A great Robin Williams quote about HCR from his latest HBO special, paraphrased
"I have an idea about health care. How about when the Congresspeople and Senators come out to vote, it's like NASCAR where they wear jackets with all the people who are sponsoring them on them."


:rofl:

1. We should do something about it. We should design jackets for each of them
and put it on the internet with a facsimile of their body - and yes, the names of the companies on their jackets with a legend - for clarity of reading.

2. It'd make a good travelling exhibit, too.
One way to get it to those in the sticks.

3. I liked his comment about Sarah Palin...
"She's a self-opening pinata."

5. Please, oh please, yes!! They should have uniforms with these jackets. Can you imagine the
difference that fact alone would make?

6. It's a "joke" and I'm sure
most of us would still like to see it. If you want a great site for tracking lobbyist money going to politicians try OpenSecrets.Org.

Our buddy John McCain got over 35mil from the financial sector alone from 1989-2009.
