Lcd (Looting Contrivance Disease)

The health bill crawls to a finish
thanks to that turncoat, Kucinich,
selling that socialist streak
that renders everyone weak
like Popeye without his spinach.

Are you from Ohio, John? I just heard Kucinich has changed his mind and is going to vote for the bill. TERRIFIC limerick -- I love good political humor and the line about Popeye blew me away! The bill is unconstitutional and many states are planning to challenge it in the court system where it will certainly be struck down. This is the only hope I can cling to right now. Anyone who votes for it will be LCD - Losing Carolyn Devonshire's vote. Love, Carolyn
