"I Don't Know Nothin' Bout Birthin' No Babies"

McQueen's first role would become her most identifiable —as Prissy, the young maid in Gone with the Wind, uttering the famous words: "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!"

If only the politicians were incentivized to be so truthful about the limits of their knowledge!

The President is taking advantage of the instance of OBL's death to assert that if a government can find a mass murderer, it can "do anything it sets its mind to."  I will not go into any depth about how absurd such a statement sounds, but for starters, how about "regulating" medicare so that it does not throw 10-40% of the money it takes from us into the hands of those defrauding the system, day in and day out.  Apparently, "we" have not set "our" minds on solving that little issue.
