Comedy or Farce?

This week's episode of Theater of the Corrupt: Historic Health Care "Reform" has been a fascinating one to watch.

Obama (whose Presidential stagecraft has been far less inspired than his campaign stagecraft) turns in an almost convincing performance as the embattled President, struggling against the forces of regression to achieve an historic victory for the American people.

The Republican and conservative Democrat "opposition", on the other hand, who clearly won this round, have put on an Academy Award worthy performance, playing the "outraged losers."

Those audience members still drunk from the delicious Obama-flavored kool-aid served during the Presidential campaign will no doubt view this week's episode as a comedy.

The few members of the audience who have gone cold turkey from the kool-aid and have finally sobered up will recognize the true genre of this week's episode: farce.
