One might think that Dr. Seuss might deserve a bit of respect and praise.  The Dr. Seuss books are one of the primary tools used to educate and entertain children.  They should be required reading for police cadets.

Anyway, this is the 50th Anniversary for "The Cat In The Hat"… so how do they honor this occassion?  By having boycotts and protests over the Dr. Seuss books.  Apparently they are racist.  The moonbats complain about the stereotypes.  Hmm.. lets see now.. a cartoon.  Just what IS a cartoon?  A cartoon is just a few curved lines on a page depicting caricatures / stereotypes.

How do you depict a chinese man, black man, business man, arabic man, american indian in a cartoon WITHOUT being stereotypical?

This has the ultimate result of all asians, blacks, american indians, etc. being erased from history.

A moonbat library would contain no works from Disney, Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss, etc.  I suppose they would also object to Peanuts for depicting teachers as nothing but disembodied voices saying  "mwaahh, mwhaaah waaa waa waaahhhhh"..

One more thing to add.. Bill and Hillary don't even live in the same house.  They live in two different houses next door to each other.  That is pretty close.  Try and find Barack and Michael Obama in the same COUNTRY at the same time.

Come on.. rumours!

Not rumors…

Some moonbat at NBC claimed that Secretary of State Tillerson called Trump a "moron".  It's fascinating that only this NBC reporter knows about this.  Assuming that Tillerson did say that, how would the NBC reporter know?  
hmm..

Anyway.. CNN then has a bold headline stating that Tillerson called Trump a Moron.. but when you go to the article, it says this "Rex Tillerson kind of, sort of just admitted he called Trump a 'moron' "

Can you imagine Walter Cronkite saying something like that in one of his news reports?    Something like this maybe.. "This is Walter Cronkite reporting..  we have reports of gunshots ringing out in the motorcade of president Kennedy and we are kind of, sort of confirming that he is dead.. maybe.."

Talk about someone covering their ass!

Tillerson praised Trump's foreign policy agenda, saying he was part of a team to "make America great again." But he did not deny calling the president a "moron," declining to address that remark directly and saying, "I'm not going to deal with petty stuff like that."

One cannot allow themselves to be baited by the media.

They asked him specifically if he called Trump and moron and he declined to answer, and gave a reason for not answering.  
Consider if they said "Did you call the president an asshole?"  "Did you call the president a cannibalistic pedophile?"   'Did you say that Trump runs around the Rose Garden wearing pink panties and a bra?"  
In other words, their question did not dignify a response.

Slimey Sinus vowed to leave the USA if Trump was elected.. yet she is still here!

Why?

I wish you wouldn't create these kinds of monikers for people. I have trouble understanding who you're talking about half the time. Since it's a global audience here, I can't imagine people get it.

Trump said he'd show his tax returns, Miley said she'd leave. Perhaps everyone should do as they say.

Trump said he would show his tax returns once the audits were complete.

@raphjd:

Let's not forget that Trump's tax return(s) was "leaked" a while back.    I remember Rachel Maddox doing a show on it.

Yeah.. Rachel Madcow had a special reminiscent of Geraldo Riviera's "Al Capone's Secret Vault"

Then there is the issue of the Gold Rush of the mid to late 1800's and the Civil War morphing into the wiping out of the American Indians in the late 1800's.  The 100's of various nomadic indian tribes were constantly at war with each other, so that was inevitable.  Ironcially, it was not even battles that wiped out the indians… it was booze and disease.  That goes back to the abortion issue.. in that nobody gets wiped out unless the children and babies are wiped out.  Hillary Clinton's mentor Margaret Sanger who advocated abortions and even said that "Black people are like weeds!"   http://www.weeklystandard.com/sec.-clinton-stands-by-her-praise-of-eugenicist-margaret-sanger/article/28444

Whoa, whoa, whoa there, partner. Like Rick & Morty, you've just crossed through several different realities in a single paragraph.

Civil War being unconstitutional –> agreeing or disagreeing, I'm not sure --> Gold Rush and Civil War wipe out the Indians --> abortion --> Hilary --> Margrett Sanger.

I'm grazing the surface of memory here but I believe you may be conflating the special clause granted to Texas, then an independent country, in joining the US with the interpretation that the Declaration of Independence guarantees a state the right to revolution ("it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"). That's what started the Civil War.

I'm actually anti-abortion now. I've changed my mind. Banning abortion will ensure that millions of new Democrats are born each year. The Republican party will cease to exist in 25 years or so.

Hmm.. you just gave republicans a great reason to be pro-choice!

Exactly because Conservatives don't care about the fetus.  They care about controlling womens bodies.  That is the only reason we are still having this conversation.

If men didn't need women to pro-create they would have wiped them off the face of the earth thousands of years ago.

Nonsense!  Who would clean the toilets, make the sandwiches, and knit the sweaters?    Women were necessary up until the age of factory automation  powertools, and household appliances.  Before plumbing, women were needed to haul water from the wells.

To a point I agree with you: That's life. If the life choices you've made lead to a place where you're grossly obese and you're heart can't take the strain, or you have type two diabetes, etc. When someone is born with a birth defect that in previous times would have meant they die, or that life would only be physical suffering then I understand your sentiment, that's life.

But in today's America and Europe it's still possible to get the common cold and die.

There's that famous footage from Michael Moore's documentary, Sicko, where a man had to choose between one of two fingers after an accident because of the cost.

This is a philosophical topic otherwise it becomes a long branching road that leads to Sarah Palin's death panels.

There is a mystery about fat / obesity.  Some people eat like pigs.. and are quite thin, while other people eat like pigs and are 600 pounds of unidentifiable flesh.  I don't eat much.. and don't eat junk food or candy.. and eat healthy stuff.  I don't have any external flab.  My blood work is perfect.  My heart is perfect.  I'm surprisingly strong considering I don't work out at all (a tall, very butch neighbor found that out the hard way last month).  However, I have what is called "visceral" abdominal / internal fat that I can't get rid of.  It's a genetic thing from my Norwegian ancestry.  In Norway, there were many famines.  People without stores of body fat did not survive the famines.  Those built like Hagar The Horrible did survive.  I think it is related to having a slow metabolism.  My family members typically live into their 90's unless they were severe alcoholics and smoked all day long.

Decades ago, there was a cocktail medication known as "PhenFen" which effectively caused people to lose weight.. but like always.. some people took WAY more of the medication than they were supposed to and died of heart attacks, so that combination of medications is no longer available for weight loss.

Meanwhile, last night on Falloon's show, Hillary tried to explain what happened… not explain the Vegas massacre, but explain why she lost the 2016 election!  Give it a rest you miserable bitch!

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/10/05/clinton-tries-to-tell-jimmy-fallon-what-happened.html

Why does she stil care anyway?

.

A sane person accepts reality and is able to go on after a disappointment.  Hillary is insane, and has been schizophrenic for decades.  It is impossible for her to accept the fact that not only has she lost two presidential bids, but that she will never be president - which has been her lifelong ambition.  I have to add something here.. she WAS considering another run for president in 2020 a couple of months ago, but now says she will not run again.  I would not be surprised to see her run again even now.. because she said she would not run again after her 2008 loss.  Furthermore, it is quite obvious that Bill Clinton did not want her to win the election  Bill is a fantastic speaker and extremely persuasive, and was expected to deliver a "home run" with his DNC convention speech endorsing Hillary.  Instead, all he did was give a soft "bunt" by reminiscing about how he met Hillary, dated her, and married her.  (He skipped over the parts about screwing every slut in sight both before he was married, after he was married, while he was governor, while he was president, and after he left office).  Bill also dropped a bomb on Hillary's campaign by saying a couple of weeks before the election that "Obamacare is the craziest thing ever!"

To be concise, Hillary is 'insane in the membrane".

One more thing to add.. Bill and Hillary don't even live in the same house.  They live in two different houses next door to each other.  That is pretty close.  Try and find Barack and Michael Obama in the same COUNTRY at the same time.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. We're going to have the national gun debate again. Tax reform might pass because people are both distracted and disheartened. And if and when we find out the shooter was a leftist, oh gawd, the divide will grow as if Moses were parting it.

I can't think of any reason why anybody in the country, including cops, should be able to buy or possess fully automatic weapons.  Other than the military, what possible purpose could a fully automatic weapon have?

If Sandy Hook didn't get gun legislation through then the Las Vegas incident won't, either. The only thing that could possibly push it through is for a shooter to open fire at an NRA convention and kill that SOB who's leading it.

I disagree, but the reason a reason to allow the sale of automatic weapons is to defend ourselves in case our government overreaches and we need a new American Revolution. If the British had abolished guns for the colonists we'd likely still be under the crown.

The constitution also has a provision for secession.. yet when the fully armed South tried doing that, the North illegally stopped them in the Civil War.

Illegally?

Yes, illegally.  The constitution gives states the right to secede, yet when they did, the north would not let them and attacked.

@Adam, when a hospital charges 78,000 dollars (or 5000 in my school's case), where does that money go? Doctors aren't that rich. Seems like someone's getting a larger piece of the pay than they deserve.

udents anyway.

Wait, are you saying the insurance companys don't actually pay that large amount?

Insurers pay MUCH less than the bill you receive in the mail.  A $5000 charge to you would probably be paid at around $400 by an insurance company.

What?  :blink:

Then why do hospitals make a big show of putting those super high costs on our bills, well, your bills. One step in making the healthcare industry seem less evil would be to show them charging less.

The industry does it to force people to buy health insurance.   It's either that or go bankrupt (or die).

Let them go bankrupt.  In capitalism.. failures go bankrupt.. and should.  The moonbats like to prop up failures by throwing money at doomed disasters.  Everytime the republicans try to change healthcare at all, the moonbats start whining that people will die.  People do die.  All people will eventually die except for me.  It's just a matter of when.  The moonbats don't even wait to evaluate the changes or even read the proposed legislation.

Why should a person die from a disease that is curable?  How much money is your life worth?  Your dads life?  Is the amount different for him?

You never know what your next day will bring up..

That's life!

Businesses can change their contracts with you and there's very little you can do about it.

EULAs are the same way.  You have to agree to accept it to install the software.  HOWEVER, you have to install the software in many cases to read it.

Even worse, they put things into their EULAs which are not legal,  while at the same time NOT honoring their side of the agreement.  
Facebook is like a time bomb that will eventually go off.  Intangible tech companies vaporize overnight.  (remember myspace?)

It will go off overnight.. once someone of notoriety points out that Facebook makes billions off of selling people's personal information.  There are constantly commercials running on TV about LifeLock.  Facebook is the opposite of LifeLock.

Nobody receives Hospice services for 15 years. Medicare actually caps it at six months (which is a long time for this service) and it's rather difficult to continue with the services via Medicare. Hospice is for end of life care. It's basically when treatment has stopped and you are just trying to make the patient comfortable until they die.

People rarely die when they are expected to.  They also don't die when their insurance coverage runs out (although sometimes I wonder…).

Just in my very limited personal experience:
My aunt was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer that had gotten to her lymph nodes.  She was told she would be gone within 3 months.  She lasted over a year.
My dad's 2nd wife's mother had all sorts of medical problems including severe dementia, heart problems, diabetes, legs swollen up like tree trunks.. could not walk, could not even operate her wheelchair.. and lingered like that for 15 years.
My grandfather had rheumatism as a child which gave him what is called a "rheumatic heart" that is like a time bomb.  He was told several times that he needed heart surgery to fix some problem, but he refused.  But then, when he was quite frail and weak, he consented to the heart surgery.  Unfortunately, by the time he consented to the surgery, they told him he was too frail and weak to survive the surgery and they would not do it.  He was in a wheelchair that he could not operate, and in a motorized hospital bed at home, and wearing an oxygen mask for over 2 years before dying. 
My sister in law had severe multiple sclerosis, attempted suicide with an intentional fall - leaving her a quadraplegic with broken vertebrae in her neck.  That left her head fused at a 30% angle.  She couldn't talk, the pupils of her eyes were unresponsive, on a feeding tube, and looked like a corpse for over 15 years before her heart gave out.  My idiot brother fought to keep her alive so he could continue to collect her benefits.  He kept her in a vegetative state of hell just so he could live off the income of her benefits.

Meanwhile, last night on Falloon's show, Hillary tried to explain what happened… not explain the Vegas massacre, but explain why she lost the 2016 election!  Give it a rest you miserable bitch!

A hospice is a type of medical treatment that helps take care of people who are very sick and have an illness that they will not be able to heal from. Many people staying in hospices have cancer or AIDS. People who stay in hospices are expected to die soon, but sometimes they get better.

.. I would say that very few of them get better..  but quite a few of them do not die soon.  It is not usual for someone to live another 15 years after their condition is "terminal'.  In fact, some cancer patients decide to forego chemotherapy because the chemotherapy is brutal.  In many cases, the cancer doesn't kill the person who doesn't take chemo.. but the chemotherapy kills people who do have chemo.

He should get together with Casey Anthony.

There actually is more to that Casey Anthony case.  I don't feel like researching it all again, but basically the little girl accidentally drowned, and the grandfather hid the body.   It seems like the police may have attempted to frame Casey by putting duct tape over the mouth of the decomposing body of Caylee.

OJ could be in trouble again..  since being released, he has spent 2 days signing memorabilia in a hotel room.  He owes over $100 million from  unpaid restitution.  Receiving unreported income would be a violation of his parole and put him back in jail.
