Role models for our children, ha! Great players yes,

Jordan Farmar, mmm, not so much, but anyway,

but role models for our children is hardly what I would use to describe some of these NBA players!

…Since someone asked?

I will even go as far as to say role models for adults, hardly!

If you’re an adult and you are looking to as 23-year-old kid who plays with a ball for a living for guidance as to how you should be living your own life, you should be bitch-slapped. You fucking tool.

I won’t go into details or say players’ names,

Rashard Lewis: Whew!

but you could tell that they were saying a few choice words in the game on June 12 (Lakers vs. Magic). Even the superstars were getting into it. I don’t know about you, but when I was 5 years old I could read lips,

Well aren’t you special. You fucking hothouse flower you.

and these guys were not saying kind words to each other. It is not just this game that players cuss and get into it with other players, but this was a great example. Even the big superstars were jawing at each other.

It seems to me that a lot of NBA players are hypocrites because they get on national TV and act like they are real stand-up guys, and then do this in front of our families and children!

Yeah, it’s like, Kobe Bryant raped a woman, but what really bothers us is the pervasive use of foul language.

Now there are some legitimate guys, for example

He’s gonna mention a white guy. WE JUST FUCKING KNOW HE’S GOING TO MENTION A WHITE GUY.

Finally, it’s:

John Stockton.

…who, Richard Miner is prepared to verify, has never ever ever ever said a bad word, not once.

I have finally come to the conclusion that the NBA is just a game,

We were just a little ahead of Mr. Miner on this one. We first realized the NBA is just a game when the Jazz introduced their new slogan for this year: “Life off, game on.”

and what comes first is my family. My kids will not be watching this stuff, and I am done watching it, too!

‘Yeah, I’m just like, all about my family. My family is too important to risk letting them lip-read a curse word.’ Go fuck yourself, and your stupid family. No one gives a shit. No one wants to read about your latest brilliant parenting in the Herald Journal, you stupid racist fuck.

To The Editor:

As I listen to the president speak about “reforming” our nation’s health care system, I cannot help but get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Hmm, you’d better get that checked. You’ve got insurance, right?

For those of you out there that have not yet become alarmed at the “hope and change” being spread about by our new president, I would urge you to wake up and pay attention.

If the government can gain control of the health care system, they will essentially have control of every aspect of our lives.

Health care. Last bastion of freedom. Remember that the next time your 11-minute refraction isn’t covered.

Some government bureaucrat will decide who can qualify for certain treatments, and under what circumstances. They will dictate how much doctors should be compensated for said treatments.

Unlike the current system, where doctors essentially get to make figures up.

If you want to see a microcosm of what nationalized health care will look like, just take a look at Medicaid and Medicare. Rationing of treatment will be standard procedure. Employers will be FORCED to provide health insurance benefits to employees

Good.

rather than having the option to offer insurance benefits to employees as part of their pay compensation. This will no doubt lead to further unemployment.

If our “so-called” government representatives really wanted to repair the health care system in this country, the first order of business would be tort reform and the limitation of punitive lawsuits. That act alone would lower the cost of health care dramatically. Doctors and hospitals could charge significantly less and more time and energy could be devoted to actually caring for patients instead of worrying about the next impending lawsuit. I personally know several doctors who have either retired early or will not work in certain specialties just because of the high cost of malpractice insurance.

Oh, poor them. Forced to retire early because they weren’t becoming as fabulously wealthy as they wanted to. They probably only golf five days a week.

Some of the best and brightest are discouraged from even entering into medicine.

They couldn’t face the idea of just driving a Lincoln. What’s the point of practicing medicine, after all, if you can’t throw money around like Pac Man Jones? OUR NATIONS DOCTORS NEED MORE MONEY. AND ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE EVENT THEY FUCK UP AND KILL OR MAIM SOMEONE. YOU STUPID LIBERALS JUST DON’T GET IT.

The idea of having insurance protection in case of a catastrophic event is a very sound decision both for one’s family and business. However, out of control, punitive lawsuits have forced insurance to become one of the biggest rackets of our time.

Yeah, events just ‘forced’ insurance companies to become one of the biggest rackets of our time. It’s barely profitable.

The catastrophic event that most businesses, doctors or even homeowners face today is a punitive lawsuit brought on by someone looking to get rich quick, aided and abetted by an ambulance- chasing attorney. Accidents in life just don’t just happen anymore. They always have to be someone else’s fault. Businesses and homeowners alike spend billions each year in liability insurance premiums. That money could do so much more good in developing new technologies, products, and bettering peoples lives.

It started out as a rant against our Black President, and ended up as a rant against presumably Jewish attorneys. Five will get you 20, Doug Coombs is in favor of building a giant wall between us and Mexico, ‘bettering peoples [sic] lives’ be damned.
