This was timetobuildaboat's idea. Since we mostly doom and gloom (with good reason) around here, time thought it might be fun and beneficial for us to have an ongoing thread on which we can share these things with one another.

Someone else will have to go first. I'm still wracking my brain trying to think of something. :P

You commie weirdo. Do you think I miss the 90s, when I got raises around 10 percent every year, and had headhunters calling all the time? Bah, making a decent living makes you SOFT! I much prefer making less money, working much harder, watching my living expenses soar while my pay barely budges. Makes a man tough and lean!

Like our brave, honest, kindly, thoughtful, intellectual, adorable, handsome, forthright, straight-shooting President said, finally, our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is over. I know he said it, it was in the Onion.

Things are so much better now that we don't have to picture semen stains on the carpet in that back hall off the Oval Office. And we don't have to worry any more about that little sink where the president is said to have "relieved himself" in some way or other.

I am just so glad that we don't have a sexual predator in the White House. (Now we just have a plain old predator.)

At last, decency has been restored. The adults are in charge. Now we Americans can hold up our heads. Hillary can't make any more $1000 commodities "investments" and come out with a $100,000 return. No siree--those political people and their wives have to be scrupulously honest now! Can't you just feel the honesty? (All those indictments and SEC investigations and Abramoff this, Abramoff that, but boy Hillary sure paid politically for that huge sum of $100,000! Serves her right. Next thing you know she'd have been using eminent domain to seize land for a stadium, then sticking taxpayers with the bill for building it while walking off with millions!) And I'm sure no lonely government appointees in D.C. will have to commit suicide because "here, ruining people is considered sport." 'Cause they don't ruin people in D.C. any more! Everyone respects everyone else's point of view! Just ask Joe and Valerie Wilson, or Scott Ritter!

And... oh! Now that Hillary is not in any sort of power in the White House, I don't have to worry about nationalizing health care. Nope, I can enjoy the current system without a care in the world. It's so much more honorable to pay hundreds of dollars per month to have a $10,000 deductible before a penny of my family's health costs are paid. Sure, we might get sick and be unable to pay for treatment, but at least all those nice drug companies and hospitals and doctors don't have to worry about CREEPING SOCIALISM and COMMUNISM (BOOOOAHAHAHA!) making them have to get along on a paltry $1,000,000 per.

I feel so much cleaner. Nowadays all I have to worry about is having the government quite literally come and take my children and send them to die in a foreign country, or just some silly thing like being dragged off to a prison where I have no habeas corpus and where nobody ever reviews my imprisonment-- all because I was discovered to have said "I hate Bush/Cheney" on the internets. Or some nonsense about not being able to afford an antibiotic to treat a dogbite because it cost $250 for about 10 pills because drug companies are allowed to get all their profits at the front end. Wouldn't want any of those generic drugs to get about! And... having to one day walk into the Winn Dixie and find the shelves bare because the trucks that deliver the food couldn't afford to buy gas to transport it? Priceless.

That is EXACTLY where I am. A $ 10,000 deduct. For a healthy family of four, $3800 premium.

Ditto here on all points--except our premium is higher than that.

But then, I live in red state America. The repuke bastards have this state in their grubby fist. But whenever an insurance company is in danger of having to fulfill its obligations, or is in danger of being cheated out of a few hundred in premiums by some serf, our gallant state Supreme Court rides to the rescue.

And btw, Karl Rove played a pudgy hand in forming our state Supreme Court.
