Crux

With Parry Murray getting on board today, we now have 32 Democratic Senators coming out in support of putting through health care reform by legislation, with a public option included, by using rules of budgetary reconciliation that requires only a simple majority vote. With Democratic attempts to achieve bipartisanship with the Republicans, it's been a year of politicians saying one must lead or one must follow, while the public became increasingly annoyed. Now, after the nation watched Republicans marching lock step with their pathetic just-say-no talking points during last week's summit meeting with the President, it's clear to a growing contingent of Democratic lawmakers that all that really remains for them to say about health care reform to the obstructionist party is GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!

Yes, there was delayed responsiveness, but now Toyota is putting the pedal to the metal and keeping it there.

Obama Admin to Blue Cross: WTF? Also, same story, difference sources: ABC News blog and CBS News blog. The United States is noted for being the only industrial nation (other than Singapore?) that allows for-profit corporations to provide health care. Maybe it can be done better some other way?

Reconciliation in the House may come around yet; as a budgeting procedure, it only needs a simple majority, right?

Yes, Alito is said to have mouthed the words, "Not true!" in reaction to Obama when he alluded to the assertion that the recent court decision places the rights of corporations at not only equal to but above the rights of people. Whatever. Now, a corporation is running for political office, and that's the truth: [video:youtube]

While diagnostic criteria for Conservative Brain Syndrome (CBS) does include assessment of the rectum for presence of broom handle(s), clinicians are advised to understand that clients with CBS actually claim they respond to such rectal invasions in a distinctly therapeutic manner. Moreover, current studies conclude that removal of broom handle(s) from these assholes often exacerbates their disease into cases of full-blown Authoritarian Personality Disorder (APD). Therefore, a prudent preoperative evaluation of risk/benefits for the proposed intervention must be encouraged.

Who be that slobbering red-eyed fool blowing fumes over the top of his laptop, there in the back seat of the classroom at Po-Dunk Community College? We can at least be glad he's not like some poor American stuck in his country's healthcare crisis, you know, dying gutter and draining his family's bank account. Well, he's not dying in the gutter anyway.

One wonders, will the rodent-eating lizard people successfully intervene or will spray continue to replicate kevbone like a bubonic flea?

And I thought this thread was going to be about...

Ditto that. Next to climbers, there rilly ain't no scum quite as foul and filthy as white people. I hate them all. Best thing fer 'm is a bullet in that head. Word.

All I remember is he got fired because he couldn't hold his mustard, or something like that.

The idea that advancements in information technology can be implemented by our government is laughable. By the American public sector, millions of dollars were squandered on the creation of the Internet, and we all know how pointless that was. "The Internet is irrelevant" -- Bill Gates, renowned private sector innovator (1994).

More effective: Is it just a misperception on my part, or is Cascade Climbers now sponsoring an advocacy for drive-by shooting and murder of Seattle bicyclists?

Don't give up hope.

The real farce occurred earlier in the evening when the Tacoma Police asked him to say the ABCs and he wound up puking on himself when he got to letter C. Tough day on the rainy spire it was. But they let him go when he promised to quiet down and let the neighbors sleep. After all, he was in own living room, you know, right next to the stack of Rush Limbaugh photos and the empty packets of lubricating jelly.
