I figured someone would go there.

You say to-may-to and I say to-mah-to

Let’s call the whole thing off

I like it. (The pun, not the macarena.)

Did Weiner’s sexting include maceration?
My big dog has lost another pound - yay! He’s practically macerated!
You mean emacerated?
close.
He needs to lose at least 2 more pounds to knock $400 off his heartworm treatment. I am motivated.
A++
Good for the dog.
did you give him a haircut?
Only 1/2 day of work today-this is getting very, very tiresome...
Many in congress are feeling
The effects of their decision
To allow Obamascare to pass-
Now they’re subject to derision
As the sensible among them
Seek to macerate the thing
The emperor tells “celebrities”
To go adorn it with some bling
But the only ones who listen
To those ‘hood ‘rats every day
Are too young to buy insurance
And don’t have the money to pay...
Weiner is an internet sex addict, I swear. Did I hear his wife say he’d been to therapy? Well, here’s a newsflash, lady-you wasted your money-it didn’t work!
If she wants to stay with that pig, that it her business, but I can’t imagine why anyone in NYC, or any other city would want to elect a mayor who is vulnerable to blackmail...

“Detroit” and “macerated.” Perfect together.

Obamacare only works if people who don’t need much insurance (the young and healthy) subsidize those who do (the old and feeble.) The former will never buy it in sufficient numbers to support the latter. The whole thing could collapse under its own weight.
Thank you!
As an interesting aside, the people I know/know of who are feeble/in ill health are nearly all male, under the age of 55, and most take a lot of prescription drugs, and don’t work at all, at anything-they do hang out at the deli and the ice house complaining a lot, though, which is why everyone knows them.
Healthy people never retire here-they just keep running their farms and businesses till they die of something quick.
The healthy of any age are simply not going to be forced support the sick, buy their drugs, pay for their hospital visits, etc across the board, Truthy-it is different with a private insurance company-their risk pool is not the whole f’in country-I have Tricare, but that is a limited risk pool, too.
Why should those of us who don’t seek medical attention unless injured or dying, remain drug free, fit, healthy and working pay for literally thousands who run to the doctor with every sniffle, are morbidly obese and depressed-and also pay for 8 or nine prescription drugs they take, and the side effects of all those drugs?
I’m probably rendered cynical by a degree in social work and years as a case manager, but I’ve seen so many able bodied people rendered stupid by antidepressants, painkillers, etc so that they never want to work again and end up on Medicaid and SSDI when their workers comp runs out. Obamascare is just that on a much larger scale- stepping off soapbox and exiting stage right...
There is a certain logic to the insurance groups. A company has an interest in the health of its workers and their loved ones.
My interest in the health of some unrelated person wanes.
I like the Obama plan to whip us all up into a frenzy of race division right before calling on all of us to see ourselves as one big insurance pool.
