Part of me admires his creativity and dogged work ethic.

The rest of me can’t help seeing this as a metaphor for implementing Obamacare as a solution to the rising cost of medical care.

  1. Part Two is actually funnier (wait until the end and then click on it).

    This project definitely needs to be turned over to NASA and fully telemeterized!! Too much valuable data (and cookie!) is going to waste! We need… Top. Minds. on this!!! Stat.

    You can help! Start by sending all cookies to:

    Jimmy
    Empty Cookie Box Drive
    Oreo, Oreogone, 98765

  2. Underneath it all, for me, reverberates the question, “what kind of a weirdo prefers the cookie to the creme?!” I’m sure he’s a nice enough guy, and smart, but most people I’ve ever known will either eat the creme with the cookie, or just the creme out of the cookie (utilizing the primitive but effective “teeth drag” for creme separation)…

  3. We have become addicted to this kind of thinking which is why we’re where we are right now. The idea that things have to be more and more complicated has suffocated common sense thinking. If we simply simplified things, like the tax code for example, we’d have more compliance and be able to better find those who cheat on or don’t pay the correct taxes, plus we’d have more money for all of the awesome unnecessary stuff obama insists we “need”.

    Simplify, simplify, simplify.
