You won\u2019t find a lot of political speak on my brog, primarily because I simply do not care about politics.\u00a0 Typically, this ambivalence remains in place until it actually begins to directly affect my bottom line.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to pretend like I know the facts behind it, but after tomorrow, it actually will be doing such, and that\u2019s all I really know.\u00a0 Due to whatever Obamacare or what name it has\/will have, it appears that I\u2019ll have to re-configure my health insurance coverage to be kosher with the guidelines in place with Obamacare, lest I be fined.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s funny, because I put a great deal of work into trying to keep myself physically well-conditioned and exercise on a regular basis, so that I don\u2019t have to rely on the need for excessive medical coverage.\u00a0 And it seems like that\u2019s kind of becoming irrelevant, due to the fact that it\u2019s becoming mandatory that all people are supposed to be covered, or else they\u2019re monetarily penalized.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s the gist that I\u2019m under the impression, and unless I hear differently, that\u2019s what I\u2019m being led to believe.\u00a0 Trust me, it\u2019s not worth explaining to me, because I\u2019ll be as fidgety as a six-year old in church with apathy.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, all the talk about the whole situation of government shutdowns and Obamacare that I\u2019m privy to seeing on CNN in the 4-6 minutes I take to change in the locker room at the gym, the fact that they\u2019re using a clock to drive home the fact that it\u2019s impending only makes me think of\u00a0Watchmen<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Like I said, I don\u2019t know all the facts nor do I particularly care, but from what I\u2019m exposed to sparsely, the countdown to the government shutdown reminds me of the Doomsday clock constantly referred to in Watchmen.\u00a0 At first, I thought that Obama was acting in a manner like an inadvertent Ozymandias, whose actions seemed to be creating an uneasy alliance between Democrats and Republicans in simply getting rid of Obamacare, but from what I can tell now, that analogy is out the door from what I hear about factions of Republicans being incapable of working things out amongst their own party.\u00a0 Now he\u2019s kind of like the opposite of Ozymandias.\u00a0\u00a0Obamandias<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, as the clock ominously ticks and tocks closer to the time when the government officially shuts down, it looks like now would be as good of time as any for a real-life Ozymandias to show up make everyone suddenly put things into perspective.\u00a0 Teleport some big-ass artificial alien thing onto North Korea, claim Kaijus exist, let it destroy the country, and then come to the rescue after the fact.\u00a0 Engineer some nukes that explode blue, drop them on the Middle East, and then blame Doctor Manhattan.\u00a0 It\u2019s like killing two birds with one stone in a way, maybe three, if it gets everyone to pull their heads out of their asses and come to some sort of compromise.<\/span><\/p>\n Yeah, all that sounds horribly ignorant to what\u2019s actually happening, but from my perspective, as much as people claim the government is corrupt, evil and bad, it is still something that I think is necessary.\u00a0 And just the simple idea that the government is, \u201cshutting down\u201d just doesn\u2019t sound like something that\u2019s really good for the general populous, in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n Often times I\u2019m behind the times when it comes to memes, and combined with my general apathy towards politics, I\u2019m debating to myself if now is an appropriate time to bust out the \u201cThanks, Obama<\/em>\u201d line.\u00a0 If Obamacare is what\u2019s going to make me have to eat more out of my paychecks, then I suppose it is.<\/span><\/p>\n THANKS, OBAMA.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You won\u2019t find a lot of political speak on my brog, primarily because I simply do not care about politics.\u00a0 Typically, this
