It’s all good.
#rsrh Yeah, tomorrow’s the earliest that a #hcr bump…
…will show up. The stuff that comes out today is going to be polling before the Democrats finally passed the health care debacle; and the signing of said debacle won’t be until tomorrow. Working on the assumption that this will translate into at least a temporary boost in popularity (safe guess), we should see a bump tomorrow, probably a bigger one on Wednesday, and… well. Guessing how long the White House can milk a party-line vote on health care rationing is going to be a popular sport for Beltway types over the next few days.
As you might have guessed, I’m not expecting the bump to last for very long.
#rsrh Progressive to belatedly introduce public option bill.
“Liberal caucus leader will introduce new public option bill” (H/T: @thebcast) A quick question:
Q. Out of curiosity, Rep. Woolsey: if you are so enthusiastic about a robust public option, then why didn’t you take advantage of reconciliation’s simple majority to ensure that it was inserted into the current health care bill?
A. YOU SHUT UP!!!!! YOU JUST SHUT UP NOW YOU EVIL RACIST REPUG SEXIST FASCIST HOMOPHOBIC DEMON REPUG FILTHY BADTHINKING REPUG HATER!!!11!!!!!!1!!1!
Ah. Of course.
Carry on.

#rsrh Newsweek’s Howard Fineman: Birther.
Fineman, on Obama (via Althouse):
He staked everything on this and, like the long distance runners from his fatherland, he made it (barely) across the finish line.
I was under the impression that the ‘fatherland’ of Barack Obama was the United States of America.
UPDATE: I was expecting pushback on this to show up earlier. Here’s the original screenshot: note the failure to indicate a correction.
Hmm. Ignition City.
I saw this while trying to find out if the fourth and last Planetary collection had hit softcover yet (no). Ignition City Volume 1 is the sort of thing that I might buy: is it any good?
#rsrh House Democrats think #HCR discussion over.
The Corner (via Instapundit):
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Luke Russert just said that one member who voted for the legislation last night told him (this may be a slight paraphrase): I’m glad I don’t have to go back to my district and talk about this again.
Heh.
Ha.
Ha-hah.
Ha-ha-ha.
Ha-ha-hah-hAH!
HAHA-HA-HA-HA-HAAH!
MWBHWAH-HA-HAH-HA-HAHH!!!!!
#rsrh Last-minute BlogTalkRadio announcement.
I’ll be doing Fausta’s show at 11 AM (it says 11:15 AM right now, but the real life thing I had delaying it isn’t, anymore). The topic will be 18th century British fishing policy… HA! No, it’ll be on health care.
Things we were told we couldn’t do.
Before we did them.
[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers.
OK, time to start rolling this monstrosity of a health care soon-to-be-law back… what’s that I’m being told? It can’t be done? We’re stuck with it forever? Can’t cut entitlements in this country, at all, at all? Well, that’s very interesting: being told that we can’t do something, that is. Shall I tell you some of the other things that I’ve been told, over the last year and a half? Continue reading Things we were told we couldn’t do.
‘Battle Cry of Freedom.’
Cheeky of me, I know.

Book of the Week: The Hobbit.
Mostly because I wasn’t aware that The Hobbit was 70 years old this year. How this is more significant than, say, 54 or 87 years old is left as an exercise for the interested student; suffice it to say I look forward to my kids being old enough for me to read them this book.
And so, farewell to The Trade of Queens: Book Six of the Merchant Princes.
