last night at dinner i interrupted a long and increasingly convoluted conversation about healthcare reform (is there any other kind?) to talk about the impending office christmas cookie exchange.
the office christmas cookie exchange, i explained, goes like this.
everyone who wants to participate bakes cookies.
everyone who baked cookies gets together to trade cookies.
everyone who baked cookies goes home with new, delicious cookies.
"oh," saith uncle bob. "sounds like a healthcare exchange."
but, i continued, i am pretty sure that the rules aren't actually going to be enforced and that everyone is going to come in and eat cookies, whether they baked them or not. so, some people bake, but all people eat.
"oh," saith uncle bob. "sounds like the public option."
rimshot, heyo!

why don't we just embrace death?
pain is part of life. Then you die. cheating it doesn't work.
and trying to cheat it is just REALLY, REALLY, REALLY expensive and only lines the pockets of big pharma.
