Hooey: excuses, forced exercise and we ain't got Jesus

  It's a bunch of hooey when goonions like Jimmy Hoffa can get up in front of a crowd and call Tea Partiers "SOBs" and suggest the unionists' army needs to take them out but a football player starts an enormous controversy and feels he needs to clarify remarks because he suggested fans might enjoy "drinking" before a football game.
  It's a bunch of hooey when the mayor of a town can fine employees $50 monthly if they don't go to the gym. How often are they supposed to go? How long should they stay? What if they go to the gym and just sit and talk on the phone for an hour? Does that count?
  Is this what we can expect with Obamacare? Look at this from a writer at so-called conservative FrumForum who thinks it's great that people could be required to go to the gym:
Previously, employers could give up to 20% off premiums for employees based on enrollment in wellness programs and the like; with Obamacare, that will jump to 30% (and 50% if a healthcare plan is approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services).
  Note that the wellness program enrollment is presented in typical Orwellian newspeak as a "discount," but is in reality a rate hike.
  It's a bunch of hooey when a losing high school football coach screams at the opposition's student section for chanting "We've got Jesus" in response to gay taunts and their opponents' chants of "We've got girls." Later said coach claimed to a newspaper that the students should be "embarrassed" for having use Jesus's name this way. Huh.
  This is the coach.
  He lost the game.
  Go figure.
  It's a bunch of hooey when an obviously dependent Solyndra views the federal government as a sugar daddy when it applied for a SECOND loan of an additional $469 million, bringing to a total of almost a BILLION dollars. 
  It's a bunch of HOOEY when the Department of Energy WILL NOT CLARIFY (as of this writing) IF SOLYNDRA EVER RECEIVED THE SECOND LOAN.
  It's a bunch of hooey when POTUS claims that the additional $450 billion pinata he wants for his goodies WILL BE PAID FOR, but doesn't say how and indicates he's going to let someone else figure that out, knowing that cuts in the RATES OF INCREASE are protested, much less actual cuts.
  It's a bunch of hooey when the Politico refers to POTUS as "the professor" because he goes into a classroom and uses a TOTUS now and then.
  It's a bunch of hooey when a news organization says the "motive" is "unclear" when a group of people of one race attack a group of people of another race.
  And it's a bunch of hooey when a news channel covers one story incessantly where three people were killed, repeating over and over the same footage and trying to invoke a weepy sympathy over something we cannot change or help.
