From Timothy Egan’s fine NYTimes blog:
“45 percent of Americans believe health care reform would involve pulling the plug on grandma in some form, an NBC News poll found. My favorite Stephen Colbert quote.
“Remember, kids!” Colbert said. “In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant.”

I cannot support universal health care unless they include the Granny Death Panel. I got stuck in the supermarket line behind some parabolic-shaped granny with bird’s-nest hair and she insisted on going over every item on the receipt with the clerk, thinking she was overcharged. Then she pulled out a coupon that has not been valid since the Truman administration and argued with the cashier that she had to accept it. (I think it was 10 cents off on a bottle of Moxie or Nehi.) She held up the line for ten damn minutes and I was late to work. Now tell me she shouldn’t go before the Granny Death Panel to plead for her life!
