Confusion In Healthcare And A Four Hour Election
Wow – there sure is a lot of confusion in healthcare and government these days. It’s hard to know what’s going on.
And those Viagra commercials just add to the whole thing with their dire warnings about using their product… although I had a buddy of mine tell me over the phone the other day that if he had a four hour “election” he’d be so happy he’d post a picture on Facebook about it. But he suddenly took that statement back… don’t know why exactly, if it was “too much information” or the fact that he noticed an NSA drone circling over his house shortly after the phone call.
Anyhow, I guess the country will get it all sorted out in the end (chuckle). For some reason I keep thinking about Winston Churchill’s line when he said “You can always count on America to do the right thing… after they had tried everything else.”
Have a nice day – J. Daniel

WoodChips Appear In A National Publication
Recently we were pleased when a WoodChips cartoon was published in The Reason Report, a national publication. Reason was doing a series of articles on the TSA and felt the cartoon fit the theme of the series.
You remember the TSA, yes… those friendly folks at the airport that do a free frisk and scan for you .
For those of you that feel the country is going a bit out of control, or heck, totally off the rails (chuckle) and would like to try a more rational, thought-out, dare I say reasonable view of news and opinion, you might want to check them out at their main site www.reason.org.
On the other hand, if you think things in the country are going along just swimmingly, well, no matter, just go back to your Reality TV show, Flintstones cartoons, or whatever your news source of choice is, and hey, grab another brew (chuckle).
And have a nice day – J. Daniel
