The mob ain't got nothing on the healthcare industry
The healthcare industry, from top to bottom, from insurance to medicare/medicaid to hospitals to the federal and state governments, HMO's, all of is fucked. It't the biggest racket around and is set up to screw the patient out of their health and money, or lack there of. Fuck off healthcare, I'll stick to DIY home surgery and self medication from now on because it's all a crock of shit. If I actually make it to the age I can start enjoying medicare it'll be bankrupt anyway, just like social security (glad I'm paying into that right now). So might as well just let it ride. If I break my arm I can't use a 2x4 for a splint and wrap it with duct tape. Duct tape fixes everything. Need surgery? I'll get an anatomy book, a mirror and do it myself. Rabble-B

Censor This!
New South Books has decided to publish a new edition of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn replacing every instance of the "n-word" with the word "slave". The word "injun" is removed too.
There are several reasons this is a bullshit, fucked move by New South (by the way is "New South" just a different way to say "The South will rise again"? Because it's a little suspect and that opens up a whole 'nother rabble).
First of all this is the perfect reason why E-Readers are evil. As soon as we eliminate paper books from our culture they can rewrite books anyway they want and no one will be the wiser. This is the first step and shit rolls downhill. We also shouldn't censor a work that the author hasn't approved. This book has been around for over 100 years and if Mark Twain was a racist asshole that fact would've come to light by now.
This book also portrays life and culture in the 19th century and if we exercise our sense of anachronism we can see that fact and learn from it. Race was an important issue and very divisive in the 19th century. Maybe if hyper-sensitive parents and schoolboards around the country were more interested in teaching students the truth (Christopher Columbus was not the first European to reach the Americas and he was not a nice guy, he killed and enslaved thousands of Native Americans, yes it's documented) instead of what they want kids to hear because it's more PC or more sanitary they might turn about a little better. Well, guess what, life and people and culture can be ugly, it doesn't matter what time period you live(d) in. Shielding ourselves or our children is just lying and retards our progress as humanity. So, in other words, fuck you New South Books. Rabble-B

Don't Buy Farmed Fish
Or any fish for that matter. But if you're a moron and are just not convinced, or maybe you just love that tasteless, mushy, gray flesh here is more evidence that you're an idiot and fish farms and net pens kill wild fish. Watch this video Clayoquot Sound: Wild Salmon in Trouble Rabble-B

Jersey What?!
So Snooki and Jwoww from Jersey Shore have both become published authors recently, because more money is what they need... Now, what is so shocking about this revelation is not that some publisher is low enough to cash in on their absurdly cartoonish lives that pass for reality but rather that Snooki and Jwoww can actually read and write! This may not be true of course, literature and non-fiction have a long history of ghost writing but geez man.
Snooki's book is supposedly a novel but it's titled A Shore Thing which leads me to believe it's an autobiography not a novel but I suppose she could've been confused and the publisher too I suppose upon reading the draft probably couldn't believe such characters could ever be real.
Jwoww's book is apparently a dating/love advice book. If that's the case it can't actually be more than a short article. I mean, what advice could it possibly contain? "If a hot bro at a club buys you a Jager Bomb and grabs your ass you should definitely go home with him and let him fuck you." Seriously people, what if aliens descended on our planet tomorrow? Is this really how we want our planet represented? They'd vaporize us in a heartbeat. Rabble-B

Argyle Falcon
Have you ever been hit on the shoulder by a falcon and a pigeon currently being slaughtered in mid air by said falcon whilst tumbling toward the ground and hitting you instead of the ground, feathers and blood abound? Didn't think so. Ok, well, me neither but it did happen to my friend recently, it was crazy! The aftermath consisted of scattered feathers, bits of flesh and blood on the sidewalk, a petrified, dying pigeon hiding under a van and a pissed off falcon sitting on a telephone wire wondering what the hell he ran into and where his meal went. Totally awesome!
(I know I've posted all unrabbles so far in this short year but I promise there's plenty to rabble about. Like John Boehner (I may have rabbled about him already but he sucks so much I will tell you gain) assuming the post of Speaker of the House. I mean Nancy Pelosi sucked ass and was a straight up liar but this retard said it was his goal to make Obama a one term president. Hey, guess what dickwad? Your goal is to do what I and the rest of the voting public want you to do. So lets just start with don't cause a scandal by touching little boys and we'll go from there, asshole. No more hearings on steroids in baseball either. Baseball sucks and we don't care. And come on man, I don't care how you want to pronounce it, there is no 'a' in your last name. It's pretty much just Boner, with a couple more inconsequential letters. But seriously a falcon and pigeon hit my friend on the shoulder. So suck it.) Unrabble-B
