Chief Justice Roberts has ruled for Obama Care and has handed over control to 18% of a once vibrant private economy to the government. There was only 50% of the private economy left for plucking. Now there is only 35% left standing.
The voting public did everything short of insurrection to keep Obama Care from becoming law. Massachusetts even voted into Senator Kennedy's old seat a republican to stop this poorly thought out bill. The Tea Party charged into the 2010 election motivated by this bill and stopping it and Obama by turning control of the house of representatives over to the republicans.
Has the Roberts Supreme Court helped Obama with the ruling or has he placed the last nail into his re-election coffin.
I believe he has made health care the number one issue facing Obama and Romney. Romney has gone on record as opposing it and promises to repeal it as his first act as president. We know where Obama stands.
How will the markets react? Shifting the costs of health care onto the taxpayers from big business should be good for business, but bad for the taxpayer. Trouble is the taxpayer base is shrinking as are the dollars they are willing and able to pitch in for the good of the country.
My question for you to ponder is: If the government goes broke are the people broke, too? And if the people are broke how can the government thrive?
I think it is time for the states to control how their citizenry's taxes are distributed. Taxation should be a local issue and then trickle up to the state and then trickle to the federal government last. It is backwards. It goes to the bottom feeders in the federal government first and trickles down to the subjects who pay. And now we find that Obama's stimulus went to his supporters overwhelmingly and did not find its way to the red states. Good-bye republic.
Time for a change? You bet it is.

Urban Poverty Law Center Welcomes New Advisor: Franklin Bedford Gynengton, III
Great news! The Urban Poverty Law Center has filled one position on its Advisory Board with a retired teacher, drug rep, farmer and sometime political prognosticator, Franklin Bedford Gynengton, III, but his friends call him Franklin Bedford. Formalities in the South are rich and hard to set aside.
Mr. Gynengton, III spent a short bit of time in Chicago where he met Mrs. Gynengton at a Rolling Stones concert. It was love at first sight. He says they were joined at the hips for the first three months of their relationship and have been close ever since.
They have been married for 45 years, 25 of that to each other. They have two children, a cat and a birddog. They like the animals, the children have only been disappointments since their conceptions. Felicise, his wife began vomiting early in pregnancy and has vomited every 28 minutes since. The youngest, Jesse Gynengton, is 18 now and will be attending the University of Tennessee on a tennis scholarship in the fall. Felicises' life revolves around 27 minute intervals of surcease which do not involve vomiting.
Aside from "the problem" as the Gynengtons refer to it their life has been a pleasant one. Money came in from every avenue. Franklin invented a sex toy back in the late 60's which caught on in San Francisco and the money flowing in from his patented invention allowed him to quit teaching high school and take a short tour of the world. He made it as far as Paris, France where he hooked up with a whore named Babbette who had a heroin habit and wicked halitosis from the 20 plus acts of oral sodomy she preformed a day just to support her habit. Babbette did not own a toothbrush when Franklin met her. She was his first love. Before the year was out he had weened Babbette down to just over 10 acts a day and brought health and freshness back to her smile.
Franklin Bedford Gynengton, III did wonders for Babbette, and now he has promised to join our high powered Think Tank and Policy Engineering Center here at the Urban Poverty Law Center. We are grateful to have him.
I gave Franklin his first assignment which was to think out the problems our politicians have every couple of years or so with the debt ceiling. As many of my astute readers know, it was set at just above $16 trillion dollars last summer and we are expected to reach and breach that in October of this year if nothing is done.
This is truly an October No-Suprise.
Mr. Gynengton, III wrestled with the question for almost 15 minutes when he called me back with his solution.
"Jackson, the solution to pollution is dilution. You can add enough water to a turd to clean it up. We live in a fecal veneer!"
I was not sure where Franklin was going with this but I listened.
"Jack, we can all agree that Washington is full of shit, right?"
"Yeah."
"OK, all we have to do to clean the place up is to dilute it with money. Raise the debt ceiling to 1,000 trillion dollars!"
Hum? Raise the debt ceiling to to a level that could not be broached in 10 years even if the democrats controlled all three branches, interesting proposition.
I told Franklin Bedford Gynengton, III we would run his plan up the flagpole and see if anybody salutes.
I think it is brilliant. Next, I plan to ask him how he would balance the budget.

Urban Poverty Law Center: How Obama Lost Re-election
From community organizer to national organized criminal, this is the giant leap our current commander in chief has made in three plus short years. Ignoring voter intimidation in Philadelphia by the New Black Panthers, politicizing the Travon Martin death in Florida, standing with the unwashed masses of the Occupy Movement, and demonizing the Tea Bagging productive class when they protested health care and other higher forms of taxation including high deficits, set his re-election chances back, but the claim of executive privilege over the Eric Holder/Barak Obama Fast and Furious gun running scandal is the white flag to Obama's re-election hopes.
Obama has just become Nixon without the 5 o'clock shadow and the sweaty upper lip. Look for the Obama sycophants of the Washington and New York media to abandon ship. When this happens he better love golf because this will be all that is left for him to do. His vision for America can no longer be enacted.
Perhaps this is the earliest Lame Duck Presidency in history. Even his pals on his side of the isle will shun him.
Pitiful!
Now all we need to knock him out is for the Supremes to overturn his health care masterpiece. If that happens watch for even Bo, his dog, to no longer follow his commands.
Mitt Romney will be the next president of the United States. Perhaps the Mormon prophesy will ring true. I hope for America's sake it is.

Urban Poverty Law Notes On Nihilism By A Narcissistic Numbskull
Do you ever wake up in the morning and ask yourself: "What's the point?"
Everyday of my life is just as perfect as the last. I am approaching 60, I can still get up out of bed and most of my joints do not hurt too much, but for years I have groaned when first the feet hit the floor and I began to ambulate quickly towards that first morning piss.
No hesitation there, the flow is as good as it can be after my accidental crocking when I was only 7 and straddled the bar in a fall from the bike rack rail at the elementary school which I used to walk like a tight wire. I found that day my legs about 6 inches short of no injury.
And now you tell me Rodney King has died, 11 yrs my junior, in his swimming pool doing what he loved, using mind altering substances. He is an American Icon. He
did more to change the culture of police brutality in our country than any other person to date, and for this he deserves the Nobel Prize. Of course the camera operator deserves some credit for that footage filmed all those years ago. We are a better society not because of Rodney King, but in spite of Mr. King.
That film of several white police officers beating a submissive black man caused an entire nation to rethink its morality. Man unleashed from moral foundations is a cruel creature. We only have to go back to WW II to see what sort of monsters we are. Terrorism springs from man's nature. Can we deny nature. Can we make the lion lie down with the sheep, will the wolf learn manners if we wish it?
Man is a part of nature as is the wolf and the lion and sheep. Bottom line: life is a competition. Food and shelter are the prizes and reproduction and propagation is the goal.
So what does it all mean? Life is just a game played out on billions of playing fields. The dog kills the rabbit, the rabbit eats the plants, the tick sucks the dog's blood, the chicken eats the tick, the man eats the chicken and the man feeds the dog.
So life is all about dogs. Is it a coincidence that God is dog spelled backwards?
I may train one of my dogs to walk backwards just to see what happens.

Urban Poverty Law Center Bloviates Upon The Past
I look across the 50 acre field from my front porch to the creek lined by tall trees some half a mile distant and I see a deep green sea of corn plants which are near 7ft tall. Thank you, God, for the rain and what may be a bountiful crop this year. I will do your bidding if there is any extra money.
A few years back I was showing my nephew my collection of World War II items in my gun safe where I have some valuables other than weapons. He spotted my gold coins and asked what they were. I told him they were gold and the value had risen from $325 per ounce when I bought them to over $800 per ounce today.
He mumbled something to the effect of, "They do not seem to be doing anybody any good just sitting there."
Stung by his remark, but not fatally, I went about my wonderful life.
A friend who drives a large truck, which he owns, paid me a visit and told me he was having to pay very high interest to his boss who had loaned him $22,000 to fix his truck when it blew its engine, and had already paid him back $15,000 but still owed him $14,000 to get the debt settled. I took him to the bank, my bank and they did a credit check and he did not qualify for any loans from them. I then thought of the gold in the safe which was not doing anybody any good and I gave enough to him to retire his debt.
When President Obama asks the people with money to spend some of it, I sort of see where he is going with this. The money or gold or what have you on the sidelines is not helping. Help the economy, spend some of that loot you have stored up for a rainy day.
Nobodys ship floats when the economic seas have dried up. You can't buy something that is not there though many people have been duped with stocks and other trading devices, can you say derivatives? FaceBook? Global Crossing? Mercury Finance?
But dreams and hopes live eternally along side human greed and stinginess.
Now if gold would only dip to $1,277 an ounce, I am all in!

Urban Poverty Law Center Teaches And Informs
An emergency physician with whom I am close told me he has seen a woman in the emergency room who lives in a nursing home. She suffers from some of the usual problems our elders who wind up in these holding pens to eternity endure. She has had a debilitating stroke which renders her unable to walk without assistance. She has enough dementia to forget she has a disability that makes it impossible for her to walk. She climbs out of her bed now and falls to the floor. She has been seen twice this past week due to falls.
The rub: the US Department of Health and Human Services has ruled the nursing homes can no longer put up bed rails on such patients as they consider it a form of restraints.
Really, HHS, really?
The inmates have taken over the asylum!
It is just a matter of time until she falls and has a fractured hip or a brain bleed. How do they justify seat belts in cars? How long before carseats for infants and side rails for cribs are outlawed? These are the same people, right?

Urban Poverty Law Center And the Obama-Holder Chicanery
Chicanery: the art of willful political trickery and deception as practiced by schrewd politicos made popular in Chicago, where it was fine tuned and perfected. Hence the root of the word from Chic-ago.
President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder are both carding carrying chicanerist of the highest order. Leaky Loose Lips Obama is the perfect antithesis to Lefty Tight Lips Holder whose ability to keep a secret from congress is fast and furiously becoming legendary in the corridors of Washington, DC. Holder is not going to spill the beans to a bunch of pipsqueaks at a congressional hearing which anyone but the right wing syncophants over at Fox News can see is politically motivated. Just election year jockeying by the parties. Wink wink!
Darryl Issa: "Mr. Holder if you do not meet our demands we will hold you in contempt of congress which means you cannot eat at our cafeteria, or get a $2 haircut at our barber shop, or use our super plush mens room. And it will be a blight and go on your "Permenant Record"!
Mr. Holder: "I am ok with that."
Congress needs to grow a set and have contempt have some real penalties. Right now it carries no weight. An empty threat. The best I can come up with is to end funding for the department until the congressional request is complied with or the AG resigns and is replaced with another one who will comply. Does congress control funding?
They do, but they will not until we the people send more trouble makers there to clean out the rats nest it has become.
I have a headache and need to lie down. I will leave you with only this short brilliant composition.
Look at the high drama of these congressional hearings with a jaundiced eye, I do.
