Health Care for the Rich and Famous

There is a belief that if you devise and execute a plan you are making progress. If the plan does not seem to be working it is simply a matter of altering the method of measurement. Looking long enough there is always a way to find some scrap of evidence to support any choice. Of course, the problem with this is the evidence, no matter how superficial, or stupid becomes the proof that things are swimming right along. And then, no matter how flawed idea it becomes a victim of its own proof.

Of course the republican health care bill doesn't have this problem. There is no proof at all that it will work. All evidence indicates that the Affordable Health Care plan is working well, and this does not come from elected officials, who are the last people we should turn to for proof, but from health care providers, groups responsible for the care of the infirm, the mentally ill, veterans groups, those that need help the most.

But, it does have the overwhelming support of the wealthy, and that is what makes democracy work.

I would like to think mankind is better than this. But I would be wrong.

So, grab onto everything you can, no matter who you have to take it from, it is the american way.

Life is difficult to understand, and often it seems the chances for success and opportunities for happiness are distributed disproportionately among jerks, that wealth and power are becoming the new version of royalty in the world, either you are born into it, or you learn to do without.  Scraping by on subsistence wages, and hoping to break even before you give up the ghost.  Or as Ian Anderson sang so prophetically;

"And you place your final burden

On your hard pressed next of kin;

Send the chamber pot back down the line

To be filled up again."

Occasionally, though, you find the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow, the golden ticket, the goose that lays the golden egg.  If you are lucky.  Or, ingratiate your self with someone who might get wealthy, and powerful, which is the path I chose.

Fellow blogger, +Mike Raven who writes the very funny Blog of Thog has decided to pursue a career in performance art, and here is his latest masterpiece.

Wow, Is That Powerful, Or What?!?!

I am not sure how many views it takes to make "viral" but this video has at least enough to be "bacterial." which is a good start.  Plus, it is about Clash of Clans, a gaming sensation that is sweeping the nation, and a good thing, too.  This nation could use a good sweeping.

This guy is headed for the big time, and has asked me to manage his first world tour. 

Mike is not an old man, but, he is not too young (like a certain train wreck teen idol whose name we will not mention) he is what we call, in the entertainment biz, "just old enough to make me rich and not need a full time babysitter."

So, buy your tickets to the "Song of Thog."  Get your "Thog" tshirts, and baseball caps, and sun visors, and videos, and action figures, and bumper stickers, and CDs.  Plus, as an added bonus for you old timers, and as tribute to stars from days gone by, we are going to release the first album on 8 track tape, too.

In an unrelated question, which gated community for filthy rich entertainment moguls is rated highest?  I was just wondering.
