Meanwhile, up there in the Swiss Alps, someone has started an anti-PPT party. Nothing new, I read over forty years ago that Andorra outlawed carbon paper. Of course, that was just before Xerox made the stuff obsolete.

It's really not over until the Tuesday after the first Monday in November 2012. If someone had said "McCain" in 2007, my response would have been "Get real!" because of a couple McCain--- bills especially McCain-Feingold. Mitt Romney is in that category now, at least with me, because of his proven anti-gun owner record. Remember, he had capped his own term to just one in Massachusetts, so he had no reelection prospects to cover and he then signs a firearms restriction as bad or worse than the 1994 Feinstein "Assault Weapon" ban or the more evil California SB-22 Law which banned whole ranges of weapons. The curious thing for me is that lots of people have amnesia about this part of his record. So, the eventual winners may not even be on...

I've seen all three sides and going for number four (Part C with Humana). I recall my parents and grandparents paying cash for service. Anybody remember what a "House Call" was?

Then, it was military "medicine" as a dependent, active duty, and retiree up to age 65. That's all "single payer" and one has to play by their rules, or else. If THEY say you don't need it, you don't get it. Also, if they say you have to have it, you get it, like Anthrax shots.

Japanese have "public option", but most people avoid it and pay cash. Been there and it solved problems with military medicine. They still have a choice; with Obamacare, we won't.

The entire Utah delegation voted against this monstrosity including the lone Democrat, Jim Matheson. Predictably, the local lame stream media, the Ogden Standard Examiner published an editorial and cartoon suggesting the man had ulterior motives. In fact, he was following his previous votes against Obamacare and thousands of calls and letters opposing the bill.

There is another group that may be excluded from high office. Some of us are built along Neanderthal lines which also means we don't fit the popular mold. How to find out if that is you: If you buy shirts by neck size and torso length but then have to take four inches off the sleeves and take in the waist, you may be part of the "tribe". If this is you, your BMI is also off to the right and the Air Force will put you on the weight control program also known as "fat boy" even though you can't float on water for beans. Run for President? Fahghetaboutit.

While I was going to A&P school days and working swings, Rush was covering the Willie Horton thing. For about a month, I thought Wille was a skinny white human shred of debris. I finally saw a picture of him that really didn't change much except for his light brown mottled complexion; as Martin Luther King put it, character, not color counts and that dirt bag was clearly lacking character.

Those famous last words came from those who negotiated with Adolf Hitler. The bankers were among the first. They escaped from Nuremberg with the skin of their teeth on a split decision. The Russians wanted to hang them. Next, came the Industrialists and the Military High Command: A lot of the survivors were sentenced at Nuremberg. Then, it was Chamberlain's turn: We all paid a horrific price for that. As Yogi Berra put it: Deja Vu all over again.
