Today in inane analogies

For reasons unknown, BigMedia lapsed into the worn out "Obamacare is Obama's Katrina" mania today. With predictable results. News flash: comparing the rugged launch of a major social safety program to the bodies of Americans floating in a drowned city is always going to be really offensive. But I suspect that was the point. Trolling for outrage. It worked.

I have nothing to add to this. It pretty much captures the day perfectly.

.@DukeStJournal I do believe that Tea Pot Dome was known as "Harding's Obamacare" at the time.
