W|ith my posting schedule, this notice is probably superfluous but I'm taking some time off. So that's why you see me sniding it up at that place that's so crowded that no one goes there anymore for the next week or so. Oh and I won't be posting here during that time either - but that's not gonna surprise anyone.
And if you really must know what I'll be doing, let's just say that I've got a tip about a certain document of Kenyan origins, but retrieving it is going to be an adventure of EPIC proportions (kinda like your mom).

For Esteev
The problem is all inside your head, I said to he
The answer is that you can't think logical-ly
I’d like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be twenty ways your column's stupid.
He said it’s really not my habit to tell the truth,
Furthermore, I hope the facts get lost and misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be twenty ways Obama's a despot.
Twenty ways Obama's Hitler.
You can't just dump the sick, Rick (Cission)
You gotta offer 'em a plan, Stan
And not one filled with shit,uh-something that rhymes with shit Mitt (ster)
Just teabag yourself free
Jus' eat that chicken fat off the floor, boor (tz)
And use the word "Tough" much
Just drop your pants, David
And teabag yourself free
I said your article it gives me so much pain
I wish there was something I could do so that you never write again
And the world would appreciate that, and we'd be free from the taint
Of Hogberg's words....
Hogberg's mom said why don’t we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you’ll have fucked me just right
And then she kissed my PENIS as I rammed it down her throat - oh so tight
There must be fifty ways to do Hogberg's mother
Fifty ways to fuck his mother.
UPDATE: Tweaked for Great PENIS and thnax to Xecklothxayyquou Gilchrist for the shit rhyme.

Apparently, when Obama officially made health care reform the law of the land, he said I'm signing this bill on behalf of my mom.

Sunday Audition: Unprecedented Ramming
Today is a momentous day in history since it is the day that marks the complete breakdown of the Americac political system. The pure gamesmanship and procedural follies being employed by the government are shocking and simply unprecedented.
First, there's the the fact that he's tackling health care at all. At a time when the nation has much more important issues to deal with. Two wars, a financial meltdown, a housing crisis, unemployment levels through the roof, a loss in the Olympic gold medal hockey game, something about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James and the whole Tiger Woods thing - America has much more important things on her plate.
It's a bait and switch of epic proportions. Candidate Obama didn't run on reforming health care, in fact Obama's health care platform during the 2008 campaign was very sparse and proposed no major changes. Chasing this completely unrelated issue from out of the blue is unprecedented.
Secondly, the use of reconciliation. This arcane and almost never used procedure sets up a horribly undemocratic precedent whereby measures supported by a majority of Senators can be passed. It's never been used for health care before. In a word, unprecedented.
Thirdly, the Slaughter Rule. Slaughter of the Constitution if you ask me. This is where the House of Representatives will vote on two related measures at the same time. Another completely unprecedented use of an arcane almost never used procedure.
Fourthly, the House now intends on not using the self-executing Slaughter Rule. Although it is no surprise to see Democrats completely abandon their convictions, the sheer scope of this reversal is unprecedented. It's a size 20, EEEEE-wide flip-flop.
These are certainly enough points to demonstrate how the Democrats are subverting the legislative process, but much more importantly is the behaviour of Barack Hussein Obama Junior himself. Obama has forcefully inserted himself into the debate. Although we would expect Obama to meddle in the affairs of others, he is a Democrat after all, the size of his footprint on this issue (and you know what they say about big footprints) is unprecedented.
The Framers wrote the Constitution very carefully and defined several distinct and separate branches of government. There is the judicial branch, the legislative branch, the executive branch and the vice-presidential branch. The important factor is that these are separate arms of the government - separate. The President does not write legislation, Congress does. And Barack Obama's attempts to manipulate Congress - his unconstitutional over-reach in pressuring the House and Senate into passing legislation - these actions erode the very foundation of the Republic.
Never before has a President even considered attempting to influence Congress - and every health care reform speech made by Obama is yet another direct assault on the Constitution. He is acting as a traitor to his own country, and all for the sake of ramming his huge reform package down the throats of the American people. Unprecedented.

Pass The Bill
So yesterday was pretty crazy. Not teh win-est of threads - perhaps this was what was meant by the Breitbartocalypse. HCR has really been shitty for building community - one of those excellent signs for any progressive reform.
Still, this is actually looking like the one last final ultimate push - the do or die, the next six days are critical to the fate of &c. Time for progressives to take a big bite of the shit sandwich and proclaim it the yummiest EVAR. I've made my feelings about the Senate bill pretty clear, and the reconcilliation bits being bandied around do very little to sway me. I think it's a bad bill. I think that passing it may have some great short term effects, but by itself - this HCR package has more potential for harm than good.
Still, this is what's on the table. Single payer was apparently never an option, and the public option was basically the bait for the insurance industry bribery switch. Basically - this is as good as it's going to get right now. And despite the fact that I believe that the basis and foundation of this reform is bad - I'm now lining up behind the centrists. Pass this fucker.
Why? Well first, it's not going to get any better. At the rate that this legislation has been developed, sooner or later it was going to turn into mandatory organ donation by anyone making less than six figures. Secondly, despite this bill being a victory for conservatives (it's an affirmation of the twin ideals that teh poor are evil and markets will solve everything) it'll be seen, even by our stupid media, as a victory for liberals.
Okay, it's a mark in the win column, bestowed by the geniuses of teh liberal media establishment. That and a bottle of Coke gets you a bottle of Coke to wash down the shame. What's the big deal then, why is this something that might make me change my position on the HCR package?
Well, firstly - the cost of my waffling is small. It's not like there are policy-making gurus who know that I exist, let alone hang on my every endorsement. Second, and more importantly - it's because Health Care isn't the be-all-end-all. Democratic leadership has decided that it's going to tackle Education and fix the mess that is No Child Left Behind. They are currently working on regulatory reforms for financials. They still have to get DADT repeal passed. Sure the useless wads stinking up the place with their brilliant political maneuvering are probably still going to try and give away anything worthwhile in those reform efforts - although there are some indications that patience is a little thinner for courting GOP senators. But the momentum from passing the LIBERALEST SOCIALISM OF ALL TIME!!exclamationpoint1! might mean that some good stuff might get rammed in there too.
TL;DR version - meaningful Health Care reform is dead - but we should pass the bill as a means of reanimating the corpse to supply momentum for progress on other reform efforts.
