The best panel in today's "This Modern World" is the third (top right) with the colloquy between the Dumbo opponent of health care reform and Sparky the Wonder Penguin. The Dumbo says: "I certainly don't want my tax dollars to be used for something I oppose." Ol' Spark replies: "Gosh, what a good point! Now, let's talk about the Iraq War, Guantanamo, and the Goldman Sachs bailouts! ...For starters." Yes, indeed, Sparky — those are just starters because there is the matter of TAX-SUPPORTED torture and war crimes and on and on. If this is (fair & balanced) denunciation of Dumbo stupidity, so be it.
