I do not like it here or there. I do not like Obamacare.

Ted Cruz was doing the whole filibuster thing about Obamacare or something. A lot of pundits were saying it was doomed to failure, but they're pundits. Pundits don't know jack. Unless Frank J. is a pundit. Then forget what I just said.

I think the filibuster is great. First, there's the whole reading Dr. Seuss thing. And Dr. Seuss has written more smarter, insightfuller things than most Senators have ever written. So, it ups the level of the Senate.

It also lets you see who else is willing to go along and try to ... well, do whatever he's doing; stop Obamacare, I think.

But, I wondered what else should Senator Cruz, or anyone trying to filibuster this, read aloud on the Senate floor. I thought actually reading the Obamacare law would be a good idea. But, I don't know if one man could do all that.

What do you think would something good to read to help stop Obamacare (or whatever it is Cruz is doing)?

    The part of the dictionary where "insurance" is defined. (Especially noting that it says nothing about covering pre-existing conditions.)

  13. #3 - Harvey,

    That speech is my favorite part of the book; especially this part -

    "Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion–when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing–when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors–when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you–when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice–you may know that your society is doomed."



    Yep. I reckon we're Doomed.

    dang it!
