Faced with adamantine resistance to “Healthcare Reform” from the Right and wavering commitment thereunto on the Left, Mr. Obama has come up with a clever piece of legerdemain that could very well open a path to the victor’s crown.

One of the absolutely unforgivable sins a Solon can commit is to let him- or herself be seen hanging around with the WRONG PEOPLE.

The list of permissible bigotries has been truncated in recent years, although some of us have shorter lists than others. There are some folks that it is still all right to hate, loathe, and/or mistrust. This is especially true amongst the Great Unwashed Body Politic — the very people whom politicos are loath to irritate.
Periodicals postage paid at Boston, MA and additional mailing offices.
The prince of politicos, President Barrack H. Obama, is now spelling out in no uncertain terms that to stand against healthcare reformation is to stand in defense of evil insurancedom and all their (your) wicked ways.

Only let reform be passed and the insurance monster will be yoked to the will of the Wise Heads within the Beltway. Thus will insurance be made a force for good by those who’ve been, thus far, unable to run the government.
The Prez conjures an image of the world with insurers tamed to do good and helpful things — not unlike the zombies at the end of Shawn of the Dead. This bright future would only be possible with passage of the reform bill. Any who stand in the way of this glorious future stand with those who’d let insurers continue to pick the people’s pockets and drain their life’s blood.

Politicians, we’d think, would be loath to be seen in such a crowd, just as Clark Kent would be loath to carry Kryptonite keepsakes in his pocket (for pretty much the same reasons).

Some Chinese drywall manufacturers can crank out building materials that rot copper pipes and wiring in a New York minute. Something I feared we’d never be able to match.

Toyota is now (ill)famed for producing fleets of run-away autos. Where, I ask are ours?

Well now, it turns out that domestic U.S. drywall companies can and have been providing home builders with material just as toxic to copper as the Chinese ever could. And now we hear that Toyota does not have a lock on oh-m’gosh-I-can’t-stop autos. We’re making them too. If this does not make you happy and proud, I’m sure it does wonders for the tasseled loafer Blackstone set. — G.E.H.
