If It Works In Healthcare

Every day I get closer to wanting to blow something up.

Good thing I'm so damn lazy.

Timothy Mcveigh went that route, and it was a dead end.

We need to pull off some brilliant shit and get a piece of land somewhere for free for America II.

I try the powerball/megamillions every once in a while.

I'm apparently short of other brilliance.

I bet we could talk our way into a couple hundred square miles of desert somewhere in some country that gets the positive byproduct of having us there... and has an inferiority complex with all his neighbors.

And have them fund our progress. Maybe an oil-rich, culture-poor nation.

I think we're just that smart.

Ok, I read to chapter 3. Is there a cliff notes version?

He gets his own sub-country.

That's what I saw coming.

I suppose it helped that he had $30 million in the bank. Which is where our plan would fail.

We've got to pull it off with nothing more than our combined intellect. And Cakedaddy.

Maybe we could pull a Lex Luthor and commandeer a missle, fire it at the San Andreas fault. When California falls in to the ocean we prop it up with some inflatable rafts and take possession legally using international salvage laws...

Jeeze that sounds like a really stupid idea when it's written out. Let me have another cup of coffee and I'll see if I can do something about the rafts.

Remember on South Park when Chef needed to raise money? We'll put Cake to work on that.

Socialized Medicine will suck:

Apparently, HMO's only have a 15% approval rate with Americans. People don't like the waits, and the institutional service, but, more than anything, they don't like someone in the HMO back office rationing their care based on pre-set formulas about what care or test is appropriate in each given situation.

All well and good. However, if this is so, then why does the idea of universal government health care appeal to so many people? Because if universal health care turns out as well as it possibly could, then the best we could expect is that it will resemble... current HMO's.

Hey, Jim Jones did it once.

And I am connected to Jim Jones closer than all y'all are, probably.

So I have that going for me.

Have you tried scrounging up a red paperclip anywhere? Don't stop at the house. Go for an island.

Really? Explain.

Wacko nut jobs are fascinating studies, particularly when their shows of bravado can trick a lot of sheep. All my buddies are somewhat creeped out when the History or Discovery channel does the usual special on psychos & I name them off by photo before the narrator.

If it helps, my name is James Jones and I'm ordained.

Interesting. Now I know Michael Jackson, Leif Erikson, & Jim Jones.

I have a close relative that was with Jim Jones's congregation as he was relocating around the US, prior to Guyana.

She was so crazy, though, that Jones ditched her in California.

Too cray for Jim Jones? That's crazy.

Isn't that why the Canadians come here for medical care?

If you guys get the island, I'll stock it with women...and someone for Cake.
