RX Shangri-La

Moveon.org manufactured this clever, trite, meaningless, well-produced and loopy promotion of an illusion called "reform." The punch line is that these two whispering charmers are undertakers and will be put out of business if POTUS gets his way and transforms American health into the never-ending Shangri-La of Ronald Coleman's mesmerizing "Lost Horizon."  You recall, no one ever ages as long as he or she remains in the idyllic valley that is impossibly concealed in the Himalayas.  (Small unhappy downside if you step out of single-payer managed care: You turn to dust.)  I submitted this script to my think-tank panel of eight cows in a pasture.   Cud-chewing continued for some hours.  The preliminary answer is that Moveon.org may have achieved a breakthrough in agitprop.  Advocacy as farce.
