It seems our government ran a contest for young people to submit videos to HHS to convince other young people to buy into Obamacare. Populist propaganda. Amateur government porn.
It was called the “Healthy Young America Video Contest” and the winners were announced on the White House website Tuesday. The overall winner was submitted by a lovely girl named Erin McDonald.

As original Saturday Night Live writer Ann Beatts once said about the increasingly bourgeois show whose initial scripts she helped draft, you can only be avant-garde for so long, before you become garde. And the president’s shopworn rhetoric and socialized medicine shtick is making the once faux-glamorous president seem like an ancient Foghat 8-track from 1975.
