Today’s healthcare bill is so full of pork that “health” really shouldn’t be part of its name. And the funny thing is, no one disagrees. Not that they could.

“Dear Nancy,
I received your Christmas wish list last week and, I have to tell you, I’m more than a little surprised. You’re old enough to know by now that only good boys and girls get gifts.
