    In reply to Democratic Health Care Package: Passed
    I tend to think that, abortions or no, this bill is going to do far more good for women than bad. For instance -- I'm poor. If this bill doesn't pass and I need an abortion, I have to pay for it out of my own pocket. If this bill DOES pass, I also have to pay for it. However, the bill DOES subsidize plans that cover contraception. As a result, more women will be able to afford the pill in this country than ever before. #healthcare

    In reply to Health Care Vote Draws Near, DC's Crazies Out In Full Force: Babies, Fatties, Death Threats, Paper
    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

    Of course, this is just the House vote. It still has to pass in the Senate before it becomes law ... #healthcare

    Okay, so maybe I haven't saved any lives. And maybe I haven't taken down a crazed murderer.

    The Republicans started the long overdue drive toward socialism by buying banks. The Democrats continued the quest by starting to nationalize health care. Now THAT's bipartisanship! #healthcare

    The Democrats didn't make the abortion compromise for the Republican moral majority -- they made it for other Democrats. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten the votes and healthcare would be dead.

    Not that it doesn't suck. #healthcare

    Have you ever READ the Toronto Star? It's really pitched for the kind of people Fran Lebowitz says can't watch television without moving their lips. Undoubtedly, they employ the same. So this is a surprise why? #torontostar

    In reply to Health Care Vote Draws Near, DC's Crazies Out In Full Force: Babies, Fatties, Death Threats, Paper
    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.

    In reply to Eleven Things You Could Do Instead Of Reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Book About Not Eating Meat
    I used to work with this guy who would cook some chicken and rice for us all in the office—a huge loft—and he would always ask me, "Hey, this tastes better than pussy, right?" And he would even lead up to the cooking by saying, "Just you wait, this stuff tastes better than pussy."

    You know what it? It didn’t taste like pussy. It tasted like the most amazing chicken on earth. Meat is great!

    I'd just like to point out that the comments from the meat eaters in this thread are far more sanctimonious than the comments from the vegetarions. Also, I've never encountered these guilt-tripping vegetarians that seem to be persecuting all of you. I say this as an occasional meat-eater who grew up in the South and therefore has eaten many, many times my body weight in delicious bacon. #jonathansafranfoer
