There shall be no charity other than gubmint charity

I have been a supporter of St. Jude's Children's Hospital for several decades now. I also donate to the Shriner's Hospital and a couple of others. Kids have a special place in my heart; and anything I can do to help those who have devoted their lives to helping kids, I'll do gladly. Now, thanks to ObamaCare, charitable hospitals will have to jump through extraordinarily small hoops in order to keep their non-profit status. If they lose that status and are deemed "for profit", they face huge tax burdens and fines, reducing the revenue that could go to treating patients. Less revenue for treating patients means fewer patients get treated (rationing, anyone?), but the tax money collected would go to "insure" more uninsured (illegals, anyone?).

So the Obamabots are claiming a balanced "win" with this provision. As Harry Reid once claimed, "Why should we care about one kid with cancer?" Socialist scum-sucking douchecanoes.

True, but....

 

I fall somewhere in the happy middle. If I read a paper, it will actually be paper because I refuse to pay for internet access on my phone. But I do have a Kindle, even though I'm still madly in love with books. The weight of the tome in my hands, the smell of the paper and ink, the feel of actually TURNING the page...

 

Was sitting in Eyemart Express waiting for my glasses to get fixed when an elderly man, probably Poppy's age (not that Poppy is elderly, mind you, I'm soooo going to pay for that), sat down next to me and pulled out his phone and started texting. Thumbs flying like a 14-year-old girl, very impressive.  He put his phone away after a while and we started chatting about the weather, crazy Texas weather: 72 yesterday, 32 and rainy today, high 50s tomorrow. His phone signaled another text, he excused himself and checked it. After returning the text, he apologized again and said something I hadn't thought of before. His wife, very hard of hearing, communicates better and more confidently through texting than she does talking on the phone. He said a lot of their friends and family have taken to texting as a more convenient means of communicating than calling where they'd have to repeat themselves over and over. We started talking technology, I told him about Baby Queen's iPad with the Autism app that allows her to communicate, and he told me his brother used a similar App after a stroke left him unable to talk.

 

About this time, my glasses were done; I said goodbye to my new friend and left with a greater appreciation of technology. But I still believe there is nothing better than a good book and face to face conversation with good people.

And she loved every minute of it.

Check out the dates on the headstone. The good old days when spanking was acceptable. Reminds me of John Wayne chasing Maureen O'Hara through the streets in "McLintock!" culminating in a little public spanking. Who knew the Duke was kinky?

Not all LEO are thugs and bullies

Sometimes, they're just lazy, thieving bastards.

A San Francisco police officer was charged with theft of public money after officials said he spent his days at home when he should have been walking a beat.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports undercover officers watched 52-year-old Ronald Gehrke go home repeatedly over a period of months while he was on duty.
