So, Mr. Obama goes to bat for the City of Chicago on its bid to host the Olympics in 2016. In the middle of his busy work schedule he and Mrs. O find time to travel internationally and flex their clout. We all know the results - Chicago was the very first of the finalist cities to be eliminated from consideration, going down on the first round of balloting.

Which inevitably leaves one with this question:

WHAT KIND OF CHICAGO POLITICIAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RIG AN ELECTION????

I was at LAX last week, going through the security line before going to the gate for my flight. TSA was doing it's usual wonderful job of routing people into the longest lines, making unintelligible announcements about their latest quirks, failing to provide adequate plastic buckets, --- you know --- the usual.

I was stoic, as is my want. But people around me were steaming, complaining and bitching left and right.

So, I simply asked them one question:

How are you going to like it when these guys are handling hospital admissions?

If you like TSA, you are going to love government-controlled medicine.
