Current mood: amused

This recent Friday night, I was watching one of the shows from the Stargate franchise and this commercial spot was included as a sponsor —



Now, I've seen these sort of things before in print advertisements and in spam I've received in email. What sparked my attention this time was that in this case, the gadget was billed as a "therapeutic device," and thus is covered by Medicare.

This really shouldn't come as a surprise. After all, Viagra is covered. Maybe Bob "Brady Bill" Dole had something to do with that in his post-Senatorial time as PR spokeslug for Pfizer, pitching Viagra in between lobbying gigs.

And it gets even funnier -- the Pos-T-Vac site sets you back Ø550 for the BOSS 2000-3 unit.

Hey guys, if this sort of therapy is what you need to get it up, do your fellow taxpayers a favor and go with one of the "non-therapeutic" pumps that are advertised in porn outlets that run somewhere around Ø20-50 apiece. Sure, you'll have to shell out that Ø20-50 from your own pocket at the local adult bookstore.

And if that's not an option, there's always the Shop Vac therapy —


Seriously, "eagleeye1975" makes some good points in comparing the Post-T-Vac to other Medicare-funded items, such as the Hoveround, in that with both the Pos-T-Vac and Hoveround, the end-user ("consumer" or "customer") isn't the one who pays for it. See for yourself —

From a comment posted at the Devil's Kitchen —

But when it comes to broken promises, explicit promises, Labour and the Liberal Democrats are two cheeks if the same Vichy arse and I would gladly cut off his cock and winch Gordon Brown's intestines from his treacherous stomach and cook them for him in front of his remaining eye before cutting him in four and beating the rest of the cabinet to death with bits of him, cunt.

And the American lamestream snoozemedia labels the Tea Party folks here in the States as "disgrunted," "hate-filled," and such.

Current mood: annoyed

Just recently (25 August), Senator Ted Kennedy (Fascist-Massachusetts) croaked.

Of course, Republicans are memorializing him in their own way by showcasing his 1969 underwater expedition. Can't really blame them -- after all, they're Republicans, and that's what they do -- nitpick the "other side's" personal failings while excusing their stupid, insane and evil policies.

As for Teddy's swim that night, well, maybe he felt envious of brother Jack's status as a war hero and a bit of guilt over skating out the Korean War in Europe, and plunging the car into the water was his way of making things right.

And of course, the Democrats are also memorializing him in their own way, by using him as a martyr of sorts to pass their stupid, insane and evil medical plan for all of society AKA ObamaCare -- "This was his dream." "Let's pass it for him." and such.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Democrats decided to revive their idea to re-enact the "assault weapons" ban, as The Barack said he wanted to do while on the campaign trail.

Nauseating.

Now what exactly was Kennedy good at while warming chairs in the U.S. Senate? Let's see --

• He was good at sponsoring anti-Constitutional legislation.
• He was good at re-writing the laws of supply and demand by exploding the size and scope of the welfare state.
• He was good at invoking the memory of Jack and Bobby as a reason to inflict victim disarmament laws on everyone else in America.
• He was good at poking the nose of the federal government into every aspect of Americans' lives as he could.

So maybe he had a good life after all . . .?
