Truth in Humor

Gail Collins shows the persistent value of the court jester, once again:

Is Ohio going to be able to count the votes this time without triggering any conspiracy theories?

Ohio, like the rest of the country, has been working hard to end the Election Day delays and errors that have done so much to undermine confidence in our democracy. Authorities here have spent well over $100 million on new voting machines, none of which the secretary of state regards as reliable.

And:

While we’re at it, would you please explain the Texas primaucus?

[...]

Finally, there will come the terrible moment when the public asks itself what a Democratic-constructed national health care plan would look like if this is the way they build a simple election.

I'm inclined to say that this says more about the dubiousness of letting people from Texas run things, but point taken.
