I love Justice Ginsberg's scathing rebuttal of the legislative five ultra conservative Justices. However, I see benefit as a result from this travesty and attack on women's rights. I think that birth control should be removed from insurance company managing and service and rates be reduced accordingly, and women can pay a fee for the insurance being handled by Medicare. I'm talking all women.
In fact those residing in states where the Governor refuses to help their poor, ala Medicaid, Medicare should step in and provide a very low rate for the same coverage as if the Governor cooperated.
In fact, the next time this court legislated a diminution in ACA services, Medicare should include it.
When SCOTUS deemed ACA to be legal, it included all provisions except it gave Governors an option. SCOTUS did not say helping the poor was not a part of ACA.
In the future, when the court slices away our health care, Medicare should fill the gap.
I extrapolate to the point of having a one payer system allot sooner.

Planned Parenthood, please sue the Supreme Court.
The SCOTUS ruled that it was illegal to have a buffer zone between an Abortion Clinic and the hecklers. I suppose the concept is that Free Speech is violated if there is a buffer and if the hecklers murder someone or maim them or prevent a woman from visiting her doctor., the redress is to call the police.
Attorney for the bible huggers say the need access to those wanting an abortion so they can, in a low voice, educate the women as to other alternatives. I'm not sure. But I think I saw some of those lawyers at the Improv doing slapstick.
Now, I am told that SCOTUS/ has a buffer around themselves. This is a violation of free speech. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to whisper a tutorial on how much some decision have hurt our country..
If a buffer zone around SCOTUS is removed and some die or are maimed, why then, they can call the police.

One for You, Two for Me; Lots of Ads from BP
It seems every hour, I see several TV ads telling me how many Americans BP hires. I wonder why they are spending millions on TV ads telling me what wonderful corporate citizens they are? Am I supposed to thank them for giving jobs to us?
I suggest that BP hires people to make their bottom line fatter. There is no altruism, no philanthropy here. They're not our long lose brothers. I am sure they simply feel it is worth spending the advertising dollars to mend their reputation for killing people with the explosion in the Gulf, for poisoning the water killing untold birds, killing fish, ruining commerce and the shorelines many businesses, people's livings.and tourism.
I'd like British Petroleum to use the advertising money to finish the clean-up job they caused and invest 20 billion to build wind turbines and solar panels across the U S.

My Pen Name is Carl Stove
As Republicans, these are the mandates that must be followed by all elected officials and others:
1. Obstruct every proposal that is brought up by Democrats or bipartisan with Dem support
2. If you are running for office, tell what you will do. It need not be within the realm of the possible, just do not say how you will do it.
3. Everyone has the responsibility to criticize every decision the president makes. Call it illegal, un-American, job killing, anti civil liberties, pro Muslim, unconstitutional, racist, anti religion, naive, and you can be outrageous, as you want. You must do these twice every week.
4. At every opportunity talk about fixing health care, Social Security Medicare, Veteran's Affairs, international relations, job creation, education, infrastructure, wages, opportunity, with programs that actually work. Just do not elaborate.
5. When ever anything happens, blame this Administration, and Democratic Congress. No matter how absurd, give a reason why it is their fault.
6. Don't use the words "pro choice". Call it baby killing, "child Murderers "'
7. Create laws that tend to reduce minority voting. Particularly those against Blacks, Hispanics, and youth. The more of these groups that stay away, the more we can win.
8, talk impeachment at every chance you get. Any reason will do no matter how bizarre.
9. Talk take over of the government, taking back our country, taking over Washington.
10. Shower all races with the most negative ads in history. Repeat the most terrible lies often enough.

MY MOM. WORKS AT G.E.
Watching MSNBC I see dozens of General Electric ads letting us know what a wonderful company they are. These ads do not sell individual products. They are called "institutional" ads devoted to selling public relations extolling the corporate name. They want us to think they are a wonderful enterprise, steeped in technological genius and devoted to our well being; champions for the protection of our environment and they usually rave about their virtues as to being super employers.
In the several ads I saw this morning, a very cute young girl tells us that her mom makes underwater fans powered by the moon, airplanes that talk to each other and trains that are friends with trees. I admit, it is very homey and endearing. G.E. does also like making profits.
So, little girl, please have a sit-down with your mom and ask her to call the CEO of G.E. And ask him to start paying taxes in the U.S. since they are such wonderful corporate citizens.

THE UN-LOYAL OPPOSITION
In this blogging game, my stage name is Carl Stove.
I met with with my fellow national election losers and we decided that special measures were necessary because we'd never control all 3 branches of government based on doing things good for the American people.
I clearly showed all my favorite charts, the numbers of people we can count on to vote for even our most mentally unbalanced candidates. Folks, you know almost every Evangalist and similar Christian group voters are in our pocket, along with freaky red necks, dudes who get subsidies for no good reason, gun nuts, those named Bubba, people who dislike most blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians, old white folk, and other like minded stand-up citizens including financial types, insurance execs, and almost all Mormons, These are our base along with Zillionairs who want to buy, and are trying to buy our country.
I showed that we just need another few percent. A lousy few percent and we will control the Amerika. I love that spelling. The so-called middle class will never be in control again. Power, no, no, COMPLETE POWER is within reach.
What we do is in another blog along with how we do it. Stay tuned.

My Problem with Eric Cantor
I read a good deal of news feeds, attribute about 80% of my TV viewing to news stories, so I have have seen and read numerous of Eric Cantor's opinions. If he were just about any of the other republican leaders or wannabes, I would not be writing this blog. I have a theory about the others and will let the world know very soon. But this is devoted to Cantor, a guy who seems to smile, even laugh at his personal success in making sure we are not our brother's keeper, making sure all the government bills and programs that would help, just stagnate and die.
He seems perfectly good with families losing their home, going hungry, underfunding schools, police, fire fighters, denying infrastructure improvements including bridges that are dangerous. I think he is OK with poverty, no increase in minimum wage, unequal pay for the same job, bigotry in the work place. Oh he has excuses, albeit lame.
He seems OK with people not getting medical care, not funding Veteran needs and does not seem upset by the weekly shootings at children's schools. He seems OK with misogyny, Ok with the suffering of minority groups.
I am writing this blog because he should know better. I am simply upset because he is Jewish and as such, I think he should be his brother's keeper, he should champion the poor, the disenfranchised, the unemployed, the minorities. He should champion voting rights. Instead he chose power. Most will say he believes in this, but I think he is devoid of conscience like Shakespeare's Richard III.
If I am wrong, I apologize, but these are my opinions.
