(47,953 posts)My Name Is Mitch McConnell and I Owe Thanatos, God of Death, 22 Million Souls
Dear America,
My name is Mitch McConnell and I am the Majority Leader of the United States Senate. As you may have heard, the health care bill I secretly drafted would result in 22 million Americans losing their health care coverage. I understand your frustration with the bill, but you also have to understand my side of things. Im in a serious bind here. I owe Thanatos, the God of Death, exactly 22 million human souls and hes come to collect.
My relationship with the God of Death began as these things typically do: I met him at a Republican donor event. We bonded over our mutual love of back deals and being drunk with power. Before I knew it, I had agreed to trade 22 million human lives in exchange for a sizable donation to several GOPcongressional candidates. I made a terrible deal from which I cannot be unbound.
Ah, jeeze. Youve really done it this time, Mitchy. If this were one or two lives that I owed to the God of Death, I could close out my tab the old-fashioned way: by murdering a couple of my summer interns. But, this is 22 million lives were talking about. Thats a sizable portion of the country, so the only way Im going to kill that many people is through cruel, heartless, and targeted legislation.
