With the economy in the shitter, most of us can’t afford the luxury of a UFC pay-per-view, but who needs one when we have these televised town hall meetings on healthcare reform? Old folks haven’t been this impassioned since Matlock went off the air and Sizzler posted "No sharing" signs on their salad bar. Is the public option socialist medicine that will drive costs up, or will it bring costs down? Who cares! Let’s all just bitch and complain on points we can’t confirm, then step outside for a smoke and some pork rinds.

Numbers

$1,244

The average extra cost to treat an obese person, as compared to a healthy-weight person, in 2002. The Toilet Paper hasn’t determined if this was because of weight-related procedures or the handfuls of complimentary Dum-Dums the fat bastards snagged out of the bowl at the reception desk.

Quote

To preserve health is a moral and religious duty. For health is the basis of all social virtues. We can no longer be useful when we are not well.

Right on, Sammy! Wait… how much is this going to cost?
