Go wrong...Go wrong...Go wrong....

Classic joke about a guy that gets on a shiny new airliner. Everything is automated, no pilot, co-pilot, or navigator. Just computers running the whole show. A voice comes over the intercom that, too, is automated. It praises the latest and greatest innovations of computer and software technology and encourages everyone to "just sit back and enjoy the flight. Nothing can possibly go wrong...tic, go wrong, tic, go wrong.....!"

A modern day version would go something like THIS:

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello?"

"Mrs. Sanders, please."

"Speaking."

"Mrs. Sanders, this is Dr. Jones at St. Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which."

"That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?" questioned Mrs. Sanders.

"Normally we can, but the new health care system will only pay for these expensive tests just one time."

"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

"The folks at Obama HealthCare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

Cute story. But let's get this straight.

The Obama health care plan, as currently written (over 1900 pages!):

· Has been penned by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it.

· Will be passed by a Congress that hasn't read it (but exempts themselves from it).

· Will be signed by a president who smokes (and also hasn't read it).

· Will have its funding administered by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes.

· Will be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese.

· Will be financed by a country that is nearly broke.

What could possibly go wrong?
