Anybody have a link to a good summary of what the healthcare reform actually means? Like, bullet points or whatever, something saying "This, this, and this will change in this way, but this, this, and this will stay the same." I don't need something really detailed, just something that would give someone enough information that they'd know the basics and know what questions to ask.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

is it possible the loonies haven't yet thought to incorporate ACORN into the whole death boards thing?

They're already saying that part of the health care reform is to feed money into the hands of ACORN and other community "radical groups."

The White House has this.

Daily Show was very funny with the healthcare stuff tonight! Loved the panel o' pundits with Samantha, Aasif, and John O.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is really incredible

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Feel better, Juliebird. Hope you'll find that doctor's number ASAP.

So, remember a while ago here we were talking about the restaurant in SF where all the dishes have names like "I am empowered," and you have to order by saying "I am empowered" and then the waiter responds "You are empowered"?

I'm so using this next time when I'll need a good example of social construction.

Shir, here's their menu. [link] I've heard from several people who've gone there that they actually won't serve you if you don't order that way. If you say something like, "I'll have the empowered," the waiter will respond, "Do you mean you are empowered?" and this will continue until you say "I am empowered."

The kids menu is things like "I am a winner" and "I am a star" and "I am a hero."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'll have the, I am never eating there.

(Hey, that felt kinda good.)
