Dr. Mario Weighs in on Universal Health Care

You might have seen a post the other day referring to my new favorite site Infendo and a post they had titled Dr. Mario Weighs in on Universal Health Care.

It turns out that this post was actually "borrowing" from another article (who would do such a thing!) on McSweeney's. For those of you who are not "in the know," McSweeney's is a publishing house started by Dave Eggers (who you might remembers from such books as And You Shall Know Our Velocity and A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius as well as such organizations as 826 National and their local chapters). Both of his books are quite good, by the way.

McSweeney's also publishes a Quarterly Journal and maintains a humor site online (home to the Dr. Mario article). Needless to say, I love both Dave Eggers and McSweeney's. (If you don't believe that I am a big literary nerd just check out my post on the number of pages I've read this year.) Their article on Dr. Mario weighing in on Universal Health Care (can one really call this an article?) is pretty hilarious if nothing else.

I obviously have some very strong opinions about Universal Health Care and how it relates to real life (and not Nintendo) but that's for another day. In the meantime, make sure to kill those virii.
