President Obama said last week that AARP was on-board and in support of his Government-Run Health Care Plans. The President of AARP later tried to back away from that statement, but the organization now admits that it supports the Plan and goes on to justify their position by relaying they have only lost 50,000 as a result of their support and that 400,000 people renewed their memberships or signed up, while they normally also lose 300,000 members per month.
COMMENTS:
What this all means to me is that they lost 350,000 members since Obama’s pronouncement. Yes, 400,000 may have renewed or signed up, but I don’t know how that figure changes my math. If you have a national organization losing 350,000 members in one month and normally 300,000 members, that adds up to 3,650,000 members lost this year. Make that 3,650,001 for this year; after 15 years of membership, I’m canceling mine and joining the 60 Plus Association, that has views on this and other issues that are closer to mine. (www.60plus.org). If you decide to cancel, don't forget to ask for a refund of the unused portion of your membership.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I know you can go to one of several websites to get prior history on a used car. Why don’t they do that for animals? (Tina – Primm, NV)
A. Members of Congress already have their histories on their own websites and in bar rooms and brothels all over the country. Actually, there’s a new service in Michigan known as “Catfax,” that provides background info on felines. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Most-Recommended-Photos/ss/1750/im:/090817/480/c804a78ab46343daa84b80857791aca8
Q. I hear that there were thousands of Indians living in Arizona and New Mexico in cliff dwellings hundreds or thousands of years ago who just up and disappeared one day, leaving behind their belongings and cooking utensils and everything. Why did they leave and where did they go? (Chaz – Prescott, AZ)
A. They were opposed to the new Government-Run Health Care Plan. Only ACORN knows what happened to them.
Q. I read that the Black Panthers were at some polling places during the November elections and that they were intimidating voters. What’s the story on that? (Wally – Fairfax, VA)
A. They were ticked off that they couldn’t get a job in a Vegas disappearing act. Actually, I only know of one polling place where this happened, and they were subsequently arrested, charged, prosecuted, found guilty…. And had the charges against them dropped and they were released by Attorney General Rahm Emanuel, who has since stone-walled questions on the issue. That's a fact.
