As if he didn’t have enough on his plate, President Obama is tackling health care reform. That’s right, America. It’s high time we put down our pancake-wrapped sausage on a stick dipped in baconnaise and start getting healthy. Check out this clip from last night’s “Daily Show.”

MATHEMATICALLY ILLITERATE? WHO, US?

The old saw has it that the lottery is a tax on the mathematically illiterate. But the apparent lack of interest in the health care debate might tell us that mathematical illiteracy is nearly universal.

2003 - US deaths by heart attack - 500,000; heart attacks, total - 1,500,000;  silent heart attacks - 3,000,000 more.

Deaths by bee sting - 60. Deaths by terrorism - 23.

Comments about a (single payer) US healthcare system - Zero. Comments about everything else, including terrorism? Don’t ask. Gazillions, e.g. - Huffpo Iran - 49,943.

We are about to get the new health care system we deserve—Namely Sweet F___ All.—‘This _really_ is going to hurt’ - MMoore -

And we could have had this—A land of milk and honey where the crazy right wing is ‘Norwegian conservative guy’ @ 1.20. From Michael Moore’s Sicko—Now that hurts. -
