There is a very good article in 'Roger Ebert's Journal' on these Death Panels with some hilarious accompanying images from 'The Passion of Joan of Arc.'

From the perspective of a Canadian (y'all love it when we weigh in your health care issues, right?), I have to say that the following the debate around this gives me the exact some sense of disorientation that one gets when one hasn't watched any kind of T.V. for a long time and then dives right in to the deep waters of like, The Bachelorette or the Glenn Beck Show. You just kind of stare, slack-jawed, waiting for the moment that lets you know it's an elaborate parody.

This thing would be greater than Spinal Tap if the stakes weren't so tragically high.

Just this one. I find it throws people off balance. Ditto with winking at adorable old men on the street.

A Southern Canadian? Do they sit on the porch relaxing with a big pitcher of sweet tea on a -30 degree day complaining about "the vapors"?

You might give someone a heart attack if you're not careful!

The first person to utter "death panel" was Jesus.
