    “Don’t listen to the guys who actually work in the business: listen to the guys who did such a bang-up job on Amtrak, the Post Office, and TARP!”

    The fox can run the hen house better than Colonel Sanders.

    Suddenly you put your faith in “guys who work in the business”?

    Fine. Climate scientists anyone? Public school teachers and administrators? International weapons inspectors?

    Aren’t they all “guys who work in the business” too? I look forward to your change of heart on the major issues of the past decade.

    You mean like, what, the physicians and nurses who are, by wide margins in every poll I’ve seen so far, in favor of the public option? No, surely not those idiots. Let’s leave it in the hands of the ‘business’-people who declare a urine test an unnecessary, experimental procedure, and freckles a pre-existing condition, yeah? Cause, you know, that’s what we’ve been doing so far, and its all been fucking gravy.

    “…Listen to the guys who did such a bang-up job on Amtrak, the Post Office, and TARP!”

    You forgot to pretend that Cash for Clunkers destroyed the banks. Also, look I get that Amtrak and the Post Office aren’t profitable, but they fucking work at least. Can the same be said for our national insurance apparatus? You want to say that a healthcare system where I, by owning a single share of stock in your insurance company, have more say in what treatment you receive than you or your doctor do, is a working one?

    I can’t wait for the 3,000% savings my company is going to realize from HCR! I’ll be getting a raise for sure.

    You listen to everything that “guys in the business” tell you? Man, I can’t WAIT until you walk in to MY used car dealership.

  9. Sean D. Martin says:

    OK, first, what Rex said. “…what??”

    But just to follow your silly meaninglessness for a moment, both the fox and the Colonel kill the hens. And when the Col does it, at least he isn’t the only one who eats. If the fox runs the hen house, only the fox gets fat.

    Hmmm. Beginning to see why you’re so in favor of the fox now.

    If the health insurance companies win, we lose. If we pass a mandate with no public option, the health insurance companies win. But there are so many good things in the bill!

    Buy the new Frobozz Motors LuxuCruiser XL-9000. Yeah, it gets 4 MPG and requires an engine overhaul every 10,000 miles, but its cupholders are fabulous!

    Does attacking the USPS really jibe with anyone? I’ve sent thousands of letters and parcels in my lifetime, and not a single one has been lost. It’s also quite cheap relative to other countries.

    ZOMG SCARY GOVERNMENT!

    And if we aren’t to trust the Fed with anything, why did wing-nuts support invading two different countries? Talk about you costly Federal errors.

    Well, sometimes I have to wait six or seven minutes!!! to buy stamps.

    You haven’t seen very many polls. But then again, it is just the New England Journal of Medicine. Who takes them seriously?!?

    “The opinions expressed in the article linked to above represent those of The Medicus Firm only. That article does not represent the opinions of the New England Journal of Medicine or the Massachusetts Medical Society.”

    I’ve tried a dozen times now to add onto the comment with more explaining what an incurious twerp you are and how this latest really just wraps it all together with a blaring level of obvious that, naturally, you are blind to, and honestly, I can’t be bothered to care. You didn’t logic yourself into your position, you can hardly be logic-ed out. You don’t want to debate, you want to think an indirect reference to a single data point deprived of any context is superior to debate, which is why you can’t be bothered to read the actual goddam things youre using to prove your point.

    So hey, yeah, You’re right, Ferris. You’re right about everything. Yours is a mind greater and wiser than any other upon this coil most mortal. You’ve earned yourself a well-deserved nap in recognition. So… feel free to not bother with talking to us ever again.
