Yesterday, I continued knitting, finishing a couple of small things. I also
tried a cup of coffee flavored with Torani’s white chocolate flavor syrup.

It's great to already see Scalia licking his wounds over SB 1070 in the L.A. Times this morning. He was so sure that a new era of right-wing legislation-nullification had been ushered in on his say-so. What an arrogant prick.
I hope this gives O a boost in the general. Some egg be on Butt's face, sans doubt. If Obama is re-elected, I might be able to safely change my own health insurance and save a bundle. Too scared to do it right now while everything is still up in the air.
The wimgnuts are scared shitless, it's so hilarious! I had a friend tell me she was as scared as she was on 9/11! The GOP thrives on keeping their base of morons scared to death, you know the type, they only watch Fox and listen to Beck and Limpy....TURN OFF YOUR TV's sheeple!! Get a fuckin grip!!
Congratulations President Obama, thank you for having the courage to push this idea even though your advisers said not to, and the liars and greedy crooks who work so hard to destroy the middle class in order to enrich the very wealthy, IE republicans, wingnuts and tea baggin fooles lied and decieved many about the ideas.
Mr President you were right and the clueless right wingers and dumb as dirt tea baggers are wrong as usual.
So the health care idea Willard pushed in Massachusetts was found to be constitutional for the rest of the 50 states, too bad Willard you lose, until you flip flop once again and come out for this idcea while you flip flop on anything else you claim to beleive in order to foole the stupid people who fill the right wing and tea bagger ranks of clueless morons who never let the facts stand in the way of their lies.
Too bad wingnuts and clueless tea baggers you lose. Your lies and deceptions have not worked .... ;^)
The Rightwingers ARE the losers. I'm looking so forward to October when Barack Obama sits down face to face with that flip flopping liar Romney. You know Obama will be masterful!!! I'm positively giddy with anticipation!! LOL
Some dumbass conservative fool I know said he was leaving for Canada since the Surpremes were going to allow socialized medicine in America.
He did not understand why I broke into a huge, nearly uncontrollable belly laugh.
Once again the Teabaggers are proven wrong...this time by one of their own. Of course now they think Roberts is a lefty commie fascist, which again is wrong
It's kinda sad how stupid they are, BB...
Here's a comment that made me giggle today, it was on an Obamacare hating thread, notice the spelling...
"Jesus Christ is diffidently coming very, very soon! I see in my spirit a very evil and sinister person!"
Wow teabagging morons have truly lost it..ONE man, our Democratic president, actually follows in Jesus footsteps enacting laws that would be pleasant to Jesus, but the conservatives who get their gospel teachings from Fox news are all confused. So if Jesus comes back cuz he's all pissed Obama is following his teachings, then does that make Jesus as evil as Obama??
Beach Bum, does your conservative friend understand that Canada has a publicly funded health care system??????
Something that makes their health care system less expensive while providing better care for ALL their citizens then we have, IE tens of millions with out health care coverage in the USA because of 60+ years of right wing obstruction against the idea of Christ. You know the ones where he instructs us to be your brothers keeper, and taking care of the poor, widows and orphans.
"Jesus Christ is diffidently coming very, very soon! I see in my spirit a very evil and sinister person!"
If Jesus were to come back, I rather doubt he'd be diffident about it.
People are posting whole collections of tweets from wingnuts threatening to move to Canada to avoid socialized medicine. Canada may need to build a border fence and impose a minimum-IQ requirement for immigrants from the US.
As for Scalia, he's probably off somewhere sawing puppies in half to try to cheer himself up.
Clif, no he does not and that was the whole point. The guy is an idiot and his view of the world is microscopically narrow.
Some think it is a short term win, but a long term disaster:

Maybe it could also be a long term win by making it easier to expand medicare to all people and paying for it with a tax rather than a fee.
"Once again the Teabaggers are proven wrong..."
Actually, Jerry, Obama and his dimwit lawyer who argued this at the Supreme Court were proven wrong.
They hung their case on the commerce clause, which was ruled unconstitutional. So Roberts, rewrote their argument for them, saying they could do it under existing taxing powers.
Thank Justice Roberts for saving it for them. For a supposed constitutional lawyer, Obama has shown himself to be incredibly ignorant when it comes to the constitution.
This isn't the first time the court has had to clean up Obama's messes.
Go Google the following cases:
Hosanna-Tabor Church v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
United States v. Jones
Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency
Bond v. United States
All four were 9-0 Supreme Court decisions that slapped down Obama's greedy government overreach.
They did not hang their case on the commerce clause. The tax issue was also presented. They would have preferred a favorable ruling under the commerce clause. The tax position was their secondary position.
Roberts did not rewrite their argument. He rejected their commerce clause argument and accepted their tax argument.
Throw it all at the wall... Whatever sticks...
