"Tooth-level surveillance": From the Declaration of Independence to dentured servitude in a mere quarter-millennium.

Just brilliant.

Before Obama's Act of Supremacy did the English language ever have need for such a phrase? "Tooth-level surveillance": From the Declaration of Independence to dentured servitude in a mere quarter-millennium.

One of Steyn's best lines ever. Devastating piece.

One certainly wonders why there have been no VERY public excommunications?

This one is really good:
In my latest book, I cite my personal favorite among the epic sweep of Commissar Sebelius' jurisdictional authority:

"The Secretary shall develop oral healthcare components that shall include tooth-level surveillance."

Before Obama's Act of Supremacy did the English language ever have need for such a phrase? "Tooth-level surveillance": From the Declaration of Independence to dentured servitude in a mere quarter-millennium.
And what about gastrointestinal healthcare components and their level of surveillance? Folks who write and think like that have no business being anywhere near the reins of government. They should all be driven out into pillories for public humiliation before being released to the private sector to work in entry-level positions.

It is a doomed experiment – and on the morning after it will take a lot more than a morning-after pill to make it all go away.

Is he referring to the political equivalent of the D and C?

“One certainly wonders why there have been no VERY public excommunications?”

The woman who headed Komen was pretty much excommunicated from proper society. Heresy against the sacrament of abortion is a serious offense.
