Strange Brew
Hey folks, I have a guest post up for “Catharsis Week” over at The Incidental Economist. It’s a satirical piece expressing regret for the Boston Tea Party and arguing in favor of undeclaring independence from Great Britain.
Incidentally, I watched David Cameron, leader of the British conservative party, on Charlie Rose last night, which nearly made me want to drop the satire posture and advocate reunion for real. British conservatives, like our own, also take an absolute and unwavering stance on healthcare—but in favor of universal, government-provided care.
Anyway, so check out my piece. Commenters have so far uniformly found one word to describe it. That word is “strange.”
And if you want to read about health policy from someone who has actual, you know, expertise in it, read The Incidental Economist.

Great post. I LOL’d.
I liked it, I did not find it strange. Thanks for linking.
I do not understand the sensitivity to the term teabagger. Those guys came up with it.

It’s not your fault they didn’t consult the Urban Dictionary before naming their group.
