I’m starting to get this cold, queasy feeling that in the next day or two we’re going to see front-page photos of a gang of pompous, Congressional morons flashing their teeth and patting each other on the back as if they’ve accomplished something.
The healthcare bill they pass (and, at this point, isn’t it a foregone conclusion that they will, if only for xmas headlines?) would fit right in at There I Fixed It–a rickety, amateurish assemblage of clumsily cobbled-together bits & bobs.
Congratulations, asshats. You’ve created a monster gift to the already bloated insurance industry, and you’ve done not a whit to improve access to or quality of healthcare in this country. Good on ya.
Politics… an abomination before our eyes, or the pinnacle of genius performance art?

What?…. you’re not happy with the offerings from the self-serving and uncooperative elected public servants who are only doing what is best for us? This Scrooge is in total agreement!
