Love Will Keep Us Together But Healthcare Could Drive Us Apart


One of my favorite soft rock groups from the 70s, The Captain and Tennille, have filed for divorce. But it seems they didn’t run out of Muskrat Love. The story is that “The Captain“, Daryl Dragon, is terminally ill with a neurological disorder (something similar to Parkinson‘s) which means he will be running up a huge medical bill. In order to keep their estate intact, he had to sign over everything to wife Toni, file for divorce, so that the government nor creditors can‘t seize his assets. Thankfully Toni will still be his Angel Face.

This reminds me how we had a neighbor that died from the complications of Parkinson’s disease not too long ago. In my opinion it’s one of the awful ways 'to go'. [Not that there is a good way, but I think you get my drift.] We watched him die an agonizing, slow, humiliating death. The Captain certainly has my prayers.

Hubby and I discussed financial possibilities at length after reading the article. He said one of us being stricken with a terminal illness could be a real possibly some day. It's something many people are forced into. Our bodies are going to corruption. Good thing for those of us who believe in Jesus, we are in God’s hands. Hopefully, we will never be faced with such a heart wrenching decision, but I can understand why The Captain and Tennille had to go this route. I would do everything I had to do to protect what little I have too.

What a sad world we live in. Guess I need to keep a song of joy in my heart. Well, at least their music will go on.

Fascists Prove Ted Nugent Right

I guess you've heard:
Right-wing rocker Ted Nugent is being investigated by the Secret Service after making a threat against President Obama while speaking at the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis last weekend. ... Nugent said, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will be dead or in jail by this time next year." Nugent, an NRA member, was appearing at the convention to persuade NRA members to convince others to vote for Mitt Romney. [Drudge Report, Yahoo News]

I'm not a Nugent fan since his language is too course and rude and I don't care for his music. But people do have the right to say pretty much anything they wish, as long as it's not slanderous. The Left are always ready to be vitriolic AND truly threatening but I don't see them being arrested or threated by jack booted thugs! I guess the First Amendment "freedom of speech" part no longer exists if you're considered "right wing" in our country.

First of all, my take is that Ted Nugent didn't threaten the Dear Leader. He seems to be making the statement that the O'Blamo Fascists will have him killed or jailed by this time next year if they're still in power.

Second, looks like the O'Blamo Fascists (i.e. SS - the initials fit, don't they) have proven him right, just a little early that's all.

Interesting side note, today is the anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

Hmmmm ...
