“We’re well past 216, yes.”

Universal health care - check!

All done without the deem and pass maneuver. I don't know how you can't be for health care for everyone. I can't think of a single man, woman or child who doesn't deserve it so this makes for very happy people at the condo. This sucks, "...community health centers, which will get billions in new federal financing under the health care bill, cannot perform the procedure." But for now, I'll celebrate the win.

I'm reading now that 36 states are creating bills to prevent their states from having to get on board with the bill. Nice. What is so difficult to accept about everyone getting healthcare?!

I'm not sure I ever really believed it would happen.

OK -- I need to stop working for this year. Yuck -- what a pork load. As much as the base legislation makes sense, the pork required to get the votes just gives me gas.

Due to a good angel investment, I have to drop out of the workforce for a year to avoid confiscatory taxes. Yutz.

B - That does sound rough.

OK -- I'm calmer now that I'm digesting the details... oy vey Maria. At least the confiscatory bits don't start 'til my tax guy, Greasy Madoff, has a chance to "adjust" my earning structure.

I'm hoping, against hope, that my already absorbent (that would be exorbitant were I not in need of Depends [Notably, no relevant TM reg on Depend or Depends in this context absent an undergarment reference] upon reading) insurance rates won't do the galvanizing 39% CA jump (thank you CA Anthem/Blue Shield for proving that one CAN go fuck one's self).

OK -- off to put various financial "things" into JT to confound the tax hounds. Sorry, big-C&D (avoids saying D&C, which sounds very wrong and not fundable), I'll never LIKE paying taxes and will struggle against their grossly inefficient and pork-ridden bond.

I will not, however, kvetch about the price of tea, should you be catchin' my drift. I'll save that bile for the right to "carry" (not in the brown paper bag sense, thank you) in Starbux. Gotta have a wacko cause somewhere.

Christie -- thanks so many for a plurality of timely political anchors and congrats on getting the "scared once, slide many" aspect implanted on H, a/k/a Bean, a/k/a the Sprog.

Man -- that wacky stuff felt good. Best to you all. Long day in (telephonically) EDTX patent space (Tyler).

B - I never thought my literary criticism classes would come in so handy.
