And Now For Something Completely Stupid
Need health insurance? If your name is on the government "Terrorist Watch List" you ain't going to get it. In a stunningly stupid illogical quagmire of complete bulloney, CNN reports that the Treasury Dept. is telling major insurers like Blue Cross, Aetna, etc. that the only way they can be sure of complying with a Shrub Executive Order prohibiting property rights to terrorists, is to go through the database and deny health insurance to those listed there.
Well how ridiculous is that? Forget for a minute that it's essentially guilt until proven innocent, forget that it targets Moslem Americans, and forget that it's downright unfair. Think, for a minute, since most of the 9/11 terrorists were relatively rich guys (or were supported by relatively rich guys) are they really going to CARE? How is this going to hurt the REAL terrorists? Does this make ANY sense at all? How many millions of dollars are being lost by going through these lists? Can someone who is WRONGLY placed on this list ever get off of it?
Don't we have other things we can be doing? Like maybe finding Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein? Or are we planning on finding them after they complain they've been denied health insurance, or a job as a Walmart janitor?
