Healthcare!

I've been doing very little these past few days except sleep and paint. Finished a few paintings, actually: some are presents, and will remain mysterious until the recipients-to-be finally come up and visit me, but there will be picspam of the others soon.

Internet goodies have been few and far between, but this one stood out. Stewart and Oliver take on the Great Sinister Healthcare Trap of 2010. John Boehner is hilariously apprehensive (Stewart; "It's a public dialog about important legislation, not Little Bighorn!"), and there's someone you may recognize in the sequence beginning around 0:25.

Republicans are also holding a conference in Hawaii, the apparent purpose of which is to convey to Hawaiians that their outstanding, exemplary health care system (of which Rush Limbaugh recently partook) is doomed to failure. After 40 years of... well, not failing. The conference seems to consist entirely of people who are not aware of this. John Oliver is there with the story.
