"House" Actor Killed Off to Work for Obama

From "White Castle" to the White House:

"Kal Penn's character was killed off on FOX's medical hit 'House' Monday so that he could leave his post at the doctor drama to work for President Barack Obama's administration, Entertainment Weekly revealed Tuesday.

"Penn's character, Dr. Lawrence Kutner, shot himself to death on Monday's episode of the show. Kutner was one of the three medical interns working under Dr. Gregory House, played by the Emmy-winning Hugh Laurie.

"'Penn, who campaigned heavily for Obama during his presidential run last year, will work as the Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Liaison -- and take a serious pay cut along the way, the magazine reported.

"There's not a lot of financial reward in these jobs. But, obviously, the opportunity to serve in a capacity like this is an incredible honor,' said Penn, who's also starred in comedy hits like 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle' and 'National Lampoon's Van Wilder.'"

'Government rescue' an oxymoron

"'Well, years into the Great Depression, FDR's secretary of the treasury, Henry Morgenthau, declared (quoted here verbatim): "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. … We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started … and an enormous debt to boot!"'

"'So this has been tried, and many economists believe that the spending, along with other dumb government actions, prolonged and possibly deepened the problems and certainly did not solve them.'"

A LITTLE CANDY FOR LITTLE COMMUNISM

"Read political mailings and the letters to the editor and you will realize how so many want the state to pay for things that they do not want to pay for themselves. We demand the state to provide for cheaper health insurance, better educational institutions, free mental health services, better homes for less money, and cheaper fuel. Businessmen want the politicians to help their particular business with handouts from the treasury (in exchange for campaign donations for their re-election, of course.) We want more free milk from the governments teats, financed at the expense of everybody else. And if the taxpayers cannot afford the handouts we demand, then we borrow it and make our posterity pay it back with interest."
