A Republican New Hampshire state senator, Andy Sanborn, laughingly compared Obamacare to the San Francisco plane crash while guest-hosting a radio show on Tuesday. [snip]Two teenagers killed, dozens injured. Haha. We notice "Shecky" Sanborn didn't go with the usual Rethuglican description of Obamacare: "train wreck." Lucky.
“Now that this thing is barreling down on us like a jet landing into San Francisco, it’s (Sanborn laughs) it should make people really concerned," Sanborn said about the Affordable Care Act.
Moving right along, we have news concerning one-percenter William A. "Hoe" Brown (real name), Tampa Port Authority chairman, and Galtian philanthropist and entrepreneur:
In his unpaid position as chair, he oversees a board that runs the city’s port, which generates billions of dollars of growth and thousands of jobs. He’s a top fundraiser for Republican candidates like Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Connie Mack. And until Tuesday, he also ran a thriving slum behind his business office, a group of five filthy single-wide mobile homes that he’d illegally parked on a commercial property and divided into apartments that Tampa’s code enforcer called “deplorable” and “not fit for human habitation.”Plus, he only charges $550/month rent for part of a mobile home! Does it come with a water view (excluding water coming from the leaky toilets and faucets)?
That extra "e" in his nickname? It's for empathy.
