Ha ha, those old people had to stay at work until 1 a.m. this morning after being stuck in the smelly old Senate for the entire snowbound weekend, and now Health Care Reform is just another three 60-vote procedural operations from becoming a real true Senate law the House can screw up. YIPPEE!
But really, this is a good thing for libtards who want some kind of “national health care,” regardless of what Howard Dean of the Daily Kos says. And the New York Times is celebrating with this perfect-match picture of a riot, featuring Simpsons-esque rioters with torches. [New York Times]

Is that a fez paired with a puffy coat in the front row? Shit hot!
Just wait until Michele Bachmann starts praying against this socialist takeover of God’s divine plan.
Yeah, what you said, Jim.
And, BTW — Now I can’t get Thriller out of my head.
Thanx for that.
Since they’re Nazis and racists, they’re probably coming to take Jesse Owens’ medals away.
I just didn’t expect the death panels to be so brown.
Is it too early to apply for a death panel job, because I could use the work.
I like it. Make those fuckers go to work like us real murkins.
Does this mean Trig is getting kicked off Medicare?
[re=482732]tbogg[/re]: Did Jane Hamsher fire you as her livery cab driver, or whatever it is you do?
Do you know that public health insurance is a German invention?
It was introduced by von Bismarck (not by Hitler) in order to curb the socialists.
The German invention of public health insurance is canceled out by the invention of the Scorpions.
When I hear the word “squeaker” I think of one of those little girlie farts that happen when you’re trying not to fart anyway, but it escapes with a little whistle, like the air coming out of a balloon.
Is that what you meant?
Germans needed to invent public health insurance. Right after they invented sauerkraut.
Will I have to report for the train to the concentration camp before or after Christmas is declared illegal?
Actually, what I’m looking forward to tomorrow is FOX News, Limbaugh, Michael Steele and the rest all saying, hey, we put up a good fight, but we couldn’t get over 40% of the vote. Now it is time to accept the consequences of elections, and see if we can make this reform really work for the sake of the nation. The time for division in this nation is over.
Or they will all say that we are now all Socialist Commies.
One or the other.
I don’t know if Germans in invented them, but they were sure good at ‘death panels’.
[re=482743]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Actually, we’ll be Marxist-Fascists.
[re=482741]Joshua Norton[/re]: Sauerkraut is very healthy. It contains lots of vitamins.
You Americans should eat more Sauerkraut. Then you don’t need any health insurance at all.
It’s a good thing we spent many months working so hard with the Republicans. We pulled in so many Republican votes for this bill, it is truly a bipartisan effort. And by “Republicans” I mean Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson and Blanche Lincoln. The bloc of forty senators are part of the Rowdy Crackpot Party, which is a fairly new faction in the United States. It opposes science, secularism, taxation of all kinds but will start backing the gold standard any day now. Ho for the nineteenth century!
It’ll all end in tears, mark my words.
Wait a minute! Coburn showed up, called them all back to session, and demanded that a pulse be recorded for everyone who voted. BAC above 0.1 will invalidate any vote.
Uht-oh.
The Nepalese torch-wielding mob is made up of Maoists, but OUR torch-wielding mob is protesting our new Maoist gubmint healthcare overlords.
Time to start an email campaign. “Why are we paying Republican Congressman/Senator over half a million dollars a year to do nothing? He/She introduced no bills in opposition to the democratic sponsored bill. He/She missed hundreds of votes. He/She voted no on every Senate bill including Defense and Homeland Security spending”
[re=4982735]Jim Newell[/re]: You should try to lure Tbogg to your house o’ snark. He’s about the best there is out there.
[re=482747]Larry McAwful[/re]: 19th century? Half these people think we are operating under the articles of confederation.
[re=482745]Radiotherapy[/re]: Stalinist-Leninists. Or, I suppose with a black Muslin as president, Stalinist-Linenists.
[re=482763]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: The other half thinks the Constitution of the Confederate States of America is the real deal.
[re=482799]GeneralLerong[/re]: And then you have those who believe that the Constitution of the United States declares the United States a Christian Theocracy and that the Bill of Rights is modeled after the Ten Commandments even though one is an itemized list of freedoms whilst the other is an itemized list of things one is decidedly NOT free to do unless they want to suffer eternal damnation at the hands of a wrathful God.
And THEN you have those who on top of the above, see no irony in attributing their Christian nation to the greatness of that Super Christian Thomas Jefferson (who never owned slaves and most definitely didn’t sleep with any and my lord you must hate America if you think he might have fathered a child with one of his slaves whose name was most decidedly NOT Sally Hemmings).
Where were we again?
Heard Bitch McConnell on the radio calling 1:00 am the “middle of the night.” I guess once the Matlock reruns end for the day, it’s bedtime.
Tehee. Redstate blames Mitch McConnell for the health care bill. Erick’s son also blames Mitch for the Republican Senate cabal dropping from 55 to 40. Oddly, despite this record of secretly bolstering the powers of sweetness and light, I still hate Mitch McConnell.
[re=482738]Buzz Feedback[/re]: I have always thought the invention of the Scoripons has been cancelled out by the invention of David Hasselhoff.
“After a long day of acid,” . . .
Thus begins the NYT piece. No wonder the MF passed.
Does this mean the Republicrats will get home to their famblies in time for Voodoo Placenta Eve, or do the House have to fart around for a few days first?

WHEN DO THE FEMA CAMP GARDS COME 2 ROUND UP THE OLDZ?
[re=482758]stanpan[/re]: tbogg is actually funny. He would make a very poor fit.
[re=482904]Mr Blifil[/re]: They won’t need to. The oldz will all be dead or in jail before they qualify for Social Security. Because: they will have to pay triple (3X) what the youngin’s pay for the same insurance or be FINED. If they can’t pay the fine, they will be jailed, sodomized, disemboweled, drawn, quartered, and made to watch Fox News all day long.
[re=482746]Herman the German[/re]: My parents, who were not German, made us kids eat the kraut at least once a week. Dad told us a million times that cabbage had nutrients in it that could not be had from other sources and we had to eat it if we wanted to have functioning brains clear skin and decent eyesight. Naturally we hated it and did all we could to avoid it. Later in life I had a got German girlfriend in college and her mutter made the best perogies and kraut in the entire world and I started to love the stuff.
My facebook/email box has been inundated with cries of how this modified bill will force one and all to buy shitty private insurance — unless you’re already a welfare breeder, or an Old — and if you don’t, Michelle Obama will personally crush you with her thighs like the Bond henchwoman in Goldeneye… actually, they’re saying JAIL TIME. I’ve combed through the bill — it’s 2074 pages long — and did some smart keyword searches with terms like “Brown sugar,” “bone crushing boner,” “Internal revenue service,” and “prison rape,” and have come up with zero results.
In all seriousness, can someone set a brother straight on this? Is a Glenn Beck-style socialist, abortions-for-all mandate buried somewhere in the bill, could vague wording be construed to read a mandate, or is this all total bullshit?
I want the primary source — where in the bill itself this is coming from, not some Fox News diarrhea.
