A couple of fun things just came up in Jamie Dupree's segment of the Information Overload hour. Someone has set up a fun ant-Alan Grayson site: mycongressmanisnuts.com. And then there's this footage of a Fox News reporter chasing Grayson down the hall trying to get a comment:
That's the only explanation for this Florida congressman's completely bizarre behavior. I don't care whether he is (as he will remind you every time he gets a chance) a Harvard educated trial lawyer. The man has a screw loose.
Can you believe this moron? You people in Central Florida have a lot of work to do ... getting this guy out of office next November. I hope that Alan Grayson serves as a severe reminder that elections have consequences.
Yesterday you heard me ranting and raving about Alan Grayson's comment that he made on the floor of the House. He said something to the effect of "Republicans want you to die quickly." Yep, that's about the most intelligent argument he could come up with.
So many people have called for Grayson to apologize. Screw apologize. There is only one way to really take care of this creep and that is to vote his butt out of office. But until then, you have to put up with this clown. And now it is looking like he is doing it just for show. Just to get attention. I say that because of his ridiculous "apology" that he issued yesterday about his comments. Instead of saying that he was sorry of accusing Republicans of wanting people to "die quickly," he mockingly and sarcastically gave an apology to "the dead."
Here's the quote: "I would like to apologize," he said. "I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America."
Yes, folks. You read that right. Alan Grayson DID just compare our healthcare system in America to the holocaust. To the systematic killing of six million people. He compared Hitler's genocidal attempt to wipe out the Jewish people to the American system of health care. Hitler's concentration camps are our hospitals. Our intensive care units compare to Hitler's gas chambers. Hitler's wrist tattoos are our hospital ID bracelets.
You can't really accurately convey the outrage of Grayson's statements. The only reasonable conclusion you can draw here is that Alan Grayson is mentally disturbed. Nothing else works.
In the meantime, the Jewish vote will continue to go Democrat.
What a footstool ... I use the Haaaaaarvard trial lawyer bit to remind you that he will remind you of that every time you meet him.
In case you don't know this idiot, Grayson is a freshman Democrat Congressman from Central Florida. If the voters of central Florida have any sense at all this nut job will serve one term and that will be it.
Well ... here's the latest on Grayson. During an after-hours speech on the floor of the House yesterday Grayson had this to say about the Republican's approach to health care: "If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly,"
Hear that? That's the Republican health care plan. Just die as fast as you can as soon as you get sick.
Now I realize that Obama's media myrmidons won't give the Republicans any credit for their health reform plans, so maybe Grayson just missed these points. Wanting people to be able to buy their health insurance across state lines means you want them to die, right? Wanting people to be able to deduct the cost of their health insurance they way their employers do means you want them to die, right?
Know what? I really don't have to spend a lot of time on this one, do I. You already have all the information you need to have to completely understand how underserved the good people of central Florida by having this moron in the congress. I expect they'll change that next year.
Florida governot Charlie Crist is now on record as saying that Barack Obama will not be reelected in 2012. Hopefully he is right. Let's all remember, though, that if Obama does fail to win reelection it will be for one simple reason ... and only one. Racism. There is no possible reason on the face of the earth not to support Obama for a second term. You're a racist. Simple as that. An Obama defeat in 2012 will be all the proof the world knows to know that America truly is a racist nation. Never mind that he was elected in 2008. We just didn't realize he was black then ... right?
The Neal Boortz show is broadcasting all this week from the radio studios at Disney Hollywood Studios in Orlando! If you're in the park come on by and gawk at the strange looking man with the headphones! No ... Belinda isn't here. So if that's who you're coming to see, get in line for a ride instead.
Well first, let's deal with this town hall meeting held by Central Florida Democrat Alan Grayson last night. Grayson chose a local IBEW union hall for the meeting. The meeting room could hold no more than 120 people. Now that's the way to reach out to your constituents congressman! What's more, immediately before Grayson's meeting local Democrats were holding a meeting in the same town hall. This meant that many of the people - actually, most of the people who showed up to make their objections to ObamaCare known found the meeting room already filled with Democrats who had just finished their meeting. The looters stayed, of course, for the Grayson town hall. Don't really need to say much more about this one ... I think you get the picture, and I think that Alan Grayson is probably a one-term Democrat.
Meanwhile another Florida Democrat, Congressman Alan Boyd, held three town hall meetings on Monday. Here we seem to have a Democrat who actually wants to hear from his voters. Boyd is now saying that maybe we should just scrap the whole ObamaCare plan and start over. He cannot, he says, support the bill as it is now.
I've also had some time to study the so-called co-op plan now being touted by some Democrats. Sorry, but I'm not impressed. I think in the final analysis this idea for state-run co-operative health insurance companies is just another way to run the private health insurance companies out of business and move to a single-payer plan.
If you're still out there thinking that the Democrats are actually wringing their hands out of concern for the quality and availability of health care, I don't know what to say to you. Some people are just more gullible than others. Hopefully more and more Americans are recognizing that the issue here is control, not health care. Clearly if the looters were concerned about quality and availability they would be looking to the private sector. Argue all you want, but there has never been a better mechanism devised by man to deliver needed goods and services to the general public than the free market --- and you have to look long and hard to find any respect paid to the free marketplace in any of the Democrat plans being tossed about Washington.
Single-payer means one thing -- government control. Just who do you think the single-payer would be? If all medical bills are paid by one entity ... whether they're bills for visits to the doctor, prescription drugs, hospital stays or imaging services ... if those bills are to be approved and paid by one entity (single-payer) then that entity controls health care. That entity decides what gets paid for and what does not, and it decides who gets paid and who does not. That's absolute control, and that's what the left is after. The sooner the people in this country awake and see this monster at the foot of their beds, the safer we all are.
Oh ... Let's hold off on all that blather about how good this ObamaCare dustup is for the Republican party. From where I sit and run my mouth the GOP can't claim any credit for ObamaCare's problems at all. I have yet to see a comprehensive Republican bill offered to respond to the Democrat's efforts. If there is such a bill, I'm not aware of it, and that in itself is a problem.
For all of my listeners at WDBO in the Orlando area, listen up. You elected this pathetic excuse for a Congressman, Alan Grayson. Here's your chance to have some face-time. Now today is Monday August 17th and the health care town hall is tonight. But Jamie Dupree points out the fact that Alan Grayson set this town hall meeting yesterday. Yep, you have approximately one day's notice to show up at this event. Do you think it could have anything to do with the fact that Grayson knows what would happen if he gave you people even more time to plan to attend? The guy is a lot of things, but he definitely isn't an idiot ... he knows that there are a lot of you who do not support the Democrat plan for healthcare reform. But that's not really what he cares about, is it? Nope. Alan Grayson has one solitary goal in mind: stay in power. Get re-elected. Don't goof up enough for the great people of Orlando to notice. So here's your chance to tell him exactly what you think.
WHAT: Health Care Town Hall
WHEN: Monday, August 17, 2009, 7:45 p.m.
WHERE: IBEW Local 606 Union Hall, 820 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL
DETAILS: Congressman Alan Grayson will host a town hall meeting to discuss the need for health care reform, listen to concerns or answer questions from the constituents he serves, and debunk the many myths being circulated about the current proposals. The Congressman intends for and expects this event to be a respectful and productive discussion. This is the second public health care meeting the Congressman has held during the summer district work period. On July 27th, he met with about fifty members of his Health Care Advisory Board. The meeting was announced 72 hours in advance, open to the public, and promoted and covered by multiple media outlets. The Congressman also will conduct a health care telephone town hall on Thursday, August 20th at 7 p.m. People interested in being a part of that event can sign up on the Congressman's website.
Grayson is a one-term looter. Remind him of that if you should get the opportunity.
I just love stories of entrepreneurship, so I'll share one with you.
His name is Angelo Hernandez. He lives in Jacksonville, Florida ... near the beach. Every single morning he gets up before the sunrise. He checks the weather .. and if the weather is good he grabs a camera and heads to the beach. Why? He wants to catch a picture of the sunrise. Hernandez will tell you that he used to watch the sunrise from construction jobs up and down Jax Beach ... so he decided to start taking pictures.
OK, so far so good. But I want you to sit there for a second or two and try to figure out just how this can lead to making money. I mean, anyone can take a picture of a sunrise, right?
Well .. I found out when Angelo sent me one of his pictures in a nice frame. This particular sunrise picture was date-stamped June 28, 2009. That is a picture of the sunrise over the Atlantic on the day my granddaughter was born. A new life - a new day - a new sunrise. Now you just tell me that you wouldn't like to have a picture of the sunrise on the day you were born .. or your child or grandchild. Well ... if the particular sunrise you're interested in happened after the Summer of 2004 ... and if the weather was halfway decent ... you're in luck. I'm so pleased to share this website with you because I think the idea is so special. Here's your link. Hope the weather was OK.
My thanks to the folks at WGUF-FM, my Naples, Florida affiliate for once again making it so easy for me to come down here to (a) paradise (b) NIMBYland and broadcast in the Florida sun. Tonight we'll have a little gathering of 98.9 FM listeners at the Naples Bath and Tennis Club where they will be held against their will while I rant and rave for who-knows-how long. Then .. now get this .. tomorrow morning I'm playing golf with the guy who is now married to the infamous Emily Eggert ... the high school hardbody who ran off to a party with another group of boys on our first and last date at Pensacola High School oh so many years ago. The fun never ends. Find more upcoming appearances here.
Do you remember Henrietta? She's the leach that went to an Obama rally back in February and asked Obama for a house. Apparently she and her son were homeless because he lost his job and she couldn't find one. Hearing her request, the wife of a Republican representative in Florida gave Henrietta a home to live in temporarily. She had to pay minimal rent.
But guess what? Henrietta is still "struggling" to find a job and she might soon lose the home that she was given. Here's Henrietta's first mistake ... the article says that she "faithfully goes to an employment center in Fort Myers in hopes of finding a job." Hey, Henrietta. Newsflash - you can try more than just showing up at a government agency and hoping that the government gets you a job.
So now Henrietta is worried that she is going to lose the home that was given to her. Why? Because the woman who owns the home is actually trying to sell it. Once the House sells, Henrietta has to hit the road. But the wife of this Florida lawmaker says that she will do anything in her power to make sure that Henrietta doesn't end up homeless again.
Henrietta is a mooch. She will continue mooching until she absolutely, as a last resort, has to do something on her own to survive. Henrietta is the very face of the new Democrat voter and Obama supporter. And what's the story on her worthless son?

Took the day off Friday to fly to Key West with my friend Bugsy. Here's a picture of cruise ships we took as we were turning base to final for the Key West airport.
Port St. Lucie down on the east coast of Florida has come up with a way to handle its foreclosure crisis .. declare itself a disaster area. Yeah, as if a hurricane of irresponsibility has swept through. Port St. Lucie is apparently the only county in the United States that is considering this option. At least for now. The country commissioner says that this foreclosure crisis is a "manmade disaster."
What would happen if Port St. Lucie declares itself a disaster area? It would be like getting an instant mini-stimulus plan. Government officials would have access to $17.5 million in county funds that are reserved for natural disasters. The government would then go to town, spending money on "shovel-ready" construction projects and try its best to hire local contractors.
If this works in Port St. Lucie, you can bet that other communities will try the same thing. Can you see where this is going? These communities will exhaust their emergency funds on localized political pork projects ... and when the next hurricane or tornado hits there will be no money. Then, of course, they will turn to Washington ... and Washington will turn to you.
We've been getting literally thousands of emails from Tampa fans asking when I'm going to be on the air back there again. Well, relief is on the way! Beginning Monday The Neal Boortz Show will be carried live on NewsTalk 1220 WSRQ in Sarasota! The signal reaches into Tampa ... so all you Tampa Bay listeners be sure to tune in!
What state leads the nation in Motorcycle fatalities? Well, that would be Florida. In 2007 there were 530 motorcycle fatalities in Florida. California had 495 and Texas with 375. Florida and Texas have no helmet laws.
Now ... before you start in with these "you're no Libertarian" emails ... let me say that I am against helmet laws, though I think you are an idiot to ride without one. But .. there must be one provision. The law should state that your riding without a helmet constitutes an implied consent for the state to seize every penny of your assets; you money, your home and the rest of your belongings, to be sold to compensate the state's taxpayers for any money spent on patching up your empty head after you come off your bike.
By the way .. loud bikes don't save lives, they piss people off.
Well ... here we go. Opa-locka, Florida .. near Miami .. is going to rename Perviz Avenue to Barack Obama Avenue. Well isn't that special. So ... let me tell you what's coming. Opa-locka won't have the last Barack Obama Avenue, or Street, or Road, or Trail, or Boulevard .. or whatever. You're going to see more; and before too long you're going to see various "activists" screaming "racist" if their local community doesn't designate its own Barack Obama Something-or-other by the end of 2009. I'm just setting myself up for a sweet "I told you so" down the road a bit.
And please - don't forget. For the next four years any statement uttered by someone not black in opposition to any Obama initiative will either be (a) hate speech; or (b) a racist diatribe. Take your pick.
