobs are not out there.  Not green ones, not good ones, there are no jobs.  One trillion dollars later and there is no shovel, there is no ready, there is only a fourteen trillion dollar deficit.  B.O. needs to go, not soon, but now.
Biden is an idiot, there, I said it.  But B.O. should resign and let a capitalist try it.

7 Whole Permits Issued

I am listening with unbridled joy as the folks with Gulf-Mobil are announcing the largest oil discovery in a very long time.  I hope that B.O. puts his socialistic tendencies aside and is forced to do the right thing for our country for once.  Ask me how many permits B.O. has issued. If you read the title of this blog, you got it right.
Think about that for a second.  A process that once took 30 days-that is getting a permit issued to drill our own oil-now takes over 160 days. B.O. is  helping other countries drill our oil more than he is helping us!  He needs to go, not in 6 years, but in less than two.
Now if you enjoy the idea of six dollar gas, yawn, roll your eyes and keep scanning the internet.  However, if the idea of paying from your orifices makes you cringe, remember this when you start considering where you are going to spend your vote in November 2012.
Think about that number--7-- and remember anyone but B.O.  You'll thank me later

Open Today!!!

It is official! I have now joined the ranks of the small business owner, and I hope that I can live up to the label of being the backbone of this amazing country of ours.  Very Needful Things LLC is now open and operating in Auburn, Indiana.
I have written at some length about the many many many hurdles that are thrown in the path of someone crazy/ determined enough to open their own business.  I think that every state should open a department that has the sole purpose of supporting small businesses.  This department could help create a road map to guide us hardy fools through the labyrinth of hoops and red tape that is necessary to open your doors to the paying public.
On other news, I see that the urine stream media is still trying to sell me on 9.1% unemployment.  As my Father would have said, don't pee on my feet and tell me it is raining.  Everywhere I look, I see someone who is either unemployed or underemployed.  I also see plenty of people who are no longer counted in the unemployed statistic because they have run out of benefits.  That seems to me like not counting a crime that ended in death as a murder, simply because the person did not die straight away.
Barack Hussein Sotero Obama is not the answer.  He is the problem.  Ronald Reagan (one of my heroes) famously asked people if they were better off now than they were four years ago and the only people foolish enough to give Carter their electoral votes lived in Georgia.
November,2012 is right around the corner.  Actively help make sure that B.O. is a one trick pony.  You'll thank me later.
And if you get the chance to stop by my store, make sure and say hello.
