Deadbeat Snake-Oil Salesmen Still Destroying the State of Illinois

The last couple of years I occasionally posted about how I noticed some area medical establishments were no longer accepting Medicaid due to the State of Illinois‘ poor track record in paying those in the medical industry. Recently I was at a local medical establishment and I noticed that they had a sign up that stated – due to the State of Illinois slow payment system as well as their often denial of claims, any  employee of the State, using the State of Illinois CIGNA plan, must pay for all services before treatment, then personally file any claims with Illinois/CIGNA services.  Ouch! Illinois strikes again! And yet the voters continue to keep voting in these same Snake-oil Salesmen whom fleece the electorate over and over again. Stupid is as stupid does and there is a lot of stupid going on in the deadbeat Illinois government. And the silence from the watchdogs supposedly protecting the state and the nation (the media) is deafening.

Hey Buddy Can You Spare a Dime

Illinois State Penitentiary (Photo credit: Tom Gill (lapstrake))

Statesman taxing States into bankruptcy. As usual our fearless feckless foppish-wannabe leaders from Illinois are right in the thick of clueless activity.  Perhaps Illinois lawmakers could add street minstrels to their job titles. Then they could go out on the street and sing -” Hey Buddy,  can you spare a dime?”

Shhh! It’s a Big secret –>Free Blago Update! Is there any wonder this State is known for political corruption!

The Story of ‘ISM

Barack Obama equal George Bush Jr. in ‘roid Rage

Christmas is just around the corner and the ACLU has helped the Bush Deranged Obama worshipers unwrap a Christmas present from Team Obama. Obama, the Presidential candidate that has continually promised an open book Presidential White House  – in a declaration that was supposed to invent Obama as the ANTI-George W. Bush/Dick Cheney Presidential Option- also promised “No warrantless wiretaps if you elect me”. The Obama speech was nostalgic  of George “The First” Bush and his “thousand points of light”:

“My job this morning is to be so persuasive…that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack,” he told a crowd of about 300 Ivy Leaguers–and, by the looks of it, a handful of locals who managed to gain access to what was supposed to be a students-only event.

For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and “wiretaps without warrants,”…

The facts are no matter whether you like Obama Politics (I don’t) or you think he is a False Prophet (my personal favorite) falling slightly below Oriental Rat Fleas on the political value scales of Honesty, Hope and Change: a recent ACLU Report that acknowledges that under Team Obama warrantless wire taps have actually surged. Oops!   Let us consider the Obama tenure.  Obfuscation instead of open book leadership. Turning over Party policy and leadership to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi creating a hard-left bookend assuring political stalemate upon political issues – instead of his promise to reach across the party aisles to heal the nation. Increased to the point of quadrupled,  warrantless wire taps. Obfuscation of Military operations. Similar Bush Policies on the two wars in the Middle East. Similar Bush Policy concerning the harboring  of Guantanamo Prisoners. Increased involvement of military and political interference with Middle eastern nations. Increased use of unsolicited military force  encroaching inside foreign nations borders. Impulse driven Drone Strikes on citizens and foreign nationals sans judicial arbitration. On and on and on…..

Translation for the Bush Deranged: Barack Obama equals: Not the Anti-George Bush President. No Hope, No Change just more of the same old Washington DC Political Mayhem and leadership.  In all actuality Barack Obama leadership would be equal to George Bush in ‘roid rage. But then what did you really expect from a President versed in unscrupulousness of Chicago and Illinois politics! Our Illinois political leaders are at the top or near the top when it comes to political duplicity.

Big Government Less Trustworthy than the Mafia

I have stated it all my life. I reiterated similar judgments when so many were eager to trust Obamacare – especially those wanting to turn our complete heathcare system into government operated system. You Can’t Trust the Government – especially, when it comes to  your livelihood or medical decisions. The Government will make you all kinds of promises when they want to strike a deal. They will paint you a fantasy world where you will live in a Big Rock Candy Mountain Paradise.  Then when it suits the Governments whim, as in one of the original verses of the Big Rock Candy Mountain song, they will  bend you over and bugger you sore like a hobo’s whore. And though the government is a frequent flyer when it comes to bending over private citizens and corporations – people seem to have to re-learn that sad fact about government the hard-way. A very recent case involves people trying to “save” their land and business from the developers. So they got in bed with the government.  In what was supposed to be a hand-in-hand romance with the government - the owners and workers of a 100 year-old oyster company are now facing extinction as a business, from the very government that had cuddled them and offered to protect them. The company -Drake Bay Oyster Company- would have been safer turning their land, business and family futures over to the Mafia.

Treasure Hunts Gone Mad

There are many reasons I don’t go out early to Christmas shop on Black Friday, in search of shopping treasures. But perhaps the biggest is that some people go mad and seem to lose their minds. They turn savage in their treasure hunts and ruin what should be a pleasing experience for everyone else. The following link and videos of Black Friday WalMart shoppers display the madness better than words can describe.

Hostess Bakers Offer Up a Holiday Themed Bronx Cheer

According to a Reuters article; striking Hostess bakers would rather lose their jobs than take pay-cuts. It looks like they got their wish as Hostess has been given the go ahead to begin liquidating its assets. Around 18,000 workers will be affected by the Bakers Union’s decision not to settle the strike.The Bakers Union has offered up a holiday themed Bronx Cheer to the Hostess Company as well as to its fellow workers instead of a Happy Thanksgiving. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Stupid is as Stupid does. 18,000 workers will all soon be out looking for work in an already harsh economy. The Hostess Co. will sell off its profitable assets. Some product lines of the company will disappear into the annals of history. Some product lines will be absorbed by other companies. Perhaps some of the products will continue to be manufactured here in the US; those that do will probably be produced by less expensive manufacturing methods or less costly labor forces.  Best case scenario for the workers is they get rehired by the new owners losing the gravy train pension setup they had with the Hostess Co.  But in this weakened economy, most of the displaced workers will probably be  forced to take lesser jobs in labor fields they are unfamiliar with at lower starting pay and benefits than they are used to living from. It was a lose-lose event for everybody involved.
