Colbert and Klein on Health Care

Colbert sums up the health care reform mess with the help of Ezra Klein.  There’s a great graphic of exactly what “ramming health care” down one’s throat looks like.

Conan O’Brien’s Twitter Experiment

I like this.
.

.
As of this writing, Conan O’Brien has 587,401 Twitter followers and one person he is following.   Should be interesting to see how Killen’s life changes.

O’Brien’s second tweet after joining Twitter reads…

“This morning I watched Remington Steele while eating Sugar Smacks out of a salad bowl. I was naked.”

while his third one reads…

“Today I connected all the freckles on my arm with a Sharpie. It spells out RIKSHAZ9LIRK. Clearly I am The Chosen One.”

He now has 587,402 followers. This should be fun.

Cartoon of the Day – Health Care

In case you haven’t been paying attention for the last year, this is EXACTLY how the health care ‘debate’ came down. Really. Sad to say, it is not an oversimplification.  The only part which is left out, is the one which shows Democrats as the self-defeating weaklings they are which allowed Republicans to steamroll over them and the public with a campaign of lies and misinformation.

Late Night Political Humor

.

Via Political Humor

“You know who is on the program tonight? Mitt Romney is here. Mitt Romney is a good-looking Republican from Massachusetts. You know, he’s like that new senator from Massachusetts. He’s like Scott Brown, but with pants.” -David Letterman

“Talking about presidents who smoked. You remember George W. Bush? Remember him? He’s saying while he was president he would enjoy the occasional cigar. On a rare occasion, he would have a cigar because he said it helped him think. I want to tell you, occasions don’t get more rare than that, ladies and gentlemen.” -David Letterman

“And over the weekend, President Bush said that he is writing a book about how he made decisions while he was president. We have an advanced copy of it here. It’s called ‘What Would Dick Cheney Do?’” -Jay Leno

“Did you hear that Rush Limbaugh’s Manhattan penthouse is on the market for $14 million? It’s an amazing property. Over 4,000 square feet. And that’s just the medicine cabinet.” -Craig Ferguson

Alright, not the best I’ve ever heard but this last one makes up for it.  Too funny.

“People magazine has confirmed that former President Clinton called Tiger Woods to offer his support during the ordeal. For real. They have things in common, I guess. It’s a nice thing to do, a nice gesture between two, you know, kindred spirits. It actually reminds me of the time President Bush called Homer Simpson after Homer stapled his face to a doughnut.” -Jimmy Kimmel
