OK, I just called Mike Capuano and told him to pass the damn health care bill. Yeah, I know the bill sucks in a lot of ways, but if we let reform die now we won’t get another shot at it for 20 or so years (at which point we’ll already be broke trying to pay our medical bills and we’ll have to sell our kidneys just to afford food… in other words, we’ll be in Sowelltopia).
So please, call your Congressdude and let them know you want them to vote for healthcare reform. That is all.

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, offering his most optimistic outlook on the economic recovery to date, predicted the U.S. will rebound from the recession faster and more vigorously than other advanced economies.
This means we must have found a new bubble to invest in. What do you think it’s gonna be? Do I dare hope that my dream of a POG-based economy will at last come true?
In a column titled “Artificial Stupidity” that accuses liberals of being poorly-educated dolts indoctrinated by Marxist college professors, the received wisdom is that it is best not to commit any particularly stupid mistakes lest that title come back and bite you in the buttocks. Apparently, that memo never made it to the desk of Hoohah Institution fellow Tom Sowell who, in a column of that very name, whips up a whopper which I am sure will tickle (no, no, not that way!) all you SadlyNauts.
A woman with a petition went among the crowds attending a state fair, asking people to sign her petition demanding the banning of dihydroxymonoxide. She said it was in our lakes and streams, and now it was in our sweat and urine and tears.
She collected hundreds of signatures to ban dihydroxymonoxide — a fancy chemical name for water. A couple of comedians were behind this ploy. But there is nothing funny about its implications. It is one of the grim and dangerous signs of our times.
Dihydroxymonoxide is a fancy chemical name for water? Sadly, no! Dihydroxymonoxide would be two hydroxyl radicals (O-H) bonded somehow with a single oxygen atom and whatever this concoction would be called, if it could even exist, it wouldn’t be water, which using this nomenclature would be called dihydromonoxide.
But let’s cut Sowell some slack here. He probably wrote his column after a wanking session over one of those Hydroxycut advertisements and he had boobies, bikinis, naughty bits and Hydroxycut on his, er, mind.
Let’s set the stage. This stupid noise popped up on Teh Atlantic today or yesterday or last week or tomorrow or the day after last Tuesday or something:
I have at best a passing interest in the “legitimacy” of the reconciliation process, but James Joyner pretty much dismantles the current liberal talking point that Republicans use reconciliation to pass controversial bills all the time:
Then everybody was like, what comes after the colon, Megs? And Megs was all, ‘the anus!’ … and everybody was like, ‘NO! it’s the sigmoid colon you tourist!’ and then the joke was over, and this is really what came after the colon:
Almost every act passed under reconciliation (8/15) has in fact been a budget bill.
And then everybody was all, that’s even worse than not knowing about the sigmoid colon, because this is just the shittiest sentence ever — 8/15ths is not ‘almost every’ anything, you horribly misguided or baldly lying person, and to say that it is, is a rather glaring example of either a) dumb ass dumbness or b) lying ass lying when c) you led into that particular bit of flatly wrong math with scare italics highlighting a supposed ‘liberal’ flight of hyperbole, e.g. ‘the current liberal talking point that Republicans use reconciliation to pass controversial bills all the time‘.
That said, Megan boils a mean radish and is said to be planning a missionary position extravaganza for her wedding night, so we don’t hold any of this against her.
