Is It Progress?

Marijuana legalized in Breckenridge

So what? It's still illegal at a state and federal level. So if you pot smoking snow boarders and skiers get picked up at the resort town, make certain you get picked up by the local police and not the sheriff's department, state patrol, or an undercover DEA agent in drag.

House passes health care reform bill

As the only industrialized nation without universal coverage, this should make me happy, right? Except to get it barely passed they had to restrict coverage for abortions and fall to their knees to suck some insurance industry cock. Yet we still won't have universal health care. Instead the government just mandates that everyone have insurance. The Democrats who pushed this through are a bunch of spineless sacks of crap and the Republicans that tried to block it are even worse.

As for the price tag, let's get this nice and sparkling clear. Those who support the bill use the more accurate number of $1.055 billion while those who want to gripe round up to $1.1 billion. Sorry, but simply rounding up by $45 million seems irresponsible. Luckily no sane person can really comprehend that much money. It's all just numbers.

For you conservative folks screaming for tort reform as part of a health care package, I hope the medical and insurance lobbyists are sending you a nice, big kickback check for pushing their personal agenda.

Buggar all this.
