SLiM: Health Reform Bull


When we look upon our woes and pities nowadays, we can see quite obviously, that it is the government’s fault. I mean, no duh it’s the government who is taking the money from our pockets, who else would it be? The wise men who you see walking down the street, hunchbacked and hoarse, will tell you, "“It is your own fault, sonny boy. You were foolish enough to vote for a lad who promised change. I remember, young whippersnapper, the good ol’ days, when no politician was corrupt." If you look more deeply, however, you will realize that change is a good thing. Just look at 1763. Then America really needed change. Being taxed with no representation at all, good or bad? Come on.

However, change is usually not needed after about 8 years of something which was, in my opinion, great. (If you feel differently, my next 2 sentences are for you.) However, change is often not needed after 8 years of something bad. I mean, give more time to try it out, like you give to a food! However, I would like to point something out. On the surface, Obama is changing. If you look deeper, though, you find that in the long run, Obama is not changing anything.

If you look carefully throughout recent history, there are 2 happy little countries. One is called the U.S.A., the other U.S.S.R. If you look even more carefully, you will see that the country called the U.S.S.R. ends abruptly in 1994, leaving U.S.A. as the only happy little country left. This is due partially because of a dude called Gobachev, who simply didn’t have the heart to kill every other person he saw. Killing every other, or at least every third person you saw, was a needed quality in the wonderful little country called USSR.

The other main reason was called something called communism, based on a little idea named socialism.

Before I explain what these terms mean, I am urged to quote from a foreign ambassador of Vietnam, a communist country itself:

“We are not without achievement. We have managed to distribute poverty equally.”

So there you have it, folks. Communism is the art of distribution of poverty equally.

But wait! I just got a telephone call from Joseph Stalin, to tell me what communism really is.
Waaaaait a second. Paul has a bull and Frank doesn't?! Gasp! We must give half the bull to Frank! But wait. My trusty PETA advisor here tells me I can't kill the animal to divide its meat, so the government will have to take the bull instead. Now Paul and Frank are both happy because they both have an equal amount of money. Paul complains that the government has taken his bull, and the current prime minister shoots Paul because he is a menace to society that he won'’t share his bull with Frank. Frank complains that he has nothing, so the government gets upset that he is not satisfied with their significant charity. The current prime minister puts a bullet through Frank’s head also, and everyone is happy.

Ah. Thank you, Mr. Stalin.

Now, we must explain what socialism is. Socialism is when one person has more than another, so the government decides to stick its large nose in the way. This is done quite conveniently by something called tax. Or, to be more precise, income tax. (Einstein once remarked that one of the only things he didn't understand was income tax.) So here's the scenario, in today’s terms.
Waaaaait a second. Bill has health insurance and Richard doesn't? We have to tax Bill to pay for poor, sad, Richard’s health insurance that he doesn't really want.

As it looks like from here, U.S.A. is gonna start working on spreading poverty equally.

Let’s hope I don’t get a bull.

SLiM: Two all beef patties...


I love our country. Yes, I am a very patriotic person, whether or not you believe it.

What I want to write about here is that I am fed up with a certain song about the U.S. No, it’s not G-d Bless America. I love that song. It’s not even The Star Spangled Banner, even though I hate the way that song revolves around The Flag. No, it’s a song that many of you out there probably don’t even know that it’s a patriotic song.

It’s The Big Mac Song.

Yep, many of you don’t know it, but it officially is an American song.

Here’s why. A while ago, a group of people made a survey of how many Americans knew The Big Mac Song, versus how many Americans knew The Pledge of Allegiance. The end results were astonishing.

More Americans Knew The Big Mac Song than the Pledge of Allegiance!!!!

I, personally have never gone to McDonald’s® and never hope to, and therefore shudder to think of pledging allegiance to the big Yellow M, and starting off the day with Two all-beef patties…

Just to tell people out there: In case you didn’t think so yet, the Big Mac™ is officially an American icon now.
