Republicans had a flowchart—an inscrutable, unwieldy, color-coded expanse of cardboard—that they toted around to town hall meetings to reveal the supposedly terrible, no good health care plan hatched by Democrats. You can see it by clicking here. And a photo of someone carrying the chart (next to a “kill the bill not grandma” sign) is over here.
Not to be outdone in the department of difficult visual communications, liberals have created their own (equally inscrutable) though more graphically appealing flow chart on Who Is Paying to Kill Health Care Reform, which stems from America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the health insurance lobby. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Stay tuned for a flow chart of who is making flow charts. In the meantime, the best flow chart ever made is right here.


Oh, tpfd, how I love thee and your panflut flowchart.

This might be a little old news for some of you guys – but this is well done and should be shared again:

If you’re gonna have one, have a big one, I always say… with some notable exceptions, like heart attacks, hemorrhoids, and Hummers (capital-aitch).
I submit this as the best flowchart:

I can summarize the Republican flow chart:
“Gub’mint be complicated”

@5 – no, it’s “This is what insane Republicans think Government should look like”.
And if we let them near the reins again, it’s what it will look like, but even more byzantine.
I use a flow chart to decide whether to get out of bed in the morning. It’s a lot like the one for a panflute.

<Do I want to get out of bed?> —no—> [Don’t get out of bed]
Another funny flowchart: does your website need a Flash intro?
