RSSClarifications: Obamacare, ACORN, Adam Lambert
Gene Lalor | December 2, 2009
When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. That’s why they put erasers at one end of pencils 
and why newspapers feature “corrections,” admissions that they screwed up somehow.
I’m man enough to fess up to having made a few errors in the thousand or so posts on this blog and I hereby seek to rectify them, cast myself on the mercy of the reader, and beg forgiveness.
Mea maxima culpa for these gross inaccuracies on Obamacare, ACORN, and Adam Lambert:
. Obamacare: I had more than intimated in any number of articles that Obamacare would lead to rationing of health care, abuses of power, and even something akin to what Sarah Palin dubbed “Death Panels.”
Well, I was wrong and I admit it.
Foolishly, I had assumed that when Obamacare was fully implemented, (which implementation wouldn’t happen until after the 2012 election), Americans would be denied health care if D.C. bureaucrats deemed their treatment unnecessary or if they were just too damned old or sick to waste precious resources on.
I was wrong.
I wasn’t wrong in that future Obamacare assessment since the future is yet to be. I was wrong in not anticipating that America’s medical Mengeles would jump the gun and begin health rationing, power abusing, and death panelling even before Obamacare was visited upon us like the Black Plague.
As Obamacare warm ups in the wings, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has re-evaluated the recommendations of the US Preventive Services Task Force on annual breast cancer screenings via mammograms 
and vaginal cancer detection via pap smears.
That task force is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HHS.
The HHS guidelines said not to even bother with self-exams, that mammograms could wait until women are aged 50 and pap smears every two years instead of annually will be just fine and dandy. Women over 65 can skip the smears entirely in most cases: http://bit.ly/eM7qm
In the event women are already dead from breast or cervical cancer, those guidelines would be moot and our pre-Obamacare health system will have shown it’s very adept at rationing and saving tons of money.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius 
pooh-poohed the new recommendations of her own agency after it looked as if concerned women nationwide would march on Washington and string her up.
Don’t you worry your pretty, little heads about any of the above, ladies, Sebelius said in effect, and just disregard anything you’ve heard. Disregard, that is, until Obamacare mandates all those guidelines.
Another brilliant medical grinch has decreed that 74 year old George Anter, Korean vet, heart-transplant recipient, victim and survivor of various cancer attacks, is just too old and sick to receive a scarce H1N1 vaccination: http://bit.ly/7vrhJf
Why waste the precious vaccine on a sick elder? Just let him kick the ol’ bucket and delete his useless carbon footprint on the planet. He won’t know the difference between being dead or alive anyway.
. ACORN: 
Another instance in which I was in grievous error was thinking that ACORN, our president’s virtual arm into the bowels of poor, mostly black, disenfranchised communities, would be cast out into the wilderness after revelations that it endorsed prostitution and was engaged in multiple criminal enterprises.
I was wrong again.
Instead of imprisonment for complicit ACORN-ers and dissolution of that poor excuse for humanity, ACORN is changing its acronymic name, as if a name change would connote a systemic change in that corrupt organization, and our government plans to help facilitate that subterfuge.
Banned from receiving more federal funding after being exposed as less an anti-poverty goup and more an advocate for Leftist causes, ACORN isn’t dead yet.
Attorney General Eric Holder’s Justice Department decided that pre-ban contracts between ACORN and the feds would be honored even if those monies had been used, repeatedly, for fraudulent purposes: http://bit.ly/8G7e33
ACORN will not go into that dark night stuffed with all its ill-gotten government cash, according to a minority report filed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Instead, with Christmas–or is it “the Holidays?”–approaching, why not be generous with its booty of taxpayer bucks? ACORN/taxpayer resources are now being funneled into groups such as the Service Employees International Union, SEIU and other Left wing activists including the Working Families Party.
In addition, whistleblower Anita Moncrief’s assertion that ACORN steals from the poor to give to the Left was substantiated by that House probe: “ACORN’s own training manual reflects a business model in which money is taken from poor people and then funneled into partisan political efforts:” http://bit.ly/6AdHuv
I was dead wrong in thinking ACORN was history. It must be nice for criminals to have close friends in the White House and in the Justice Department.
. Adam Lambert: 
A final example of my doltish ignorance and erroneous conclusions was imputing to gay glam rocker Adam Lambert illicit motives in making a total, queer arse of himself at the American Music Awards.
I went off accusing the poor dear of all sorts of intentional perversions on national television whereas, it turns out, kissing the male keyboardist, shoving another guy’s head into his crotch, etc. were merely the consequence of Lambert’s previous fatness.
In his own words, Lambert suffers from a serious ”ugly duckling complex” which made him do it, similar to Flip Wilson’s old line that “the devil made me do it.”
I sheepishly concede another error.
Popeater.com sarcastically summarized the issue better than I ever could.
“It is all coming together,” Popeater posted.
“Lambert used to be a chubby and now that he is much more svelte and sexy he wants to flaunt it as best he can, even if flaunting it means smooching his male guitarist and simulating oral sex onstage.
“We just bought some new skinny jeans when we managed to shed those hard to lose pounds, but hey, to each his own.”
As one shrink put it, “The AMAs were the perfect ‘look at me now’ moment. He not only looks amazing but he is so comfortable with who he is and it shows:”

It all makes sense now!
My personal “each and own” feelings are disgust with the looming Obamacare, fury over ACORN, and a sickening dread that Adam Lambert will get away with his lame fat excuse for outright seduction of his national audience.
Nevertheless, I admit I was wrong.
The bottom lines must be that pre-emptive Obamacare is a good thing, ACORN is a wonderful organization, and Lambert is just a disillusioned fatty. And the Wizard of Oz was really a true wizard who, if he wished, could whisk young Dorothy back to Kansas with a shake of his wand.
What I would wish is that Americans would shake their magical wands and bury Obamacare, prosecute ACORN, and sterilize Adam Lambert before he’s tempted to procreate.
But, what do I know? I’m always wrong.
