I think the problem is the general public wants socialized medical care, except they don't want it if you call it that....
Socialism = SOVIET EMPIRE OF DEATH!!
They should market it as "Super Happy Crazy Funtime Must-See-Medicine".
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

should we call it 'medical care, brought to you by the New York Times, NAFTA, and the people who want to take your guns away' ?

Happy Birthday Sheryl!
Is it just me, or have mornings been especially vicious this week?

You forgot "latte-drinking, Volvo-driving, sushi-eating"
(PS, under socialized medical care, lattes and sushi will be mandatory.)

Okay, so I get that sushi and lattes might be a bit lefty-froofy, but Volvos?! For serious?

The thing about Volvos, is, they are not pickup trucks or SUVs! Therefore, unAmurrican.

They're not now?
Can I still be a Democrat if I stop drinking lattes and eating sushi?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Medical care could be paid for by advertising. Just think, if instead of putting you under for three hours or whatever for surgery, they could immerse you into a virtual reality infomercialtainment system....

Jars, it's from this 2004 political ad.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Wisconsin is pretty wild. About a third of my high school graduating class ended up dying from attacks by cougars or the Wisconsin Fresh-water Shark....
Which part? The northern part, I can see. The southern part, you're more likely to be killed by a falling corn stalk.
