Some Things Never Change

A clever and competent reader sent this to me today. It’s a picture of a gravestone in Kansas for a man named Nathaniel Grigsby.

He was a dear friend of Abraham Lincoln, and you can read about his life here. The dude died in 1890. Yep. Over a hundred years ago.

Here’s the inscription on the tombstone in case you can’t read it:

Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party therefore beware of this party of treason.

Put on in fulfillment of promise to Deceased.

Change? Riiiiiight. It just involves a lot more Kool-Aid these days.

Harry McDelusional: It’s FREE!!!

You ready for this? Harry Reid thinks that the healthcare monstrosity is all paid for, you guys. It’s FREE!!!!!!! And he doesn’t know what “world – what SPHERE” – conservatives are living in.

Um, Harry – that would be the sphere of existence where I’m going to have to pay out the butt for something you feel superior to participating in yourself. This “FREE” thing he speaks of will have 85% of us with health coverage seeing our premiums go up. Not to mention the fact that our liberty is at stake. And it’s yet another $2 trillion government takeover. But yeah…it’s hard to see why people with Actual Brains would want to stifle the crap out of this.

I’m just glad I’m living in that “other sphere.” I like it here. Quite frankly, I don’t want to live in the land of age-spotted senility, thank you very much.

Last night, it was a 60-39 vote. The Dems rammed it through for the next debate to take place after Thanksgiving. And just in time for Christmas. Yay!

Behold the hopey-changey lies, and once again – happy Sunday, everyone!

I read this article and first thought it was a joke. But, alas…it was not, dear readers.

You see, there’s this dude named Emanuel Cleaver. He’s a Congressman (D-MO), and he wants everyone to just stop complaining and sing kum-ba-yah and stuff, so he’s circulated this letter to seek “co-sponsors for House Concurrent Resolution 155, designating the day before Thanksgiving as the official “Complaint Free Wednesday.”

Yeah. You read that right.

He goes on to try to explain his idea by spewing the following:

From time to time, we all experience anxiety, frustration, stress, and regret. And often, we respond to these feelings with a criticism or a complaint. Regrettably, complaining keeps people stuck on current problems, inhibiting them from thinking constructively to find solutions. Research has also shown that complaining can be harmful to one’s emotional and physical health; relationships; and can limit professional career success.

That is just plain precious, isn’t it? And here I thought Stuart Smalley was already residing in that dude named Al Franken. Looks like I was misguided there.

Next up on the docket? Bring Your Ferret To Work Fridays! Yay!

Your tax dollars at work, everyone. Go ahead….bask in the glory of your hopey-changey voting decisions…
