Good morning, all! Once again, we've reached that time of the week, that special time of the week, when the blog becomes your bitch-pad. What's on your mind, folks? Your Attorney General got you down? Your life lost all meaning because a man you never met who gave really good electronics show pitches is dead?
Good Lord man. Center stage at BFFFL. You can Ill afford to lose readers. Get rid of that horrid picture. Who is that fat bastard anyway?
ReplyDeleteI have to imagine that the current reisdents of the White House are tickled pink over the occupy wall street movement that the liberal news networks (I repeat myself) are giddily calling "viral.". So we have a bunch of SEIU led illegal immigrants, college students who apparently ran out of beer money, and whomever the former ACORN workers could bus in claiming that Wall Street is the root of all their outcomes in life. One of the reasons I loved serving in the Navy is that it was a society where each member was accountable for his or her own decisions and the outcomes of those decisions. One could not claim that a building such as the Pentagon or a street such as Wall made him or her fail to perform his or her assigned duties. Or made her get drunk and trash a taxicab or him get into a fight with a bartender. Or made a ship run aground, etc, etc. I miss being surrounded by that society all the more when I see the depth and breadth of just the opposite in our broader public society.
ReplyDeleteIs that you Mudge? Lookin' like an old bullfrog.
ReplyDeleteDamn shame you ain't perdy like me.
You loved being in the Navy because the Government took care of you and you didnt have to make any decisions on your own.
ReplyDeleteUncle Willie wants to know why hearing aids still cost thousands of dollars. With the birth of all the new electronic gadits like iphone, ipad, ipod, cell phones that take pictures, smart phones, blackberrys, GPS's, and 4-G's all loaded with electronics a simple hearing aid has only two simple parts a receiver and an amplifier most made and assembled overseas with child labor. None of the big shot congress people want to check into the resoning because any member of congress who is hard of hearing are given sample units for free to use at their needs. This is the biggest scam purpatrated on seniors and veterans. Check out an assisted care facility and see how many of the folks can't hear and can't afford the price of a hearing device.
ReplyDeleteWe'll cover this once again, Willy. The devices you cite each act as delivery mechanisms for future revenue streams. Hearing aids, once purchased, generate no additional revenue.
ReplyDeleteHey CW, know anything about material cost? The total cost of all hearing aid parts is not more than $45 and if the FDA allowed WalMart, Kmart and the like to handle sales rather than an a licensed autoiologist (requirement to be an autoiologist-high school grad) one could purchase them for less than $150, and my name is spelled Willie.
ReplyDeleteCOME AGAIN?
ReplyDeleteYou slay me, Anon. Heh heh. Did you come up with that one all by yourself? No decisions in military...wooo! That's so rich Obama should tax it.
