Democrats and the media are reacting to the healthcare bill passed by the house last week

with the sort of thoughtful, measured commentary,

when usually sees only an eight-year-old girl's birthday party after a mouse gets in,

and the shrieking children knock over the cake,

and the candles set the house on fire,

and the fire trucks rushing to the scene crash into one another,

and one engine explodes over an undetected gas leak,

causing the entire street to go up in billowing flames,

that engulfed the surrounding buildings, causing them to collapse,

on both the inhabitants and innocent passers-by.

In an editorial in The New York Times, a former newspaper,

Times editor, blithering provocation the third said,

quote,

"'Because of this disastrous Republican bill, everyone will die.

Old people sitting all unsuspecting in their wheelchairs

will suddenly keel over, expiring with pitiful gasp,

women forced to go into labor just like in the handmaid's tale,

while in their lives shrieking for mercy,

men in the prime of life will be hit by cars

and crush under construction equipment.

An innocent children will slowly grow to adulthood,

then become old and finally waste away."
