Here's a little background for you. Like 49 million people don't have health insurance in this country and the rest pay too much for awful care. President Obama and his cohorts wanted to change this and decided to tackle health care reform. THis was met with a ton of angst and opposition, so to quell the growing storm they decided on town hall meetings during the recess to talk to the people. Well talks have gotten out of hand, and in the process become hilarious...
Case in point, the first question Rep. Paul Tonko received at his town hall last night, was from a constituent who asked the Congressman if he would follow the example set by the Samurais in Japan and kill himself if his health care plan ended up being a failure. Tonko tried to answer the question, I just laughed.
The crowd's energy ebbed and flowed, with the questions ranging from the inane (a person told everyone how high a trillion dollars would reach if it was made of thousand dollar bills) to the ridiculous (please explain the deficit to my children, in language they'll understand. They're 11 and 12).
Anyway, some people went to Bruce last night, but i got to see the real show. That is until i started feeling sick to my stomach and couldn't take it anymore (I mean this is the future of our country....)
I would recommend this for anyone with a dark sense of humor. Fans of torture porn in particular would like the gruesome nature of these events.
