Boneqweesha Jones: "It's 'Qweesha 2009 TV, the show with news and views you should use in your critical thinking process. My guest is Chef Low Fat Meat, the Galloping Gourmet of the Ghetto Science Team. He's on a mission for the common people and health-care reform in America. The good chef says that the struggle for health-insurance reform wallows in a cesspool of hypocrisy. That's a strong statement, Chef Low Fat Meat. Break it down for the people!"

Chef Low Fat Meat: "Some folk talk about how they are kind, caring and benevolent. But, when a fellow human falls on hard times, people change their tune and sing a song of 'blame the victim.' I heard a CEO of a supermarket chain complain that employees who smoke, are overweight and have pre-existing conditions cost him a lot of money.

"He has an incentive program where healthy employees pay less for their health insurance, while the obese, diabetic employees who smoke continues to purchase honey buns, potato chips, soda and cigarettes from the same supermarket. It's like trying to cure an alcoholic inside a liquor store.

"Qweesha, we live in a society of denial, and a place where someone—like a greedy corporate CEO—-breaks your leg and calls you a cripple who's costing him money. This is why I feel that health-insurance reform wallows in a cesspool of hypocrisy."

Boneqweesha Jones: "Unfortunately, Chef Low Fat Meat, all of us poor folk are knee deep in this cesspool!"

Ken, this is great? You just described the republican party, or better yet, the haters of public health care or health care reform, with precision. You're a genius! Did you hear Barry Steve Obama, the President of the United States of America (even in the South), is urging us good citizens to not listen to or watch Crock News anymore. Sorry, I meant Slop news. No, I meant Full of ____ news. Sorry, again, I meant GOP news. To borrow from the late southerner, Senator Stennis, "I just can't say Negro. Every time I try to say it, that other word my parents taught me comes out." Nor can I say Fox news. It ain't no news going on over there. It's a hate-festival, done old styled and pre-reconstruction. They want to go back, way back, to a time when the local rapper, Kamikaze, would be singing "nobody knows the troubles I've seen" instead of rapping about banging your head until the white meat shows. Personally, I don't understand how any decent people can follow those 2 dope addicts in Beck and Rusty Limpbaugh or Bill "what color is your bloomer, baby" O'Reilly.

Thank you, brother Walt! I was inspired to write this after listening to a segment on NPR radio. It was about a CEO of a supermarket chain with a new health care plan for his employees. Again, I appreciate your response.
