Lighter side...

Noticed this bit on a Pynchon listserv that I was a member of...

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's Nationalized Health Care Plan:

• The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.
• The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
• The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.
• Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
• Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, Grow Up."
• The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists said they could see right through it.
• Surgeons decided to wash their hands off the whole thing.
• The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter," and the Podiatrists thought it was a step forward.
• The Urologists were pissed off, but the Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
• In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes who were opposing the whole plan.
