[Guest post by DRJ]
Beldar has written a fairy tale that explains how Obama plans to bring health care to America:
Read it twice … or more … because Beldar has slipped in several clever references. It reminds me of the Fractured Fairy Tales I enjoyed on Rocky & Bullwinkle, especially one called King Midas.

Quien sabe? Xerxes ordered the sea whipped to enhearten his troops, by Herodotus’s account. That he was supreme and not even the sea could disobey him with impunity. Then they all drowned in a sea battle at Salamis. Don’t #$%^ with the sea and don’t #$%^ with the American people, I would say.
