And Getting Fries With That Is Now the “Platinum Meal”

Thanks to added costs from Obamacare, McDonald’s “Dollar Menu” is being changed to the “Dollar and More Menu”.

Well, Obama never promised you’d be able to keep your cheeseburger.

While acknowledging that trying to read a story in the form of a series of tweets ranks somewhere between dropping a bowling ball on your foot and barking you shin on a coffee table in a darkened room, this is worth a read.

Seriously people, stop creating narratives out of a series of tweets. It’s as unnecessarily jarring as reading e e cummings poetry.

Video of Frank J. (Kinda) on TV

Here’s video of my sorta appearance on The Willis Report on FBN.

BTW, the picture I used was from a recent newborn photo shoot for my son. I just cropped out the stupid baby and was good to go.

So, next step I’ll be on camera, but I won’t talk. And then finally I’ll do the full deal. And fame and fortune will surely follow.

Anyway, here’s the Twitter feed if you haven’t seen it.

And Rand Simberg who I started the parody account has a book coming out, Safe Is Not an Option, on how our obsessions with safety is killing our progress in space.

They’re Like the AAA of Politics!

Amazingly, the Democrats are actually using the Obamacare website’s troubles as a reason to ask people for money.

Kinda like saying that when you get a flat tire, you should buy another nail to plug the hole with.

“Glitch” sounds small, cute, and sort of pleasantly quirky. But a “glitch” doesn’t cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. A “glitch” doesn’t cause human suffering or potential loss of life. A “glitch” is a minor mistake – not the inevitable result of botched human planning, shirked responsibility, and the decision to put a higher priority on politics than practicality.

Rather, what we’re seeing at Healthcare.gov should more properly be described as a “man-caused disaster,” a term the Obama administration originally proposed as a euphemism for acts of terror.
