    In reply to The Senate Health Care Bill and the Stupid Politics of Printing
    Have Democrats ever contemplated just leaving the country to the Republicans for ten years and then returning and conquering the decaying rubble?

    Apparently the Republicans want to kill more trees as well as people.

    Nice job on this story.

    I was looking over the bill and none of my college professors would have taken an essay with that font size and those gaping margins.

    Gimme a break everyone has all week to stuff their fat faces with turkey and read this boring ass bill. Most of it is legislative jargon not worth skimming.

    Apparently killing people to score political political points (as Rep. Alan Grayson pointed out) isn't enough for the GOP. Now they must kill trees as well. What next, kittens?

    Because sweeping reform of one of America's largest industries should fit on the back of an envelope.

    "Unsustainably" Hahahahahaa.... such bullshit.

    I would venture to say that if we were in actual danger of running out of trees because of printing the health care bill, then perhaps it actually is too long. But, if we're not going to run out of trees, then the word 'unsustainable' is incorrect and stupid.

    @Han Valen: I think Adrian was using the word to humorous effect.

    Sometimes, humor can be incorrect and stupid. That's why I love it so.

    That letter is a joke right? There arent seriously going to write the bill on rice to combat the bullshit talk about how large a bill is.

    What is their point in even raising the argument about the size of the bill? Look guys, theyve thought of stuff and written it down! Maybe they've trying to create a new system which requires a lot of groundwork to be laid! How dare they!
