Hilarious letter to the editor in today’s N&R from a constituent trying to contact Sen. Kay Hagan about the Senate’s sleazy healthcare bill:

Since the absurdity of health care reform began, I’ve sent more than 20 e-mails to her office, which are always answered by form letter e-mail. I realized I was being ignored. I asked if my dog’s veterinary medicine and treatments would be covered and got the same answer as serious questions. She has apparently become a pure partisan who does as instructed.

I spent a good portion of yesterday reading Amity Shlaes’ The Forgotten Man. It’s downright eerie how we’re walking down the exact same path that led us into the Great Depression —- government doing the exact opposite of what it should be doing to turn the economy around. President Obama is a regular Herbert Hoover.
