TWoP recap (season 2 episode 3) Humpty Dumpty p3:
... citing the 'cheap meningitis drug' that's been sold in Africa as evidence of medical racism. Foreman says that's greed, not racism. I don't see why it can't be both. ['Yeah! I saw The Constant Gardener! I know what time it is!' -- Wing Chun] I know what time it is!

Robert: I’m not buying into no racist drug, okay?
House: It’s racist because it helps black people more than white people? Well, on behalf of my peeps, let me say thanks for dying on principle for us. heh -peeps - great delivery of course.
Robert: Look. My heart’s red, your heart’s red. And it don’t make no sense to give us different drugs.
House: You know, I have found a difference. Admittedly, it’s a limited sample, but it’s my experience in the last ninety seconds that all black people are morons. Sorry, African-Americans.
Robert: I’ll see another doctor.
House: Fine. Fine. I’ll give you the same medicine we give Republicans heh again


p13-House says it was just a "white lie." "Good one, massah," Foreman says. Ouch. House says that he's fine with being a racist who helps black people live longer. Foreman says that "every slave master thought that they were doing the black man a favor," which I don't think is exactly true. I'm sure there were a couple of them who realized that this was about making them happy and rich by not having to pay for labor, and simply didn't care what the black people thought about it.

Humpty Dumpty - Cuddy's hot Latino handyman falls off her roof, and his fingers turn black, bringing House and his team onto the case, along with a whole lotta "did they or didn't they?" questions about Cuddy and House's history. By the end, the handyman loses a hand before House figures out what's wrong with him, but we never figure out whether House and Cuddy did it.

p9 Oh no wait, I'm sorry -- I have again confused Sela Ward's facelift consequences of surprisebrows with actual emotion. Seriously, Sela -- it's okay to let your face sag a little bit. That way, your eyebrows don't come to little points at the top like you're some kind of cartoon villain. A surprised cartoon villain.
