What The H
By Bob Sims I think our little county needs one of those Chik-Fil-A joints. I don't mean because they hate homers, but because those sandwiches are awesome. I only head out of the area on special occasions and Alice talked me into a trip to the city this weekend. "Magic Mike" was playing at the 3-dollar show, so her and some of her cousins wanted to see that show. I've always thought that magic died with Houdini, so I didn't care if I saw that mess or not. It wasn't even David Copperfield, So what the H? Well, I took off walking and I came across this Chik-Fil-A. I went in and ordered a sandwich and some waffle fries. The sandwich was unbelieveable, but those fries were nothing like waffles — What the H? Anyway, I saw these two young fellers come up behind me and one of them had a camera. He yelled out "This is a Kiss-In," and him and his buddy started making out. Then, he handed me the camera and asked me to take a picture. It must have been a good one, because the police and everyone was trying to grab it out of my hand. I saw it on the Mybook last night and I hope it makes Facespace, too. Photo by Bob Sims, that sounds good. I was so happy to tell Alice about what had happened, but I couldn't get her off of me when she came out of that magic show. I was tired and I tired to fight her, but she was really being aggressive. That chicken sandwich did smell good on me, though. What the H?

From Bob Sims I got a call the other day from this guy that said he was starting a newspaper on the computer. I didn't know what this guy was talking about — I mean, What the H? Well, he said it was going to be all kinds of announcements and news from where I live. I told him that I live in Franklin County, son. There ain't nothing goes on in Franklin County that I don't know about. And he explained it to me so well, that I asked him if he would like me to write a little something up to put on that interweb. He said that would be outstanding — What the H? So, if you see me on the street, I want to be called Columnist Bob Sims, if you don't mind, or Colonel — I like that, too, it only seems fitting. A few questions popped in my head, so I asked this young feller how many times this computer newspaper comes out. I couldn't believe what he said. He says he has a brand new edition every day and that it could be more than that if special things happen. He's even gonna have what the police department does every day. What the H? So I guess I'm gonna have to get the old pencil sharpener out so I can keep up. I might even have to get me a new 'puter so I can see my words on the world wide webs. I am even gonna put a few secrets about my home life on here. My wife Alice won't like it, but we sure have some funny stuff happen around here. Well, I'll let you go, I'm gonna go get some grub that The Boneyard Chef is cookin' over at the resaurant. It's awful fancy for a guy like me, but What the H? |

By: Jose Christianotoes More than 250 years ago Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Franklin had no clue that an apple contains fiber, minerals and vitamins all exceedingly healthy for the body. Franklin must have had an idea that an apple had a special medicinal value when he wrote that line in Poor Richard’s Almanac. I wonder what Franklin would think about the value of healthcare in the country he helped found? He would find unaffordable healthcare costs strapping most Americans to a life of pain and suffering. The World Health Organization studied the healthcare in 190 countries and listed the United States at 34th on the ranking chart. France and Italy are one and two, Japan is 10th, and United Kingdom is 18th and Switzerland in 20th. Ahead of the good ole USA is Singapore, Chili and Costa Rica. The heroic struggle in America among health care providers to prevent disease and to cure those they find is second to none. The heroes in the medical field are dedicated professionals who accomplish miracles every day. But, there are those health care providers who see their priority reflected in the bottom line. The cost of healthcare in America is almost obscene. The pharmaceutical companies are knocking down record profits and U.S. doctors are some of the highest paid professionals in the world. New technologies are being produced every day. And yet there are 60 million uninsured Americans struggling with medical problems every day. The U.S. Supreme Court is studying the constitutionality of the recent healthcare law. The law makes health insurance both a right and a responsibility for most Americans. It provides coverage to more than 90 percent of the population, subsidizing private insurance for millions. But it also requires nearly everyone to carry health insurance, either through an employer or a government program, or by buying an individual policy. During the past eight years, insurance premiums have doubled, medical bills are drowning families in debt and half of all personal bankruptcies are caused by medical costs, according to the Organization for Health Care for All. Hospital emergency room visits are increasing 10 percent every year while the number of emergency rooms is dropping by 7 percent. Millions of sick people who have no medical coverage and cannot afford care are pouring into the emergency rooms, which by law cannot turn them away. Is that not a federal mandate?
