[High Praise! to Hope n’ Change Cartoons]

And the only reason we’re hearing about the “knockout game” now is because the sheer number of victims is getting too big to ignore – in much the same way that it’s also increasingly hard for the mainstream media to bury reports that 50 to 100 million Americans are about to lose their health insurance. Talk about a knockout punch!

Boiled down to their essentials, both stories are about those who are innocent and vulnerable being deliberately attacked by coldblooded bullies, with potentially life-changing or life-ending consequences.

Obamacare has become the equivalent of a dark and threatening back alley in a very bad neighborhood. And to paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, God help those who are forced to pass through it to see what’s in it.

I don’t get the whole Bitcoin thing.

It’s fake money. There’s nothing to back it up. It’s valuable because people decided it was.

Wait. That’s no different than the currency in your wallet.

Hmm. Maybe it isn’t fake after all.

Or maybe the money we use everyday is fake.

So, what do you do with fake money?

Buy fake stuff, of course.

What’s the best fake stuff to buy?

Fake boobs, perhaps?

Seems that a place in Miami that accepts Bitcoins. What does this place, Vanity Cosmetic Surgery, do? Well, boob jobs among other things. Yes, fake money for fake boobs.

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Well, that depends on whether or not fake boobs are good or bad. In and of themselves, boobs are great. Of course, I’m one that thinks that all parts of the female body are pretty great. I’ll not pass judgement on fake parts.

But, since Bitcoins can lead to bigger boobs, I’m not gonna pass judgement on that, either.

I don’t think accepting Bitcoin for boobs will bring Bitcoin the full acceptance it’s seeking. But accepting it in exchange for other parts, or use of those parts — renting them out, so to speak — will. And that day is coming soon.
