A Foolish Inconsistency

Speaking at Harvard, Bill Clinton recently said a "worldwide famine and an obesity epidemic could destroy the U.S. health care system." Since he was speaking to academicians, who regard the ability to believe two mutually inconsistent things simultaneously as a mark of high intelligence, no one noticed the contradictory nature of this remarks--"of course we could have a bad drought that could leave millions of Americans flooded out of their houses." But such, alas, is Bill Clinton (and Harvard).
