I also ought to, and plan to, put up a post about the murder of a pro-life sign-holder here in Michigan. I plan to do that at W4, most likely tomorrow.
In the meanwhile, via VFR, here is an absolutely hilarious condensation of the President's speech on health care. Read it for fun. Here are a few favorite bits:
If you have insurance, you’ll be able to keep it. If you don’t, that’s bad, because people who have insurance have to pay for you. That’s not fair to the people who pay insurance. Really, it’s kind of socialistic. So, I’ll make you buy insurance, unless you can’t, in which case I’ll make other people buy it for you.
There’s waste, fraud and abuse in health care, which is why it needs to be taken over by the government.
People who say bad things about my health care plan are liars and dreadful human beings. There needs to be more civility in this discussion. Bush caused 9-11. People who say bad things about my health care plan are trying to scare people, and everybody’s going to die if we don’t get this thing passed now.
That is funny. I didn't catch the whole speech, but in the excerpts I saw he made no reference to the parts of the bill that were causing people to think there might be 'death panels' or abortion coverage. In other words, he simply asserted opponents were wrong, but made no effort to show why.

My wife mentioned she saw something about this on (I think) the O'Reilly show, but I haven't seen any other news reports about it.
