Stay Me With Flagons

Sharing Options

ABC News is going to be shilling for the White House’s health care reform proposals, nothing new there. But they are going to be doing it by broadcasting straight from the White House, which you can read about with your very own peepers here.

But overlooked in all this is the sad fact that the sickness that afflicts ABC News will not be helped by any amount of health care reform whatever. For alas, they are sick with love.

“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love” (Song 2:5)

“I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love” (Song 5:8).

Or, as the great Robert Palmer put it:

Doctor, doctor, give me the news

I’ve got a bad case of lovin’ you

No pill’s gonna cure my ill

I’ve got a bad case of lovin’ you

Doesn’t matter that we have universal coverage if there is no cure for it. Ya know? And furthermore, even if there were a cure, this is obviously a pre-existing condition.
