There Will Be Blood

slaughter house rules

“ We feel like we've been pregnant for 17 months, let's get on with it already,"  Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-New York) on passing the healthcare bill.

Democrats would not dream of aborting their Obamacare  “baby:”  a plan that a majority of the citizens they were elected to represent have patently rejected. But real babies? Yeah, well that’s OK. They might even fund it, if they can figure out how to do that and still get Stupak to roll his vote to yes.

Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five: A story of fate, free-will and the illogical nature of man.

Our own Slaughterhouse Five: Barry, Harry, Nancy, Steny and Rahm are no doubt big fans of the book. They believe Obamacare is your fate, free-will be hanged, and despite the illogical concept that free healthcare for all will somehow reduce the deficit, they will rahm it down your throat. And they think that  Billy Pilgrim and company’s observation of “so it goes,”  was as astute observation  of the little people. Yes indeed, and so it goes. At least until the next election.
