Mitt Romney Doesn’t Really Live in America

Okay.  I admit it.  I’m a birther.  I want to see the birth certificate from whatever Venusian hospital Mitt Romney emerged from, fully formed and smoothly groomed.

Today he said that no one in America dies because of lack of health insurance.  The scandals thing? He’s not lying.  He just knows so many things that aren’t so.

Mitt Romney actually doesn’t understand how America works.  He’s from a world where charities and churches and everyone else actually do make sure that people without insurance don’t die because of it.

But that’s not the world anyone I know lives in.  Mitt, it’s too bad your running for President of this country and not somewhere like, say, The People’s Democratic Republic of Whatever’s Going On Beneath Your Righteous Quaff.

People die.  Lots of them.  2600 a year?  Even that sounds low.
