Now that the Nobel nonsense noise has died down a bit we can get back to the important stuff like asking who is going to treat our sore throats after we get a lousy version of health care reform shoved down them. Forget what the American people want, the brain trust in Washington has decided that this issue is what the Lightbringer legacy will be staked upon and they’re moving ahead with it.

There are two vastly different worlds in the health care debate. First, we have the fluffy unicorn world where the overhaul doesn’t cost anything and the federal bureaucracy introduces efficiency into business for the first time in its history.

Then there’s the real world. In this one, reform will cost a lot and the creepy, meddling fingers of the clumsy federal behemoth do nothing but muck up the works.

The bitter irony here, of course, is that you are going to need a ton of Xanax to deal with the fluffy unicorn world but you won’t be able to get it. Pray that prohibition doesn’t return and you’ll at least be able to drink yourself through the horror. Oh wait, you can’t get the cirrhosis treated once you do that. Oh well…
