Earlier in the year Kerry proclaimed that he would not be the last to know in his chain of command...

I suppose he would accomplish this with a Department of Clairvoyance with Miss Cleo as the department head.

Kerry needs somewhere to put his wife if he wins.

How about a Department of Read the Constitution and Follow It Faithfully?

Would Kerry's wellness department pay for his facelift? That would make me feel much more well.

Meaning he wouldn't be at the top of the chain? Whom does he plan on reporting to when President?

"Department of Wellness." How about a Department of F***ing Perspective?

If I didn't already have a tagline I really liked, I think I would have just found a new one...

"Departness of Wellness"?

Would this be in charge of drilling for oil in the North Slope?

Why don't they go all the way and just create a "Department of Fairness"? They can consolidate all of their pie-in-the-sky schemes and most of the other Departments into this one entity.

"...a Department of Wellness..."


So does this mean we'll all be learning how to windsurf and get to wear those snappy-looking flowery shorts?

"Department of Fairness"

Or "Department of Communist Application."

I think that the 'Department of Love' and 'Department of Truth' would be more likely.

DEPT. OF WELLNESS [Jonah Goldberg]

Frankly except for Kerry's Dovishness, nothing -- not judges, not tax hikes, not whatever else Kerry is for -- scares me more than a Department of Wellness. The Orwellian sound of the name alone should cause conservative and libertarian hackles to ride high. The moment such a department is created, the rent-seekers, homeopaths, psychics, fruitarians, communitarians, magneto-therapists, anger-management gurus and the entire Star Wars cantina of 12-Step New Age Handholders would march to Washington to set up shop and try to define "Wellness" in ways favorable to them and annoying to you (or at least me). You want preventative medicine? Fine. Let's innoculate more kids and have more exercise in gym class. But give Theresa Heinz (the source of this idea) the opportunity to oversee American "Wellness" and don't be surprised if the State Trooper asks you to turn your head and cough before he gives you a parking ticket. There's nothing more intrusive than a government given a mandate to do what it deems necessary "for your own good." Posted at 11:41 AM
