...of my life so far: "Obama Will Sign Health Care Bill Within Two Days".
Congrats to all who have worked so hard to bring this to fruition. Of course, I'm including the huge swath of individuals I know--myself included--who continually called and emailed their elected representatives this past year.
Much, much work remains, of course. But still, what a hell of a start.

The only real bummer to come out of the approval of the health care bill is that I won't be able to see respected newspeople say "Bohner" and/or "Weiner" anymore. (In the best of times, they'd get to say it in the same sentence.)
I agree: it'll be hard to forgo. Maybe we can lobby our representatives to insert the names in question into a forthcoming amendment.
