To our friends in China…

Recent events involving Google and Chinese government censorship could have far-reaching implications. I’d like to share some of my thoughts on this sensitive subject with the people of the People’s Republic.

The Health Care: What does it mean for your stupid, stupid family?

President Obama and the Democrats’ The Health Care thing is happening this week. Here is a look at what that thing is all about and when you can expect some differences.

Starting January 1, 2011, prostate exams will be administered in Spanish.

A majority of Americans receive health insurance through their employers. If you eat an entire Tombstone pizza for breakfast, you can expect to feel like a disgusting fat slob with zero self-control for the remainder of the work day.

The legislation’s $938 billion cost is paid for by new taxes on wealthy Americans and on luxury goods such as lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper, but only when those good are purchased in combination, by college-educated adults who should know better.

Small business owners who run Internet startups are now required to move out of their parents’ house and get serious about life.

HMOs are barred from dropping patients if they get sick. A controversial loophole allows HMOs to continue rolling their eyes at patients who use the word “sick” in reference to a motorcycle or UFC knockout punch.

Your insurance policy will cover a range of preventive services, including vaccines, routine physicals, and therapy to get to the bottom of what’s preventing you from eating like a normal human being. An entire Tombstone pizza for breakfast. Jesus fucking Christ.

All the Tasty Horses

Shocking news out of Los Angeles this month:

Federal authorities have charged a trendy Santa Monica sushi restaurant with serving whale meat — an investigation that was spurred by the team behind the Oscar-winning documentary, “The Cove.”

I am almost speechless. How barbaric. How morally, and digestively, repulsive.

Armed with a hidden camera, the two women captured the waitress serving them whale and horse meat and identifying them as such, a federal criminal complaint said.

Unbelievable. I mean, I cannot – hold up.

A receipt from the restaurant at the end of the meal identified their selection as “whale” and “horse” with the cost — $85 — written next to them.

Wait, wait just a second.

The sei is found throughout the world’s oceans.

Whalers began to hunt them after the population of blue and in whales declined due to overfishing.

Is it just me, or are we galloping over a crucial part of the story here? I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. I mean, whales are highly intelligent mammals – oh, right.

Well, I guess it’s not like eating horse meat is illegal or anything.

The law puts horses (including ponies), donkeys and mules under the same pet classification as dogs and cats.

Okay.

¿Viva La Ron Paul Revolución?

¡Aye dios mio! I was watching mi compadre Rick (pronounced “Reeek”) Sanchez on his daytime CNN show, Rick’s List (“Reeek’s Leeest”). I always feel such pride for my people when I watch this program.

On this episode, Rick announced a debate between Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D. – Florida) and Ron Paul (R. – Texas) that was to take place after the commercialidades. I was excited, as I’ve been hearing a great deal about Mr. Paul’s revolution. Details of la revolución have so far eluded me, but it sounded like he was a man with real outsider ideas.

The show returned from commercials and this is what I saw:

Now I’m kind of confused about what “revolution” means, if anything. Maybe it just means something different to my middle-class white friends. Personally, I feel more comfortable enlisting for the RuPaul Revolution at this point. (Thanks, I’ll be here all semena!)

You can always tell a person is honest and sincere when their voice constantly goes in and out of high pitched-tones at belligerent speeds with a spattering of slurred speech. As for the substance of that fluctuating speech: Yes, the reason insurance is out of control is because of a “government mandated function”! Apparently the government mandates exorbitant executive profits, the arbitrary dropping and reducing of coverage, punitive rate increases on the people who can afford it the least, and the hiring of proctologists with larger than usual manos.

You know what? ¡Chinga tu Revolución, Señor Paul! (Pronounced Pow-uhl!) Y tu madre.
