Three helpings of healthcare

In the cartoon cafeteria, everyone gets their just desserts, and it’s usually a pie in the face. Nate Beeler sunk his not-so-sweet teeth into the pastry-chef-in-chief, as President Obama applied the piècepièce despite all the résistance. Clay Bennett dished out an upside-down take that won’t satisfy either side’s appetite for blame. And Tom Toles’ mint-condition mythical machine served up an out-of-this-world recipe for an unhealthy future political food fight. These guys don’t sugarcoat it. Check please!
