From loyal Obama Democrat!

As I understand it, the new K&N elephant production has the entire cast on their knees bowing (similar to the photo below) to the baby elephant "Barack".
Being a loyal Obama Democrat, I may find myself rushing down to the arena floor to join in (LOL)!

I heard that the lady manager of the Gold Unit got shit-canned yesterday due to a poor attitude.
Sounds like a cat fight to me.

Bad enough that I'm going to have to buy mandatory health insurance or go to jail...Does this mean an oil change will be mandatory too?

Happy New Year to all.

Gold Unit manager...hmmm...there's a guy named Rider looking for work now that his meal ticket has been canceled by the court...

When conservetive talk show host Rush Limpbag recently suffered chest pains, he was provided the very best in hospital care. He is fortunate to have access to a large bank account, and a good health insurance program.

How many of our wonderful circus friends, with little or no health insurance would be in a finacial crisis should such a medical emergency occur to them or a family member?

It's not perfect, but President Obama's health insurance reform bill will certainly benefit a lot of circus people!

Hoping all my circus friends have a safe, healthy, and happy 2010!

Jimmy,
We could have chosen to be Conservative talk show host's, and Rush could have chosen to be a circus performer. Nobody is owed anything, because of the choice they made. We have a right to what we can earn, no more, no less.
Happy New Year,
Wade Burck

Phillip Gandey and I had a circus in England which we started in 1989. Everyone on the show had health insurance (including this "yank"). Phillip made money, I made money, and everyone on the show was well paid. Sure the National Health Service in the UK has faults, but what a relief to have it.

I live in an area with several retired Brits. There are lots of things that they can complain about current day England but not the medical system. It seems to just fair for routine check-ups but very quick and efficent if they find serious problems. (Of course none of my neighbors are doctors.)

As to the Nobel Prize: Even some of us Democrats think it might be a little premature. But sometime you get a positive response to your act when you know it wasn't at its best. We probably just smile a graciously accept it.

In fairness, figures today noted that even with the recession health care costs continued to rise in the double digits last year. It may be that someday a single payer system like Canada or the UK will be the only way to insure all but the most well to do of Americans. And it's true that plenty of circus families would benefit from affordable insurance. It doesn't necessarily speak well for anybody when somebody connected with a show has to go to an ER in the midwest and pulls out an OK medicaid card, since that indicates living below the poverty line. However, there were several alternatives to the present bill that were excluded from the mix. We're still not capping malpractice. We're still not allowing inexpensive drugs to be imported from elsewhere (and druigs from Europe and Canada are as safe as our own) and we haven't tried capping premiums (with higher annual deductibles.) The one really good thing about the present bill is that helps anyone with a preexisting condition. The bad thing is that by making it mandatory to buy health insurance, as you would car insurance the bill criminalizes irresponsible behavior and much like seatbelt laws or motorcycle helmet laws it could be argued that stupidity alone shouldn't be a crime.

Ringling has named an elephant Barack, and the First Lady is featured in a PETA ad, apparently without her permission? Go figure!
