But enough about that, hurray for tele! Woo Yeah!

Could the bill have been a bit better? Hell yeah, and I won't even bother in simply saying "Single Payer", because that's too obvious. No, I would have liked it if they introduced a certain measure that would remove the whole state lines issue with insurance, as well as the removal of the "You Must Buy Insurance" clause. I would have also loved it had they not voted for an Anti-Abortion bill during this time, one that somehow got through the liberals... oh wait I keep forgetting there are no liberals. 
 
But the biggest story to this is the opposition. Yes the opposition to this bill. They demanded compromise, completely forgetting that scrapping the single payer notion is the compromise they whined for. They also demanded ridiculous shit that doesn't actually work that way in the house of representatives, then again I shouldn't be shocked that they completely forgot the rules. Yes, for the past few months, republicans and blue dogs have been literally dragging their feet (With exception of one republican who will be talked about soon) the whole way through, and who can blame them with the cash they made over the past few months. With contributions like that, you've got to be representing, even though it might make you look like a twat (Although I'm still wondering how Herb Kohl received -$50 in contributions, did he have dinner with lobbyists and was stuck with the bill?! Also note RON PAUL got a tidy sum himself, what a cast iron libertarian). 
 
What comes with this news of course? The news that one New Orleans representative voted for the bill. I'm quite glad he had the courage to do this, it isn't easy to stand up against party ideology especially when the party's unfortunate vocal presence is this group (Click, if you dare, seriously that stuff with make you as misanthropic as one can get). The question is, will he buckle? Yeah... I don't think so. But I would imagine if he is scared to fall asleep at night.

In other news, reports from the Fort Hood shooting are in, and when I say "are in" and "reports", I mean a bunch of bigoted idiots give their worthless opinions on the matter. 
 
Yeah it seems as if the name really pissed off certain people to no end. People are off claiming that this was a "terrorist act". By terrorist act, they mean al Qaeda, because all Muslims are part of al Qaeda despite the fact that it is a blatant bigoted statement, and people are horrible for even bothering with that thought. Was it a terrorist act? I don't know, in fact, I don't want to know until reports come in from the military. Why should I offer my opinion? My opinion is about as invalid as the JAG officer's was when he went on CNN to describe how this is an Islamic based attack and we should have no more Muslims in the military (On a lighter note, this is the same guy who discounted a woman for not knowing anything in the military or on PTSD despite having been a POW who was shot at, as well as someone who suffers from PTSD, so shut the fark up whomever you are, your opinion is even more invalid). The point is, I'll let the experts talk it out. I'm not an expert, so I can only talk about it without pretending I know much about it (despite doing that with just about everything I've ever talked about).

Finally Newsbusters are still going after an episode of Sesame Street for being liberal propaganda. Do I need to say anything else? Here's the link. 
 
Although I shouldn't be shocked from a website that tries to copy the Daily Show in its online show (Which sucks) and whose third top story is Ronald Reagan. Nevermind that the episode is from September, doesn't matter to Newsbusters.
