here's the new corpse

I'm not sure how else to read section 5210 of the health care bill. Maybe someone would like to reassure me it doesn't really say what it appears to say. Well, I guess we know where ex-ACORN members will be going. Fortunately, since they are all ex-felons no one in Obama's army will be able to legally own or posess a firearm so they will be pretty easy to deal with when the time comes.

SEC. 5210. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.

Section 203 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 204) is amended to read as follows:

SEC. 203. COMMISSIONED CORPS AND READY RESERVE CORPS.

Guess this is what Pelosi meant when she said we will have to wait to see what is in the bill after it becomes law.
