His Obamaness Faces the Nielsons

Or, "Live, on an electrical teevee set near you, 'Barry Faces Life'."

His Obamaness doesn't really claim credit for the brilliant idea of a "health care" "debate" on daytime television, a subset of the electronic media catering to the sorts of citizenoids whose grasp of high matters of state is bounded largely by works of Sally Jesse, Geraldo, and Tyra. But it was one of his hired public relations minions who did, so I hold his leftest Presidential tush responsible.

I'll give the policritters about five minutes to utter an interesting phrase which has an actual referent in the real world. Failing to detect one, I'll pursue an alternate entertainment form such as shoveling snow.

Bulletin: The clergyman praying before the bell has just supplicated in favor of a Higher Power to "burning (our) self-interest." So much for real-world referents.
