Health care reform PASSES - UK analysis + Open Thread

by: AmberPaw

Sun Mar 21, 2010 at 23:03:17 PM EDT


(Actually, Tomasky's a Yank. Hope he's right. - promoted by Charley on the MTA)

Health insurance passes, the British press analyzes the bill and the process

According to the UK Guardian, a Brit news source, the reason the Republicans are coming unglued, despite the inclusion of 200 Republican amendments is that the American public will become as fond of Obamacare as it is of social security and medicaid.

And what of the Tea Party Movement?  Time will tell; it seems a strange puddingstone of bigotry, ignorance, hype, histrionic melodrama,misguided patriotism, luddite pretension, and those who find no home in either party and do not value government while reaping all the benefits of their government.

Thank you C-Span for my own small window on history.  

And where were you when the slow barge of state turned towards health care reform?

How very "green".

Prof Igor Panarin is right on schedule for June of this year!


Yours is a voice of rationality today. (4.50 / 2)

Huh, have you no sense of humor? (0.00 / 0)

I do, but... (0.00 / 0)
...your comments are petulant and condescending, not funny.  

It is kind of fun to watch you roll in the gutter with lasthorseman and billxi, but I've never been much for Schadenfreude.  

For me the issue is: is he personally attacking other BMGers. I don't think he is, here. He's just using the word "fag" in a way that is insulting to a whole group of people under the rubric of "discussing it." -- Bob Neer

Give our puddingstone its due! (5.50 / 2)
I love your politics-geology metaphor, but I'm a little disappointed that your link to the definition of "puddingstone" makes no reference to our wonderful State Rock, the Roxbury Puddingstone.

I'm also a bit hurt to see "Puddingstone" and the "Tea Party Movement" in the same sentence. Roxbury Puddingstone is at least 400 million years old and holds evidence of fascinating geologic changes. It is a surprisingly strong rock. The Tea Party Movement, on the other hand, rests on a lousy foundation that will easily crumble in a short time.


Not only that (6.00 / 1)
but lots of teabaggers are sure that the Roxbury Puddingstone is no more than 6,000 years old!
