My job is so iffy right now that the idea of universal health care being passed relatively soon is good news to my ears.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Actually, health care reform is one of the things that could most help Jo Average-American weather the recession -- one of the most worrisome aspects of job loss is health insurance loss, particularly if you have preexisting conditions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, that's true. Plus a lot of people are afraid of going into business for themselves for the same reason.

man, my doctor best friend has been out of the country since 2 days before the election. To come back and hear that universal health care may be a reality in the not too distant future will blow her mind in a very good way.
She's been in Morocco where, she says, everyone is mad for Obama. She was in a cab the day after the election with a driver who spoke no English (and she speaks very little French or Arabic) and he kept turning around, giving her the two thumbs up, while shouting "OBAMA! OBAMA!"

I had a dream about Obama and Emanuel in which Obama was holding Emanuel by the scruff of his neck and Emanuel was flipping out like a terrier who wants to eat the mailman.
I can see the LOLObama in my head.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I think about eight people in the world would get that joke and they're all right here. Well, and Ryland.

Ayup.

I'm fairly sure this might actually happen at some point. Emanuel looks like he wants to eat his enemies on a daily basis. Preferably with some Chianti and fava beans.

I suspect this may be an accurate description of their day-to-day interactions.

I'm trying to picture the Emmanuel family Passover Seder and giggling madly.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Some of the LOLObamas are stretching, but some aren't bad:
