Obama's plan to fund Obamacare

One of our President's most common and repeated proposals is to fund Obamacare by taxing "the rich". He wants to end tax deductions for charity contributions for those "rich" people.

Mr. President, How much medical care for our needy and unfortunate citizens is directly paid for by those donations? How does choking off the source of revenue for great institutions from learning and teaching hospitals to community hospitals to great institutions like the Shriners' Hospitals benefit the medical care of our citizens?

Rethink your folly Mr. President and stop this lunacy of taxing charity. Find another way to fund your schemes or scale them back to manageable levels.

Cell Phone Elbow

The following article interested me because I'm starting to see this pretty frequently. It's like when computers became more common and more used in the 90s we started seeing a lot of carpal tunnel. Now that everyone has got their ear glued to a cell phone all day we're seeing cubital tunnel syndrome.

Solution, get off the phone. If you can't do that get one of those blue tooth things and walk around looking like a Borg all day.
