This week’s politics reminded me of the old joke.  This guy’s organ turned black, and he went from doctor to doctor who all told him he would have to have surgery to cut off the organ.  Finally he went to consult with an old Chinese physician, who examined him carefully and said, “The western doctors told you to cut it off, no? ”  the guy leaned forward in hope and nodded.  The physician nodded wisely, and added,  “No need to cut it off.  It will fall off by itself.”
