1. I wish that the 16% who say they oppose Obamacare because it's not liberal enough would stop saying they oppose it, so we could get polls that accurately reflect the fact that only 38% <i>really</i> oppose it.

2. I wish the 69% of my fellow senior citizens who oppose it (probably because we have, you know, goddam Medicare) would pull their heads out of their butts.

3. I wish you all, belatedly, a pleasant Memorial Day.

<i>Federal electrons are just more socialist and freedom-hatey than decent honest Idaho electrons.</i>

Just like freedom fries. Electrons/potatoes, same thing pretty much.

ETA: occurs to me ... are you sure "electrons" isn't a typo? Because federal elections are definitely more socialist and freedom-hatey. Maybe potatoes have nothing to do with it after all.

An Austrian economist in France? Things did not work out well for that Austrian whose economic theories involved eating cake.

Same reason no one laments too many violins on TV anymore. It is from the Distant Past. You're gonna have to wait for the Zach Galafianakis remake.

<i>How many Americans will suddenly be deemed “unfit” to own firearms based on their medical history?</i>

I think we have finally discovered the true motive for fear of Obamacare. If more people can afford checkups, and mental illness is covered, then we'll actually have info on just how many people in this country are way too insane to be allowed near guns.

So I can definitely see why the TP'ers are scared.
