22. Been looking for Dora "We Did It"
In her honor. Her birthday was Thursday, we finally got our turn for her party today. It really does feel extra good to look in those little faces and know they will always get the medical care they need.

20. I know. Talk about sour grapes, sore losers, party poopers - what else can I come up with?
(Love the forlorn looks on all the Repubs who SWORE *we'd* be the ones to have that look.)

24. Just finished watching Inglorious Basterds. . .
Ha!

How appropriate. Can we carve a medical insignia in Rush Limbaugh's forehead with a Bowie knife?

25. An anniversary kick to relive the moment - today marks the 90-Day anniversary of the passage of HCR.
President Obama's Remarks on Implementing the Health Care Law:
http://cspan.org/Watch/Media/2010/06/22/HP/A/34526/Pres+Obama+Remarks+on+Implementing+Health+Care+Law.aspx">

snip:

President Barack Obama: "Ultimately, all these reforms are about more than just ending a dangerous status quo. They’re about offering stability and security to Americans who need it. Now, we’re in Washington, so obviously there’s politics involved. And I’ve got some folks on the other side of the aisle that still think none of this should happen and, in fact, have said they’re going to run on a platform of repeal. They want to go back to the system we had before.

Would you? (Laughter.) Would you want to go back to discriminating against children with preexisting conditions? Would you want to go back to dropping coverage for people when they get sick? Would you want to reinstate lifetime limits on benefits so that mothers like Amy have to worry?

We’re not going back. I refuse to go back."

26. Pardon my ignorance folks, but may I ask what this is in
relation to? I've been in meetings most of the day, so was not able to really follow outside-work stuff.
