Two obvious continuing occurences in the wake of "BARACK IS BACK!" ejaculations, post-Proctologist Bill:
1. The identity linchpin for all Urban Liberals is each one's uniqueness. Yet have we ever heard such atavistic, tribal, sheep-like bleating from any group as we've heard from the media/blog Beigeocracy this week? "Oh, what a historic anal-tubing we've received, and goddamn we like it!"
2. Non-stop mention of the word "historic" in connection with the bill. Yes, Obama passed something called "health reform" and attempts in that name did fail under FDR, Harry Truman, Jack Kennedy, LBJ, and Richard Nixon. All attempts by those five presidents were designed to de-link the natural born right of health care from any profit motive. Sure, if Lyndon Johnson had stood in the well of Congress and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to propose the passage of a bill which will take our unfortunate, unprotected citizens and hand them over to gangsters who will overcharge them, deny them coverage, provide rotten coverage when it is provided, cost them backbreaking deductibles; along with the IRS, who will enforce steep fines (and possible jail sentences) on those citizens resisting the gangsters." 'Course Lyndon would have sweetened the pot a bit, but the passing of that sort of "health reform" would've taken about 10 minutes. What Barack Obama and His Scummy Band have actually accomplished is handing over to the vampires -- again, with no strings attached (see Bailout, Wall Street) -- one of the last frontiers of what is not a commodity: good health.
Next stop: Social Security. And after that: Air and Water.
