RAVENS Thoughts

Ravens Keys to Victory:  
1. Get the offense in rhythm early.
2. Confuse Kolb.
3. Put the 1-5 team away early.

What stubborn Cameron needs to do (but won't):
1. Run some outside sweeps and counters to take advantage of the athletic (not mauling) o-line
2. Mix up the passing game (Outs and Middle slants, Short-Intermediate-Long distance).
3. Stop running the same crap passes that takes too long to develop and gets Flacco creamed.
4. Use a TE to block a little. Not throwing to them anyway.
5. Run a gadget play for God's sake.
6. Get the play called early and run a little no-huddle.

Stupid ObamaCare

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_LONG_TERM_CARE_PROGRAM?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-10-14-15-24-47

Why in the Hell would one buy a plan that gives you $50 daily LTC benefit for which the same dollar would buy you quite possibly the highest end LTC policy for a COUPLE a private insurer?!?  Further... what is the sense of paying for such a small LTC benefit ($50/day), when you can't make up the difference and will go on Medicaid anyway???


'Monthly premiums would have ranged from $235 to $391, even as high as $3,000 under some scenarios, the administration said. At those prices, healthy people were unlikely to sign up. Suggested changes aimed at discouraging enrollment by people in poor health could have opened the program to court challenges, officials said.'

So yes, there would have been a 'public option' in ObamaCare.  I still wonder why orthodontics were not covered in this law?  You don't want snaggle tooth kids with low self-esteem running around out there... UNLESS... a new $70 Billion snaggle tooth kid Teachers training initiative is in the works.  Hell, we celebrate mediocrity and participation everywhere, why not celebrate snaggle toothedness? 

Further, Further... how will will we now deploy the already active bureaucracy created for such a wasted cause?

Holy Crip, its a crapple!

AP News


'...an approach to government that will fundamentally cripple America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.'


As someone feeling as such this AM, I find this word offensive.  A better way would be to say...


'...an approach to government that will fundamentally physically impair America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.'


But, I think BHO forgot about the G-word that he likes to now avoid, so I will help...


'...an approach to operating your Federal Household that will fundamentally physically impair America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.'


And, to not offend all of those here illegally, lets drop the whole 'America' thing...



'...an approach to operating your Federal Household that will fundamentally physically impair The Territory South of Canada and North of Mexico in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.'


Now, that your are incredibly confused, prior to the '...', BHO is actually making this claim about the impeding Republican take over of the Senate and Presidency in 2013. Given that that makes little sense, I thought I would help him with a reality check on why this is going to happen, let me fix this all together...


What I and the Progressive Left offer is an approach to over reaching government power that will fundamentally cripple America in meeting the challenges of the 21st century.'

Mandy Moore

Fat Bastard that Tries to Look Poor

'Michael Moore defends Obamacare and healthcare programs similar to it around the world. Moore says the only "things you maybe have to wait for" are a knee replacement surgery or cataracts. 

"Things that are not life-threatening," Moore said on HBO's "Real Time" with host Bill Maher. "The reason why you have to wait sometimes in those countries is they let everybody in the line. We make 50 million people out of the line so the line is shorter, so sometimes you have to wait as long. If you are a patriotic American, you want every American to be covered the same as you. No, not 'I'm going to get ahead because I have health insurance and they don't,'" Michael Moore explained.'

I love this guy.  Poo-pooing the intense pain people deal with when needing a knee replaced while championing the cause of the (now) 50 million phantom untreated.  I guess because it is called 'replacement' this means that its optional and done for vanity and convenience.  All those people being shut out of healthcare treatment because Maude wants to get her knees did.  And cataracts?  This is a crisis situation.  All ophthalmologists on Michael Moore's orders immediately report to More Important Medical School for retraining.  Your KSA's are far more important to treating those in the Socialist Utopia Mash Unit.

How about this... lets kick all of the people out of the emergency room for less than emergency situations?  That should reduce wait times AND workplace absence rates as people won't have the 'I was at the hospital excuse'...

Even if your assertion is true, He Who Warps Context to His Argument's Benefit, and that I am making the uninsured wait longer for care because of my responsible gluttony, tough titties... I made the economic decision as a free thinking individual to position myself in life so that I would have insurance coverage.  As I am able to complete this economic exchange for a service, maybe I should be able to be seen before others?  However, being a 'patriotic' American (and Patriot, you are not Fat Tird in a Hat) I will let those in greater need (or who only have one or two items at the checkout) butt in front of me.  All because I am nice guy and not because of a corrupt and convoluted government healthcare scheme.

You know what else is patriotic, jackass?  Martyrdom.  Find a box of Organic Jelly Donuts (or whatever is contributing to your physique) and consume while failing to chew.

Coming soon...

A bunch of pictures of the basement!!!!!!!!

You will pay... listen to what I say!

Hello all...

Welcome to my ADHD riddled Web Log!  We will cover topics ranging from Home Improvement to Politics, Landscaping to Sports, Travel to Saving money on stuff, Random crap that annoys me to Raising a baby and everything in between!

I am starting this as I figure Facebook is sending me a message with its new News Feed that gives you the option to 'unsubscribe'. Taking that hint, I will now only shoot off my mouth on here.

So grab a warm Starbucks and scone, find a comfy seat... and deal with it.

MATT!

She asks her boyfriend, 'Are you drunk?'


With one eye opened, he pauses, as if in deep thought and replies, 'Partially?'
