Obama just hijacked America's health care airliner, and crashed it into the largest bank accounts in the world, thereby injuring thousands of millionaires.

At least, I think that's the analogy. As a bonus, it comes with a complete set of conspiracy theories.

Think of the time we'd save, by tuning them out immediately! Heck, mark 'em with a swastika 卐 so we don't have to read anything.

All it will take is the Hiroshima of elections, this November.

Although personally, I'm hoping to see the Hindenberg of conventions in Tampa. (Oh, the huge manatees!)

You get executive treatment? Mine, apparently, is owned by a gaggle of low-level clerks in Aetna's claims denial division.

If you're broke, and sick, the free market would just as soon put you down -- there's no profit in feeding you, let alone curing you.

"The conservative dissent . . . reads strangely because the conservatives refused to acknowledge Roberts’s opinion."

Spewed out their dissent without acknowledging the other side at all. That sounds very .... Republican. Not that they're partisan or anything.

Sadly, zombie Thomas Jefferson isn't around to explode these fuckwads' heads, by telling them exactly what he thinks of Scalia, Thomas, et al.

Funny how the "initial" stand is the "principled" one ... rather than the one arrived at after doing some actual thinking.

Pretty much sums up the conservative thought process, doesn't it?
