Sad she’s taking political lickin’,
Is there anyone out there more frickin’…
Insane than Sue Lowden,
Who should stop her shoutin‘,
‘Bout paying for healthcare with chicken!?!

Finger-Licking Good!
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010They’re Not Well…
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010Was it merely to improve their finance or,
Does Wellpoint owe us all an answer,
For seeking out patients,
Then losing their patience,
And dropping women with breast cancer?
Contra-banned
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010“Tucked into the health reform legislation is a controversial provision allowing states to expand coverage for family planning services under Medicaid without a waiver from the federal government… ‘How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives? How does that stimulate the economy?’ House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said of the provision, according to Reuters.”
Well, it’ll stimulate SOMETHING, Mr. Boner.
The G.O.P. labels extortion,
Completely way out of proportion,
Showing that they’re incensed,
And also against,
All female sex – not just abortion!
Take it on the Chin!
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that if Republicans gain seats in Congress this fall, opponents of the new health-reform law might be able to repeal parts of it even if the GOP lacks a majority.
But he acknowledged there is “probably not” a chance of repealing the full measure while President Barack Obama is in office.
Much to the Republicans’ chagrin,
Health care reform they find they can’t spin,
Or even repeal,
So how does it feel,
When reality finally sets in?
Home Grown
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Amidst reports of violence and vandalism against Democratic congressmen that voted for Health Care Reform, I composed this little ditty. You do know what to call people that try to incite fear and attack political leaders, don’t you? You do know what liberal citizens would be called if they were the perpetrators?
Now daily in Washington there’re fists,
As Repubs set out to cause errors, twists…
In Health legislation.
Regarding our nation,
Does that make them better than terrorists?
Time-Out
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010After months of “yes,” “no,” “buts” and “maybes,”
And finding no way to allay pleas,
Health Care Reform passed,
Repubs finish last,
And now they are acting like babies.
Absent-Minded
Saturday, March 20th, 2010There is a whole host of Republican ideas in the health care bill. Why won’t a single Republican vote for it?
The Democrats did try to listen,
To make their health care reform glisten,
But the entire time,
Encountered the crime,
Of GOP common sense missin’.
Frum and Frummer
Thursday, March 18th, 2010UPDATE: Even more wisdom from Frum here. Who knew there were still smart Republicans? I sure didn’t.
Analysis from David Frum,
(Who I’ve frequently considered scum),
Says Republicans missed,
Their chance to assist…
On Healthcare, now isn’t that dumb!
Strong Packaging
Friday, March 12th, 2010Amidst the legislative wreckage,
A new thought begins to gain trackage,
True to their form,
Repubs won’t pass reform,
Since they’re ‘fraid of our President’s Package.
Swayed
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010The lack of a public option in the President’s bill severely disappointed me, but I’ve been brought round to a strong supporter of the President’s plan by something I read today…
Despite Obama’s good report,
Health Care Reform I did not support,
Til I heard Limbaugh say,
He would “move far away!”
My support now provides him escort!
Big Sausage
Monday, March 8th, 2010What could be more bizarre than the recent behavior of retiring Representative Eric Massa, charged of sexually harassing an aide at a New Year’s Eve party, resigning (but *not* for *that*), then claiming it was all a set-up because he is the deciding vote on health care reform… then finding a fan in Glenn Beck? What a… sausage. Still, in some cases, he might be right.
A Congressman named Eric Massa,
Lost more than a small bit of class-a:
Turning ethics to dust,
Is healthcare now bust?
Among Dems there’s no bigger kielbasa!
Chief Sales
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Our Prez seems to know well what ails man,
But in attacking the issue he tails an…
To avoid a flub-trick,
He must become an über salesman.
Cost of Living
Thursday, March 4th, 2010It’s become a too-common occurrence,
When shopping for new health insurance,
The pro-rated cost,
When seeing what’s lost,
Is just one among many deterrents!
Stuffed
Thursday, May 20th, 2010If there is a lone defining theme,
Of the Democrats’ bill-passing stream,
From Healthcare to Finance,
It’s more than just slim chance,
They pass over pie for the cream!
Meaning they don’t pass anything really meaningful… Mandated health insurance without an affordable public option… Financial Reform without the Volcker Amendment… How do we get corporate influence out of government?
