    This is the squirrel of internet road-kill. Not as big as a deer, or weird as a possum, and practically everywhere. You can expect to zip past them from regularly, and it's really not worth getting off your bicycle to stop and take a closer look.

    Even though it's curiously tempting. #racism

    Twitter is the fountain pen of the ignorant, biased and bored.

    I am very unhappy that this bill passed in the House. If something like this bill passes both the House and Senate, my only hope is that in four years a new Congress or President rescinds this bill and uses the tremendous taxes collected to pay down our country's debt.

    BTW, I am one of the conservatives that is FOR health care reform. This bill just sucks. #racism

    The irony is that the least educated and resource-strained people are both the ones who'll benefit from health care reform AND the ones most crazily, vocally against it.
    I hope the Jindels of the nation opt their states out of this - hopefully, over the long run, it'll result in fewer House members being allocated for their pitiful, Federal money-sucking Red states. #healthcare

    @Trai_Dep: It's a bit of an over-generalization but: many of the least educated and resource-strained people in this country turned to the Republicans to begin with because the Democrat Party ceased to support them. Jobs left, schools consolidated, doctors became too expensive. My hope is that legislation like this will help win some voters back on issues that matter. #healthcare

    @contains_hot_liquid: Good points, but I try to keep away from parties, since ideologies are a more accurate indicator. There are plenty of Dems in the pocket (or terrified) of the Conservative one. #healthcare

    "[A] 2,000 page bill, the contents of which most Americans seem to think include a provision that says something along the lines of 'YOU, SIR, OR MA'AM, ARE GOING TO DIE. WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU, AND YOU ARE GOING TO ENJOY IT! AND ALSO PAY US TAXES TOO, THANKS!'"

    "Most" is pretty fucking misleading. Opposition to the bill has been between 50 and 56% for months. That's a bare majority, especially when you account for error in the poll and people believing all the lies about reform that are out there.

    After giving Congressional Testimony, Baby Matty was introduced to former Vice President Dick Cheney, who suggested that a light bernaise sauce might help to bring out her natural sweetness.

    On the plus side, she is no longer worried about paying for her parents' and grandparents' health care. #healthcare

    Arizona Republicans--from McCain and Kyl to every last sorry fuck in their house delegation--are painfully obvious about what they want, which is for insurance companies to be able to operate out of any state so that they'll all come to Arizona, which will be the state with no regulation. Insurers will be able to cancel you at the first sign of an illness and jack your premiums when the actuarial tables say you're about to get sick, and lots and lots of fun tricks besides.

    They hope to do for Arizona what Tom Daschle did for South Dakota and credit cards and Joe Biden did for Delaware and the banking industry when they helped gut the usury laws in those states.

    And that's the second prong of the GOP's plan for reforming health care in this country. The other, tort reform, would save about $10 billion a year. And it would put a price tag on everybody's life. Which is fine until some incompetent asshole who hasn't slept in four days puts a bad drug interaction onto a chart and your kid ends up a vegetable and you find out that you're limited to $100,000 to care for him for the rest of his life.

    All he's doing with his granddaughter is gloating that she's not one of the millions of Americans who are without health insurance, or whose insurance is shitty and designed to deny care. If she were poor and uninsured and got diagnosed with cancer, I have to wonder what she'd say. I'm sure it wouldn't be the Cult for Growth pabulum he's pretending to make her spout. What an asshole.

    The sad thing is, this kid is going to grow up to be just another ignorant entitled sorostitute at Arizona State.

    Prof. Bacon: We give a direct and clear message that there's something wrong with being fat.

    That's because there is something wrong with being fat. Stop it with the denial already.

    @Claire Buoyant: I am totally confused how it's become verboten to say so. The rates of heart disease, strokes, even some cancers -- not to mention diabetes -- are all directly related to obesity. But we wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of the people who go to the Cheesecake Factory and eat enough for eight people in one portion. #healthcare

    Rep. Shadegg: She wants America's health insurance companies to have to compete with each other. She believes in choice.

    He needs to learn the difference between health care and health insurance. Our current (competitive in his view, one supposes) insurance landscape leaves a lot of people without health care.
