In late December, flatulent ass Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a hospital in Hawaii following severe chest pains. Disregarding all the prayers of the righteous, God did not strike him down in agony. Apparently, they found nothing wrong with him, and now he's fine. Fine enough to spout the following fatuous crap: "Based on what happened here to me, I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American healthcare system. It is working just fine, just dandy."
Wow, really? The system worked for a famous, white, male, multi-millionaire conservative? That's amazing! It must therefore also work for black welfare moms, college students, underemployed single mothers, and minimum wage-earning heads of families! That's logic! QED, bitches, and check mate!
Seriously, why have the people not risen up as one to slay this menace to all that is good and holy?
By the way, anyone remember that around the same time, conservative apologist Kevin Madden went on the airwaves to make himself look ridiculous with this asinine claptrap: "You have to also remember the fact that the president being on vacation in Hawaii, it’s much different than being in Texas. Hawaii to many Americans seems like a foreign place."
Oopsie! It's a state, and apparently even evil lying conservative media whores go there to relax! Not, unfortunately, to die.
I saw a man driving a BMW convertible with a bumper sticker that read: "Don't spread my wealth. Spread my work ethic!" Why, yes, the driver was white, how did you guess? Perhaps it was this tidbit from the Bureau of Labor: "More than half of black males between the ages of 16 and 19 are unemployed. And that's only counting those seeking work. Economists say legions of other young black men — nobody knows how many — have given up looking."
I really wanted to smash his car with a cinderblock and leave it to break down at night in the poorest neighborhood of the city, so all those lazy black men who just aren't working hard enough, darn it, could enjoy the wisdom of his bumper sticker.
Yep, I'm starting the New Year with a lot of Buddhist-like serenity and good karma.

"His work ethic". Gee, I'd love to hire people to do my dirty work, paying them a small fraction of what I earn from their labor.
Oh wait, what's that, he's a lawyer? I'm not sure getting one's soul dirty counts as actual work.
Okay, I dont know what the guy does for a living, but I'm reasonably sure that few people who actually work for a living (as opposed to overseeing the work of others) can even afford a BMW.
