But hey, Government Healthcare will be different. Honest.

P.J. O’Rourke on Congress sucking the fun out of life:

What issue will the Democrats fasten upon as a threat to the commonweal and a hazard to the planet? What busybody ordinance and ass-and-elbows regulation will be put upon the books for our own good?

There are several ways to make a prediction about what the Democrats will outlaw. We might calculate the greatest statistical danger to Americans. That would be death. According to The Statistical Abstract of the United States there is a 1:1 rate of occurrence. But it’s hard to engage in an Obama-style “dialogue” with dead people, even though they do vote in Cook County. There is, in theory, a “death tax,” but enforcement difficulties arise when the deceased don’t pay it. Rahm Emanuel is, we are almost certain, a vampire. But whether this will give the Obama administration a pro- or anti-death tilt is unclear.

Or we could simply poll the nation and determine what the average American perceives as the greatest danger. Young black males in hoodies. But any action on this front would put the Obama administration in danger of support by Bill Cosby.

I hope Barack Obama doesn’t feel obliged to live up to all the expectations some people have of him.

Iowahawk’s famous post, “I Am Joe”, gets some fan mail:

“I think it’s hilarious you wingnuts want to embrace this wifebeating tax cheat non-plumber as your new populist poster boy. Funny I didn’t see your concern when the Murdoch media was trying to destroy Bill Ayers’ life.”

Hence, I Am Bill:

I AM BILL. I believe in helping young people — especially those who show potential as innocuous, non-threatening front men. I work quietly behind the scenes helping them get a foot in the door, arranging entry-level jobs on foundation boards, hosting their political events, ghostwriting their memoirs. I don’t do it for the glory. I do it for the quiet satisfaction of knowing that someday these young people might just grow up to be the vanguard of the permanent worker’s revolution that will destroy the system from within, and that’s all the thanks I need.
