One of my previous blogs which concerned my proposed national holiday--Thomas Granger Day, has raised a couple of questions with regard to the currently raging debate on health care reform.
See: http://arizonayank.blogspot.com/2009/09/thomas-granger-day-is-one-week-away.html
1.Would national recognition of all varieties of sexual perversion make it necessary for "universal health care" to cover veterinary medicine for those Americans whose "domestic partners" happen to be turkeys?
2. If the answer to the first question is yes, could a "death panel" ever make "assisted suicide" mandatory for sick turkeys--as a cost cutting measure, of course? Say, around Thanksgiving each year?
3. And, this second question raises yet another issue. If we add Granger Day to our national holiday schedule, should we simultaneously eliminate Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving after all has always generated questions about the separation of Church and State, and of course it was introduced initially by one of those discredited Republican Ex-Presidents.
It seems to me that we still have time before Thanksgiving of this year to do all of the above; make Granger Day a reality for next year, eliminate Thanksgiving this year, eliminate any possibility of "death panels" or "assisted suicide" from all pending health care reform bills, and ADD veterinary care. If we accomplish all of this in a timely fashion, Roman Polanski could probably make it to the White House signing ceremony, although I do think he would be a poor substitute for Michael Jackson.
