Pelosi - No Student of Logic

At a speech she gave this morning about her plans to ram through health care, Nancy Pelosi said: "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

The circular reasoning in this single line is staggering.  Here are some other suggestions from that line of thinking:

- You think the milk is bad, so rather than looking at it or smelling it, you take a big drink to find out if the milk is bad.

- You need to write a check to pay a bill, but you don't know the exact amount in your bank account, so you write the check anyway to find out if the check will bounce.

- You have a major assignment due in a class, and you don't want to do it.  Rather than calculating how badly it will hurt your grade, you purposely fail to turn it in so that you can find out if you should have done it.

- You want to purchase a new home, but it is in another state.  Rather than going through the trouble of traveling, you buy the house without knowing a thing about it, since it is much easier to find out what is in it when you are living inside.

- You are defusing a bomb.  There is a green wire, a blue wire, and a yellow wire.  You aren't sure which one to pick, so you cut them all just to find out which one you should have cut in the first place.

Nancy Pelosi should probably go see some sort of doctor about this psychological problem.  I'm sure they make a pill for it.
