Last week President Obama signed a nuclear reduction agreement, and so far there’s no word the GOP plans to block this at all.

The Republicans had eight unbroken years in which to change healthcare, and they did nothing. They also had the same window in which to ban nukes and were similarly idle.

And there, I believe, we have a true illustration of the collective Republican mind – Allowing the people of this nation – their own voters – to improve their lives with decent healthcare is deeply offensive, while letting those same people dissolve in a nuclear cloud is completely okay.

One can only hope President Obama is granted six terms…

By a vote of 219 to 212 the House approved a bill first passed by the Senate four months ago. And still they’re not done.

And even after stalling for a year so the same high quality, affordable health care their jobs give them could not be shared by the people who gave them those posts, the two sides could not resists getting close to a camera so they could con those same voters into keeping them in DC to do even more damage.

Outside the Capitol a group of ‘rent-a-mob’ protesters waved dumb signs on a stick, chanting, “Kill the Bill!” Inside, equally immature Democrats claimed the shameful act of wasting a year to pass a bill that would have been done in two weeks if it was pointed at them as some kind of historic miracle.

They won election by promising the most influential, most massively life-improving new law since Social Security, and instead delivered a weak, mewling, bastardized cross-breed that barely makes a dent in the chaotic, unequal, extortionate nightmare that is this nation’s health service; Nor in the profits of those who selfishly made it this way.

Not being a citizen I can’t get this new ’service,’ and am therefore an annoyed but impartial observer. And from where I sit I can see blame on both sides;

The Republicans waste $1.4-trillion on two invasions that have no basis in truth, then whine that the healthcare bill will waste the taxpayers’ money.

The Dems, meanwhile, promise the nation a ‘new start’ on health, then slice the bill into ribbons to placate the Republicans, until what they finally deliver is a vast breach of promise to the people who put them in power, expecting and deserving to get the bill as it was!

And both sides eagerly indulged in this year of ego-polishing indolence with the shared selfish goal of raising their profile in the media in order to win their jobs – and their free health care back -  in the November mid-terms.

I only hope all you good people fittingly reward them for letting you down…

A lot of people are reluctant to visit a dentist, and those old movies featuring dentists like W.C. Fields armed with huge drills they then used on patients who were captured in scenes of foot-flailing pain were not exactly great for PR.

But a lot has changed since the days of such overblown vaudeville.

If your current dental condition suggests you need an implant dentist Plano is one place you need to look. Check that link, do some browsing and you could soon find relief…
