Have fun spending the fifty bucks whileyou’re on the rack.

Look on the bright side the longest case of hiccups lasted for decades.

Simply put a spoon full of sugar in your mouth and let it dissolve.

Works every time!

Good luck on collecting that $50.00

That’ll be fifty bucks if you pay in cash.Or five hundred if you have Obamacare and I have to spend forty hours of my time filling out government forms!!!

I, as a long standing Republican (before Shrub the Moron) actually contributed several hundred dollars to Obama’s campaign because I thought he was going to propose a single payer health care system much like Taiwan has. And what did we get? MORE DAMNFOOL SCREWED UP GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS that, as Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to vote for this so we will find out what is in this bill.”

GAWDS what a bunch of idiots!!!!!

One time when I had the hiccups a woman said to me, “Just think of the one you love the most.” Oddly enough…it worked!

Give him the $50 and raise his taxes.

Did Wiz trip on his own big feet?

Here’s to Obamacare. Long may his name resound among all the grateful. The Reeps again have shot themselves in both feet and made their opponents look like angels. Funny how hate is.

On that cold day in Hell (we’ll all be watching breathlessly from down below), the U.S. might just join the rest of the civilised world.

@luther1

The bars aren’t open yet, we’re still hungover from yesterday’s dose of life in the good old American cauldron.

@BigChiefDesoto

Single payer exists and works well in the rest of the civilised world, but this is the U.S., and single payer is pie in the sky until a beginning is made somewhere. It might happen here, too, but it would be long after we have returned to dust.At least those who have nothing will have something with Obamacare

@Citizen Grog!

Thanks for this common sense approach.

The trickle down voodoo witch doctor is alive and well in the form of Mr." I built it all myself" (and then stashed the proceeds in the Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts).We’re still waiting for the trickle,oh wizards of Wall Street.Please view “Trickle down theory’s not working for me” You Tube video. A talented guy who tells it like is, set to music.

The powers that be do not like Obama, so whatever he does will not get support. The country is in such a mess, that they will have to go along with the next president. Inflation is coming, to pay for the wars, and good times in a couple of years.

By golly it worked!

I knew this girl who had the hiccups for hours and was getting frustrated, so I put my thumbs at two certain pressure points on her forehead, like I had seen it done on a medical show, and it worked! She was so happy cause she had tried practically everything else…

I have read that a democracy will last only as long as when people can get something for nothing. I believe we have reached that point.

We are all indebted to you of the greatest generation, who also lived through the Great Depression.Am mystified that you seem down on the idea of helping others via “welfare government”. Wasn’t there great enough suffering by millions in need until FDR came along?Are we not to be our brother’s keeper, those who desperately need our help?Read with interest some years ago WWII combat vets stating that they ’had never before and have never since felt the same closeness to other human beings as they did in war, all being in the same boat"

Amazing how much political BS comes out of a comic strip about hiccups!
