SUNDAY FUNNIES: WHY? (misc. jokes)

Inquisitive little dragon, ain't I?

Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!
Now I'll be the first to admit that I've been scratching my head trying to figure out what to do for this post.
There are some left over jokes from our annual Back To School episode that Autumn the Puppy and I didn't get a chance to use, but most of them involve dogs and homework and I can't do that to my friend.
But yet, no matter how good each day at Dragon School is, the teachers always seem unable to answer some of my questions. So I'm going to post them here and see if YOU have the information I seek. Ready?

Would working in a security position for the Samsung Corporation make that person a Guardian of

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody, and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.

WHY?

The following is an editorial.

It has been over a week now since the televised coverage of President Barack Obama addressing a joint session of Congress as to what was and was not supposed to be in the Health Care Reform Act.
Yet the negative opposition/attack ads against such a bill are still running.
WHY?
Granted, there are five different versions of a possible Reform Act floating around Capitol Hill at the moment, each with their own positives and negatives; and Congress needs to put its collective heads together to unify the positive aspects into one functional document to propose to the President.
I can understand the seriousness of the matter and everyone's concern that action not only be taken, but done correctly. Yet amongst those ads are ones that seem to be totally against the prospect of addressing Health Care Reform to begin with.
WHY?
If you have legitimate concerns about this or any matter, then by all means you have the right to address your national representatives in a formal, polite manner just like everyone else.
But considering the cost of buying commercial time, let alone the expense of making these ads to begin with, and the more positive/beneficial things these funds could have been spent on...
WHY?

WHY CAN'T BOTH SIDES JUST GET ALONG?

The following is the second of two posts. While this installment is more of an editorial than the previous post that looked at the President’s speech before Congress about the Health Care Reform Act, the facts are as accurate as humanly possible.

There is no doubt that Health Care, as it stands at the moment, needs to be reformed.
But there is also no question as to the fact that Democrats and Republicans do not always get along.

Case in point:
First off, the infamous heckler from the President’s address to Congress.
When Obama announced that the Health Care Reform Act would not cover illegal aliens, someone shouted the publicly inappropriate response: "You lie!"
That someone has been identified as Republican Joe Wilson of South Carolina.
Now Mister Wilson has every personal right, whether right or wrong, not to agree with or believe the President.
But last night was neither the proper time, the proper place, nor the proper manner to do so.
Although Wilson has formally apologized to the President since then, at the moment, not even his fellow Republicans want to be associated with him.

Secondly, let’s look at the Republican response to the address to Congress.
It was delivered by Louisiana Representative Charles Boustam, MD. Himself a cardiovascular surgeon.
On one hand, he does acknowledge that there are problems with the current health care insurance system, and even cites some of the ones he has had first hand experience with.
Then he turns around and disagrees with a lot of President Obama’s points to the extent that I began to wonder if he even listened to the speech before commenting.

So what’s the solution?
Bi-partisanship.
Whereupon both sides actually cooperate together to face and attempt to solve a dilemma.
It is possible, although the last genuine instance of bi-partisanship was post 9-11, 2001.

Now I am not saying that one party is better than another.
But if anything is to be accomplished, whether it be Health Care Reform or anything else, both sides need to work together!
There are a lot of problems facing this country, let alone the world, so does how we got to this point matter right now?
What is important now is how the situations are going to be dealt with, for the solutions are going to determine what kind of a future this country is going to have.
And personally, I hope things start get a whole lot better than they are soon!
But the only way that is ever going to happen is for both sides to forget their differences and start working together.
THAT is true bi-partisanship!
And if any Republican (or Democrat or Independent) still does not get it, just remember: the people that elected you into office are the same ones that come the next election can also vote you out!
