Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Roberts is the Severus Snape of the Supreme Court.

He voted for healthcare because he's always been secretly in love with Obama's mom?

I can't tell you how many people I know who want to start their own businesses, but are staying in soul-sucking jobs because they have pre-existing 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.

Gods, the things I've done employment wise because of Hubby's health . . . He's got Medicaid, but having my insurance cover him has always been essential, to.

Even if the ACA only required insurance companies to take people regardless of pre-existing conditions, it would be worth it.

Except the individual mandate is needed to avoid adverse selection (as otherwise healthy people would not buy health insurance until they get sick, which goes against the very idea of insurance).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Stolen from a friend who stole it from somewhere else:

You are not required to buy health insurance. If you do not, you pay more taxes. If you do not have children, you pay more taxes, if you do not have a mortgage, you pay more taxes, if you do not get married, you pay more taxes, if you do not donate to charity, you pay more taxes, etc. I see no one claiming that the government is REQUIRING you to do any of these things. It is the exact same thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's not a puppy; it's a Muppet.

It's the dragon (?) from Neverending Story!

I am glad I don't have political people I disagree with on my FB.
