Tonys, tricks and treats
71Boy has the hope and change crowd got a trick for you !
Happy Halloween ? Eating candy might not get you health coverage !
Happy Halloween to all of you hubbers and your families ! I hope you and your little ghouls and goblins are having a splendid time as I myself am preparing to dispense sugar to youngsters later this evening . That Is of course predicated on the proposition that I am not going to be arrested for contributing to childhood obesity . Or have a lawsuit against me because I favor Snickers bars over Three Musketeers which someone found to be offensive . So hopefully I am able to accomplish my objective here and give you a hub that makes you wince and hopefully chuckle at the same time . I will do my best to keep It brief as I do not want to leave to large a carbon footprint and have an additional penalty added to my cap and trade taxes . But enough with the formalities and pending litigation , we are here to have fun right ? So on we go with a couple of tricks for you to put Into your environmentally friendly and carbon neutral Halloween bags for the kids !
Transparent Government now here Is a trick !
As most of you who were not Involved with watching " Dancing with the Stars " or twittering about what you had for breakfast today are aware , Nancy Pelosi and congress have been kind enough to assemble for us a 1,990 page healthcare bill that according to the Congressional Budget Office should approximate a total cost of $ 1,055. Trillion . Now I for one would love to share with you the exact details of this legislation , however I have run Into a small snafu . None of us are allowed to see this bill ! I guess the fact that you and I and our kids and our grandbabies and our great great granbabies are going to be paying for this proved to be somewhat Irrelevant . But oh what the hell ? Why should I be a killjoy and ruin this womans possible crowning acheivement which Is going to be the final nail In the coffin of American solvency . Let her and Harry have their party ! I mean who am I to question whether I have to pay for abortion with my tax dollars ? That Is just simply Nazi thinking right ? I gotta say I am really diggin the way this transparent Government stuff Is working out . How bout you ?
How to cheat and get ahead !
As most of you know I wrote a humble little hub about Charles Rangel and how he did not declare nearly 4 million In Income on his taxes and then still gets to write our tax code . Well what has transpired since that time has not surprised me In the least , absolutely nothing ! As usual the theives get away with It and now there Is gonna be an Investigation Into 8 members of congress for various violations of ethics Including (D) John Murtha , (D) Peter Visclosky ,(D) James Moran , ( D) Norm Dicks and ( D ) Maxine Waters , but hold on Republicans dont get to smug because also under Investigation are (R) Bill Young and ( R) Todd Tiahrt several of whom are on the defense appropriations committee . I am not going to elaborate as to why they will be Investigated , because does It really matter ? They are all going to get the same treatment every other politician gets when they are In violation of ethics . It will just dissapear , and they will escape like the great Houdini and we will go about our lives like nothing has happened . Because we dont care about accountability and responsibility anymore , It Interrupts our busy schedule and besides you dont want to miss the latest episode of HOUSE , that would be a major Inconvenience ! So nice trick to get your name In the papers guys !
Well this Is kinda like a treat ! Sorta
Well for me personally I am kinda gettin a treat here . Gavin Newsom has decided to step out of the California Governors race and I for one could not be happier . As he and I are just polar oppisites In Ideology and outside of the Bay Area quite frankly Is not all that well thought of . So thank you Gavin as I was pondering where I would go when I left my beloved California when you took office . So I personally feel like I am getting a stay of execution with you out of the Governors picture . Thanks loads I will be happy to send you a snickers bar In a cute little environmental friendly bag as a parting gift !
But wait a minute ! This poses for me my next question . What If they had a Governors race and there was no one on the ballot ? All we got left Is Jerry Brown who as far as I am concerned had his biggest accomplishment 30 years ago when he dated Linda Ronstadt while she was a hottie ! Aside from that he has completely abandoned the majority of Californians by failing to execute his responsibilities In office . Mostly In regards to representing the people of California In court who passed Prop 8 . But at least he Is going to make a half assed attempt at looking Into ACORN and their violations here In the state . But I am sure ACORN will be treated like any dirty congressman and just Ignored . Then In the Republican Party the leading contender Is Meg Whitman who was to lazy to even vote In elections because she was busy running a business and raising kids . I guess when you are uber rich It does not matter who Is In office out here . You still get your piece of the pie right ?
Hope you have a good one !
One thing I am accutely aware of Is nobody likes a wet blanket . However I just feel the need to vent sometimes as I see Insanity going on around me all the time and In my mind If you do not stand against It , you are co-signing on It ! But for now I am gonna get my costume prepared as I get ready to greet the cute little ghouls and goblins that will be arriving at my doorstep . I am simply going to give them candy bars Instead of an oratory on how they are gonna be saddled with Immense debt , because I refuse to ruin their Halloween and I want them to have fun . Besides I do not want to be known as the bad neighbor ! So Happy Halloween to one and all and GO CHARGERS !!!

Happy Halloween Tony! May all the ghosts that haunt you get swallowed up in the next big earthquake (no anywhere where near you of course!)! Come to paradise and chill a bit! Am giving away Chocolate covered Macadamia nuts.
IV I ma on my way sweetie . Chillin In Hawaii always sounds like a great Idea to me. And on top of that I like choclate Macadamia nuts so I guess Its win win for me !:D
Happy Halloween, Tony!
To my advisor thank you and I wish you the same .
I'm the Grinch of Halloween, so I won't be passing out candy. Happy Halloween to all.........
Hi jiberish . I will be passin out some candy for a little while , I dont want to be the bad neighbor ! But the next door neighbors are havin a small party maybe I can finagle a beer out of them . It Is one of my many talents !:D
Although I confess that as a child I like going out on holloween all the way up into my teens.I'm all grown up and now realize how much harm all that candy did to me.I can understand a treat now and then ,but at holloween we usually ate too much candy and even got sick.I'm not judging ,just thought I'm add my two cents.Which was what we got sometimes from people on holloween. BOO!
Tony, Tony...Tony (sigh) Happy Halloween!
ps. your right though =D Thanks for keeping me up to date! I cannot believe I just agreed with you--I must not be feeling well ; ]
somonewhoknows now ya got my feeling guilty ! I am gonna have to run to the store now and get some organic vegetables to give to the children !
AIDY I am gettin to ya arent I? However I encourage you to enjoy your Halloween In spite of me . You are finally startin to see the light I feel encouraged .
Tony, great hub and just got back myself from walking around with the grandkids and the rest of the family (yea it was a big crwod). I must say that not a day goes by that we hear something more about this administration. I guess I should be happy that we are still hearing it. Vent all you like, we got your "keyboard."
And ehern33 I thank you for your participation and I hope the grandkids had a wonderful time !
Hey Tony. I'm here to wish you a Happy Halloween and say I enjoyed your rant. The honest-to-God truth is politics corrupts. I think there are some decent, ethical men and women in Washington. Please do not ask me to name them:-)!
Hope none of your little trick or treaters has a peanut allergy and goes into anaphalactic shock because of the Snickers. That's why I stick with candy corn!
MM I had not factored In the likelihood of peanut allergies and I am now pondering If I should have went with Milky Ways Instead I just hope I do not offend the peanut farmers out there ! I can name one decent and honest politician , Ron Paul but he was not photogenic enough for all of us I guess. And by the way Candy Corn was a good call . And you know I wish you a happy halloween evening to my friend . Thx for dropping by and sharing your thoughts . Luv Ya .
Great hub, Keep up the good work!

Oh how I love you and your many rants! That's why I love ya! lol
Hope you had a good weekend my friend!
Hi JJ !Glad you liked my little rant there ! Just had to blow off some steam .
I like Three Muskeeters better! I guess it's FO for us then? LOL Your hubs keep me grounded and in touch with the world.
Btw, I'm still waiting for that Echo and the Bunnymen hub. And Kajagoogoo! :D
Cris I love Three Musketeers to and have made a note of your request ! Youtube won,t let me download " Too Shy " though , Bummer ! :(
Quite a range of topics; healthcare,obesity, Pelosi & Reid, Charlie Rangel & crowd, Dancing with the Stars, twitter, prop 8, newsom, j brown, ACORN, Snicker & 3 Musketeers, Chargers, and mostly the very exciting day for children named Halloween. All of which covers only a miniscule part of what seems to be going on in our world today. It's almost too much to absorb. Venting is good!
mnova venting is what I am known for around these parts. I doubt I will ever get an ulcer as i am incapable of holding things In ! But I try to stay somewhat humorous , life is serious enough , you gotta laugh a little bit ! Thx for dropping by .
