The Unreasonable Man

This guy is funny!  Atheist satire:

22 out of 30 in terms of broadband.

Read the article about the Harvard study here.

Summary: we are utterly being taken for a ride by the Rogers usurers and their Toriberal protectors whose only job it is to protect them.

“The highest prices for the lowest speeds are overwhelmingly offered by firms in the United States and Canada, all of which inhabit markets structured around ‘inter-modal’ [cable versus phone] competition,” the report said.

We are, as I have said many times, being taken for a ride.

We in Canada live in medical paradise. Not like in the USA. Right?

Yeah right. Since I am now self-employed, it is only my Blue Cross insurance that covers medicine. Hundreds of dollars a month - but medicine can be very costly.

And Blue Cross has just - without telling us, that I know of - changed the drugs coverage from “unlimited” to “10,000 per person per year”. So if anyone in my household gets an expensive disease (like cancer, heart disease, MS, Alzheimers, you name it, whose medicine can cost many thousands a month) we’ll be bankrupt.

And that is in worker’s paradise Canada. Not in heartless capitalist America.

How we can pat ourselves on the back for a medical system that treats us like enlisted soldiers, has us waiting for 8 hours on average in emergency, and then bankrupts us if we really get sick, is beyond me!

Not really.

Larry King has Anne Coulter on, as well as a liberal person.

Even the Liberal person is saying it is OK to not shut down Guantanamo in a year, and “it’s complicated”, and “we need to work together”, and so on. Bla bla bla.

Weak. A promise is a promise. Especially about something as horrible as the Guantanamo concentration camp. A disgrace to democracy and a disgrace to civilisation. Up there with My Lai in terms of harm to American prestige and credibility. Yes yes, it has bad people in it. So does every prison, you morons.

And it is NOT OK to be Obama and to break all your promises. I thought it during the campaign and think it now. “Under every stone there lurks a politician”, wrote Aristophanes 2,500 years ago. A big hug to Aristophanes.

And this confirms my decision not to vote during Canada’s last elections. I cannot vote when the choices are the incompetent, the idiot, the God-person and the cynical bastard.

In the USA, Senator McCain would have been a better president, I think. Yes, Obama is international, articulate, intelligent, and so on. But he has so far broken every promise, and that is not OK with me. SNL was right. “The Obama Presidency”, they are calling it already. Right. It has a negative ring.

And for once, so is Anne Coulter, I am horrified to say. I am agreeing with, um, everything she says tonight on Larry King. And that is a first, and a change from “nothing”. But yes, everything she says is right. About the economy of course: a “right” to health care? when you have a “right” to something, it becomes more expensive and less available. While LCD displays and Digital Televisions, which ar enot a “right”, get more available and cheaper. Without the government.

But also about everything else tonight.

The Democrat can only say “I am optimistic about the President and also about the American People”.

Whenever people talk about “The American People” (or “Our Canadian Children”, or various other people) , I want those people sent to Guantanamo.

More UK “no filming allowed” reported on this blog here:

So professional photography is not allowed in London, and the definition is “looks expensive”.

Seems that instead of being reasonable and saying that the definition is “obstructing the pavement”, British authorities have once again taken the nanny-state route. Remind me never to visit the UK. Oh wait, I did not need reminding.

When I saw Richard Dawkins the other day I was briefly reminded of the right kind of Britain (and Briton). But alas, it does not take much to remind me that the wrong kind of Britain far outnumbers the right kind.
