I will give myblogsite a few more days...

And if the ability to comment is not fixed, if the security code is still non existent, I will go somewhere else and put up a link here.

Also, their CGI script page to post a form asking them for help goes nowhere... imagine that

Enough is enough.
A few more days then its new blog service time.

An idiot's view on American Healthcare System - the Insurance edition (with bonus material of a young girl dying)

22 December 07 - 18:54

Hi it's your favorite idiot here (or I hope that I make your idiot top 10 by now).

Today I will tackle the American Healthcare System. I will concentrate on the money aspect of it (as I was told long ago by Cuba Gooding jr. to always follow the money). So have a sit, grab a high fructose corn syrup beverage of your choice , and prepare for my breaking down this very complicated issue into idiot level, so that I and anybody who reads this blog can understand what the problem is with the best care in the world (tm by American TV and corporations, as well as associated lobbyists and assorted scum). I will go slow I promise.

Here's how American healthcare insurance works.
American Insurance companies are a for profit organizations - meaning they exist to make money for their owners and shareholders, the more money they make, the happier everybody is. This is standard corporate stuff, and in this instance they are no different than Ford Motor Company or Walmart or your ... (more)

The future scam of America is now

22 December 07 - 00:34

Simple story.

Police come to your house, find a smudge of marijuana and confiscate all your money. Take your house. Your car. Did I mention that they take away all the money that the nice people in uniform can get their hands on?

First, read this and this.

Your blood boiled yet?

Here's the law's statement:
"Title 18, section 981 of the United States Code is the general-purpose civil forfeiture statute applicable to most federal crimes. Among other things, it authorizes the forfeiture of property involved in money laundering cases,2 property derived from or used to commit certain foreign crimes,3 and the proceeds of any offense designated as a "specified unlawful activity."4

Because there is NO security code in that box.
I apologize for this myblogsite error; if you need to get in touch email me at americangoy@yahoo.com
And yes I am pissed...

I would ask you for your comments on this bullshit but (har har har).

History of Violence - Real Life Edition (with bonus Icelandic and American material!)

21 December 07 - 18:40

One thing that I, as a European, have noticed since coming over here is the respect, morphing even into fear, of uniformed police in this country. People really fear the uniform.

You can see this every time when you drive on a highway, where the legal speed limit is 55, and once people spot a parked police car on the side of the road, everybody, and I mean EVERYONE, slows down to about 40 miles per hour. Just to not provoke a sleeping bear I guess...

Here are my own experiences.
I once parked a car at the airport curb, and went inside to search for a friend of mine who was late. Big mistake. After about 20 to 40 seconds, I saw a tow truck maneuvering, angling to hook my car up. I ran out, and said: "Hey, I am here, I am leaving now", at which the tow truck driver speeded up, bumped my car so that it shook, and hooked it. I asked him why he hit my car, and he did not deign to answer, but his cheshire cat smile told me that he really enjoyed the situation. ... (more)

My hero - Steven Gilliard

20 December 07 - 01:07

I started my forays into blogs by reading Steven Gilliard.

Only I didn't know about it at the time.

There came a time in my life when I turned down the radio (please no more Rush Limbaugh), when I simply could not stomach the bias in TV news, when newspapers articles didn't do it for me... I needed my sanity back. If it was not too late.

Enter The News Blog.

Whoever wrote the articles wrote eloquently, beautifully and effectively put their point across. Which was to call a spade a spade, and a con man a bullshit artist.

Through the blog, I was alerted to REAL NEWS (instead of a white woman was was missing 245 days in Aruba, who dominated 50% of newscasts' air time). Real news. I forgot such a thing existed.

After a few weeks of on and off reading, in one post it dawned on me that Mr. Gilliard... is... ... (more)

The cultural isolation of the USofA

20 December 07 - 00:09

As an immigrant from Europe, one of the things that irks me is the incredible isolation of this country from the rest of the world. This feature of America is one of the main differences between United States and any other country in the world. Let me explain...

In Europe, one can go to McDonald's, Pizza Hut, go to a cinema watch an American movie, watch American shows on TV, listen to American music on the mainstream radio and buy that music in a store. As well as listen to French rap, watch French sitcoms and eat at a restaurant staffed by French chefs. Also listen to German pop rock, watch German movies... Same thing with Spanish, Balkan and other influences.

The same can be said of Latin America and Asia. American movies and music and influence is there for all to partake in.

You can watch the Simpsons in France, Lost in Germany and House in Poland.

The Clintons are political geniuses - bow down your heads in respect people!

18 December 07 - 14:38

This will be short and sweet I promise.

Simply put, the Clinton political team is on genius level, perhaps beat only in the noggin department by the criminal bush family.

See
Clinton bush superhero team.

Clinton, of the husband variety, told reporters that bush, of the George Herbert Walker variety (not the retarded genus of 'W') will work to help Hillary Clinton in her bid to become USA's first woman president.

This is a genius move on many levels, and once I started to think on this, opened my eyes to how really smart the Clinton political team is.

First, many of the die hard republicans remember bush 'W' father as a very good president, who won a short and almost bloodless (for Americans) war in Kuwait, worked well in the international politics, and was (and is) very ... (more)

America - I present to you the new First Family

16 December 07 - 20:08

The Huckabees!

Aren't they cute? Gosh the family name sounds like a TV sitcom!

These guys represent this country perfectly! The gleaming, happy smiles, the svelte, athletic shapes, the obvious intelligence that beams, nay, radiates from these faces! The world will love them, even more than they love the current president! The great understated taste in clothing which will wow them in Milano and Paris! The obvious class of this family will really put those snotty Euros in their place! The quotient of intelligence represented in this picture already is upsetting the Europeans and other assorted enemies of the patriotic Americans!

Now, it is very unfortunate that one of the spoiled lard ass fat piece of shit sons I mean, err sorry, golden boy of Huckster has

Taxes are unfair - the idiot's view on US taxation system

15 December 07 - 23:54

In my research (limited by my obvious idiocy - it's a birth condition, so give me a break OK?), I have looked at my taxes.  And taxes of my parents.  I looked for a way that I could pay less taxes than I was paying at the time.  And there is one, very simple, obvious solution.

Become rich.

In Yoo Ess of Ey, the richer you are, the less taxes you pay.

Now many Americans will become red in the face, grab a gun and a torch, and a made-in-China american flag, and go after me with cries of commie, pinko, lib, and perhaps other names.  Please, put your gun down - you are liable to hurt yourself.  Settle down.  Lemme explain.

It is true that a rich billionare pays a bigger amount of money than the idiot you are currently reading.  No question.  I pay in thousands, he/she pays in tens of thousands.  But that billionare is still paying less than you.

Hey!  Sit down!  I said settle down and put the ... (more)

An oldie but goody story here.
Diebold story from 2004

In 2004, Mr. Walden "Wally" O'Dell, the chairman of the board and chief executive of the Diebold Company, said that he pledged "to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President."  This was said at a Republican fundraiser for the Republican party.

Now, in case y'all forgot, Diebold was (and actually still is) the company that is making machines that count the votes.  The votes that people cast for either Republicans or Democrats.  Let me break it down for you, idiot style:

There are 3 things that are wrong with this story.

1)  How come a CEO of a company that makes machines that count people's votes has a fundraiser for the Republicans (perhaps a lil wee conflict of interest? ... (more)
