How did you get a decent score on the LSAT? I've taught the damn thing and I could have sworn that someone with your reasoning abilities couldn't have dodged the traps and pitfalls they use to weed out weak thinkers. So, how did you get in law school, family connections? I think para legal is more his speed.

Now the wingers are comparing Obama's health plan with the movie, Soylent Green.........you reach a certain sge and you become fertilizer. Its not even funny anymore....if it ever was........they are baldfaced lying with a straight face. I am sick of it! SOYLENT GREEN.... I noticed Anonymous Liberal had a tweet this morning that struck me as funny: Next GOP talking point: it's made out of people!!! I laughed because just this week, a friend of mine emailed a similar point: Bold right-wing activists have leveled with the American people and explained how "Obamacare" will lead to euthanasia. Why haven't they mentioned the second part of his nefarious scheme -- to solve word hunger by converting the old folks into soylent green? [see vid clip] And the reason it's funny is because it isn't satire. The soylent-green talking point is already being repeated on Fox News, as if it were legitimate. It must be challenging to be a political writer trying to parody conservative arguments. Prominent Republicans, who are either stark raving mad or pretending to be, are speaking publicly about "government-encouraged euthanasia" and "death panels." How does a satirist exaggerate for effect when the right-wing has gone mad? washingtonmonthly.com
