Cartoon #3

I read a cartoon by Nate Beeler for the Washington Examiner, posted on 12/11/09. It depicts the Health Care bill as a tangled ball of Christmas lights as tall as a person. There are two donkeys looking at it disheartenedly, and one of them says "I'm inclined to say we should just plug it in and break out the eggnog." I guess this is supposed to mean that that the Health Care bill is a big mess right now, and it will take a lot of work to clean up. Also, there is a big deal about getting it done before the new year, which means before this session of Congress ends. If that is going to happen, then a lot of work needs to be done. It may seem impossible, but what I got out of the cartoon is that making the Health Care bill something manageable can be done, just like untangling Cristmas lights.
