A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at an orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in.

The Iran-Contra affair was one of the most absurd, self-defeating, damaging and hypocritical policies ever pursued by any government in the history of ever. A Reagan initiative, it involved first selling arms to Iran-which was at the time under an arms embargo-then hoovering up the profits and using them to illegally fund terrorist groups in Central America. In between, there was lying to congress, bribing officials, violating the Constitution and working with the same Central American drug traffickers we'd sworn to stamp out. It was basically a "how to" in violating your principles and shooting yourself in the foot: America was not only secretly dealing with terrorists, it was secretly dealing with the very same terrorists it had forbidden the rest of the world from dealing with. And for what? The chance to funnel millions of dollars to a bunch of thugs who were openly murdering civilians in Nicaragua.
