Michelle Obama appeared on the Jay Leno show last night. Among other things, she revealed that the Obama dog had a nice birthday party: “The Portuguese water dog feasted on a cake shaped like a dog house that was made out of veal.”
Come on, lefties! Where is the outrage. We have homeless people eating dog food and the Obamas are feeding their dog veal. According to this CBS4 report, the federal government is insisting the owners of a local shop license their dog because he likes to sleep in the storefront window.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal Welfare Division says the dog “is an exhibit, like zoo or circus animals.”
The dog’s owner, and small businessperson, says, “I’m upset that our government resources are being wasted in this way.”
We all are, sir, we all are.
Just wait until these soulless functionaries get to decide how to spend health care resources.
(A tip of the hat to Complete Colorado for the link. Complete Colorado is your single best stop for Colorado news.)
Once again, the incompetent bureaucracy of the government at all levels is demonstrated.
The headline from today’s Denver Post: “Delays plague HUD grants.”
The article states that “Denver won federal funds to buy foreclosed houses a year ago but to no avail.”
It continues:
Housing experts who have studied the $6 billion Neighborhood Stabilization Program, meant to shore up American communities hit hardest by the recession, say similar problems in other cities show a dense bureaucracy delaying a good idea. Even if one buys the premise that the program is “a good idea,” it is impossible to separate the “good idea” from the bureaucracy.
If government takes over healthcare, we can look forward to the this same level of service from the soulless functionaries put in charge.
I don’t think Denver Post columnist Tina Griego would disagree with being characterized as “liberal.” But even she, inherently, understands the problem with government control of any program. In today’s column, “Panel’s hard knocks may open doors,” she writes:
“I’ve spent too much time in poor neighborhoods watching people drown in myriad contradictory and confusing government policies…” And yet, knowing this, and acknowledging this, liberals want the same government to take over health care in the entire country.
According to the Denver Post, at a recent town hall on health care, Senator Michael Bennet “used Veterans Affairs as an example of a public insurance program that is working for one group of people.” So he wants all of us to be able to get medical care like that given at Walter Reed Hospital, where “Soldiers face neglect, frustration at Army’s top medical facility.”
