There's a hidden cost savings that would result from universal
health care - i haven't seen this addressed anywhere yet - but I spent a
bunch of money last year trying to defray the medical costs of people I
have never met.
I sent $375 through gofundme to 8 different
friends of friends, or friends of friend's friends who, in desperate
bids to avoid being completely wiped out by an accident or illness,
reached out to the Internet. I read the stories of a woman who lost
everything she owned and half her skin in a fire, and had to donate. The
37 year old father with pancreatic cancer. The 5 year old boy with a
brain tumor. I wasn't required to pay for their healthcare, but once I
read their stories and saw their pictures, once they moved me to tears,
felt compelled to donate. Kind of a heartstrings tax. Golden rule tax.
I could have donated more to each of them and it still wouldn't have
been enough. I could have donated to more of the gofundmes that came
across my screen and it still wouldn't have been enough.
Would I
gladly pay about that same $375/year in taxes every year to ensure
NOBODY in this country goes through that ordeal of begging the internet
for help when they get sick ever again - to ensure EVERYBODY gets health
care? Yes! I believe strongly this is something we should fight for and
not give up until it happens.
Bernie Sanders
is fighting hard for this, whether you support him or not, think about
supporting universal single payer health care, and pressuring your
representatives to do the same.
Behold a fiddling skipping angel next to jumbo roses:
Is she saying stop? Kneeling? Missing another half to play pattycake? I hope?

Last but not least, Coach K of Duke had a couple of atrocious tantrums Monday night after losing his 3rd game in a row. About the play below he stated" "It was an amazing ending. Amazing. Go see it, it's literally amazing. It's amazing basketball, let's put it that way. We put ourselves in a position to win. Matt [Jones, #13] made a great play and he
wasn't rewarded. He made a great play, and it's amazing. It's literally
amazing. God bless America."
Pay close attention to Matt Jones #13 from Duke:
The great play he wasn't rewarded for - was a flop. He flings his hands over his head to fake a foul. Instead of going for the ball he flings his hands backwards. He wasn't rewarded. God bless America.
Hello Max Webster and his Live Magnetic Air Mullets.
This is why you can't walk a dog in the rain.
His fur will melt off, becoming one with your jacket.
This is some good assvice right here.
Last but not least, I am taking this WTFW to announce my endorsement of Bernie Sanders for President 2016. I realize I am trying to sell t-shirts here and my political views may offend others who will in turn not want to buy my t-shirts, but really, fuck this shit - I believe all Americans should have health care, sue me.
I think Bernie is honest, and I strongly agree with basically every single word that comes out of his mouth. The notion that he might take Elizabeth Warren as a running mate has me positively giddy. I imagine 4 years of Sanders/Warren, and then another 8 with her at the helm and I think we could reverse climate change in 12 years. We could have light rail, solar highways, and wind farms in 12 years. We could reduce the wage gap and get real about stopping racism. We could usher in a new era of Pax Americana. Imagine - peace. Imagine?
I found this t-shirt at goodwill on New Years Eve - my dream ticket is right!

Let's start with an overtly racist souvenir - A Redneck's Shot Glass.
Two shots for yankees, three shots for NRA members, four shots for Good Ol Boys, and five shots for Rednecks. Okay, Savannah, Georgia, settle down, that's enough outta you.
Best choice for you.
