Healthcare Reform

Letter from a friend on healthcare reform in the U.S.


"Dawg, saw this article in the Globe's Metro section the other day and thought you might be interested. I know you're a strong advocate of a single-payer system. But that'll never happen. It’s too simple and effective.


Q U O T E

STATE REP RUSHED TO MASS GENERAL

BY Tony Clifton

State Rep. Chalfont Adonadio collapsed at his home in Brookline on Friday night after a dinner of All-Natural Cheese Puffs and sautéed pigs feet and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital with strangulated intestines, perforated ulcers and peritonitis. The emergency room was overcrowded with undocumented aliens and jewel thieves and he was bedded in the men’s room. When he was examined at noon on Saturday, an immediate operation was necessary and the Greek surgeon goofed and sewed up a live monkey in him. Then he was gangfucked by the Irish-Arab attendants, after which one of them—one Seamus bin Abdullah-Abdullah, according to the preliminary police report filed by Boston Police Department’s sergeant Nicky “The Loser” Cantwell--stole the penicillin ordered by the surgeon, substituting Saniflush, and fled the premises.

Mr. Adonadio is not expected to recover.

U N Q U O T E

This "clipping" is from a friend who thinks he's funny. But the question lingers: "Funny ha-ha, or funny weird?" And story seems somehow familiar. Gotta be a lift from somewhere. One is reminded of today's Word of the Day from UrbanDictionary.com:

"Self-defecating--To unintentionally demean oneself. To unthinkingly place oneself in an unflattering light. (People who minimize their genius are self-deprecating. People who eulogize their ignorance are self-defecating.)
