Because if you don't, you'll go to jail. So–I hope everyone has plenty of money laid aside to pay the government-mandated health-insurance premium. Because if you don’t, you’ll go to jail.

Waxman has just yielded to His Lordship, Rangel, he of the Sterling Character and Reputation. I'm sick. Really. These guys are gag-inducing. Sorry. I know neo's blog isn't particularly intended for such comments. But still. . . . Now they're resolving to condemn the Iranian hostage-taking in the 1970s. How worthwhile that is. How worthless these people, to a man, are. Oh Lord. Waxman has just yielded to His Lordship, Rangel, he of the Sterling Character and Reputation. I’m sick. Really. These guys are gag-inducing.

Huxley, If this thing is passed through the House, the Dems in the Senate will find a way to use the dreaded "nuclear option," which they castigated the Republicans for contemplating with respect to judicial nominations in time past, to pass it (or something near enough like it) through that body.

I know you like to think that the Constitution, and the system it has emplaced, protects us against any and all destructive revolutionaries. But I'm not so sanguine. We're in a helluva mess.

Huxley,

You don't hear that anymore. I wonder why? Well, no I don't wonder, actually. nyomythus - <i>citizen</i> would be a significant improvement on this bill, remember? I do understand that to progressives it does seem the most natural thing in the world for the government to provide health care. France has got a pony. Sweden has got a pony. All the kids in our neighborhood have a pony. Therefore there must be something wrong if I don't have one. Not that I can think of any logical reason why I deserve one, but that's not the point. The other kids have ponies. Remember in 1995, when the Senate – we were told – considered itself the moderating force to prevent new and radical ideas from the House from moving too quickly?
