Cash for Codgers

As badly as the "Cash for Clunkers" program was and continues to be administered, the following caught me "just right."

Introducing "Cash for Codgers".

In order to address public concern with the federal government's
proposals for health care reform and building upon the success of the popular
"Cash for Clunkers" program, the Obama administration is proud to announce
"Cash for Codgers".

Each senior in your household (aged 65 or above) may be turned in for a
$4,500 instant cash reward at a conveniently located  Senior Turn-In 
Center near you.


Each Senior will be disposed of humanely, using an intravenous drip
consisting of a saline, morphine, short-acting barbiturate and
single-malt scotch.

This saves the Social Security Administration and Medicare from spending
between $40,000 to $80,000 for an average end-of-life treatment.
President Obama praised the proposal, calling it an "elegant and humane
way to solve the health care crisis, Medicare spending deficits, and the
'overwhelming number of right-wing zealots' who are seniors -- all at
the same time!
