I saw Hillary’s little outburst in the Congo last night (that you, Jon Stewart). It was very funny. Here you have some poor guy who has this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity, gets his question mangled by a translator and then gets snapped at by our Secretary of State. Where did she think she was? Did she actually think this guy was a Fox News plant trying to make her look bad? If she’s going to be so touchy, maybe diplomacy is not her strong suit. In other words – there was a reason why she didn’t win the nomination.

There are many funny things about the current Health Care Carnival, but here are two:
I find it very amusing to see all the noisy crowds at the various Town Hall meetings. Mainly, because many in the crowd are over 65 and, um, their healthcare is ALREADY COVERED BY THE GOVERNMENT! So obviously they must be worried about the children…. Or America… or school prayer… something. Just not healthcare.

And I find it hilarious that the Democrats have agreed to have these Town Hall meetings. Because none of them know what’s in the bill! Or which bill they are talking about. From what I’ve heard, there could be as many as six bills on the table. Everything they say is thoroughly incomprehensible. I hear nothing but babbling on the TV. There could be death panels. There could be pet insurance. There could be provisions to only treat children with lollipops. How would anybody know? The rumors are easier to follow than the facts.

Finally – Sarah Palin. A good laugh anytime. If she thinks the government insurance will ration her care, she obviously hasn’t met Oxford Insurance. Do these yahoos think actual doctors and nurses answer the phones at these companies? Truth is – their previous jobs were working the phones for Time Magazine subscriptions. In India.

At least it’s a distraction from it being August…
