YOUR TWEENS ON SKREEEEEET

re: taibbi - well, one perspective on it from one of the few progressive blogosphere people who know what they're talking about as far as the process goes.. this piece of legislation is passing parts of health care reform that are toughest to get through, the mandate, regulation, subsidies. this is the hard part. but after this it should not be so hard (in theory) to pass other bills for the public option or opening medicare to more people, because the issue at hand will be about saving money, there won't be all this other stuff to deal with now that reform's been passed.

no disrespect but taibbi's not an expert here

YOUR TWEETS ON SPEED

WHITE PUNKS ON TWEET

taibbi seems off-base to me, here, and i love his writing/analysis.

mainly I'm trying to sponsor an amendment to get the word "tweet" the f. outta the thread title

so, when do i get all of yr checks? or will the government just show up @ my door with big piles of other ppl's health-money?

I'm hoping I get pizza.

J0hn, you have my vote.

GOP GONE WILD: YOUR TITS ONSCREEN

i think it's time to turn off msnbc when i start finding myself getting attracted to ezra klein

Welcome to Repeal It!: the pledge to rescue America from Twitter-referencing thread titles. We know it’s not enough just to fight this thread title – it could still pass. So our pledge is to Repeal It!

tbh, defriending quite a few on FB right now.

you're the only one.

haha NOT the only one, rather

I've been watching CNN's live coverage, NO commmentators.

matthew yglesias:

Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents. It’s always possible of course that, like LBJ, he’ll get involved in some unrelated fiasco that mars his reputation. But fundamentally, he’s reshaped the policy landscape in a way that no progressive politician has done in decades.

Under the circumstances, it’s in some ways crazy to realize the scope of things still on the congress’ plate. The House has already passed major legislation dealing with climate change and financial regulation, and the president is also committed to significant reform of K-12 education and the immigration system.

on the baby killer thing, from tpm;

After speaking with reporters he went back into the House chamber and then returned a few moments later and said: "Other people agree with me it was someone with a southern accent." Campbell also said that some of the Republicans on the floor recognized the voice but would not say who it was.

Eh, let's not suck each other's dicks yet.

quit standing between the ppl & their beejes Alfred

Now that it’s done, Barack Obama will go down in history as one of America’s finest presidents.

also, may I be the first to say "lol"

BJ's aren't covered in this bill, J0hn.

but doesn't it do more good than harm?

We'll know in about ten years, right? I have strong doubts. If it turns out to stink, Matt A will blame it on Nader.

I am writing the extra check every month for the beej & I advise all my constituents to do the same

The QT amendment does state any new prosthetic limb will be automatic.

with very few exceptions, just about all of these folks calling into C-Span make me weep for this country.

also, i SERIOUSLY doubt that this Oklahoma woman complaining about foreign health care systems REALLY ever lived abroad.

fortunately the house just passed universal combover consultations.

obama wants american men to not look like douches.
