We got a “survey” in the mail yesterday about “Obamacare.” Actually, my wife did, but she said I could fill it out. As expected, it turned out to be some kind of anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood propaganda from some chick named Judie Brown (who I think used to be an MTV VJ or something) demanding money. Fortunately, Judie (who I feel compelled to mention appears to be a woman – just sayin’) included a SASE, so I was able to thank her for bringing this to our attention, and tell her that I would be making contributions to both NARAL and Planned Parenthood (which, I assured her, I would never had done had her kind mailing not motivated me), and would work diligently to expand “Obamacare” until it included government single payer healthcare for all – including health care for women that included respect for their reproductive rights. I also thanked her for her letter, which helps to put things in perspective for me. <\/p>\n
As disenchanted as I am with President Obama, I explained, being reminded that there are batshit crazy mouth-breathing morons like her (and, most especially, anyone who give the likes of her their hard-earned money while wailing about “big government” running their lives and taking away their personal freedoms) out there makes me realize that even a spineless, DINO Republican-lite is way better. Hopefully that’ll be cool with her, and I eagerly await her reply. Hopefully it will come with another SASE, as I would love to help her group utilize at least a small part of its financial resources. Since the “survey” assured me that my response would be provided to Congress, I look forward to having my voice heard. <\/p>\n
I then made a request of her, asking if it’d be OK to use her group’s mail permit number, so that I could spread the word far and wide. I even promised to present her point of view honestly <\/p>\n
Happy Birthday to Violet, who is 4 years old today – thanks to the fact that there was no Obamacare 4 years ago, I guess. And hopefully she’ll be able to live a long, healthy life – assuming that people like Judie Brown never get their hands on her right to health care and privacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
