  • Get Ready: President Obama’s State of the Union Address is Two Days Away | The White House

    http://m.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/18/get-ready-president-obama-s-state-union-address-two-days-away

    Okay, let’s see. I leave home around 0650, travel 80 miles per hour to cover 36.4 miles and arrive at work around 0730, and leave work around 1600 and make it home by 1650.

    Yeah, so what can y’all do to help me earn a little bit more to cover gasoline expenses, repair, and maintenance on an old 1998 Ford Mustang?

    That’s 360.4 miles per week and $50 for gasoline. I may need new sets of rubber wheels and frequent car washes, so I could slice through the air faster/better

    What can y’all do about improving bumpy roads and slow infrastructure to make sure I don’t sustain a broken axle or flat tires or get stuck in traffic?

    Huh. Fin.

  • New Actions to Reduce Methane Emissions Will Curb Climate Change, Cut Down on Wasted Energy | The White House

    http://m.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/14/new-actions-reduce-methane-emissions-will-curb-climate-change-cut-down-wasted-energy

    Yeah, wherever is making the skies look yucky, it’s gotta be fixed.

    Today’s horizon at my temp job from hell looks spiffy. Instead of the usual smoggy brownish muck, I see soft whiteness, bluish skies, and a few whitish chemtrails, going over/parallel to the eastern hills.

  • Email from Dan Pfeiffer: “Your Memo for the President” | The White House

    http://m.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/12/email-dan-pfeiffer-your-memo-president

    —

    1. Jobs, employment, work, wages, salaries. I like working, even if it pays moderately. I like working along side with stupid/crazy people at my temp job from hell.

    2. Criminals, crimes, prisons, Harris, courts, legal, law enforcement, security. I like to feel safe and secure both domestically and internationally. I like to see those out on the street to work in customer service, mail, delivery, agriculture, security. Those with criminal records need to be closely supervised on the job. Legal expertise is pretty much useless because we have the internet for resources. I believe in second chances and more.

    3. Bigotry and extremists. I expect ALL religious organizations, especially the Vatican, Islam, and those Semites, to come clean and about how they are sexually oppressed. I want them to relax their strict structures on attire, marriages, job positions, rituals. I want a full audit on those well-established cults, including Scientology and Mormonism. Criminals must be punished for past crimes and ongoing scams.

    4. Technology and environment. Rake the skies, lands, oceans clean off plastics and other contaminants. Stop over- producing.

    Oh, heck! Just advance this hellish planet to its next incarnation. I’m getting impatient. The general trend is working out thus far.

    Refer to my VERY old blog posts for other OLD ideas.

  • The President Announces New Actions to Protect Americans’ Privacy and Identity | The White House

    http://m.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/01/12/president-announces-new-actions-protect-americans-privacy-and-identity

    “If we’re going to be connected, then we need to be protected.”

    I like that jingle, which could have had a better beat/flow had he used the word “gonna”.

    Yeah, so who’s gonna protect us from the Freemasons, err, “them”? Huh?

    I’m using my smartphone as a primary source of news and other transactions. And I expect my stuff to be protected.

    Unfortunately, y’all can’t protect us from being/making stupid/crazy decisions.

    At 0322, I barely awoke to the gentle, rolling/rocking motion of an earthquake. Mutha called out to me twice and I responded to her. We both felt the earthquake indoors. She heard slight creaking noises but I didn’t. Then I urinated into the portable toilet upstairs and logged into the http://www.usgs.gov/ website to report my findings under the ‘Did you feel it?’

    But the page didn’t refresh properly and gave me a generic message that the page didn’t display. I tried twice to submit this report but it didn’t work. So I gave up and shared the page via my Tweeter account and linked the following http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc72282711#summary

    So yeah, I guess the government doesn’t want my INPUT! Because if it did, the damn website would have logged in my report. But no! I wasted my time thinking I was providing useful data. My stomach is hungry and I’m getting sleepy. Good morning, chumps!

    *Off-topic rant:

    Well, I don’t think America could possibly default by not paying its bills.

    What I did imagine earlier today was that America is too big/powerful to “borrow” from foreign nations/whatever. That’s like a bully taking candy from a baby.

    Businesses and governments can work together. I’m sure investors have something to do with this mess, too. I guess they don’t have all that much “Full Faith and Credit” anymore. That’s too bad.

    As mentioned in my old blog entry, we speculate/guess/assume that “premiums” paid into Obamacare scheme could probably/possibly help “fund” these potential “defaults” and possibly recoup wherever taxes are fall short as revenue to the government; since some people are under/unemployed – too poor to buy items and services.

    Finished reading a copy of a letter dated September 30, 2013 from the review and independent decision.

    Here are some educational informational:

    • Section 1862 (a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act
    • 42 Code of Federal Regulations Section 424.5 (a)(6)
    • Medicare Program Integrity Manual, Publication 100-8, Chapter 6, Section 20.6;
    • Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Publication 100-4, Chapteer 4, Section 29
    • CMS Ruling 1455-R
    • 42 Code of Federal Regulations Section 405.966
    • Section Security Act, Title 18, Section 1879
    • CMS Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Publication 100-4, Chapter 30, Section 40.1
    • http://www.hhs.gov/omha

    *Off-topic rant: I feel sorry for everyone – the government/Medicare, the businesses/providers, and the taxpayers/beneficiary. This is truly a “death panel”.

    So, the best course of action is to make sure Medicare/whatever covers items and services. Insist to go home within 24-hour as an outpatient beneficiary. Save your signed paperworks and log these medical/emergency incidences into your personal diary/journal, just in case the “transaction fell through” (TFT) the cracks. OR

    If you would rather die and/or save you/your family the headache/trouble of dealing with financial burdens, grin and bear it by refusing medical treatment/care/whatever. Good luck!

    https://www.healthcare.gov/quick-answers/#step-1

    I visited the site yesterday evening around 1800 PM. But the plan and cost information is not available until October 1, 2013. It only lists “Options You Might Be Eligible For”.

    The bottom-line: “YOUR ELIGIBILITY WILL DEPEND ON YOUR HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND FAMILY SIZE!!!”

    Here is the rough text of each page.
