Aversion therapy in the form of barfing is really effective with me.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The only thing that concerns me now is that most of the opposition is because the bill isn't cruel enough. But hopefully if they were to make the bill worse, they'd lost more moderate Rs.
That probably means the Republicans have to go to Pelosi to get Dem votes which will save pre-existing conditions and Medicare.
They'll have to move to the middle, keep the moderate Republicans and lose the far right.

Why can't they just fix some of the problems with Obamacare, and claim they repealed it? It's not like anyone's actually going to read the fucking law.

Note to self: eating a pound of cherries is delicious but really not good for your tummy later.
Kat I had never considered that laundry possibility re: popcorn and I am horrified.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope. They're going for straight-up repeal with no replacement. These fuckers aren't moving to the middle for anything, however much they're cutting off assorted noses to spite faces.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ooh, I thought this was nice and pointed, from NPR:
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, hailed for all of his senatorial maneuverability, does not appear so enviable Tuesday morning. He showed he could gum up the system and manipulate the rules to deny a president of a different party, but he has not showed the ability to control his caucus in order to govern — the way past great Senate leaders have.

Our wings are not tired.
McConnell deserves smites worse than I can manage at this early hour.

If one gets up for a 7AM meeting that only lasts 20 minutes, is one glad it's over quickly or miffed that it didn't last longer?

I'm going to go with gratitude it is over quickly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I need to send those puking stories to my mother, because I'm pretty sure I mostly puked on the floor as a kid (and then climbed into bed with her, aww, sweet!). I threw up reliably on holidays and vacations.
The good news is that the county licensor who inspected last week (we did well, only minor problems that were corrected in front of the inspector person) noticed the split in the carpet that is located under my desk and is recomending to the landlord that it be replaced. She's calling it a trip hazard.
That is perfect -- I like it when The Man actually helps get things done.
