Ghost Breitbart finds <em>The Road To Wigan Pier</em> to be excellent autoerotic material. So much so that he's never yet reached the second half.

From the site: <i>n 1999, then-State Senator Barack Obama invoked the late <strong>radical</strong> Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who passed away in 1996, to promote a universal health care law he co-sponsored and which Illinois voters had overwhelmingly rejected.

The bill incorporated language directly from the late cardinal’s 1995 pastoral letter, “A Sign of Hope,” which argued for a “fundamental right” to healthcare, reading, in part: “Health care is an essential safeguard of human life and dignity, and there is an obligation for society to ensure that every person be able to realize that right.” ...</i> (emphasis mine) "Radical"? John Paul II put this guy in, so was JP2 a commie traitor as well?

Obama exploited Catholics by being endorsed by them. That's as ironic as Bush exploited right wing conservatives by being endorsed by them.

I had no idea Obama wanted to pass laws to get people health insurance! Thanks for the tip, internets!

The Chicago Tribune's words are indeed Orwellian - the Orwell of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/How_the_Poor_Die" target="_blank"><i>How the Poor Die</i></a>, to be specific.

Oh, like the true irony in the song <em>Ironic</em> is saying things which aren't ironic, are, and it's then compounded by people pointing out the things said to be ironic, aren't, ironically missing the meta-irony?

The argument against universal healthcare comes right from Jesus, who only healed people who had health insurance.
