Enjoy the read as much as I did. Incredible that anybody even printed this, let alone have it pass committee.

Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand
was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a
conversation with the old man.. Eventually the topic got around to
Obama.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you’re driving down a country road and you
come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post
turtle'.

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he
continued to explain. ‘You know he didn't get up there by himself, he
doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up
there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to
begin with.’

Obamanomics don't fly.

A great article on our president and health care.

The proliferation of Obama’s gaffes and non sequiturs on health care has exceeded the allowable limit. He has failed repeatedly to explain how the government will provide more (health care) for less (money). He has failed to explain why increased demand for medical services without a concomitant increase in supply won’t lead to rationing by government bureaucrats as opposed to the market. And he has failed to explain why a Medicare-like model is desirable when Medicare itself is going broke.

The public is left with one of two unsettling conclusions: Either the president doesn’t understand the health-insurance reform plans working their way through Congress, or he understands both the plans and the implications and is being untruthful about the impact.

Neither option is good; ignorance is clearly preferable to the alternative.

Yes, there were some portions that were left out for the movie. Overall though, I wasn't that impressed with this movie. I wasn't that impressed with this book, to be quite frank. I guess a weak book makes for a weak movie.
