...David Brooks conducts a somber ceremony.
There among the old oaks and new money, in a small plot of freshly turned earth, he quietly lays his autographed copy of the Simpson-Bowles Catfood Commission proposal to rest.
"Of the Catfood Commission I can only say this," Brooks eulogizes through his tears, "Of all the plans to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid I have encountered in my travels, theirs was the most...inhuman."
His young wife strikes up "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes.
"Amazing Grace" ends and his wife turns to comfort him.
"It's really not dead," she whispers, "as long as we remember to demand it the next time there's a Democrat in the White House."
This thought cheers David Brooks considerably.

Wrath of Khan is perhaps my favorite movie. Top 5 at least. And you've given me a case of "Not the lovely Ludwig Van!" with this.
