RUSH LIMBAUGH MOVES TO COSTA RICA, MOVES RIGHT BACK TO THE U.S.

imageSAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In 2010, conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh promised that if Obamacare became law in the U.S., he would leave the country and move to Costa Rica in 5 years.

Well, it’s been 5 years and Obamacare is the law of the land, upheld not once, but twice by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Being the man of his word that he is, Limbaugh moved to Costa Rica on July 1st, only to come back to America in just two days.

The reason? Costa Rica has universal health care, and Limbaugh thinks that’s even worse than Obamacare.

“I guess I had a dose of my own medicine,” he said, “but I’m glad my medicine is covered by Obamacare.”

DALLAS, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The Lone Star State is suing the U.S. Supreme Court over Friday’s ruling which legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Governor Greg Abbott announced today that Texas will file a class-action law suit on Monday asking the Supreme Court to void the ruling of the Supreme Court.

“The Supreme Court has abandoned its role as an impartial judicial arbiter and has become an unelected nine-member legislature. Five Justices on the Supreme Court have imposed on the entire country their personal views on an issue that the Constitution and the Court’s previous decisions reserve to the people of the States,” Abbott said in an official statement.

“If the high court does not reverse its ruling, I will ask my Republican Colleagues in the Senate to initiate impeachment proceedings against all justices who joined in the majority decision granting LGBT Americans the same rights as heterosexul married couples.”

“No one messes with Texas,” Abbott said, “not even the Supremes.”

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles ® ) – Shortly after Philippines Vice President Jejomar Binay tendered his resignation, President Aquino asked the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to call for a special election to fill the vacated position, with about a year remaining in the term.

Binay sent a letter to Aquino informing him of his irrevocable resignation.

Aquino and Binay, who are from different political parties, have been at odds with each other from the very start of their six-year terms.

Binay’ s resignation letter was a mere one sentence. image

Aquino failed to notice that Binay’s resignation was for his Cabinet position, not his elective position as vice president.

Unfortunately, Aquino’s request with the elections commission was also irrevocable, so the special elections will proceed.
