Like Paul, I also joined the reserves (in 1965) to avoid being drafted because I was failing at UCLA. 6 months training then weekend warrior status for three years. Then, to help HH, LBJ called 120,000 of us up for further active duty. I was lucky to wind up at headquarters, Berlin for the next 18 months- good duty and I’m glad for it. All up, 6 years in the Army.
George, an ROTC guy, also, no doubt, spent 6 years in service. No one should ever join the reserve thinking it’s a way out of serving! Sometimes, it’s about timing your service. I think mandatory service for all males would be a very good idea- see Switzerland and Israel- it does a lot to increase one’s sense of responsibility.LikeLike

Todd, it would increase your communication skills immeasurably if you would stop ending every post with “too funny;” sounds too much like a ‘valley girl.’ it’s not funny and makes you look like an illiterate.

Good morning readers. Looks like Gruber is being thrown under the bus. Don’t know why. He seems like a candid fellow with a lot of smarts. Nancy says he did not write the bill. The White House (La Casa de Blanco) says he did not craft the bill. All say he did not work for them. Well, he may have not been on anyone’s payroll, but he sure got paid a heck of a lot of pesos for hanging around in those smoke filled rooms.

Yes Barry this confuses many people.
But I can assure you that there are working journalists who actually pursue stories of import to the public at large and who don’t call themselves “editor” and refer to themselves with the royal “we” while using their hobbyist website to snipe at their neighbors and link to the work of others while simultaneously whining that people are being mean to them and are really just cruel poopyheads!

Former Democratic Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused quite the scene at the 40th anniversary gala of the Massachusetts Humanities Council, when he started screaming at a fellow politician, according to the Boston Herald’s Gayle Fee.
Frank was seated next to incoming Democratic majority leader of the Massachusetts Senate Stanley Rosenberg. Rosenberg was also the man in charge of Massachusetts redistricting following the 2010 census, redistricting that made Frank’s district more conservative and saw him resign rather than fight a tough reelection fight.

Finally, Grueber has a defender. Grueber should be applauded for telling the truth. he dares said what no political had the guts or arrogance to say.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/curtis-houck/2014/11/12/nyt-writer-defends-gruber-msnbc-voter-expectations-health-care-are
Of course the NYT is not always a reliable source and can’t always be trusted. With that said, I am glad the MIT economics professor was an ally
Grueber’s economic modeling of health care public policy is accurate. I will give him that. I ain’t no MIT expert, but you would have to be dumber than the Democrat Party to say cover all pre-existing medical conditions for the uninsured, add millions to the rolls and cover 3/4 of their premiums and still think that you can keep your doctor/health plan and it will save money, reduce the deficit, and be affordable. You can’t make this stuff up. Wait until 2018 and we will all see how affordable this is, lol. Yikes! Lol.
I feel rather Jolly this fine morning. Lol. Life has never been better, lol.LikeLike
-
Oppps. It’s Gruber, not Grueeeeeber. My mistake.
Since the MIT’s health care economic impact modeling has proven accurate and precise with the vast number of complexities, instead of throwing him under the bus, we should hire him. hire him? Yes, hire him.
We could use Gruber and his public policy modeling to look at the immigration changes Obama will pen and have the Gruber model applied to find out the true costs, if any, to the dumb Americans and all impacts on the economy and state governments. Just consider it. Money well worth spent if you ask me. Think how a small number of trimimgrates have strained our social service safety nets even though they make 20 bucks an hour cash. We need Gruber now more than ever.LikeLike

TRANSFORMATION OF CRANKY CRITIC STARTLES FOOTHILLS RESIDENTS
Pelline was reportedly injured at his Lake Tahoe retreat when a bear tried to wrestle a 15-pound ham from the pharaoh of the foothills. The bear ended the struggle by slamming Pelline against a pile of old copies of Sierra FoodWineArt being saved for kindling this winter…..
Interesting.
Unfortunately though the whole premise is crap! In order for comedy to “work” there needs to be basis in fact upon which one can initiate a chain of absurdity.
