So, i' m watching CSPAN and this 19 yo woman insured by her parents is complaining about the bill passing.
You're 19, sweet cheeks. You don't know shit about insurance yet. For you, dealing with insurance is about as realistic as Snakes on a Plane.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

When Stupak was actually supporting health care reform by arguing against the Repubs measure to recommit (thus sending it back to committee), some Repub congresscritter shouted at him, "Baby killer!" Seriously? Stupak??? I think my eyes just rolled out of their sockets.

And that there aren't any Buffistas working in downtown Oakland, since I have loser coworkers who don't like to go out for drinks after word.
I'm in Emeryville! But I don't drink. I like seeing you, though, so there's that.

Plei, gotta thank you for the topcoat recc last week. Not only does it not craze, it actually filled in some of the crazing on the one nail that got all fucked up. I may actually last the usual 3-4 weeks with this set. We'll see how it wears, but so far, excellent.
Woo! Awesome.
I totally want to make out with Nancy Pelosi tonight. Also? Wow, that EO was essentially without meaning. "Status quo stupidity is still status quo."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Nancy Pelosi kicking legislative ass.
******
At three critical points in the health care debate, Pelosi delivered.
First, she assembled a center-left coalition around the original House bill in November by pushing through a controversial amendment related to abortion that brought moderate Democrats on board with the legislation.
Second, when many Democrats, including top presidential advisers such as Rahm Emanuel, contemplated breaking up the bill after the Massachusetts election, Pelosi stood firm and defended holistic reform.
She "kept the steel in the President's back," Democrat Rep. Anna Eshoo told Politico. Finally, in the past week she displayed the kind of vote-gathering skills that have been displayed by legendary figures such as Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas.

You lucky sonofa!
I get Jim McDermott. He's reliable, I'll give him that, but he's no Pelosi.
