AMERICA-Where Are You?

“The little that was new [last] Wednesday night seemed taken from the scheme proposed earlier in the week by Sen. Max Baucus, chairman of one of the committees writing reform legislation. Mr. Baucus proposes penalties ranging to $3,800 on families without mandatory health care insurance. If the Baucus scheme works, it could be applied to other public policy dilemmas. We could cure homelessness, for example, by imposing stiff fines on the homeless who refuse to buy houses. (That would spur the housing market, too.)” –Washington Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden

“President Obama warned Congress Wednesday that people will die if we do nothing about health care. Of course, people will also die if we do something. If history proves anything it is that nothing is more recession-proof than the funeral business.” –comedian Argus Hamilton

“The Obama team is saddled with a foundering health-care strategy. But it has a fallback plan — relying on the sheer dimwitted gullibility of the American public. How stupid do they think we are? … Stupid enough not to be offended at how contemptibly stupid they think we are.” –National Review editor Rich Lowry

“It appears as if ACORN is not just into soup kitchens, daycare, voter fraud and town hall intimidation; they will also help a young wannabe Madame jumpstart a whorehouse. ShamWow, folks! Community organizing, indeed! I mean … what community is complete and feels truly organized without some hookers in the hood? God bless ‘em. It brings a tear to your eye, now doesn’t it? Hope and change, folks. Hope and change.” –radio talk-show host and columnist Doug Giles
