I'm sure I've told you that in my misspent youth I was a republican. i
don't think that I was too crazy about Tricky Dick, who was? Nobody
liked the guy but he kept on getting elected. But when Kennedy was
nominated it seemed like every Catholic in Gage Park High was for him,
that didn't seem quite right to me so I backed Tricky Dick. Thankfully i
was too young to vote so I don't have that memory keeping me awake at
night.
The votes from blacks who vote for Obama because he is black probably
match the votes of white people who vote against him because he is
black. Black racism is kind of diffuse though. I think that if
somebody in a black crowd muttered "Fuck a bunch of white people," there
would be a lot of nods, but they don't have armed organizations like
the kkk and the neonazis and those identity groups.
Sometimes I will copy something and by the time I navigate to where I
want to paste it that little box doesn't offer me that option. If I do
it again it usually works, maybe I didn't do it right the first time,
and maybe it got lost in cyberspace, who knows? In cyberspace sometimes
things work and sometimes they don't and we just get used to it.
I don't get that $35 option in your pre no fault insurance. If the
state could track the guy down why didn't they just make him pay the
insurance? If they couldn't track the guy down then why would he even
pay the $35? The way I remember liability was that if you smashed some
guys Caddy your insurance would pay for his damage, but not yours. It
was cheaper, but if you hit a tree you got nothing, on the other hand if
your car wasn't worth much you were better off saving money on your
insurance. When I was young I couldn't wait to have a car, but after a
few years of beaters and nothing but trouble as far as repairs and
insurance and gas, i was glad to chuck the whole thing. It's been
forty-five years since I've owned a car and I haven't missed it a
second.
The old Cook County hospital is still standing, it was a handsome
building in its time and they are trying to find a use for it. Before
it was abandoned they built a new one.
Do we have to go over this again? When Obama was doing Obamacare he
wanted single payer which would have paved the way to the socialized
medicine which seems to be what you crave, but maybe not under that
name. But your republicans, the guys you turn out to vote for every
election, but refuse to accept responsibility for things that they do
that you don't care for, would never let that happen. So Obama had to
cut that deal with the insurance companies to get a system which is not
that hot, but still better than what we had before because unemployed
and people with pre-existing conditions can now get insurance, and money
is being saved. So anyway I don't think you can blame Obama for faults
in his program which are only there because the people you voted for
obstructed him from getting a better plan.
No more debates but last night CNN had a town hall. I dropped in a bit
between Modern Family reruns and saw Lyin' Ted who somehow manages to
make evil boring. When Trump was on of course he had my undivided
attention. You never know what he is going to say and things just spin
around and around and i am memorized. The arguments about the wives,
you know neither of them really want to talk about it, but the other guy
started it so they both go on and on. I didn't stick around for Uncle
Johnny Kasich because I can only take so much Ohio, Ohio, Ohio.
The upshot was that neither of them will support the other if they
lose. We dems throughout the nation smiled smugly, turned off the tube
and went to bed for the sleep of the just.
