Do The Math!

Good morning fellow breakfastpoppers. Today is Fairy Tale Friday, November 20, in the year 2009. Let us prepare a fine breakfast and head for the secret grove, by the babbling brook in the Garden of the People. We have something of great importance to discuss. Bring a writing tablet and a feather pen with you.

Now to our recipe of the morning, A Tart of Onions. Please go to your larder and procure 1 medium onion, 6 eggs, 1/2 pound of grated mozzarella, a pinch of saffron ( I know, it's so expensive) and a pinch of salt. Beat the eggs and other ingredients and pour into an unbaked pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for about one hour, until the top is lightly browned. Bring the tart with you to our "special place" because our business could take some time.

Welcome my friends. I have some reading material I would like to hand out to all of you. We now have in our possession, the "Book of Lies" which the King uses to spin his rubbish and mess up our already messed up lives. Outside the castle walls, the book is described as the New Math, a code name for the Book of Lies. Let us turn to Chapter 1.

Chapter 1 is entitled "Adding and Subtracting the Kingdom Way". "When it pertains to matters of the state, like important bills passed by the Congress, addition and subtraction will work like this. If a health care bill that we pass is going to cost 1 trillion dollars over 10 years, we say the following: The original cost of the bill is 1 trillion, less the cost of insuring senior citizens, less the cost of paying for mammograms and PSA tests and colonoscopies and heart transplants and hip replacements and Viagra. The end result is a brilliant piece of legislation that will return gob's of gold to the the King's coffers . In this case adding is really subtracting, a principle that can be applied over and over again as needed".

"For example, suppose our Generals in the field request an infusion of troops to fight our foreign wars. We inform the Generals that help is on the way. We make a big announcement throughout the Kingdom that 40,000 of the Kingdom's finest soldiers are being deployed. Here's the catch. We only "say" we are sending 40,000 additional troops, but in actuality we do nothing. Perception is everything. In this case 40,000 equals zero! If the Generals say that the troops have not arrived, just advise them to look around, they must be somewhere".

Chapter 5 is a real eye opener. The Kingdom is planning on sending every senior citizen a gold piece worth $500. Since no one over the age of 65 will be entitled to healthcare , the King believes that a $500 piece of gold will compensate for the lack of care. Do the math, the Kingdom's coffers swell with the money saved from not treating our elderly and it only costs a mere $500 to shut Granny up. This is definitely a no-brainer.

By chapter 6 our tarts begin to get stale and our hearts are filled with dread. The King has betrayed us once again with his lies and distortions. At the moment we are powerless to stop him, but we are on to his devious and diabolical ways and we will prevail. We must endure because our lives depend upon it and our loved ones are depending upon us to save the day.

Join me in a call to the people of the Kingdom to unite and stop the King and his band of ugly thieves..

We must, we must

We must decry his lust

It's gold he craves

He'll make us slaves

We'll turn his dreams to dust!

Shout it out now, sing it high now, sing it low now, the evil King must go now....POP...


The End.

Morning Pop, That would be a great fairy tale and it is charming to read except it parallels reality so closely. My, my what the Kings subjects to do? I believe I have lost my appetite.

Pop,

I'm not sure if it's not already too late to stop the evil King. His minions are many and they hold positions of high power. They don't care about any of the people. They just call us names and ignore our wishes.

We need a super hero to vanquish the King and his minions to save OUR GREAT COUNTRY. The AMERICAN CONSTITUTION is way too important to throw on the dust bin of history!!!!!

Good morn Tom,

How goes it? I do believe you are right. We need the anti- Obama! Let the search begin....

Another great one! Actually the Book of Lies Math first surfaced in 1995 when Calypso Louie Farrakhan used it to count the number of participants in his 1,000,000 man march. It became known as Million Man Math Made Easy. It is only logical to assume this bunch would seize upon these tried and true techniques when justifying the cost of their proposed Social Programs or pulling the wool over the eyes of their adoring subjects while denying urgent request from the military and of course, it’s readily used to dupe those among us who experience numerous senior moments daily!

Fox aptly referred to it as the "old bait and switch". A guy referred to as LBJ in his day told Americans we had the enemy 3 to 1, a ball face lie and reverse mathematics and we need to remember how that worked for us.....

"Less Viagra"? Surely they won't do away with that! It's my understanding that the nursing homes use it extensively to put the old guys to bed. They give them a glass of warm milk and Viagra at bed time, the milk puts them to sleep and the Viagra keeps them from rolling out of bed....

I heard this was working and with only 1 fatality, seems one old codger was determined to roll over and grabbed the rail and jerked real hard in order to roll over and poll vaulted out a 3rd story window..... killed him......

You my friend are funny and smart and very, very wise. Perhaps you can come forth as the anti-Obama? Ponder this over the week-end...

POP: This looks like my geometry text book from high school - Our King Teleprompter is using all the angles.

This disgusts me - I'm off to the bar right now. I'll save seats and I'm buying....

Dear 50 caliber,

That's it, you win the jackpot of the day , the week, the year. Love your Viagra story. It feels so good to laugh the way I am. Thank you my friend. But alas, tis true no more Viagra. The government, according to what I read, will be handing out popsicle sticks and tape!!

Have a great week-end. I think I may print your comment and carry it in my wallet.....

Pop,

I just must admit I love 50 caliber's viagra story so much I almost cried. It brought tears to my eyes.

I also heard this morning that the College of ObGyn are lowering their standards on pap smears. I seems the evil King is getting more and more minions.

Bartender the drinks are on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BPOP it just goes to show how bad the Kingdoms schools have gotten when Harvard Math catches up with public school math, and neither can agree with the 'old' or the 'new' math of lore. Just hope the Inn Keeper starts using this math so we can show him how 30-40 drinks should only cost what 3-or 4 were last week. This could be a long Party!

And yea our women folk are heading into the 'valley' of Obammacare, with cancers cannon to the right of them, left of them, and up the middle, Forward our 'Fair brigade'! Be not Afraid! You gotta die of somethin'!

See ya all at the Inn! Whiskey for my men and Beer for my horses! A toast to our 'Fair Brigade! As they prep for the Charge!

Pop-I enjoyed the poem at the end. I was unfortunately not too surprised to see the new pap smear recommendations from the bureaucrats trying to help us die faster and be sick less. Remember FL congressman Grayson? I think he had his reasoning confused and he actually meant the dems want us to "die quickly". At least with their new screening guidelines, we should be able to die more quickly. Remember too, cancer rates will fall drastically because so many will be undiagnosed until it is too late for treatment. I wonder if BO has reached out to the hospice organization, because they will see a big increase in those needing end-of-life care.

Dear Tom,

I know 50 caliber started my day off perfectly. The new guidelines on cervical cancer screening are just another stupid example of putting something or somebody between a patient and their doctor. That's where the decision belongs. See you at the bar..

Dear Hmrjmr,

The Kingdom is going to hell in a hand basket (what is a hand basket, anyway). We need to rid ourselves of the evil one and find the anti-Obama. You should consider leading the charge...

Dear Sheri,

So far these are just guidelines. I have every confidence that if enacted into our insurance, women and men who care will rise up as one and turn this around. Have a great week-end despite all the lousy news.

Pop, the more I read the more I want to go back to sleep. This math is the new trend don't ya see. Great to collect profits for the first 3-4 years and expense out only the last 6-7 years. Could I get a job collecting my salary for the first 4 years before I start to work? No wonder we are broke.. See ya at the bar, need to hear some more jokes from 50 Cal..

Dear Ehern,

None of this makes sense, as you explain so beautifully. Let's just cut to the quick, head to the bar and talk things over. At the very least 50 caliber will make us laugh........

definitely new standards in this evil regime. Pop, any clue on what all the bowing to emperors and sheiks is all about? Is it a return to the ole days of yore when slaves bowed to their evil masters?

WOW! A POET TOO! Is there NO END TO YOUR TALENTS!? Seriously - can you believe this nightmare of a bill? Maybe I'm believing in pie-in-the-sky things - but I'm still hoping that with the next election we can throw most if not all of their sorry butts out and get some people with a pair each - who will repeal this whole thing! Am I wrong? Can this happen???

Dear cj,

I think we have to defeat this thing before it is enacted. Once it's in, we are pretty much doomed.
