Smokers have to pay higher insurance premiums, they’re talking about overweight people having to pay more. I firmly believe that gays should be required to pay significantly more based on the health risks they have chosen. Think anyone in congress would push that agenda?

Boycott Mozilla
There's a news story occupying the airwaves about the former CEO, Brendan Eich, of the web browser page, Mozilla. Six years ago Eich gave $1,000 in support of Prop 8 in California. It supported the idea that marriage is between a man and a woman. My God, what a far out and crazy notion. In California a law was enacted stating that a person giving over $100 in support of a cause must have their donation made public. Someone at the LA Times retrieved Eich's info and 'outed' him. Because of this Eich was forced out of his job. He was the co-founder of his company but now he's out of a job because he was perceived as being anti-gay when, in actuality he is pro-marriage. That's a huge difference.
And how did Eich discriminate in public against homosexuals:
—“I never saw any kind of behavior or attitude from him that was not in line with Mozilla’s values of inclusiveness,” says the company’s chairwoman, Mitchell Baker.
We, on the conservative side, are familiar with the fake diversity litany of the Far Left. There is no inclusion on their part. There is no free speech, no exchange of ideas, no ability to express ourselves without being castigated as out of the mainstream. In reality the Far Left is Facist in it's thinking and action. Let it be noted that the same year Eich supported Prop 8 the President of the United States did the same except on a national level.
One of these days there's going to be a backlash against those who repress free speech. In this case a man lost a very good job, a lucrative position because a group of gutless whiners came under the influence of our homosexual society, all 2% of them.
I can see the day in the not too distant future when I'll be expected to cower in fear and speak in hushed tones when asked about my Catholic faith. It could happen.

Real ObamaCare Numbers, Not 7.1 Million
A triumphant President Barack Obama declared Tuesday his signature medical insurance overhaul a success, saying it has made America’s health care system ‘a lot better’ in a Rose Garden press conference.
But buried in the 7.1 million enrollments he announced in a heavily staged appearance is a more unsettling reality.
Numbers from a RAND Corporation study that has been kept under wraps suggest that barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans – nowhere near 7.1 million – have paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night.
…The Affordable Care Act carried with it the promise of covering ‘every American,’ and it appears to have fallen tremendously short.
…The unpublished RAND study – only the Los Angeles Times has seen it – found that just 23 per cent of new enrollees had no insurance before signing up.
And of those newly insured Americans, just 53 per cent have paid their first month’s premiums.

Sometimes It's Good To Leave The House
It's that time of year in Dublin, Ohio. This morning I gave serious consideration to building my Ark. (Seriously), the rain came down beginning in the middle of the night and it hasn't let up. It wasn't going to ease up and thinking about it's potential flooding was (awesome) to consider. It doesn't matter to me if it's snow or rain. Both depress me. Eventually, I'll have had enough then trek out into civilization to be somewhere and see people. Shopping is a good example. Two nights ago I told the ex-wife(see blog 12-15-13) I was going crazy sitting on my rear end watching television reruns. I asked her if she wanted to go to the mall and look around. "Negative", said she. So, into my Mazda I did ride. The closest shopping area is called Tuttle Crossing Mall. It's smallish unlike the areas two larger ones, Polaris and Easton, located in Columbus. It's a mile from our home and since gas is around the $3.70 mark I opted for the shorter trip. A swell place to hang out for real men are sports memorabilia shops. At my age I'd never buy anything with an autograph on it. I'm in the process of giving my collectibles away. My grandchildren are going feel like they have gold doubloons in a couple of years. I hope they appreciate all the money I've spent on baseball cards, campaign buttons, marbles, old coins and things hobos wouldn't pick up off the streets. It's (amazing) how time flies when a guy finds a guy place. I was only gone for an hour but the owner was interesting. I was able to share a few stories about some of the men I knew whose names he had on his shelves. It was an hour well spent and once again I was mentally rejuvenated.
This morning I found myself driving back to Macy's at the same mall. There were ads in this morning's paper I thought were bogus but my curiosity got the best of me and off I went to Tuttle Mall . I figured the outrageously inexpensive clothing and shoe advertisements were in the paper to sucker me in the store . The prices might have been listed but I knew when I got there they'd be out of stock and I could mail order to be delivered later. This isn't my style. I want to get in and get out even if I have to trample old ladies and small children to get it done. This was when I realized a dramatic difference between men and women. My wife and her friends can go shopping at ten in the morning, have lunch, then shop until three and make ten calls on their cell phones. After that it's a hunting excursion like no safari has ever seen until six in the evening. They then bring home exactly nothing. Not one dime on clothing having been spent and the ex-wife will tell me how much fun they had. What's the point? I timed my trip so I arrived as the doors opened. Up the escalator I zipped taking two steps at a time and immediately spied the men's shop. I'm a sucker for shoes. There is no reason known to man why I have so many pair. It's ridiculous that I own five different styles of Converse All-Star low cuts. Last year I gave away four pair of Florsheim Imperial wingtips to the Kidney Foundation. A couple of these I hadn't worn for twenty years but they always looked good in my closet. Peering at those shoes made me feel as though I'd had a job on the New York Stock Exchange.
I'm also a hoarder of things. When we were at my mother's funeral visitation last month there were hundreds of family pictures on a table. One of then showed my ex-wife, myself along with my then very young children. It was taken around 1979. Well, I was showing it to different folks when my nephew said, "Hey, Uncle MJ, you're wearing the same tie tonight you were in the picture". And then everyone laughed at Mr. Dufus. The next day I went to downtown Boone and bought a different bland blue one, the cheapest I could find; one that one set me back $35 dollars for a piece of cloth! When we got back to Ohio I looked in my closet and there was the same exact tie as the one I bought in Iowa. I hate when that stuff happens.
Today, in the course of one hour I purchased a pair of $80 dollar Alfani loafers for $25 and two sport coats by Ralph Lauren. The list on the jackets was $350 each but Ol' MJ snaked them out of Macy's for $53 apiece. Better yet, I schmoozed with the saleslady and she gave me another 20% discount. If you go to Macy's ask for Susan. She's a peach. I then left Macy's with a smile on my face. Had it been women shopping they'd still be talking about which bracelet is cuter and looking forward to their latte's with five more hours of boredom shopping and wearing blisters on their feet. As for me, I returned home, assumed the prone position and did what I do best---nap. It's what men are supposed to do and we do it very well.

Ft. Hood Still A Gun Free Zone
Barack Obama termed the 2009 Islamic terrorist attack – workplace violence.
Complete lunacy.
After the first mass killing nothing changed. Fort Hood is still a gun-free zone. President Bill Clinton’s gun-free policies are still in place.
Today there was another mass shooting at Fort Hood.
Soldiers were told to take cover and hide like cowards as a crazed gunman shot at least 14 Americans on base.
The shooter, Ivan Lopez, then shot himself in the head.
These deaths are the result of failed policies.
These deaths are the result of a dangerous “gun free zone” policy.
The Obama administration is responsible for this mass shooting.
They witnessed this before. They didn’t learn a thing.
Gun free zones are death zones. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/04/barack-obama-is-responsible-for-latest-fort-hood-murders-a-gun-free-zone/

Barack Takes Bull By Horns
Count on the President to be front and center when a domestic tragedy occurs. Commenting on the latest Ft. Hood shooting the prez stated: "We're going to get to the bottom of this". (See Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious)
Obama was on his was to a Chicagoland $32,400 fund raiser so the "getting to the bottom" statement was the extent of his proclamation. http://weaselzippers.us/181572-obama-heads-to-32400-per-head-fundraiser-after-giving-statement-on-ft-hood-shooting/

Obama Admin. Running Dangerous Tests On Humans
The Environmental Protection Agency has been conducting dangerous experiments on humans over the past five years in order to justify more onerous clean air regulations.
The agency conducted tests on people with health issues and the elderly, exposing them to high levels of potentially lethal pollutants, without disclosing the risks of cancer and death, according to a newly released government report.
