Man attempts to sell oven door as 37" flat screen tv

[Chris]

Aren't you the helpful one?
You made Chris look stupid X 3.

This was exactly my point.

There are mutiple bils and nothing has been decided upon yet.

But I guarantee you that when it all comes down, it will mean more money for the insurance companies and Big Pharma, and the American public will continue to get screwed.

Nice save.

Not really.

I saw Claire McCaskill talking last night, and she made this exact point.

Very smart lady. She put all the old farts who are against this in their place. She asked how many people in the town hall had Medicare. Over half the people raised their hands. Then she asked how many of them wanted to give it up. Nobody raised their hands.

Priceless.

That's because all those old farts spent most of their productive lives paying into the medicare system with a deduction each month from their paychecks for more than 30 years. They had no choice. They have paid for it individually. They have the right to be concerned and demand a return for their investment into the system.

But no one is changing Medicare, so their fear is irrational....very irrational.

Eliminating "pre-existing conditions" and providing a public option for healthcare are what reform is all about.

SAN LEANDRO — A brand-new 37-inch Sony flat screen television for $100? Great deal — until you take it out of the box and realize you just bought an oven door.

San Leandro police Lt. Pete Ballew called it a variation on the old "rocks in a box" scam, in which a box is presented as containing new, expensive electronics for sale but is actually full of rocks.

On Wednesday San Leandro police pulled over a man who had in his car a box containing what appeared to be an expensive 37-inch flat-screen television, but in actuality was a glass oven door cleverly disguised as a TV. The man is suspected of trying to sell the item for $100 in the parking lot of the San Lorenzo Wal-Mart, 15555 Hesperian Blvd.

"It was very ingenious," Ballew said. "If you were a bargain hunter, you might think, 'Wow, this is the deal of the day."

Police got an anonymous call Wednesday from someone who raised suspicions about a man who tried to sell him a television out of his beige 1980 Oldsmobile Cutlass in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The witness said the seller told him he had bought the TV for $60 at a flea market.

Later, Sgt. Luis Torres stopped the Cutlass after spotting it driving through San Leandro. The driver, Anthony Myles, 52, of Richmond, was arrested for driving on a suspended license. No charges were filed against Myles' passenger, a 53-year-old man.

The television in question was in the back of the car wrapped in packaging material. It had installation instructions on the back, a Best Buy price sticker for $1,949 and accompanying electric cables. Police confiscated the item, but no charges were filed in relation to its attempted sale.

Kind of like the way Obama is trying to sell us his health insurance plan, huh?

You know where I stand on that, but that WAS really funny!

 

[MaggieMae]

You realize there is no bill yet, right?

You better write to the Congress and let them know they screwed up.

Actually, you're right. There is no bill, there are three bills.

How 3 Healthcare Reform Bills Now Before Congress Compare

Aren't you the helpful one?
You made Chris look stupid X 3.

How so? Those 3 include what will still be negotiated and which will produce the Senate Bill, of which there IS none until that happens.

And SHE wasn't the one who looked stupid, but the 'children' in the audience who started yelling. Was it before or after that that she said she was going to have to act like a mommie to the crowd?

Whaaaaat??? On Medicare, the return on the investment is a hundred-fold, at least. That's the problem. Where can you get a health care policy with coverage like that for less than $100 a month?

Anyone who is too stupid to take the item out of the box and examine it instead of just taking someone's word for it deserves what they get.

Hey, it is just like Obamacare.

You realize there is no bill yet, right?

ROFLMNAO... Oh GOD that's precious... That you are allowed to vote is a travesty...

Did he mention that it only shows the cooking chanel?

It's nearly a certainty that Chris has at least ONE oven door mounted on a wall somewhere around her apartment... Of course the bad news is that the guy she hired to install it didn't tell her; so it fell to the cable guy to break the bad news.
