Democrats use unprecedented totalitarian tactics to pass healthcare

The passage of healthcare reform in the US was achieved by unprecedented totalitarian tactics, leading Republicans claim. By following US rules that govern how legislation is written by an elected Congress, Democrats have sidestepped more accepted totalitarian methods of repression, diktat and violence, Republicans say.

"They used their filibuster-proof, 60-vote majority to pass it in the Senate. They used their majority control of the House to pass it there. This was all accomplished by a Democratic President who won the election with the most votes in history after making healthcare reform a daily commitment on the campaign trail," House minority leader John Boehner said. "No totalitarian regime in history would have ever contemplated doing it this way. Shame on them."

"It's Armageddon!" Republican Party chairman Michael Steele said. "Aaaaaggghhh!!!" he added.

London Man not giving up on Kate Winslet


A Londoner spoke tonight about how he still has hopes of meeting and marrying film star Kate Winslet. David Burns says that although he is older now than when his obsession began over ten years ago, he feels he is still in with a chance with the newly separated star. He is encouraged by recent developments, he says. "Since my own divorce I've been writing to Kate more often than before," says the lawyer from his home in Camden. "By chance I discovered that her agent's office is near mine so I can pop round there most lunch times to leave presents for Kate. Little things, really. Things I've made," he says. Burns, 41, has vowed never to give up on his dream. "When she finally sees the many, many photographs I've sent her I'm certain she'll give me a call," he adds.
